THREE TRAGEDIES OCCUR
IN NEWBERRY COUNTY

NEWBERRY, S. c., Dec 2S.-Newberry
county has furnished its full, quota of
tragedies during the holidays, three hav-
ing been recorded during the past few
days, negroes being the principals in two
and whites in the third tragedy. Word
has just been received in this city of the
shooting of James NJ. Johnson, of Column
bia, by j. S. Suber. his brother-in-law.
which occurred on Sunday aftern6oh at
Strother's ferry, on the Newberry side of
Broad river. The parties are white. The
details of the shooting are hard to OBJ
tain, but it is supposed to have been the
result of some family trouble. Johnson
and his wife, Suber's sister, had separat-
ed and he had brought habeas corpus pro-
ceedings for the possession of the two
children. While the proceedings were
pending, Mrs. johnson secured the chill
dren and left the state. Johnson had
come up from Columbia and had called
the ferryman for the purpose of crossing
the river Suber brought the ferry across
and soon after the men met, the shooting
began resulting in the wounding of
Johnson. Suber has not yet been appre-
hended.
At Whitman. on Saturday afternoon,
Lonnie Williams shot and killed Lence
Farr, and Sunday afternoon at Belfast,
on the plantation of Thomas Davenport,
Rob Golden killed Henderson, the weap-
on used being a pistol. All the later par
ties are negroes. Williams and Golden
have been lodged in Jail.

RIVALRY OF GYPSIES
Is CAUSE OF RIOT

CHARLOTTE, n. c., Dec. 2S.-A small
riot was precipitated last night six miles
east of wadesboro, the county seat OF
Arson county, among a camp of several
hundred gypsies when a man who gave
his name as "Chief MITCHELL entered the
tent of another member of the band OF
gypsies, and, it is charged, criminally
assaulted a woman. County authorities
were summoned by citizens nearby
and several arrests followed. At pre-
liminary hearing Mitchell was held with
out bail for the superior court to answer
the charge of criminal assault, which is
a capital offense in this state.
Officers who went to the scene found
several men and women tied to trees
where they had been severely beaten,
some of them were seriously, though not
necessarily, fatally injured. Rivalry be-
tween the two bands of gypsies as to
which was the leader. it is said, brought
about the trouble
Mitchell claims that as he is chief OF
the band; that he has committed no
wrong and does not seem to realize the
enormity of the crime with which he is
charged.
