HAD NEGRO IN ANDERSON JAIL.
Sheriff Had Barricaded the Place Be
fore Spiriting Prisoner Away.

Anderson, Oct. 10.-About $3.50
O'Clock this morning Willis Jackson,
the negro who had been rushed here
from Honea Path, was lodged in jail.
A telephone message from Honea
Path stated that the angry mob was
increasing rapidly, and that it was
likely the crowd would come to An
derson to storm the jail. Sheriff King
then barricaded the Jail, calling In his
deputy sheriff and several policemen
who were armed with Winchester
rifles. Sheriff King then hit upon the
plan of spiriting the negro away, and
in DR.. w. F. Ashmore's automobile,
in charge of Deputy Sheriff Martin
and Policeman Holland, the negro
was dispatched to Greenville. The
car carrying the negro left Anderson
at 12:45 o'clock.
Twenty minutes after the negro
had been spirited away more than
100 heavily armed men arrived in
the city. Some came on the trolley
car, some in automobiles and the 9th
ers on the train. They gathered to-
gether, proceeded toward the county
Jail. They were then told that the
prisoner had been placed in an auto
mobile and that he was then on his
way to Greenville.
The mob was evidently greatly dis
appointed on being outwitted, but un-
der the leadership of "Citizen" Josh
Ashley, who had arrived in a large
automobile, they mobilized again,
boarded automobiles and started in
pursuit. The officers had departed 20
minutes in advance. There were a

A FOREST RANGER HERO.
Incident of the Big Fires of 1910. in
Idaho Told by Overton w. Price.

Overton w. Price, vice-president OF
the National Conservation associa-
ton, whose book, ''The Land We Live
In," appears this fall, tells this story
of a heroic forest ranger:
"The summer of l910," he says,
s'by reason of great drought and un-
usually high winds was the worst for
forest fires that the West has ever
known. In Montana, Idaho and
Oregon the danger was greatest.
ssOn the Coeur d'Alene national
forest in northern Idaho Ranger Pu-
laski had under him forty men, who
after many hours of hard work had,
got a big fire practically under con-
troll. Suddenly the wind strengthen
ed until it blew a gale. It immedi-
ately became a question Of saving the
lives of the men. The fire fighters
were in a deep forest many miles
from a railroad and far from any
clearing.
Pulaski remembered that within
a mile Of where they were working
there was an abandoned mine shaft
running back about forty feet into
the hillside. He rushed his men to
the shaft as quickly as possible, and
told them as they passed through
their camp to catch up their blankets
as they ran. The shaft reached Pulas-
XII hurried his men into it, and packed
like sardines they filled it up. Pulas-
XII placed himself at the opening,
across which he stretched a blanket.
"Within a few minutes after the
men were in the shaft the fire came.
The blanket at the opening caught
and Pulaski jerked it away and hung
up another, which caught in its turn.
The blanket caught again and again,
and each time Pulaski replaced IT,
until toward the last he held the
blanket across the opening with his
bare hands.
s"The shaft grew hotter and hotter
and the smoke and fumes grew thick
er and thicker until the mems suffer-
ings were almost beyond human en-
durance. They began to break for the
opening. Pulaski, whose strength
was great, like his courage, for a
while forced them back. Seeing that
he would soon be overpowered and
that his men would rush to their
certain death, he drew his revolver
and said that he would kill the first
man who broke away.
"In perhaps twenty minutes the
worst of the fire passed by. Five OF
the men in the shaft were dead from
suffocation; the thirty-five others
were alive. Pulaski was blinded and
seriously burned upon the hands and
arms. It was three months before his
sight was partially restored. Had not
his heroism and presence Of mind
been what they were, he would have
lost all of his men instead of five.
That is the kind of men there are In
the forest service"

Is Chief of Police.

The many friends of George w.
Magargel of Mckees Rocks will he
interested to learn that he has re-
signed his position with the Pressed
Steel Car Company of that place in
order to accept the appointment OF
Chief of Police of Stowe township,
the suburban district of Pittsburg
in which his home is located.
Mr.. Magargel, who was for
merly of Muncy Valley, where his
parents still live, is we'll qualified
for his new position. He served
six years in the L. S. Army, four
years in the Pennsylvania State
Police and in February would have
completed two years as Il coal and
iron police. The fact that the APP
pointment was made while his
residence in that locality was yet
so new is high tribute to his
character and ability.
His last visit to the county was
made in July of this year, and his
Oldest son is now at Sonestown, the
home of his wife, formerly Miss
Myrtle Edgar, for several years a
teacher in the public schools of
Davidson township.
Mr.. Magargels new position is
for three years and the general
opinion Of all who know him in
police work is that he will make
good and leave the township the
better for his administration.
