Greenville, March 26.-Lying in q
pool Of his own blood. Gary Brock
man. IL years old. at midnight to-
night was found unconscious In an
old school house near Greer. The
boy was cut almost into shreds. The
boy has not regained consciousness
and has little chance of surviving
his terrible injuries.
He was slashed almost into pieces

the floor Of the deserted building, his
young life blood ebbing away through
q score of deep gashes.
There il no trace OF the criminal.
Every circumstance Of the crime is
shrouded in mystery. There is not
even conjecture as to the cause Of the
bloody deed. The time and manner
Of its happening are known to but
two persons, the dying victim and his
brutal assailant. Gary Brockman's g
lips never will reveal the secret, and
so far the hloodhounds which were
taken to the scene have found them
selves hopelessly at fault. The in
vestigation will be continued.
Gary Brockman is q son of J. H.
Brockman, who lives near Greer.

Labor for Local Option.

Philadelphia, March 27.-Declar-
ing that the passage Of q local option
law would hasten the settlement of
the trouble between the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company and its en-
ployes, the Central Labor union at its
meeting to-day adopted resolutions
calling upon the members Of the
trades unions of this city to agitate
and vote for local option at every op-
portunity.
The failure Of the brewery work
ers to join In the sympathetic strike,
1t is alleged. was practically respon-
sible for the passage of this resolu-
ton. A motion to table the resolu-
ton was lost. 100 to SO.

in effect for more than three weeks
was officially declared of at to-day's
meeting. A majority of the workers
who responded to the call had already
returned 20 their work and others
had arranged to return tomorrow.
The committee Of ten which has had
charge of the sympathetic strike
made its report to-day and recon-
mended that the strike be discon-
tinued and financial support be given

Miss Lands retired in confusion,
at which the robber laughed heartily.
For one hour and five minutes
held the sack for the bandit. and dur
ing that time he stopped no fewer
than sixteen coaches and compelled
125 persons-nearly all meH-to give
up their money and jewelry.
As each coach was robbed the driv-
er was ordered to drive on at a trot,
and cautioned not to look back or try
any funny business" They would
be in sight for long time, the rob-
Der informed them, and his rife was
q high-power weapon and beautifully
accurate. In every instance his
friendly advice was needed.
Az he coolly disposed of the occu-
pants Of the last Of the long string
Of coaches he impaired to them the
cheerful news that he would watch
the trail for one hour, and travel
over the route in the direction of the
Lake Hotel, and that it would be
anything but healthy for them to
try to return. This advice also wa
duly listened to, and the string Of
coaches did not hslt until they Ar
rived at the Lake, q distance Of fif-
teen miles, where the robbery was Of
course, at once reported. All desire
even to turn our heads to admire the
beautiful scenery, had vanished.
When the robber had finished with
the last coach he thanked me for
holding the sack for him, politely re-
quested me to hand over my money,
and told me that I might get In the
stage and drive On with the rest of
the "fellers that had been sheared. +"
Included in the sixteen coaches that
were in the holdup were Wylie Camp
ing company vehicles, Yellowstone
Park Transportation stages and
Monida company coaches. As near n
I could Judge the amount Of plunder
would aggregate about $4,000 in
money and as much more in jewelry.
