ATTACHED BY PORPOIsE.
Boys Have an Exciting EncountGz
With q Big Fish.

The Charleston Post sayg Toaa,
Bolger and Lewis Slender had an.
exciting experience Wednesday, norm
Ing. The lads had been marsh hen
hunting in small batteau and were
returning to the city. In the mid
die Of the river a six and q half
foot porpolse showed himself some
distance ahead Of the boat. The
fish have very peaceful reputation,
but as is the case with many o man.
the fighting properties can be finally
aroused and this is what happened
when one of the boys took shot
at the porpoise.
Stung by the shot, the fish raised
his head just high enough to get
his bearings and then he made foy
the boys in the boat. The fish gave
several hard slaps at the boat, with
his fin and i'd all but actually get
into the boat after the boys. The
young men saw their predicament
and they knew now that it was a
eight for the finish. fortunately
there was one shell left, and it was
necessary to put the shot in the
right place. This was done just
under the right fin in one Of the
slaps that the porpoise made, and
then the fish lay quiet.

NEGRO PREACHER WANTED.
Greenwood Sheriff Looking for One
on Charge of Fraud.

A Greenwood dispatch says a ne
gro preacher, giving the name Of
William Mckinney, Is wanted there
by officials and five well known ne
groes on a rather serious charge
Of cheating and defrauding. Nc
Kinney went to Greenwood several
weeks ago and represented himself
to a number Of negroes as Govern
ment contractor, who had just fin
lshed a large job somewhere at
profit to himself of $4,000. He
liked Greenwood, he said, and pro-
posed to get up a big negro store
on the cooperative plan. He wanted
most of the stock himself but he
proposed to the five we'll known
colcred men above referred to, to
let them in on the ground floor and
graclously received from their anx-
ious hands twenty-five dollars each
towards organization expenses.
Mckinney has gone and the duped
ones want to see Mckinney in jail
One Of the five has been to Lancas-
ter, where Mckinney hailed from,
and reports that he found wife
and child, deserted. there, and heard
Mckinney had another wife in Sum
ter. He also reported that MChin-
ney duped a number OF old negroes
in and around Lancaster several
years ago by representing himself
as Government agent who had the
disposal OF large sum OF money
in the national treasury for former
slaves. He collected dollar each
and skipped.
He is described as being s. years
old, height five feet. ten; weigh;
about 200 pounds, chocolate color,
mustache. two upper teeth gold
crowned; hair slightly tinged with
gray; wore a square cut, black coat
and light trousers; had double case
gold watch and pearl handle knife,
which he displayed frequently.

NEGRO BURNED ALIVE
THE AWFUL WORK OF AN EN-
RACED MOB OVER IN Ga.
A Coiored Preacher Who Fatally
Shot White Man is Cremated
With LightWood.

A dispatch from Cochran, Ga,
tells Of the awful work Of mob
Of enraged citizens of that section.
John Howard, a negro preacher, who
shot and fatally injured Will D.
Booth, two miles from Cochran late
Wednesday afternoon was captured
by a mob of enraged citizens five
miles from Cochran Wednesday night
at 10 o'clock and burned at a stake,
more than o carload Of lightwood,
it Is stated, being heaped about the
body.
Booth is q well known business
men Of Hawkinsville and was en-
route to Cochran in an automobile
when the shooting occurred. He
drove up behind Harvard, who was
in front Of him in a wagon.
Harvard charged that Booths ma
chine frightened his mule. He drew
a pistol after few words and fired
upon Booth, three shots taking ef-
feet. Booth returned the fire and
1t was learned after the negro was
captured that he carried two bullets,
but neither struck vital spots and
he easily made his escape.
He was found in barn three
miles from the place where the shoot
ing occurred.
Booth was carried to Cochran i'm
mediately after the shooting. Sur
geons gave out the statement that
there was little hope for his re-
covery. He has q wife and several
children.
Officers from Hawkinsville in au-
tomobiles and carrying track hounds
went Immediately to the scene of
the shooting. but q party of enrag-
ed citizens was quickly formed and
trailed the negro on horseback to
his hiding place.
He showed fight, but was suffer
Ing SO severely from the effects OF
his Injuries until he could offer
but little resistance. He freely ad-
mitted the shooting and stated it
justified his action by the fact that
Booths automobile frightened his
mules.
Harvard was given an opportuni-
ty to pray, after which he was Sc
curely bound with chains to an i'm
proylsed stake. The fuel was piled
high above his head and the torch
applied. The roaring of the flames
prevented sound being audible, If any
escaped the mans lips.

MAY MEAN WAR
wAR SHIPS AND MARINES SENT
TO THE STORM CENTRE.
The Rear Admiral Placed in Com
uand, Will Have Enough Men to
Outpoint Zelaya's Army.

~
Naval forces of the United States
are being moved forward to both
coasts OF Central America for the
purpose OF protecting American life
and property in Nicaragua by force
OF arms, il the necessity arises.
With the departure late Thursday
from Philadelphia of the troopship
Prairie. with zoe marines aboard
for the isthmus of Panama, and If
1t be so decreed, for Nicaragua, and
with the Sailing from Magdalena
bay of the protected cruiser Albany
and the gunboat Yorktown for Cor
into on the Pacific coast OF Nicara-
qua, toe war like activity Of the
navy department was becoming man
iflest on both oceans that wash the
Nicaragua shores.
Besides. the cruiser Des Moines
and Tacoma and the gunboat Mariet.
Ia are lying OF Port Limon, Costa
Rica. ready for any call upon them
and the guns of the little gunboat
Vicksburg are pointed towards the
customs house and town of Corinto.
The gunboat Princeton is endeavor-
ing to make her way from the Brem-
erton navy yard, Washington, to Cor
into also.
In addition the transport Buffalo,
according to- what Is said to be the
plan Of the officials responsible, will
sail from Panama for Corinto, with
probably as many as 1,199 marines
aboard, soon after the Praire, which
left Philadelphia a few days ago,
with about 100 marines, arrives ct
Colon
On the Albany are about $50 blue
jackets and On the Vicksburg, York
town and Princeton, about $50 each.
These. together with the marines,
would make an army equal to any
organization reported to be serving
under Zelaya.
At the same time. the United
States will have formidable force
within striking distance of the At
lantic coast In case of danger to
American lives or property in that
section of Nicaragua.
At Port Limon. Costa Rica, are
anchored the cruisers Des Moines
and Tacoma. each with ESQ men
aboard. and the gunboat Marietta,
with 150 men. ~. 81

COOK SAW THE POLE.
Or Else How Did He Know Water
Surrounded It?

Maurice Connel, observer at the
weather bureau at San Jose. Cal,
and the survivor Of the Greely polar
expedition, defends DR.. Frederick A.
Cook from the recent attack Of Wal
ter Wellman. Mr.. Connell declared:
"Wellman tells us that he could
manufacture a latitude observation
at any time. Certainly that is not
very convincing. But Cook could
not well manufacture time obser-
yation or a longitude observation,
neither could he manufacture the
magnetic variations nor above all
could he state whether the north
pole was on land or sea unless he
had been there"
If anything Is needed to affirm
Cooks claim that he reached the
pole. Peary's narrative of his jour
ney confirms it.

member OF the "Select" for the edi-
fication Of a party OF guests also

What makes the thing even more dis

Is from Cincinnati.
Like the other firms from whom

therefore, represented in the money
