FIRE In ROCK HILL.
Only Hotel in the Town Narrowly
Escapes Destruction. Guests Use
Fire Escapes.

Rock Hill special of Dec. 9 in
The State: The Carolina hotel,
the only hotel in Rock Hill, mar
rowly escaped complete destruc-
tion shortly after 10 o'clock last
night. Fire broke out in a closet
under the stairway leading to the
third floor and in an incredibly
short time apparently the whole
passageway of the second floor
was in a furious blaze, Destroy
ing the stairway leading to the
third floor and doing considerable
damage.
The fire was furious one and
the marvel is that the building
was not destroyed. All the guests
on the third floor were cut off
from escape, as the third floor
stairway was a raging furnace.
All escaped, however, by the fire
escapes.

Blackman.
Blackman was this morning at
the house of Cicero Byrd, colored,

that the Bosemans came also and
hostilities were begun, or at least
it seems the old trouble was re-
newed. with the above results.
Ed. d. Boseman was the father
of Barlow Boseman.
Ed. d. Boseman was killed in
stantly. while Barlow Boseman
received two wounds, one in the

YORK COUNTY MERCHANT
MURDERED
Shot to Death From Ambush While
Entering Store. Similar Attempt
was Made Year Ago.

Fort Mill special in yesterdays
Charlotte Observer: While en-
tering the door of his store about
two miles from Fort Mill this
afternoon about 6 o'clock. Mr.. F.
Nevin, a substantial merchant of
this section. was shot from am
bush and died almost instantly.
No clue whatever as to the per-
petrator of the act is obtainable
up to this time.
About a year ago d similar
attempt on the life of Mr.. Nevin
was made. AS he entered his
store one afternoon a shot was
fired from about the same spot
and Mr.. Nevin was seriously
injured. A negro was arrested,
charged with the crime, tried and
acquitted by jury.
A significant fact developed in
connection with this case. While
MIR. Nevin was in attendance
upon the trial of the negro his
store was burned by an incen-
diary. 1t is supposed now that
one man is the perpetrator OF
the former attempt, the burning
of the store, and the subsequent
murder of the victim.
Mr.. Nevin was about 40 years
old and unmarried. He was held
in high esteem in his locality.

PROPOSED SCHOOL AT ANTIOCH
Establishment Of the Southern In
dustrial and Bible Institute Post.

Pe#sd. 4
Conditions are such that it is
thought wise to postpone the
establishment of the Southern
Industrial and Bible Institute at
Antioch. d
The money which has been put
in the banks at Lancaster to my
credit will be returned to the do
nors as soon as can get time to
do 80, say, by the first of Jam
urary.
For many years l have been
engaged in the establishment of
schools and colleges. I wish to
say that the Antioch people have
surpassed any people l ever knew
in their liberality for the school.
Their subscriptions will ever be
an inspiration to me. The book in
which their names are recorded
will be kept as a memorial of
their faithfulness in undertaking
to meet a most blessed opportu-
nifty.
All through the years that are
to come to me I'll think with
pleasure of the noble men and
women l met in my canvass.
How greatly would enjoy to hear
of any blessing upon them and
their children.
With great respect.

R0PlNG A GRIZZLY.
u Dangerous Feat That One Man Per-
formed SINGLE Handed

Roping grizzlies is a game, one
might think, for dozen men, but
there are stories on record of Cali
fornians who have roped the most
powerful grizzly single handed. In
"Recreations Of Sportsmen on the
Pacific Coast" Mr.. G. r. Holder de-
scribes catch of this sort made by
Don Jose Castenada. Don Jose was
living at the time at the Chino
ranch, about fifty miles east of Los
Angeles, and one day when riding
through the willows to inspect his
cattle came suddenly, without warn
ing, upon grizzly that had wander
ed down from the hills on a ma
rauding trip. y
The first warning Don Jose had
was of something flying about his
face and striking his horse fearful
blow on the rump. The object was
the paw of big grizzly The ami
NAL had reared up in the brush and
struck at Don Jose, but had missed
him, as he had intuitively put spurs
to his horse and rushed into clear
ing, trailing his RATA. that on the
range was ALWAYS coiled loosely on
the pommel. The bear followed on
the dead run.
Don Jose was now in a grass
clearing the size Of IA large circus
tent and directed his horse round in
circle. riding slowly until the
grizzly came within ten feet of him,
gradually leading him up to a small
curly willow Suddenly he threw
his horse on his haunches to the
side and as the grizzly came on cast
the riata. -
As it fastened on to the hind leg
of the animal Don Jose ran his
toy3e, rouid tho tree, tbus hauling
thesgrizzly close to it with heavy
drag. and while it fell on it's side.
rolling over and biting at the rope,
Don Jose ran his horse round the
tree several times until he had the
animal completely in the tolls.
He now fastened the end Of his
RATA to a limb, and as the bear was
trying to reach him all the time he
made second RATA of his hair rope,
tossed the moose over the bears
head and with a few turns over the
pommel hauled taut and so arranged
the rope that the horse could not
get wound up.
During this Stime of excitement
and quick action Don Jose had
made the fight from the saddle, but
he now proposed to leave it. He
reached down and pulled his cinch
strap as tight as the horse would
stand, SO the saddle would not slip
/ He then left the well trained horse
holding back hard, as in the case OF
branding steer, and preventing
the bear from moving. The grizzly
had backed up against the tree, the
horse holding him in one direction
the tree in the other.
Don Jose now took of his silk
sash and. passing behind the tree
succeeded in tying the bears hind
legs together. He thus had Mr.
Bear at his mercy. He had made
the capture single handed, except
for the aid of his horse.

THE MILLS CASE
Trial at Conference of Rev. r. H.
Mills of Rock Hill Result. in
His Suspension for One Year.


State: At the South Carolina
conference of the Methodist
church today, the committee on
the investigation, into the domes-
tic affairs of the Rev.R. H. Mills
of Rock Hill made its report. find
ing that the evidence sustained
the specifications and the recon-
mendation of the committee that
Mr.. Ma]s be suspended for peri
cd of one year was adopted by an
unanimous vote.
The verdict of the committee on
the trial of Mr.. Mills was con.
strued in the nature of a compro-
mise. 1t was thought by some
that the report would have been
divided, with a majority recon-
mending the retention of his
ministerial functions or permit
ting him to get a transfer. reliev-
ing both the minister and the
conference from any embarrass-
ment, due to the separation of Mr..
and Mrs. Mills, but this proved
not to be the case. There was
only one report and this was that
the evidence sustained the speci-
fications and the suspension was
recommended. AS a matter of
fact, if the committee thought
that the blame for the domestic
troubles of the family rested en-
tirely with the minister, Mr.. Mills
would have been dismissed from
the ministry but the committee
did not regard the matter in this
light and the compromise verdict
or recommendation followed.
