NAN KILLED NEAR ROCK HILL
Ely Russell Shoots an Intruder at an
Early Morning Hour.

Rock Hill, October 2S.--The coro-
ners jury brought in verdict ex,
onerating Ely Russell for the killing
of man this morning at 3 o'clock,
The dead man was named Thompson
and lived at Fort Mill. He was sub
ject to temporary fits of insanity
and it is understood that he had
wandered away from home yesterday
in one of them.
The shooting occurred on the back
porch of the Russell home, six miles
from Rock HILL Thompson rang the
farm bell a couple Of strokes and at
first aroused only an aunt of the
young man, who did the shooting.
She raised the window and asked
who was there. Thompson asked if
DR.. Kirkpatrick lived there. The
lady said "No," and closed the win
dow. In a few moments Thompson
again rang the bell, arousing the
family.
Young Russell, in his night
clothes, ran out on the porch and
was met by Thompson, who seized
him in the collar. Russell, who is a
small man called upon his assailant to
desist, and when he failed to do so
shot him in the side. This failed to
loosen the mans hold and Russell
shot again, this shot striking the
heart and causing almost instant
death.

TELLS OF LOVERS DEATH.
Georgia Girl Describes Killing OF
Sweetheart by Her Father.

McRae, Ca, October 2S.-Seven-
teen-year-old Elizabeth Miller told on
the stand to-day, in the trial of her
father, w. A. Miller, for the murder
of her sweetheart with Thomas
Poole, the story of the killing and
admitted as she wept bitterly that
her relation with the young man was
improper. She was the only eye
witness to the tragedy. She with
held nothing in her pitiful story, but
made, as she declared, clean breast
of it all.
She stated that she had carried on
a secret correspondence with young
Poole, and on several occasions had
met him clandestinely.
Poole was killed June 1, this year,
five miles from this place, in the pub
lie road. Miller and his daughter,
in a buggy, met Poole driving in the
opposite direction. Miller, it is said,
fred twice at Poole with shotgun,
killing him instantly. Miller admits
the killing but declares that he was
justified.
The Court room was crowded to-
day, when the girl, who it is said,
was the cause of the killing, took
the stand and told her sordid story.
The case is expected to consume all
of tomorrow.

LYNCHERS AT THE CAPITAL.
An Attempt to Take Prisoner from
the Police.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-The at
tempt of mob of Maryland farmers
to take a negro accused Of attacking
a young white girl and lynch him
within the very shadow of the statute
of liberty on the national capitol was
frustrated by the Washington police
Sunday morning.
From o'clock until after mid
night a mounted parole rode around
the wall of the ninth precinct police
station holding back the crowd OF
angry farmers who were armed with
shotguns, bludgeons. pitchforks and
revolvers. Lieut.. Falvey, of the po-
lice department, finally persuaded
the farmers to return to their homes
in Prince George county, Maryland.
He toold them that the negro would
be turned over to them to-day. This
has not been done.
The negro, Walter Ford, twenty
six years old, the nephew of a man
once accused of murder in Wash
ington, admitted his attack. The
news that a negro had attacked Flor
ence, the pretty daughter of Clinton
Harvey, a farmer of Glendale, Md,
was the cue for the gathering of the
clans of Prince George County, and
it was not long before the country
was being beaten for the fugitive.
The farmers surmised that the ne
gro would start for Washington. Two
hours after the attempted crime
mounted policemen had captured the
negro, who was making his way to
Washington along the railroad
tracks. The mob of farmers had
trailed him in.
After the negro had been landed
in cell at the ninth precinct station
word was sent to Glendale and Har-
vey, accompanied by his daughter
and physician, came to Washing
ton. The girl confronted the negro,
but before she had accused him the
negro had admitted his attack. He
said that he only intended to rob
her.

DaIy Boozer Held Guiltless.

Lexington, Oct 31.-An inquest
was held this morning by Coroner B.
D. Clarke over the body of Ross Booz-
er, the young whittier farmer, who was
killed by his brother DAILY Boozer, at
the formers home ten miles from
Lexington, late yesterday afternoon.
The jury returned verdict of accl-
dental killing.
There was only two witnesses
sworn at the inquest, DAILY Boozer,
who did the shooting and Mrs. Josie
Boozer, wife of the unfortunate man
that was killed. Each swore that the
killing was an accident. 1t seems
from their testimony that Ross Booz-
er was lying on the floor picking pea
nuts when he was shot. DAILY Boozer
was trying to extricate shell from an
old single-barrel breechloader and at
tempted to breech it, when it was
suddenly discharged. The entire load
took effect in the mouth, passing
downward through the heart, and
death was instantaneous.
Ross Boozer was buried this after
noon at st. Thomas church, in the
Dutch Fork. He leaves a wife but
no children.

sippi Missing.

New Orleans, La, October 2S.-A
special from Meridian, Miss, says w
H. Palmer, Kemper county farmer
who came to Meridian to-day report
ed that four negroes had probably
been lynched in Kemper county, Mis-
sissippi, last Tuesday, as a result OF
the murder of peddler named Kahn
Kahn's head was severed from his
body with an axe, and after his mon
ey and goods were stolen the body
was placed in his cart and the horse
started down the road, White farm
ers, who found the horse, cart, and
the body also discovered some of the
stolen goods in a negro cabin. Four
negroes were charged with the crime,
and one is said to have confessed,
duplicating the other three. Palmer
declares all four negroes have disap-
peared.

Epidemic Strikes School.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 28.-Forty stu
dents of the Georgia Military Acade'
roy near this city were rushed to the
city to-day, suffering from an illness
which it is said, has attacked the
school in epidemic form. They were
distributed among several hospitals
The nature of their illness has not
been learned.
Information concerning the illness
of the cadets is refused by the col
lege authorities and the hospitals
President Woodward, in reply to a re-
quest for information concerning the
reported epidemic, said:
"Have no statement for publica-
ton at present. The parents of the
boys have been advised of their ILL
ness by telegraph and telephone, and
that is sufficient. | hope the news
papers will publish nothing concern
