OFFICER NEVIS SHOOTS NEGRO.
William Zeigler Shot Saturday Night
While Resisting Arrest.

Saturday evening a little after
dark colored woman, by the name
of Callie Moorer, came down town
and reported to the policeman that
William Zeigler, who goes by the
name of "Damper,' had struck her
in the mouth and mistreated her
otherwise. Special Policeman j. w.
Jennings soon had "Damper' under
arrest, and al went we'll until the
door of the guard house was reach
ed, when he (Damper) decided that
he did not want to be locked up and
made a dash for liberty, succeeding
in getting away after being shot at
by Policeman Jennings five times,
none of the shots taking effect.
About three o'clock Sunday morn
ing "Damper" re-appeared on Main
street, filled up with fighting
liquor" and proceeded to curse
everybody out, and the policemen in
particular. Night Policeman Sandy
Nevis, who was on duty at that
time, attempted to arrest him, when
he succeeded in snatching the police
mans club, and, after striking the
officer two blows, was shot by Mr..
Nevils twice, one of the bullets pass
ing through the fleshy part of his
arm and the other entering his side.
Neither one of the shots are thought
to be serious and he is expected to
be out in a day or two.

SANITY OF YOUNG PATTERSON.
Former Tennessee Governor Testi.
fies as to Sons Mental Weakness.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 26.-Inquiry
into the sanity of Malcolm c. Pat
terson, son of former Gov. Malcolm
R. Patterson, who shot and wounded
R. T. Seal on December Z, was be-
gun to-day by commission of physi-
cians The first testimony was con-
cerning a. serious illness in Memphis,
which, it is said, affected young Pat
terson's mind while he was a boy.
The illness, it was testified, had re-
suited in later years in attacks of
epilepsy.
Former Gov. Patterson testified
that during his sons school days he
failed to attain more than a. medi-
ocre record. He resorted to low
companionship, refusing to associ-
ate with persons of his family's So
cial standing, which frequently led
him into many unseemly escapades,
one resulting in his being slashed
across the face with a knife.
The father further said that one
time he received a telegram saying
his son was seriously i'll in a Den
yer hospital. He went there and
found the boy in perfect health.
Finally he sent Malcolm to the coast,
in the hope his health and mind
might be improved. He protested
that he believed his son was not sane.
Capt. O. Havre, of the Memphis
police, testified that young Patter-
son had been in frequent brawls, and
that at one time he was held ten
days in the city Jail. He did not be-
lieve the prisoner sane.

Washington, Dec. 23.-President
Taft played Santa Claus to-day to
two score policemen, more than 20
clerks, the secret service men who

and dozens of other employees of
the White House.
To each policeman and married
man employed about the White
House outside the office force the
steward presented fat turkey, with
the compliments of the president
and Mrs. Taft. Each clerk to-day
found an envelope with IS gold
piece in it on his desk. The presl-
dent himself acted as Santa Claus
for the secret service men who have
travelled with him from Boston to
Seattle, from Washington to Pana-
ma and many other journeys. Each
guard was given a gold stick pin.
One present for Mr.. Taft himself
that had reached the White House
came from Postmaster Douglas at
Tuscaloosa, Ala. 1t was 45-pound
turkey, one of the biggest ever sent
to grace the presidential Christmas
dinner.

MONDAY A BLOODY DAY.
-Four Shooting ARRAYS Occur in This
County Monday.

Last Monday was certainly a
bloody day in Bamberg county, there
being four shooting affairs within
her borders during the day, most of
them being brought about by whis-
key. While it is true that most of
them were accidental, still they were
caused by drunkenness.
The day opened with the killing
Of Mr.. J. w. Main, white man OF
the Olar section, by Cogburn Craw-
ford, a negro. The killing occurred
at the house where the negro lived,
about eight o'clock Monday morning.
It seems that Main had gone to the
negro's house for some whiskey
which the negro had for him and
that both were drinking, the negro
also handling a pistol which he had
possibly fired more than once. Soon
Main was shot, the bullet taking ef-
feet in his back and going completely
through his body. There does not
appear to have been any quarrel be-
tween them, and the negro assisted
in carrying Main into the house and
started for a physician, but when
some one said Main was dead he got
scared and skipped out. However,
he surrendered the same afternoon
and was lodged in Jail. Main was
a married man, and leaves wife
and three small children. The cor
oner's jury found verdict in accord
ance with the above facts.
George Paul, a negro, was shot
and killed by his brother, Sam Paul,
this killing occurring on the planta-
tion of Capt. w. S. Bamberg, where
some negroes had gathered for a
shooting match. Sam Paul and
Lewis Robinson had some trouble
and were shooting at each other, and
while Sam Paul was unbreaching and
loading his gun, it was discharged,
killing his brother, George, who was
standing nearby. Sam was hit in
the leg during the shooting, Robinson
firing the shot that hit him, and he
is painfully wounded. The jury of
inquest returned a verdict of acci-
dental killing.
Hattie Sue Ford, negro woman,
was shot three times and seriously
wounded by her husband, Willie
Ford, this row occurring on the plan
tation of Mr.. J. A. Spann. Ford
had been away and when he came
home found his wife living with a
negro whose wife had died and she
was caring for his children. Ford
has not been arrested, but he is in
hiding somewhere in the community,
as he has threatened to kill the ne
gro man mixed up in the affair
Ford's wife is not dead yet.
The same day on the Lee place
above Denmark a negro was killed
by another while pranking with a
pistol. We have not learned the
names of the negroes. 1t seems to
have been entirely an accident, re-
sulting from the careless handling
of weapons, and the negro who did
the shooting has not been arrested.

THIEVES STRIPPED HOUSE.
Took Everything of Value from Steel
Mans Home.

Salisbury, Pa, Dec. 23.-A jolting
Christmas surprise was expressed to-
day by L. H. Shaner, general fore
man of the rolling mill department
of the United States Steel corpora
ton at Gary, Ind, and brother of
Armstrong county's sheriff, when he
discovered that everything in his
home had been carted away by rob-
bers. Furniture, carpets, dishes,
pictures, in fact, everything was
stolen. He and his wife visited
their parents last week and Shaner
returned to find his household
goods, valued at $4,000, had disap-
peared and the house bare.

Turns Out a Girl.

Spartanburg, Dec. 26.-"Oscar
Owens" who was known as boy
laborer in the Spartan mill and at
Saxon mill for a year or more, has
turned out not to be Oscar" but
Mary Owens, a very comely young
woman, who says by way of explain
ing her disguise, that she adopted
mems garb in order to better trace a
husband, who deserted her some time
ago.
The discovery that oscar" was
not a boy came about when che" de-
cided to become "she" again, aban-
don the search for her husband and
return to her dress as woman. She
made the change without attracting
suspicion at the mill village, but af-
ter she reached the city persons who
knew oscar" notified the police that
he was down town masquerading as
a girl.
When approached by the officer she
denied that she was Oscar saying
oscar" had just gone to Tennessee
and that she, his sister, had just ar
rived in town.
It developed to-day that oscar
Mary roomed with a Holiness minis
ter, who claimed that he was not
aware that he was really girl. He
has not been seen for two days.
The girl and her family have been
ordered to leave Saxon, but there
will be no prosecution in the case.
