BATTLE TO DEATH WITH yEGGs.
Cracksman Dead, Patrolman Will
Probably Die of Wounds.

Laurens, Jan. 2S.-Few tragedies
have so shocked the people of this
community as the results OF a deadly
encounter in the early hours this
morning between Patrolman McDuf-
fle Stone and W. Frank Walker and
an unknown burglar, whose outfiet
of tools indicate that he was a safe
cracker.
This morning the unknown yegg-
man lies dead at the city station
house and Patrolman Stone Is at
the point of death, with five pistol
wounds in his body. The story Of
the tragedy as learned from Mr..
Walker and Mr.. Stone, who is still
conscious, is that in the course Of
their nightly rounds the two police
men met the through freight from
Spartanburg, which arrived here at
2.15 o'clock, as Is the custom. Upon
reaching the depot Mr.. Stone walked
down one side Of the train OF cars
and Mr.. Walker down the other.
Seeing stranger, with little meal
sack in his hand, Mr.. Stone accosted
him and inquired what he was doing.
81 am a trainman," replied the
stranger.
Where are you going" said Mr..
Stone.
81 am going back to the caboose,"
again replied the unknown.
"Well, where is your lantern,"
said 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 his instructions rel
ative to loafers at the depot. AS
soon as Stones hand touched the
stranger he whipped out his pistol,
As calibre, magazine, from inside
his vest and began firing, emptying
the chamber, five OF the shots TAX
ing effect in the body of Stone, one
in the bowels, three in the heshy
part Of the leg and one in the lower
lip. SO close was the range that
Stone did not have an opportunity to
draw his gun, so clinched his antag-
onist and together 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 10 loose himself. He was
almost free from the weakening
hold Of Stone, and was relOading his
pistol when Walker came upon him.
Don't shoot" cried the stranger,
Il am already shot to pieces" which
Of course was a bluff to gain time,
for Stone had never drawn his pistol
Il will surrender" said he.
"Give me your pistol then" said
Walker. Pretending to hand the
| pistol to the policeman the stranger
| fired at Walker, who quickly drew
! his gun and shot the man to his
! death, four Of the five shots taking
effect. Policeman Walker then hur-
! ried TO the station house, summoned
| the physicians, and notified Chief
Bagwell. The stranger lived about
three-quarters of an hour after be-
ing carried to the police station, but
he could not be made to talk in
spite of the numerous efforts to as
certain his identity. About his per-
son were found some letters, but in
them there is nothing of a clue. In
the sack which he held in his hand

One of the train hands states that
there were two men down at the sta
ton and that one escaped In the
melee. Mr.. Walker says, however,
that he saw only the one. G. H.
Roper, cashier of the Enterprise
Bank, states that he Is satisfied that
the dead man is the man who came
in his bank yesterday and inquired
about bill of lading-this as pre-
text to take in the surroundings pre-
paratory to a safe-blowing, which
was doubtless planned for last night.
The men evidently did not come in
on the Spartanburg freight, as some
seem to think but were here all day
yesterday. There Is no doubt but
that they were safe-crackers, judg-
ing from the nature Of their outfit.
The city authorities have already no.
tilted Governor Ansel of the situa-
tion and solicited advice regarding
the apprehension of the escaped
yeggman. All the neighboring towns
have also been put on notice to look
out for him.
The condition Of Mr.. Stone Is all
but hopeless, although there is but
one serious wound, that through the
bowels. Yet from the fact that he
has lived this long there is derived
some hope in that if any Of the larger
intestines had been punctured he
would have already died of internal
hemorrhage.
This morning Photographer Nc
Cord took picture of the dead man,
which may aid in Identifying him. A
brief description is as follows.

Later Details.
Instead of $50 being found in the
pocket of the dead yeggman the
amount was $1,000. In addition to
this there were parts of the Augusta
Chronicle and the Columbia State of
January 26th. After a thorough
search through these papers, family

The State-widers.

The Committee on Resolutions al
Nashville this week declared unequivo,
cably for the enforcement of the temper.
ance laws, the maintenance and sup
port of the general and primary election
laws. The plan of organization con-
templates a general committee, COM
posed of three members from each Con-
gressional District.
The members from the Ninth District
are Ernest Rice, Sid Clark and Joe Hol-
brook.
The State-widers are simply organic
ing for campaign in the interest of
and furtherance of temperance work
and laws To declare that these men are
not good Prohibitionists or not as good
Prohis as those who fought the State
wide movement is absurd, and all the
gymnasts of English ridicule cannot
otherwise convince a sane mind. Local
option has great many believers and
supporters, but local option town with
election disturbances every two or four
years is more to be pitied than all the
saloon towns in the world. If State
wide Prohibition was right in 1887 it is
right now.
The Statewide laws need protection
and that is what these State-widers are
trying to do. The whiskey interestsrof
Memphis and Nashville are continually
publishing to the world that whiskey
can be bought as openly and boldly in
those cities as before the Statewide laws
were passed, and it is to counteract this
influence that the State-widers are or
gained. 1t is to enforce the laws that
the State-widers are organizing, and
there cannot be any reasonable objection
to this by a genuine Prohibitionist.

Among the visiting brethren were
Rev. G. M. Savage, Jackson; Rev. 7.
F. Moore, of the Baptist Flag, Fulton;
w. D. Hudgins, State Sunday School
Secretary, and DR.. w. G. Golden, State
Secretary of Missions, Nashville. Also

Peru's LimftIess Resources.

1t is not far from the truth to say that
any fruit or grain that will grow any
where in the world, will also thrive in
some part of Peru, or that any metal
with which mountain valleys enrich
mankind, may also be mined within the
limits of this remarkable country. Gold.
silver, copper, lead, mercury and bis
muth, coal, sugar, cotton, coffee, cocoa,
cola, rubber fruits of all kinds, as well
as cereals-one might as we'll copy the
table of contents of a nlineralogy and a
botany in an endeavor to enumerate the
products possible in Peru. And yet,
nature, so bountiful on the one hand, is
more difficult than in less favored re-
gions. Here are none of those limitless
plains of Argentina from which wealth
may be scooped up like fully risen
cream. Nature, indeed, has bestowed
limitless resources upon Peru: she has
provided the raw materials in album
dance; but nowhere has she created
conditions which make greater demands
on the energy, persistence, resourceful-
ness and industry of the man who would
turn these raw materials into useful
products.
Peru is by nature divided into three
distinct sections. The coast strip lying
between the Andean range and the
ocean has its distinct characteristics. In
this part of Peru it practically never
rains During a forenoon in Lima,
heavy clouds may line the horizon.
They gradually overcast the entire sky
so that the visitor from a foreign coun-
try will expect downpour without fail;
and yet inevitably these clouds are car
ried off toward the mountains, without
as much as dropping a sprinkle upon
the dry lands below. So there are mil
lions of acres of agricultural land com
posed of the most fertile soils. which,
the absence of water, lie bar
ren and waste, and cannot be utilized
until expensive systems of irrigation
have been constructed. Then. indeed.
marvellous returns may be expected.
The second region is that of the An
dean Plateaus, the high table lands ly-.l
ing between the main parallel ranges of |
the Andes and broken up by transverse
chains. 1t is here that eli |
matte conditions approach those of the |
northern part of the United States and |
Of Canada, and here similar agricultural |
products are raised. Here too, the alb.
sence of regular precipitation is a great |
drawback, so that the wealth of the |
country cannot be developed without |
assistance by irrigation. But the more |
'trlKlng wealth OF this region lies in it's |
mines; mines that for centuries were the |
marvel of the world in their apparently
nexhaustible supply of precious ores.
Yet, through for three centuries the
Spanish masters enriched themselves
rom the products of these mines, which
lad already from time immemorial been
worked under the Incas and their pre-
lecessors, all these workings are mere
y superficial-Paul S. Reinsch in the
World Today.
