sheriff of McDuffie county to cooper
ate with the municipal authorities
and to summon all deputies neces-
sary to protect life and property.
1t is in this county that Thomson is

meantime had gone to his house to
get breakfast and when Sheriff Cor
ley approached he took up his shot
gun and fired, some of the shot strik-
ing the sheriff in the face and 100
others in the right forearm. This
is all that saved the sheriff's eye
sight, and probably his life. Bynum
left at once and his chase commenc-
ed.
The saving of Bynum from the
mob, his remarkable experience in
eluding the dogs and his confidence
that Mr.. Oswald would bring him
safely to Columbia is one of the
remarkable cases in a near-lynching.
Bynum will be kept there until
Sheriff Corley recovers and at the
next court will be taken back for
trial on the charge of assault and
battery with intent to kill. Sum
day at the penitentiary he was we'll
cared for and in a few days will be
entirely recovered, despite the priva-
ton.
Secretary Bethea asked Mr.. Os-
wald to present his claim for eNpens-
es. There was no reward offer d,
despite the efforts made by some of
the posse to make it appear that
there had been a sum of money set
aside by the authorities for tn" cap
ture of the negro. This, according
to Mr.. Broom. was put out to assist
in the capture by those bent on
lynching Mr.. Oswald was accom-
panied by his son, Mr.. Willie P.

Austin. Texas. June S0.-The state
health department has been giving
considerable time To the task OF con
vincing the people of the state that
flies and impure water are the cause
OF much OF the typhoid fever prevail
ing In various parts OF Texas and urg-
ing that houses be properly screened
to protect the food from the impurities
conveyed by flies. that the little in
sects be destroyed so far as possible
and that measures be taken to insure
pure drinking water. In pursuing this
campaign less attention than hereto
fore has been given to the usual cam
paign against the mosquito and the
people have. In consequence. become
somewhat careless. The department
has taken up the mosquito campaign
with energy and Is doing all possible
TO induce the people to protect them
selves from these pests by destroying
their breeding grounds.
State Health officer Brumby says
that many places in Mexico are kept
cleaner and in a more sanitary state
than some Texas points. yet Il is nee.
essary 10 maintain a quarantine
against Mexico where no fever exists
because the Texas cities will not pro
tect themselves and by destroying the
mosquitoes effectually prevent the
spread OF yellow fever, even though It
should be brought into the state.

HORSE CELEBRATES
WITH A RUNAWAY
Carl Mueller's Roadster Breaks Loose
at Ball Park When Rock Island
Ties the Score.

Cary Mgeller's thoroughbred driv-
ing horse celebrated the tying of the
score by Rock Island in the 1Oth~in-
ming yesterday by running away in
the ball park, smashing the rig and
narrowly missing two ladies who
were on their way out of the gate.
Later it turned up at the barn on
First avenue without strap on it's
back.
The animal had been left back of
the grandstand, the bride being re-
moved by Mr.. Mueller and a strap
used in tying it to post. When the
big noise broke loose it became
frightened and pulled loose, jumping
the small gate at the end of the
driveway back of the grandstand.
Here the runabout to which it was
hitched collided with a post and was
overturned, and the horse got free
from it. Two ladies on their way
out of the gate were lodged by the
| frightened animal, which cleared
| them by scant three feet. The
shafts of the buggy was broken and
the harness scattered along the way
but the horse escaped without in
jury.

Jack O'Brien, Though Greatly
0utweighed, Worries Jack
Johnson.
IN BOUT AT PHILADELPHIA
White Man Downed Twice, but APP
parently Finishes Under a Full
Head of Steam.

Philadelphia. May 20.-Jack Johnson
'pion here last night, as Jack O'Brien
not only held him to an even break,
but succeeded in wiping the golden
smile" Off the colored boxers visage
early in the contest. If verdict had
been possible Referee Michigan
would undoubtedly have called the az
fair draw.
Immensely outweighed and seeming
ly afraid of his big opponents right,
O'Brien put up a really good battle.
Neither man exerted himself to any
extent, and the throng which packed
the building was disappointed at the
quality of the work shown. Talk that
the affair was a ''frame-up' was cur
rent before the battle, but although
the men boxed slowly they showed no
signs of Encouragement.
Johnson's work was especially disap-
pointing. Both men depended almost
entirely upon their lefts, and Johnson
would wait for O'Brien TO lead Of
ten when the Philadelphia made a
pass DIT Hill lue UONeT
himself with blocking and slipping in
| to clinch.
O'Brien Is DOwned Twice.
1t was only in the first and fifth that
| the big man showed flash of form.
He knocked O'Brien Gown with stom-
ach punch in the opener, then tioored
him in the fifth with blow to the
head. O'Brien also went to his knees
| once from the force of a swing he tried
to land on Johnson's jaw.
| Long before the fifth, however, John
son had lost the smile which adorned
his countenance early in the bout. His
eXpanse of girth seemed to trouble
him, as. although beautifully muscled,
as always, about the shoulders, he had
a distinct tendency to develop stom-
ach which was obtrusive, to say the
least. O'Brien's singing punches to
the face took off his smile and made
him look serious at several stages.
