DEATH IN QUICKsANDS.
Body of Unknown Ncgrcss Was
Found Mired to Waist.

An unknown negro woman appar-
emily 65 or 20 years of age, was
found about IL o'clock yesterday
mired to the waist in the muddy
bed OF little creek which flows in
to the Congaree river 800 yards
above the CRANKY landing. How
long she had been in the quicksand
or how she got there is not known.
The body was discovered by two
white men.
The banks of the creek at the
point where the dead woman was
found are very steep. The place is
not within calling distance of auy
house and it was merely by chance
that the men saw the body as they
were passing. II is possible that the
old negress met lingering death
from starvation or cold. There were
no bruises on the body or any indi-
cation that violence had been used.
little distance down the creek
was a foot-log. The woman may
rave slipped down the steep banks
OF the stream while hunting for the
crossing. The struggles of the wo
man In her frantic efforts to crawl
10 safety had disturbed the mud all
around the place where the body
was found
few feet away from the bodv
was a basket containing a dozen un-
shncked ears of corn which she
had evidently been carrying when
she fell into the creek.
ihe woman wore a mans coat
ana n faded skirt. She had a plain
goid ring on the middle finger of
her left hand.

WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.
Government Planning Gigantic
Blow at Monster Evil.

The government of the United
States has turned it's whole detec-
tive machinery toward unearthing
ard destroying the white slave traf-
fic as it exists between the States
or between foreign countries and
the United States.
1t is the plan of the department
OF justice TO make one sweep on all
tie large cities at once, and strike,
If possible, one staggering blow at
the traffic.
The governments authority comes
from the Mann act. imposing upon
the interstaete aspects of the crime
penalties of five years Imprisonment
OF fine of $4,000.
According to information already
received at Washington, Pittsburg
is the centre of the trade, though
clews discovered in Chicago make
that city an important substation in
the circulation of girls and women
through the country.
The first swoop, it is intended,
Will be started simultaneously in
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Chicago and San Francisco.
Officers at ports of entry have
been asked to increase their vigil
ance and to inspect female immi-
grarts with peculiar care. Mean
while officers at inland cities will
watch and report the movements of
all suspects.
In New York some months ago
District Attorney Whitman made an
effort TO trap some OF the men back
OF the trade in that city. but they
escaped. The only way to capture
the offenders. according to the
agents of the Department of Jus
tice. is to have the authorities OF all
the large cities act together.
The government agents will not
try to clean up" the various cities.
They VIII simply go after the lead
ers Of the syndicate.
In Chicago some arrests have
Deen made but th6s care only tho be-
shining OF the general cIJ sac, Il Is
said. In several cases IL was found
that men Of that city had brought
Some of the lines developed i'm
Chicago by these arrests can be
traced throughout the country.

Two Breaks.

Two breaks occurred on Main street some time between midnight and dawn Monday morning. The first was at the store of Ballard * Clark, where the burglar or burglars sent large stone crashing through a plate glass window and helped themselves to two fevolvers in the show window, one a 32-caliber 6-inch barrel, the other a 32-caliber g. inch barrel. They next went to Frank lin's lunch wagon near by and cut out screen and took box of cigars. These are the only things missing.
 The job looks like boys work and the police are inclined to believe that if they could lay their hands upon a couple of boys about Is or 70 years Of age, apparently tranps, who had been hanging about the city few days and who have now disappeared, they would not have to look much further.

 Putnam Is good city to live in--as good ss the speaker had ever seen, and he expressed his good will to all ciii- zens. We should endeavor to create the feeling that Putnam stands for Progress and Prosperity. All should unite to make our city a better place 10 live in, and should endeavor 10 ket peo- pie to locate here. Then we should have better buildings, better streets, etc., should all pull together harmo- niously.
 Dr. Omer LaRue said that the gath ering was the result of the efforts of a few live citizens of Putnam. This we are now viewing is thriving Industry, and il has come to stay. lie referred to the great advantages to:be gained by concerted action and organization, and referred to and pointed out the fact that organization was the trend of the present day.

The Dean Factory Dedication

of Trade, setting forth what Mir. Dean wanted, came into hts hands. The re. suit of this was that Mr Dean came here, and after viewing the city, bought land--three times as much as his pres- ent needs sequired, so that he coald ex- pand later. Because of the panic of la07, hts coming herc was delayed.
 One unusual characteristic of these people Is, that they would not allow our eitixens to take financial interest in their business. When asked about stock in the industry, they had noue ta sell. Tn other words, they came here paying their own bills, and propose to continue paying them, and also man. age their bustnsss themselves.
 The speaker then pointed out the usefulness of the Association, saying that If there hsd been no Business Mems Association to follow up the matter. the Pin Factory would not be here.

Lad Fatally Sho..

Philip l.oomis. ten years old, son of NIT. and Mrs. Herbert Loomis, of New Britain, and a grandson of Shentf r. B. S,hley, of Danielson, was fatally shot while in boat on Alexanderss Lake, about 7.sV o'clock Thursday eve ming.
 The boys death Is chargeable either to Peter Bridges, F., who is employed on the Newton Phillips farm, close by the scene of the aecident. or 10 Arthur Waterhouse. ts, sOn Of Edward Water house, of Attawa0gan.
 These boys wess On the top of an ice run connected wtsh an ice house on the lake shore. They eaeh had 2 caliber ifie, and were sheosins st such objects as took their fa1&ey. The water was screened from thels view by trees.
 Frederick Johassa and the Loomis boy were on the lake in boat. There was crack of two rifles in rapid sue succession. The iisss bullet came near hitting Johnson, and he told hts com- companion to duck down, but before he could do 30, the fatal bullet struck his forehead and crashed into his bsain-
 Doctors were summoned, but there was no help for the unconscious lad. He was rushed to the Day kimball Hospital in an, automobile. Death came while he was taken to the operat- ing room in the hospital elevator.
 The Bridges and Warehouse boy were taken into custody pending an in- vestigation.
 Coroner Bill was engaged all day Friday in Investigating the case. He took both boys to the scene of the shooting and had them point out their exact position when the shots were fired. 1t was apparent that the boat upon the lake could moi have been seen from the point designated, and il is therefore satisfactorily established that the shooting was unintentional, al- though the accident may be chargea- ble to criminal negligence.
 The body of the Loomis. boy was taken, op Friday, to the home of his grandparents, MT. and Mrs. Preston E. Sibiey, Danielson- The bullet that pierced his forehead penetrated the brain and was found located at the base of the head
 As the Bridges boy admitted that he fired the last shot 1t was his bullet that caused the death of ysang Loonlis.
 When arraigned in the Burrough Court at Danielson, Saturday, Bridges entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of fmanslaughter. He was bound over to the Superior Court, and in de- fault of Sl 900 bond was taken to jail.
 The Warehouse boy had no charge preferred against him, and was allowed to go home after severe lecture by Judge Back, in which he warned boys, parents, and the public in general, against the promiseous use of danger ous firearms.
