In a pitched battle Saturday night,
on public highway, between =
posse,s headed by: Lee Hollal1, in
tendant OF the village Of Mauldin, six
miles below Greenyille, and Rotsrt
lMcAbee and his SOD VIII. Of Enore 9.
spartanburg county. Robert McAbee
was shot dead and Lee HOLLAND prob.
ably fatally wounded. ,t.
According to the account. OF the
killing, told By Sheriff u. Perry
Poole, or iGreenyille county, McAbee
and his son lett Enoree Saturday.,
morning to spend the night with
Thomas Fowler, who lives near
Mauldin. About a mile above the
village the two met a white man
in the road, one Thompson, and fired
five times at him, none Of the shots
taking effect. q
The incident passed and father and
son drove into Mauldin. In passing
through the village McAbee fired a
pistol ball through both walls Of a
store conducted by Lee Holland and
fed up the road with his son. eHol-
land organized posse and started
Quito arrest McAbee and his son.
i It seems that in fleeing McAbee
and his son took the wrong road and
attempted to retrace their steps. It
was while they were going back that
they were met by Holland and the
posse. mediately Robert McAbee
drew his revolver and opened fire
on the posse, one shot passing
through Hollands right breast. Nc
sooner had. McA.bee fred than mem
bers of the posse returned FIRE.
The older McAbee fell to the
ground, his, body pierced by one pis-
tol ball and his head by three. He
expired about an hour later, in the
read. Despite the fact that he was
shot through the breast, Holland
placed the younger McAbee under ar
rest and conducted him back to Maui
din, VIII ere he held him until Sheriff
Poole arrived, about 4 1 o'clock. =

A TALE OF THE SEA-. e!
BOTTLE !. WITH NEWS ABOUT
FOUNDERED SCHOONER.
First News of the Missing Vessel
Since Her Mysterious Disappear
ance Over Year Ago.

fars 20 %. q
According to,press dispatches a
bottle picked up on the shore at
Lewes, Del, Thursday, contained a.
message from the crew of the schoon-
er Robert McQuillen, which sailed
from Mystic Conn.,, on December 49,,
1909, for Charleston, but which was
lost in. a storm when only a few
days out, and never heard Of again,
Nothing was ever learned of how
the schooner was wrecked, OF If any
of the crew were. saved. The mes
sage sealed up in; the bottle, which
was found Thursday at .Lewes by
Surfman Timmons, Of the Henlopen
Life Saving. Station, is the: first light
shed upon the fate of the schooner.
Following is the brief story contained
on the piece Of paper found in the
1--WE are just leaving schooner Nc
Quillen. She is about to go down.
Capt. Williams and mate are washed
overheard and no one: left but crew.
We are Just, leaving her in boat ana
hope to be picked up soon. Nothina
in, sight at present. Hope this Will
be found by some one, as we cannot
live much longer in this weather.
! The News and Courier says the
schooner Robert McQuillen carried a
cargo of $50 tons of fish scrap, con-.
signed to Theo, J. Simons, Jr,, chem
icahbroker, Of this city. The cargo
was shipped by H. J. Baker & .Brotl-
er, Of New York city, importers OF
fertilizer materials and also dealers
in domestic fertilizers. On the morn
ing of the 1 9th of December, 1905,
the schooner sailed from Mystic, a
port on the Connecticut coast, unferj
the command of Capt. E. T. Williams,
of Lewes, Del. Capt. Williams was
sailing the vessel for Capt: Robert
.McQuillen, the commander of the
schooner. who happened to be off on
his Christmas vacation. Capt. Nc
Quillen had often sailed his schooner
to CharlestonS and was well known
here, being regarded. as o.t, OF the
best shippers in the. trade.
For weeks interested parties ON
both ends Of the line waited for some
word from the schooner. It.Nas not
until the, 26th OF February Of last
year-two months after the vessel
had sailed from Mystic port, that she
was reported probably lost in tb'.
storm which swept the Atlantic coast
about Christmas .time%of 1909.
The note found yin the bottle last
Thursday was written on a piece of
brown paper, presumably about the
time the crew abandoned the school:-
er. It will never bo known just what
time the note was written, as 1t was
not dated, or where It was written,
as the latitude nor longitude were
mentioned. 1T has always been the
general opinion that the vessel en-
countered the storm a few days after
putting out to- sea. The captain and
some members Of the crew were froin
Lewes, Del, and friends there had
been patiently waiting to hear some
news: from their loved ones. 1t is
rather remarkable that the message
should have found it's way to: the
home port fourteen months after the
vessel was lost.

FEARS DEATH TOOK
HIS LOST FAMILY
Disappeared En- Route to Oregon:
Charred Remains Nav he Theirs

Aurora, Ore.-Fred Arlington, of
Salt Lake City, is in Aurora trying to
secure information about Joseph
Swanner, his brother-in-law, who last
year purchased land near Needy and
who left his home in Utah with his
family for this place, travelling by wa
gon, over a year ago, but of whom no
definite news has been since heard
Arlington traced the family as far as
Emmett, Idaho, but lost all trace of
them there.
He was informed however, that the
charred and burned remains of sew
eral bodies, of wagons, etc. had been
found in one of the burned districts
near Wardher, but could not verify
the report. He was told of a ring
found on the finger of one of the bod
les that he identified (by description
only as belonging to his brother. But
the story seemed so improbable that
Arlington could not credit it, and came
or here where he found the land pur-
chased by Swanner unoccupied and
taxes unpaid. This leads him back
to the Idaho story.
No one here knows any thing of
the ill-fated family. and it is believed
they never arrived here.

ENGINEERS NEED OFFICERS.
Select Corps of Army Finds Itself
Short i'm Picking West Point Men.

Washington, D. C.-For the first
time since the foundation of the Unit
ed States military academy the engi-
neer corps of the army has this year
failed to secure from among the
graduates of that institution a suffi-
cient number of young men to fill the
existing vacancies in the corps.
1t has been the rule that the boys
who graduated with the highest hon
ors at West Point have chosen to en-
ter the engineer corps rather than any
other branch of the military service.
But this year so heavy were the de-
mands of every other branch that the
war department decided that it could
not in fairness allow the engineer
corps to fill its quota by selection
from among the graduates.
The consequence is that it is now
necessary to admit no less than ten
civilians to this select corps and the
department is preparing the stiffest
sort of an entrance examination to
which the candidates will be subject
ed.
