Is Nix's Murderer Caught?

The following dispatch was re-
ceived here last night over the AS
sociated Press wires:
Savannah, Ca, Feb. 6.-Tele-
rhoning here, Gov. Ansel OF South
Carolina cautions against taking
James Young, a negro charged with
murder, to Bamberg county, South
Carolina, stating he understood there
was danger of lynching. The negro
was captured here by officer Hand of
Bamberg and is charged with the
murder two years ago of white man
named Nix. The negro will be held
here until fully identified"
Gov. Ansel, when asked about the
matter, said that he had yesterday
received a phone message from Sa-
vannah stating that the murderer of
Nix was in arrest there and that the
officer feared that it would be dan
gerous to take his prisoner to Bam-
berg Jail. Gov. Ansel advised that
the negro first be fully identified, as
there was some doubt on that score,
and then that he be communicated
with as to the situation in Bamberg.
A telephone message to The State
from Denmark last night stated that
no fears of violence were entertained
in that place, although the negro
might have received rough treatment
when the murder was first commit
ted. The negro hid in a swamp and
later escaped to Georgia.-Columbia
State.

Negroes Hang for Assault.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. S.-Con-
victed of assault, George Reynolds
and John Williams, negroes, were
hanged simultaneously to-day in the
county Jail here. Their execution
marked the first time the death pen
atty has been inflicted in Missouri for
this crime.
The negroes, on the night Of De-
cember %, 1909, attacked Mrs. w. H.
Jackson, a violinist, who was return
ing home from a charitable institu-
ton, where she had given concert.
Reynolds collapsed few hours be-
fore the execution and it was neces-
sary to carry him upon the trap in a
chair.
When the chair was removed he
fell limp upon the trap door, moaning
piteously.
Williams, who has been known for
years as a desperate character, re-
NAMED composed.
The evidence brought out at the
trial was so horrifying that Judge
Ralph S. Latshaw, sentencing the ne
groes, said:
'I shall not desecrate Friday, the
day on which legal hangings usually
take place, by ordering your execu-
tion on that day. There is at least
spark of manhood left in almost
every man executed by the State. But
there is no manhood in either OF
you."
Mrs. Jackson's husband witnessed
the hangings.

Dynamite Explosion Kills Seven.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 6.-Heedless
of the warning of foreman in charge
of excavating operations along the
line of the private motor road from
Kelvin to the Ray Copper mines, the
motorman of the gasoline car con-
tanning six passengers ran his car
close to sputtering fuse of heavy
charge of dynamite to-day and the
car and it's seven occupants were
blown to atoms. Tho dead: J. B.
Joyce, A. S. Bieber, J. G. Griffin, all
civil engineers employed by the Ray
Consolidated Copper company; R. P.
Coleman, of Salt Lake City, w. Fl.
Freeland and Walter C. Frenz, min
ing engineers employed by Henry
Krumb in sampling the development
work at the Ray mines, and w. H.
Lyalle, motorman of the car.
The foreman had discovered q
missed shot in the excavation at noon
and before the motor car came in
sight had relighted the fuse. As the
car approached he signaled to the
motorman and warned him of the
impending explosion. Motorman
Lyalle, believing that he could take
his car past the charge to safety,
paid no heed to the warning and
started again at full speed.
Just as the car was passing the
charge the explosion came and the
car, with it's load of human freight,
was blown high in the air amid a
great cloud of debris. The dead men
we're all prominent in mining affairs
in Arizona.

Land Sales Monday.

Last Monday being salesday in this
month, Master H. C. Folk sold some
real estate in the case of Mrs. Eliza
beth Fogle against Mrs. Joanna
Fogle. The lands were sold for the
purpose of winding up suit, and
there was no bidding except by the
parties in interest. The tract OF
eighty-three acres was bid in by B.
T. Rice, Esq, of Barnwell, as attor-
ney in the case, for $3.50. The other
tract of 1877 acres was bid in by S.
G. Mayfeld, Esq, attorney in the
case, for SLOTS. The lands are
worth a great deal more than this,
but as stated they were sold to wind
up the suit. No doubt the lands will
be retained by the parties to the suit.

Fred Caughman Dies.

Lexington, Feb. 4.-Fred Caugh-
man, the white man who was shot by
Claude G.. Can't, also white, at Swan
sea on last Saturday night, died OF
his injuries at hospital in Columbia
this morning.
1t was known from the beginning
that he was desperately shot and that
the end would ultimately come. The
intestines were punctured in five
places, the same ball passing through
the bladder. One ball penetrated the
arm and another the thigh.
CAN'T, who surrendered to the
sheriff this morning, was not aware
of Caughman's death. He declined
to have anything to say, and as there
were no eye witnesses to the shoot
ing so far as is known here, the caus-
es leading leading up to the TRACE
dy are shrouded in the closest mys-
terry. CAN'T has employed ex-senator
Sharpe to defend him, but Mr.. Sharpe
could not be reached this afternoon.
In the difficulty it is alleged that
CAN'T received a slight injury in the
chest, near the heart, by knife in
the hands of Caughman. He is get
ting along well, however, and unless
something unforeseen occurs will be
entirely recovered within a few days.

Civic League.

The Civic League held it's first
meeting of the new year on last Fri
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
w. P. Jones. Quite a number of
old members were present, several
new ones were welcomed and quite
an amount Of business was transact
ed An election was held but as
there is still some doubt as to the
president, the result will not be CIV
en- until next week. All the other
officers have accepted and have
taken up their respective lines of
work with great zeal. In every other
form of government the highest Office
is eagerly sought for and the candi-
date considered it an honor when
elected. But in the societies and
clubs of our town it seems hard at
all times to find a leader.
1t was decided at once that the
most important decision to be made
at present by the league was: "How
is the treasury to be replenished?"
Miss Sarah P. Hines, instructress in
expression of Columbia College, will
give a recital in the Fitting School
chapel on Friday evening, the 18th
of February, under the auspices of
the League. Miss Ruth Cooner, of
Charleston, will give several vocal
selections and other musical talent
will be secured for this occasion.
Miss Hines is we'll known throughout
the State as a public reader, and a
treat is in store for all who may at
tend this recital.
The ladis will also have charge
The ladies will also have charge
of the soda fountain at the store of
Quattlebaum & Murphy for several
afternoons in the near future. Let
everybody patronize this fountain on
these days and help swell the fund
for the improvement of our town.

HORSE AND BUGGY MISSING.
Stranger Disappears from Orangeburg
With Hired Rig.

Orangeburg, February 5.-Yester-
day morning a we'll dressed stranger
hired a horse and buggy from the
livery stable, of J. H. Albrecht- for a
trip to Middlepen, in the eastern part
of the county, with the understand
ing that he would return in the after
noon. This morning Mr.. Albrecht
found himself minus horse
and buggy, as the stranger had not
returned. Mr.. Albrecht reported his
loss to the police of the city, and at
once the wires became hot between
Orangeburg and the nearby towns.
1t was at once ascertained that the
stranger had not gone in the direc-
tion Of Middlepen, but instead had
taken the road towards Bowman and
Branchville, as he had not been seen
with the rig at Ruple's, about six
miles below here. Mr.. Albrecht was
not at the stable when the stranger
got the turnout, and the negro in
charge had not obtained the name
of the party. He gave good de-
scription of him, however. The party
had no baggage or other goods with
him at the time, and did not state
what his business was or the name
of the party he was going to see.
Information comes from Holly Hill
that horse and buggy answering the
above description, have been bought
by a party in Holly Hill from {
stranger, who has left there for parts
unknown, and Mr.. Albrecht an6
Chief Fisher are now on their way
to Holly Hill. "
