Denies the Charge.

The young man, Alex. Jennings,
who was arrested, charged with SELL
ing whiskey in violation of law, de-
MES that he was guilty of any such
thing. He says he is member of
the Edisto Social Club, and that the
party for whom he got the whiskey
asked him to get it for him, and hav-
ing some whiskey in his club locker,
he did not think it was any harm to
let him have a little whiskey to
quench his thirst. Mr.. Jennings is
young man Of good family and we
hope he will be able to make it clear
that he did not violate any law.-Or-

TWO HURT IN WRECK.
Three Freight Cars were Smashed
Near JoneSville.

Union, August 20.-A serious
wreck occurred two miles north Of
Jonesville about $3.50 o'clock this
morning, resulting in three freight
cars being smashed, the track torn up
for quite distance, and two negroes
badly hurt, one having to have his
leg amputated.
The train was freight No 81, in
charge of Conductor Gelston and En-
gineer Brownlee, and was south
bound for Columbia. When nearing
Jonesville and when the train was
going at a moderate rate of speed,
the accident occurred. Will Jeter, a
negro from Carlisle, who was work.
ing his way from Pacolet back to his
home, was caught in the wreck and
had his leg so badly crushed that af-
ter being taken to Jonesville it was
found necessary to amputate it, and
this was done by Drs. Southard.
Chambers, Douglass and Hames. A
negro named Gillian was also badly
bruised about the head, but was not
seriously injured. They were both
taken to Jonesville for attention and
left on No. IA for their homes in San
tue and Carlisle.
On account of the wreck the main
line was blocked for four or five
hours, delaying trains Nos. and IA.

WOMAN KILLED FOR MONEY.
Body of Maiden Lady Found with
Skull Crushed.

Broxton, Ca, August 19.-News
has just reached here of the murder
of Miss Matte Graham, which occur
red some time during last night near
her home, two miles north of Hokes-
boro, in Coffee county. The woman
was dragged to branch half mile
from her house, where evidences of a
desperate struggle ensued. The
body was beaten and the skull crush
ed.
The object Of the murder was evil
dently robbery, as she was rich wo-
man. An autopsy, however, may re-
veal evidence of a more serious
crime. She was prominent and high
ly commented.
Miss Graham was one of two
maiden sisters who occupied their
home alone. The other sister was
away from home at the time of the
murder and there is no clue to the
perpetrators of the deed.
Sheriff Dave Ricketson was at
once notified and, in company with
the coroner, went to the scene of the
crime

JEALOUSY CAUSES MURDER.
Georgia Farm Hand Kills Woman He
AdOres.

Douglas, Ca, August 20:-De-
claring that he had rather see her
dead than married to another, Will
liam Mcleod, farm hand, to-day
confessed to Sheriff Ricketson that
he murdered Miss Matte Graham, a
wealthy and refined young woman,
whose body was yesterday discovered
in a swamp near her home at Hokes-
boro, Coffee county.
Going into every detail, his state
ment is that he left his work and
went to the house before dinner.
Not seeing her he asked for Miss
Matte and being informed that she
had gone to her field for a melon, he
followed and found her.
Both started back towards the
house side by side. Coming to a
branch near the house, he let her
precede him. When at her back he
caught her by the left arm and cut
one side of her throat
She turned and looked him in the
face and exclaimed: Lord have
mercy" the only word she ever
spoke after the attack. Then he fin
ished cutting her throat, and cut her
in the side as she fell.
He stamped her in the face, wash
ed the blood from his knife, face and
overalls and when dry went to the
house and ate dinner. His only mo-
tive for his crime was that he had
rather see her dead than to see her
marry Byrd Mobley.
While he loved her, he had never
told her and if she was now alive no
motive could induce him to harm
her. His only fear appears to be OF
being lynched. He does not show
any remorse.

DIES FROM LOCKJAW.
Charleston Gambler Dies as Result of
Wounds Received in Fight.

Wounds Received in Fight.
Charleston, August 22.-The in
quest was held to-day over the body
of J. C.. Jaudon, policy king and
notorious among the sporting frater-
nifty of Charleston, who died last
night of tetanus, resulting from a
pistol wound inflicted by William
Byrnes in an alteration at the Palace
cafe a couple of weeks ago.
The verdict of the jury placed the
blame for the mans death upon
Byrns, but declared the shooting to
have been justifable in defense of
Byrns' life.
Byrns was accordingly admitted to
bond by the coroner in the sum of
$500. Byrns was not present at the
inquest, being still in the Riverside
infrmary under treatment for
bruises and cuts which he received
in the mix-up with Jaudon and the
latter's friends.
Several police officers, Clerk Stell-
ings, of the establishment, Wallace
and ]. B. Harley and others testified
at the inquest, which took much the
form of trial with the examination
of the witnesses by Attorney George
Momeier, who appeared for defend
ant.
The evidence showed, as already
stated, that the trouble arose be-
tween Jaudon and Byrnes through
the latter's resenting vile epithet
which Jaudon applied to Mr.. John P.
Grace, who is a relative of Byrns.
An issue was made as to how many
pistols were brought into play. The
two Harleys claimed that the pistol
which they passed from one to anoth-
er and which was used to prevent
Stelling from assisting Byrns, was
Byrns' weapon, while the witnesses
for the defendant claimed that the
Harleys produced pistol of their
own.
Wallace Harley admitted that he
used the heel of his shoe in forcing
Byrns to let go the hold on his pis-
tol.
The ante-mortem statement of
Jaudon, taken under difficulties, was
read, in which Jaudon told of the
cause of the trouble and admitted
that he did strike Byrns with glass
bottle but said that Byrns threw GUS
pidors at him.
The autopsy of DR.. W. H. Johnson
established tetanus as the cause of
death.
The death of Jaudon has renewed
public interest and comment in the
affair in which two of the widest
members of the sporting fraternity
of Charleston were concerned.
Jaudon did not measure we'll with
the sporting fraternity and his asso-
Citations and career had nothing to
commend him to the public. Until
few days ago, when evidences of te-
tanus developed, following his re-
fusal to permit the amputation Of the
arm, Jaudon was considered to have
been less badly used up than Byrns,
and if the wounded man had consent
ed to allow the amputation of the
arm, he would probably have recov-
cred.

RATTLESNAKE ISLAND.
Lake Winnepesaukee's Snakes All
Concentrated in One Spot.


One of those strange freets of an
imal and reptile distribution that
puzzle naturalists is found on Rattle
snake Island, in Lake Winnipesau-
kee, n. H. The lake contains 81 is
lands of all sizes, from few square
feet to hundreds of acres, but only Oh
Rattlesnake is there to be found aa%-
thing more alarming than the haril.-
less and pretty garter snake. Tae
country surrounding the lake is
mountainous and we'll wooded, but it
is free from snakes. Rattlesnake Is
land has monopoly of rattlers.
The island is one of the largest in
the lake, as we'll as the most pictur-
esque. It's name forbids trespass,
and it remains to-day as virgin as
when the Indians gave the lake it's
musical name.
Just why the snakes should have
chosen this particular island for their
abode is mystery, although an event
of few years ago made it clear how
they might have reached it. Rattle
snake Island is some five miles from
the mainland and several hundred
yards from any other island. Some
years ago a fisherman, bolder than
his fellows, landed on the island and
there cooked his lunch.
Perhaps he was bit nervous for
he forgot to put out his fire, and the
wind famed it into blaze. A large
part of the island was burned over,
and during the next few days many
rattlesnakes were found on the main
land and the neighboring islands.
Within week, however, the snakes
were gone from the mainland, and
not one snake of venomous kind
has been found outside of Rattle
snake Island since then.
The snakes confne themselves to
the rocky cliffs that form the uplands
of the island, and are seldom seen.
One doubling Thomas who reasoned
that there couldn't be any snakes on
the island because he had never seen
any went ashore there one day and
tramped about in his bare feet. AS
luck would have it, he never saw
snake. The barefooted explorer near
ly tainted the next day when a friend
armed with a shotgun explored the
place and came back with a fve-foot
rattler.
This led to the organization of
hunting party. The hunters wore
high boots and looked the ground
over carefully before taking a step.
They found snakes in abundance, and
the numbers of the rattlers got on
their nerves. After killing five un-
usually large snakes the party chose
large fiat rock near the waters
edge and we'll out of the snakes ha-
bitat for resting place.
One Of the hunters is a professor
in a New York college. He doesn't
teach natural history, and his knowl
edge of outdoor life is not very ex-
tensive. AS he sat munching sand
wich a cicada set up it's shrill cry.
Still holding firmly to the sand
wich, the professor gave wild leap
that landed him in the lake. The
cold water and the laughter of his
friends restored his reasoning facul-
ties, but he is still of the opinion
that all the snakeskins in creation
would not tempt him to visit Rattle
snake Island again.
The beauty of the island has
caused many people to covet it as the
site for a summer home, and the sug-
gestion has been made to import
herd of hogs to exterminate the
snakes.

TO TRY ALLEGED GRAFTERS
DJSPENSARY CASES WILL COME
UP IN RICHLAND.
Number Under Indictment Will be
Tried-Much Interest in the
Situation.

The trial of a number of the ex-
officials and. others employed at the
old State dispensary and charged
with graft as a result will take place
next month, if the plans of Attorney
General Lyon are not sidetracked in
some way.
This is practically an official state
ment given the attorneys represent
ing some of those now under indict-
ment. Judge Memminger will pre-
side at the coming term.
There are now a number under in
dictment, all being out on bond, but
it has not yet been definitely decided
which of the cases will be taken up.
However, Attorney General Lyon
wishes to clear the docket as rapidly
as possible and he will consult with
Solicitor Cobb as to the disposal OF
the "jail cases." 1t is probable that
the first week will dispose of these
and the officials will be able to take
up the dispensary trials.
Among those now under indict-
ment are: w. o. Tatum, John Black,
John Bell Towill, l.. W. Boykin, Jos.
B. Wylie, J. w. Rawlinson, W. A.
Byers, J. S. Farnum and Norton A.
Goodman. Warrants were sworn out
for these men at various times, fol-
lowing the investigation of the legis-
lative committee and the work of the
State dispensary commission, after
evidence adduced by those interested
in the investigation.
There is also an order for an in
dictment of j. D. Allsbrook, form
er dispenser at Manning, who testi-
fed before the legislative committee
and whose arrest was afterwards Or
dered for perjury. Allsbrook will be
remembered generally because of his
remark, Whose bread l eat his song
I sing
There will be a number of attor-
neys on both sides in these cases and
the testimony will be read with in
terest throughout the country, be-
cause of the prominence given the in
vestigation and the results that fol-
I lowed the death of the State dispen-
sary and the adoption of the local op-
ton plan and, later, prohibition in
many counties.
In the testimony produced by the
State or the defendants some of the
most prominent men in the country
will probably be involved. From a
legal standpoint it is expected that
there will be a battle from the start,
but the outcome in the lower court
probably rests with the jurors of
Richland.
The fall term of the court of gen.
eral sessions will convene on Monday,
September 6.-Columbia State.

age and had been sick since eighteen.
His diploma from the High School
reached him at.a Sanitarium where he
had gone only dew weeks previously.
1t was hoped by parents and friends
that he would have acollege education,
but instead he graduated in that school
of suffering to which God had. ap-
pointed him. He with his mother, who
gave her strength and life to him for
nearly five years, went to Boulder in
the fall of 1906. He came with the
family to the Western Slope last
November. The struggle with disease
was not all the time an apparently
losing one. The greater portion of the
time since his coming here he was able
to walk about the place and when he
could do so he manifested keen inter-
est in the work in progress and in his
fine flock of chickens. He never
doubted the wisdom of the coming to
Colorado. He realized that on this
slope he had every advantage in the
battle with disease that a perfect
climate could afford him. He was born
in Algona, Iowa, May 6, 1886.
Richard had the warm admiration of
all who knew him. Hepossessed those
qualities of mind and of heart which
unconsciously sometimes, but surely
win recognition. He was ever true to
the highest ideals of duty and service.
He was incapable of a dishonorable
action. He exemplified at its best that
which we call Christian manhood.
The funeral was held Monday morn
ing at 9 O'Clock, Rev. Austin of the
Methodist church conducting the brief
service. The Cory choir rendered ap-
propriate selections. The burial was
in the Cory cemetery.

August he was able to be up and to

a marvellous hold upon life, and his

was not hopeless until delerium inter

wasted. All of Friday night was spent
in recitafs of visions of blood, and when
the dawn came hope for the anxious
watchers had fled. A braver fight for
life has seldom been made, yet he was
not afraid of death which he met with
full realization of its presence. He was
