LAUR-y's TRAGEDY.
Officer Store and Burglars Fatal
Firht.


sLanrens. Spes.a.--Few tragedies
have so Shocked the people of the
community as the result Of deadly
encounter Wednesday night between
Patrolman McDufie Stone and ".
Frank Walker and an unknown burg
lar, whose outfit of tools indicates
! that he was safecracker. The un-
known yeseman lies dead at the city
station house and Patrolman Stone
died at $50 Thursday afternoon. The
story of the tragedy as learned from
Mr. Walker and Mr.. Stone is that in
4 the course of their nightly rounds the
two policemen met the through
freight from Spartanburg, which ar
rived here at 2:15, as IS their Gus
tom. Upon reaching the depot Mr..
Stone walked down one side of the
tram Of cars and Mr.. Walker down
the other. Seeing a stranger with a
little meal sack in his hand, Mr..
Stone accosted him and inquired
what he was doing.
ST am trainman," replied the
stranger r@tsI am going back to the
caboose.'' - ~
ttWell, where is your lanternq"
aid Mr.. Stone, train hands don't
walk around here in the dark. !"
Thereupon Mr.. Stone advanced IN
reach of the man and laid his hand
upon his shoulder, about to arrest
him, such being instructions rela-
tive to loafers at the depot. As soon
as Stones hand touched the stranger
he whipped out his pistol, a .45 cali
bre. magazine. from inside his vest
and began firing, :emptying the charm
ber,. five of. the shots taking effect
IN the body of Stone, one in the
bowels, three in the: aeshy part of
the leg and one in the lower lip.
So close was the range that Stone
did not have an opportunity to draw
SO, elinched his. antagonist and to-
gether they fell to the ground.
They were so lying when Police
MAN Walker crawled under from the
other side of the train, the stranger
struggling to loose himself. He was
almost free from the weakening hold
of Stone and was reloading his pis-
tol when Walker came upon him.
HDon't shoot" cried the stanger,
ST am already shot to pieces" which
of course was bluff to gain time,
for Stone had never drawn his pis-
tol. "I will surrender" said he.
"Give me your pistol them" said
Walker, Pretending to hand the pis-
Atol to the policeman, the stranger
fired at Walker, who quickly drew
and sot the man to his death, four Or
live shots taking effect. In the sack
aFhirh he held in his hand was n COM
J,lete yegghlan's outfit with nitro
slycerine, dynamite, keys, wreRches,
etc. He had $1,000 about him.

The Musical Baton.

When was the Dusical baton frs

tivals have provoked the query. I.
was surely at the philharmonic con
certs In 1870 when Spohr used one t.
the great astonishment Of the audi
ence. 1t was not until ten or twelve
years later. however. that the baton
came into general uss. A German con
ductor who welded one produced such
wonderful results with his orchestrs
that It was thought there must be
some magic power in the baton. and
1t consequently became popular with
conductors all over the country. Be
fore the advent Of the baton time wal

pianist.-London Chronicle.
