cane under his arm and in turning
round in the crowd, the stick acciden-
tally came in contact with Jim Gavin

companion. whereupon Gavin made ar
insulting remark to Mr.. Porter, who
promptly struck him with the cane
Gavin quickly drew a revolver and mr.
ed three shots in rapid succession al
Mr.. Porter and then ran. The negro
was chased for a considerable distance
but made good his escape. Fortunate
ly, all the shots went wild. -. The

CHESTER.
Lantern, April 20: Mr.. j. G. L. White,
the game warden for Chester county,
on Saturday arrested party OF two
white men and six negroes near Neal
Shoals on the charge Of violating the
fish laws on two charges, first, fishing
in close season and second, fishing
within 80 yards Of dam. They were
released on their own recognizance to
appear before a magistrate for trial,
probably tomorrow. Mr.. White will
enforce the law. 1t is probably not
known that no fishing Is allowed be-
tween Thursday evening at sun down
and Monday morning, but such Is the
case, and also that no fishing Is allow
ed within 80 yards Of dam. .EV-
ery seat was taken and standing room
was at a premium at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday night, so eager were
the people to hear the sermon OF the
Rev. Mr.. Black. The people were
treated to a strong and forcible SER
mon from the text What shall I do
with Christi" Basing his remarks on
the story Of the trial and crucifixion
of Jesus, Mr.. Black drew some plain
and pointed lessons for the people OF
the present day and showed them that
It was just as vital and important for
the people now to decide as 1t was for
PLATE and the people Of that day.
Preaching continues at the Presbyte-
rian church, the morning services at
10 o'clock and the evening services at
s o'clock. Much good is being accom-
plished by the services. .....Eli Lip
sey, colored, was before Magistrate
Mcclure this morning charged with
shooting an eagle and was fined $3.50.
The case was worked up by Game
Warden ]. G. L. White. Lipsey shot
the eagle Saturday near the pumping
station on Sandy river. 1t Is a migra-
tory bird and under the law can't be
shot in this state. It's wing was brok-
en-, but the bird Is still alive. Judge
Mcclure commanded Lipsey to take the
bird and care for it until 1t gets well
and then turn 1t over to Mr.. White
who will liberate Upon re-
quest from the sheriffs Of Richland and
Fairfield counties, Policeman Williams
on Saturday picked up on the streets
