Chester Lantern, June ID: At the fall
term of the court Of general sessions
for this county John Rodman, son
of the Hon. Sidney A. Rodman, of
Rodman, S. c., was tried and con-
victed before special Judge Ernest
Moore and a jury for ''wilfully and
unlawfully closing up and obstructing
a certain highway and public road
leading from the plantation of James
F. Reid into the main public road
from Fishing Creek church to the
city of Chester" and was sentenced
to pay a fine of $50. An appeal was
taken to the state supreme court upon
several grounds. and it was thought
by many who heard the case tried
here that a new trial would probably
be secured, but the court of last re-
sort on yesterday handed down an
opinion affirming the verdict Of the
jury and Mr.. Rodman vii now have to
cash up" the $50 and also take down
the wire fence he put across the
road. One of Chester county's
most respected ladies, Mrs. Mamie
r. Morrison, departed this life at 5
o'clock Sunday morning at the home
of her son, Mr.. j. d. Morrison, at
Blackstock The deceased had been
i'll but a few days and the news of
her death came as an unexpected
shock to a great circle of friends and
acquaintances all over the county.
Mrs. Morrison was the widow Of the
late William Morrison and is survived
by one daughter, Mrs. Mamie Can't,
of Hendersonville, n. c., two sons,
Mr.. j. D. Morrison, with whom she
lived at Blackstock, and Professor
William Morrison Of Clemson College,
and also one brother, Mr.. Thomas

Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock and
was buried there from the latter's
residence Monday, Rev. Robinson
pastor of the East Side Presbyterian
church, of this city, officiating. Mrs.
Fry is survived by her husband and
two children. What might have
proven a fatal accident, was the out
come of a carelessly handled pistol
by Frank Wrenn who shot Charlie
Hillman, at the home of Joe Hudson
al Wylie's Mill Saturday. After the
mill had closed for the day, Charlie
Hillman and Bob Wrenn went to the
home of Mr.. Hudson and lay down
on a bed. While in that position
Frank Wrenn entered the room and
fiourishing a pistol ordered the two
young men to throw up their hands.
Wrenn did so at once but Hillman
hesitated and the accoster pulled the
trigger of the pistol which went off
and Hillman cried out in pain You
have killed me-" Not until then did
Wrenn realize that the pistol was
loaded and became nearly frantic with
grief, catching up the one he had
wounded and placed him in an easy
position. Messengers were hastily
dispatched to the city and Dr. A.
NJ. Wylie answered the call. After
examination Of the wounded party,
DR.. Wylie brought him to Chester and
with the assistance Of DR.. ]. G. john
ston, probed for the bullet. 1t was
found to have entered the nose at
the right side and to have lodged in
the soft palate. Hillman thought
that he had swallowed the missile but
the X-ray showed 1t safely lodged In
the palate from where it was ex-
tracted Hillman was able to be out
on the streets Monday morning, but
said that he had a very sore throat
and that he did not care to sneeze
very hard All of the parties are the
best of friends and it will be a long
time before any of them handle pis-
tol again and they never will handle
another carelessly whether they are
sure it is loaded or not.
