Fruit Outlook Is Good.

Walla Walla.-District Fruit In
spector G. L. Whitney, whose terri
tory includes Walla Walla, Columbia
and Garfield conties, returned yester-
day from a trip through this region
and reports fruit in an excellent con-

Mr.. Whitney said:
$50 far there has been no injury
of any kind to the fruit and if no kill
ing frosts appear, there will be a rec
ord breaking yield in the three coun-
ties which embraces my field. Many

May Secure Armory.

DIR. Smith suggested that the COM

to secure an armory. In this connec-
ton Adjutant General FINER was
quoted as declaring that prospects for
Pendleton armory next year are
bright provided the company is plac-
ed upon a permanent footing. Under
the law the state pays for half the
cost of armories and the towns and
counties where the structures are To-
Gated meet the remainder of the ex-

1t was also urged last night that an
armory would be highly valuable for

CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.

Girl Returns Home.

! Kingstree, March pa. ". Phelps
q, travelling salesman for the Inter.
! national Harvester Company, lies
seriously i'll at the Kellahal Hotel
in this town, while Sheriff Graham
holds a warrant of arrest, charging
him with bigamy, and which will be
served as soon as Phelps is sufficient
ly recovered to be removed to the
jail.
Three marriages were performed
here on Easter day, one of which
was that Of A. ". Phelps to the
daughter Of a respectable farmer,
living few miles from Kingstree.
The couple took the train at 9:l2 on
Sunday night, going to Lanes, and
spent the night there. On Monday
they came back to Kingstree, Phelps
having suffered a slight stroke Of
paralysis, and put up at the hotel.
Meanwhile the Rev. Mr.. Hurt, of the
Baptist church, who had performed
the ceremony and to whose congre-
cation the young lady belonged, re-
ceived information that Phelps was

not legally entitled to contract ;
marriage, as he, then had wife liv
ing In North Carolina. Mr.. Hur
promptly began an investigation
which uncovered facts sufficient tt
warrant him in going to Phelps anc
charging him with having practiced
gross fraud, both on the minister
and the innocent girl. Phelps ad~
mitted that he had been married
but was divorced at Greensboro, N.
c. When the minister, however, Of
fered to wire the clerk of court at
Greensboro for proof of this state
ment, Phelps objected, saying the
clerk Of court might be dead and
please to wait until he was recovered
from his attack, when he would
straighten the matter.
Investigation further disclosed the
fact that Phelps had told other par
ties here that he was married. These
facts unfortunately only came to
knowledge after the ceremony had
been performed on Monday morning.
The father Of the young lady was
communicated with, and came at
once to the hotel and laid the facts
before his daughter. The poor girl
is, of course, crushed and mortified,
as are also her parents. She return
ed home with her mother about sun
down, and on the advice Of the So
licitor her father swore out war
rant, charging Phelps with bigamy,
and he is at present under the super
vision of Sheriff Graham.
The sheriff this morning wired the
clerk of court at Greensboro to know
f Phelps had been divorced there, as
le claims. If he cannot set himself
straight before the preliminary,
which will be held later, he will have
o face a Williamsburg jury on
harge Of bigamy.

for ". T. Jones, the Union County
farmer, now under life sentence for
the killing of his wife, Marian Jones,
have until Monday, April 4, in which
to file arguments for a rehearing in
the case before the Supreme Court.
The original date for the fling Of the
arguments was April 1, but the
Court has extended the time in the
following order:
"In the Supreme Court: It being
made to appear to me that the time
heretofore granted to the defendant
appellant, in which to file and amend
petition and argument on the appi-
cation for rehearing has proved, on
account of unavoidable circumstances
inadequate.
"It is, on motion of the attorneys
for the defendant-appellant, ordered
that said time be, and is hereby, sx-

reasons for the request. Mr.. John I

the same to extend beyond April 1.
The trip will take nearly a day

though only one day at the Court

that other circumstances have con-
ributed not to allow him time in

THREE MURDERED
IN ONE NIGHT
Claude Ferguson Uses Shotgun with
; Deadly Efect.-Killed Two
Third Shot in the Night.

Laurens, March Pin the viein-
ity Of Parks Station, three miles
east Of the city, last night Toney
Anderson was shot dead in the
cabin home of Ida Mccoy Nelson, the
Anegress herself mortally wounded,
dying a few hours later, and Alex
Ray, living a mile distant, was call
ed to- his door and shot through the
heart, expiring almost Instantly.
Anderson and the woman were
murdered by Claude Ferguson, who
was accompanied by another negro,
Jim Davis, on his death dealing tour.
Ferguson was armed with a shot gun
4 Davis with pistol, according to
statement made by the woman be-
fore she died, and that Of her
daughter, Rosa, an eyewitness to the
ltragedy In their house.
T It is believed that Ray was killed
by the same murderers, though the
coroner's jury today returned
verdict that he came to his death
at the hands of parties unknown.
Made Their Escape.
Ferguson and Davis made their
escape, although every effort has
. been made since last night to appre- !
hend ~tAem. Both lived in the COM
immunity in which the crimes were
committed, and it is known that :
trouble, involving all parties, with :
the possible exception Of Davis, had .
existed for some time. Ferguson .
was only recently liberated from
jail after the settlement Of some mis-
demeanor with which he was charged
and preferred by one Of his broth
ers.
The ante-mortem statement Of the :;
murdered woman and the testimony
of her daughter, who was in the
house when the shooting occurred,
were to the effect that Ida and two
of her small children had retired and
that Anderson was caller. Be- {

hours later. She was literally shot

Another Murder.
About an hour after the double
crime at Ida Nelson's, Alex Ray
was aroused by some one in the
yard who wished to see him on
business. Ray came to the door and
his callers asked if he could change
a dollar. Ray replied that he prob
ably could, and upon getting his
pocketbook returned to the door
when he was felled to the floor with
a ghastly gunshot wound in the
chest. He never spoke. His wife
heard the talking before the shot
was fred, but did not recognize any
Of the visitors voices.

Johnstone then asked the Court for
the extension, which has been grant
ed.
Mr.. Johnstone explains that Jones
is now in jail at Union, and that he
is already in charge Of the State,
that the only difference if the peti-
ton is refused would be that Jones
would be brought to Columbia un-
der life sentence instead of. remaining
at Union.
