KILLED BY A NEGRO.
Great Excitement Caused by Tragedy
in Newberry.

Through a dispatch to The State
we learn of bloody tragedy which
took place Friday at Jno. c. Hipp's
Old Town plantation II miles west
of Newberry, in which James S. Gill
liam, a white man, cut a negro Wo-
man, Maybell Rook, on the neck and
Jaw and her mother, Clayton Boozer,
on the hand with knife. Gillian
himself was shot and killed by Sam
Boozer, the husband and father OF
the women.
Gillian lived on Mr.. Hipp's place,
as did the negroes. This morning
Boozer and several other negro men
on the place came to Newberry and
we're in the store of Geo. c. Hlpp get
ting plantation supplies when John
Hipp got a phone message that Gill
liam had cut a negro woman's throat
and telling him to come at once. He
and the negro men left on the 2:4S
Southern train Friday afternoon and
it was shortly after they reached the
place that the shooting occurred.
A large crowd has gathered and
there is much excitement. The sher-
if and coroner have just gone to the
scene. Mr.. Gillian was 43 years old
and leaves a wife and four children.
The difficulty started by Mr.. Gillian
refusing to let the woman wash at
the we'll. He is said to have been
drinking. Witnesses say that Gillian
put his hand behind him as If TO
draw a pistol, but he had no pistol.
Boozer made his escape.

BANDITS GO TO PRISON
THEY WE'RE CONVICTED IN
QUICK TIME AND SENT UP.
Within Eight Hours Anderson Draws
TwentyYear Term and the Others
Fifteen Years Each.

George Anderson. alias "Old Bill'
Miner, George Hanford and ]. E.
Hunter, accused of being members OF
the gang which held up the United
States fast mail, a Southern railway
train, near White Sulphur Springs,
Ca, on the morning Of February Is,
were convicted at special term OF
the Hall county superior court held
at Gainesville, Ca, Friday and SEN
fenced to prison, Anderson for 20
wears and Hanford and Hunter for l5
years each.
After being sentenced the prison
ers arose and thanked the judge for
not imposing heavier sentences. An
derson saying: THANK you, judge.
Robbery is robbery and here's an
other case."
The selection of jury, introduc-
tion OF testimony, argument by at
torneys and rendering Of verdict re-
quired only a little more than eight
hours. Upon being a.raigned Ander-
son entered a plea Of not guilty, but
Hanford and Hunter pleaded guilty
and turned States evidence. On the
witness stand they stated that An
derson was the leader of the gang
which was organized in Pennsylvania,
they said, with the avowed purpose
of committing a train robbery in this
State.
Anderson is wanted in Victoria, B
c.. to serve the remainder of term
for train robbery, but his conviction
here means that he will not be sur
rendered to the Canadian authorities
until after the completion of his SEN
tence in Georgia. AS he Is 65 years
old, he probably will never be re-
ouired to complete his term in Can
ada.
The robbery in which the prison
ers were implicated took place soon
after midnight February 18. Five
men, for two of whom the officers are
still searching, boarded the train and
blew open a safe In the express car
securing about $4,000. Only two
shots were fired during the hold-uE
and they were for the purpose oi
frightening passengers who left the
cars to ascertain the reason for the
stopping Of the train. The bandits
made their escape but five days later
two of them, Hanford and Hunter
were captured not far from the scene
of the robbery. The next day Ander'
soon fell into the clutches Of the Of
| ficers.

movement against him has been
growing on the Democratic side dur
ing the past few weeks, and many
people believe now that the fillbustcr
led by Senator Stone, of Missouri,
and backed by a large Democratic
following, was due partly to desire
to show Mr.. Bailey that his influence
was waning. BY withdrawing his
objections . the tariff board bill IN
order to get an agreement for vote
on the Lorimer contest, Mr.. Bailey
alienatad considerable of his follow
ing.
When the Lorimer-tariff board
compact was made it was the belief
on the Republican side that there
would not be filibuster against the
legislative portion of the agreement.
otherwise the insurgent Republicans,
who were unit against Lorimer,
would not have agreed to the ar
rangement. A vote was taken on the
Lorimer case and almost Immediate
" obstructive tactics were begun Dy
Democrats AGAINST the tariff board
bill. The only explanation Senator
Bailey could make was that he was
unable to call off his colleagues.
In this state OF affairs it took little
to arouse his anger to fame. All it
needed was the open slap given him
when he advised against the adoption
of the Owen motion in regard TO
Arizona statehood. Although that
motion was defeated, it's defeat was
due almost entirely to Republican

DESERVED LYNCHlNG
MANY CRIMES TRACED TO TIL
HAND OF ARTHUR YOUNG.
Mulatto Who Shot Policeman Gum
nels at GreenvilIe and Who Was
Lynched for Killing Conductor.

nelS at Greenyllke ana VINO was
Lynched for Killing Conductor.
The last chapter in the checkered
life of Arthur Young has been writ
.sn with the sending Of his body
from lGreenyille to Fountain lnn'
where the remains will be Inferred
by his family, says the Greenvtlle
correspondent of The State. The cor
respondent goes on to say:
Within the last seven days the
shooting of Policeman Gunnels, the
robbery Of the postoffice at Easley,
the robbery of the depot and num-
ber of stores at Williamson, anu
numerous other crimes in the Pied
mont neighborhood have been traced
to this mulatto and the guilt finally
and positively fastened upon him by
a most unusual chain of circum-
stances.
Two weeks age when the Pinker-
ton detective reached Greenville TO
ferret out the murderer of Policeman
Gunnels, he made brief examination
of the probable clues found in this
city, and then made short trip to
Williamson and later went to Eas-
lev, where he secured sufficient evil
dence to lead hira to the belief that
the man wanted cor the killing OF the
Greenyille officer was none other
than a bright mulatto named Arthur
Young, alias w. R. .Ross-the latter
being the name under which the ne
gro had ordered his makeup mater
ials and his yegg outfit.
The evidence leading to these con-
clusions was gathered piece-meal and
when finally collected under the guild
ance of the local officials dovetalled
SO closely and we'll that it was de-
cided to start the hunt at once for
Arthur Young. officer Rector of the
local force, who had arrested Young
on several previous occasions, was
dispatched on the hunt, finally To-
eating his man in Augusta.
On the night the officer reached
the Georgia city, however, he heard
of the lynching Of bright mulatto
in Warren county, Ga, he having
shot without provocation a conductor
on the Georgia railroad. He left Au-
gusta at once for the scene OF the
lynch;ng. On his arrival, however,
he found that the body had been sold
to medical college in Atlanta.
Going to that city he had little
difficulty in identifying the negro,
though his body was considerably
mutilated. Officer Rector immediate
ly made arrangements to bring the
body of the lynched negro to Green
vile.
After it's arrival in this city the
body was identified by number OF
citizens, by the Easley postmaster,
by Williamston people and the final
result is that another mystery has
been cleared.

OLD VAULT OPENED.
Body of Woman Who Died One Hun
dred Years Ago Found.

The Augusta Chronicle says: Dead
hundred years but unchanged by
passing years, the body of a woman
encased in a strong metal casket has
been found on Shad Island near Sa-
yannah in an old vault in which also
were other caskets.
The finding of the body recalls the
old Shad family, the last of whose
members is said to have died more
than so years ago. Every Indication
about the old vault bears out the
belief that the unknown woman
whose face is as fair and whose hair
is carefully parted over her smooth
brow as it was when she was laid to
rest long before Commodore Peary
fought the British on the Great
Lakes, has lain in her coffin for a
century.
In the little, forgotten colony OF
the dead are said to be eight caskets
all containing members Of this eX-
tinct family. The other caskets Will
be examined later and it is probable
that some care will be taken of the
old vault. A heavy glass covers the
face Of the young woman whose hoIy
was the first to be found. Through it
her face is plainly seen. She looks
as if she had just died.
There are no ruins of a house Wis
ible on Shad plat yet it Is said the
family resided on the island for many
wears. probably before and during the
war of the revolution.

of the work, brick walls, weakened
by the flames, collapsed.

CIVIL War STORY
ABOUT TWO JUDGES THAT READS
LIKE PURE FICTION.
1t ellis How Judge Harlan, Federal,
Banged Away at Judge Lurton,
Confederate, Fifty Years Ago.

Gen. John H. Morgan, the raider,
along about 1853, swooped down
upon the Federal garrison at Harts-
Vile, Tenn. Morgan had only about
1900 men, while the Union forces
numbered about 1000. Still, Nor
gan usually kne" what he was
about-result: Several hundred
Federals killed and the rest cap
tured.
AS soon as the battle was over,
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the
Confederates recrossed the Cumber-
land River. Among the rear guard
was Private Lurton, of the Sd Ken
lucky cavalry. He was the last man
to recross the river and just ahead
of him was the last Confederate
wagon, loaded with Federal muskets,
and other captured articles.
In the meantime the sound OF
Morgan's guns had disturbed the
slumbers of another Kentuckian
This one was Union soldier, Harlan
by name, and he was colonel of the
1 9th Kentucky infantry, at Castalian
Springs, six miles from Hartsvllle.
He Immediately started with his regl-
ment to the relief of the garrison at
Hartsville.
Harlan and his regiment reached
| the top of a bluff back from the river
Just as Lurton and the last wagon OF
the Confederates was in the middle
of the Cumberland. Harlan had a
field piece along, and he pointed 1t at
the Confederate cavalryman and
banged away. He didn't hit the cav
alryman; so he tried again and kept
trying.
Nevertheless, Harlan's shells hit
the river in the immediate vicinity OF
cayalryman and wagon, and they
made a mighty splash. The driver
cut loose his mules and made record
time to the shore. If Lurton tarried,
there is no record OF 1t.
Today, in black robes, the colonel
behind the cannon and the private on
the horse sit side by side. on the
bench of the most august tribunal
of the world. For the Federal was
John Marshall Harlan and the Con-
federate was Horace Harmon Lurton
and both are Associate Justices OF
the Supreme, Court Of the United
States of America.
This United States Of ours Is
great country-and it is. just such
things as this Harlan-Lurton affair
that make us sure Of 1t.
When one Of these Kentuckians
banged away at the other our coun'
try was in the throes Of the fiercest
and bloodiest civil wars OF all history.
And that was just about half a CEN
tury ago.
In these SO years we have grown
to be the wealthiest and most pow.
erful nation of earth. But, better
still, we have outgrown the things
that set Union soldier against Con-
federate until the presence of these
two fighting men of the civil wal
side by side upon the Supreme Court
bench is truly typical of sectional
strife forgotten and country re-
united.
It takes a great country and
great people to make such things moi
only possible, but actual realities.

FELLOW EMPLoYE.

On July 4 next the workingmen's
Ecompehsation act which passed the
recent session of the New Jersey leg
islature will go into effect.
1t is provided by section of the
act that when personal injury is caused
to an employee by accident arising out
of and in the course OF his employ
ment, of which the actual and law
fully imputed negligence of the em-
ployer is the natural and proximate
cause, he shall receive compensation
therefor from his employer. provided
the employee was himself not viii fully
negligent at the time of receiving such
injury, and the question of whether
the employe was himself not wilfully
shall be one of fact to be submitted to
the jury.
Section Of the act provides that
the right to compensation shall not
be defeated upon the ground that the
injury was caused in any degree by
the negligence Of a fellow employee, or
that the injured employee assumed the
risks inherent in or incidental to his
employment, or arising from the fail

maintain safe premises and suitable
appliances, which grounds Of defense

Under the provision OF the new law
