The New AutomobIIe Peril.

The highway robber is one of the de-
yelopments with the automobile and
he prefers to work along the dark
roads within a few miles of the large
cities. There have been small num-
Der of highway robbers ever since the
old days when travellers moved
around by stages instead of trains,
but they have multiplied rapidly
since the long-distance travellers took
to the power wagons and the joy rid
ers got busy with the automobiles.
The robbers understand that most of
the riders carry with them money
enough to pay running expenses, and
some possible speed fines, and that
| they are inclined to have high cost
jewelry. Therefore the picking Is
richer than it was out in the dark
hours along the country roads before
the automobile came into general use.
There has been no trimming up OF
the laws to make the crime of high
lway robbery more expensive to those
caught at it, but statesmen may be
expected to wake up to the chances
later. The idea of law is that the
easier the crime the harder should be
the punishment, because the criminal
is always looking for the easiest way
to play his game. That makes 1t
more necessary to have forceful laws
against highway robbery at this time.
The hoboes are making easier livings
because of the free riding over coun-
TRY roads in the machines of luxury,
for any hobo, no matter how lazy he
may be about work, Is always ready
to take a chance In the dark at easy
marks with cash and salable goods to
give up.
II has also been mentioned In the
past year that Legislatures may well
take note of the fact that the most
successful burglaries are accomplish
ed with the use of automobiles to
carry the robbers away after the
goods have been taken from the
safes. The people might laugh at 8
statesman who proposed to frame Z
bill to add or 100 per cent to the
Iprison term of burglar who uset
an automobile in his criminal work
when he is caught. But there II
nothing in that TO laugh at. The bur

bars. They would take their chances

Fire Causes Heavy Loss.

st. Louis, June 15.- Losses con
servatively estimated at more than
$1,O00,000 were sustained in fire
that ragged for hours to-day in a man
ufacturing district bordering for four
blocks the terminal yards in the
southwestern part of the city. The
plants of the Huttig Sash and Door
company, Fathman & Miller Planning
Mill company, Missouri Stair COM
pany, Koken Iron works Ga subsidi-
ary of the American Bridge COM
pany,) and the Mound City Box com
pany were practically wiped out.
The fire is believed to have start
ed in the Huttig plant from a spark
from a locomotive. The tenants OF
more than so flats and dwellings left
their domiciles carrying all they
could of their possessions, when II
was thought their homes were doom
ed. The exodus was found later to
have been Unnecessary and veerine
winds carried the flames in another
direction.

Steamer Hornet in Custody.

New Orleans, June 16.-The
steamer Hornet noted for its filibus-
tering expeditions, arrived at the
mouth of the Mississippi this morning
from Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in
tow of the United States gunboat
Wheeling.
The Hornet is being brought to
New Orleans for deliveryto the United
States marshal in connection with a
libel filed by the Federal government
alleging violation of the neutrality
and admiralty laws.
The Hornet left New Orleans, on
December % last, and at Ship Island,
near Gulfport, Miss, Gen. NJ. Bonilla,
Gen. Lee Christmas and others con-
nected with the recent Honduras
revolution were taken aboard. The
vessel was seized at Truxillo, Hon
duras, one month later by the United
States gunboat Tacoma, and has since
been detained by the United States
government in Honduras waters.
Gen. Bonilla claims the Hornet was
unlawfully seized beyond the bounda-
ries of the United States, and, it is
said, expects to make claim against
this government for the action taken.

ued from Spartanburg.

Darlington, June 5.-Develop-
ments of the past few weeks make it
a reasonable certainty that there is
more than rumOr in the report that
the C!inchfield Railroad will not con-
tinue it's course on to the seacoast by
way of Spartanburg, as has been
heretofore supposed, but that it will
on reaching the Seaboard Air Line,
at Bostic, N c., make its way over
the tracks of the Seaboard on by way
of Shelby and Charlotte, N. c., to
Monroe, from which place it will
make its way to McBee, S. c., and
from there over the South Carolina
Western to Hartsville, Darlington and
Florence. From Florence the route
to the seacoast is uncertain. The
only statement the officials would
vouchsafe was that they would not
go from there to Darlington.
The South Carolina Western is
now operating regular passenger
and freight schedule from Darlington
to McBee, and the work of construct
ing the line from here to Florence is
about completed.
Several of the officials of high
standing continue to frequent this
community, which fact, together with
persistent rumors, makes the matter
live subject of conjecture.

Spartanburg, June 15.-The body
of the man who was killed by a
Southern train near Kings Mountain,
N. c., on last Sunday morning, was
identified to-day when the clothes
taken off the corpse were shown to
Mrs. Mary Sellars, who stated that
they were those of her son, John
Sellars. A bunch of keys in the pock-
cts, which unlocked the door OF a
blacksmith shop where Sellars was
scheduled to 60 to work on Monday
morning, also assisted in the identi-
fication. He disappeared on Satur-
day and when his mother learned
that a man had been killed on the
Southern she started an investigation
through the press, which revealed
this information.

ENJOINs OIL COMPANIES.
Kansas Strikes Blow at Standard
Subsidiaries.

Topeka, Kan, June 15.-The Kan
sas supreme court this afternoon
handed down a decision in the States
suit against three subsidiary COM
panies of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, prohibiting them from
combining to stifle competition.
The three companies against which
the suits were brought are the Stand
ard Oil Company Of Indiana, the
Standard Oil Company of Kansas and
the Prairie Oil and Gas company, all
subsidiary to the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey.
Each of these companies is char
tered in Kansas to produce, purchase
and otherwise procure crude oil, to
refine it and to market it. No one of
the companies has been doing this,
according to the findings. On the
contrary each has been working as
part of system. 1t was brought out
in the hearing that the Prairie Oil
and Gas company is the transporta-
tion company purchasing thu crude
oil and transporting it to the Stand
ard Oil company of Kansas, which is
the refining company. The latter
turns the refined products over to the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana,
which is the marketing end of the
enterprise.
The State asserted that this divis-
ion of the labor showed an illegal
agreement between the three.
The defendant companies are en-
Joined from owning stock in each
other; they are enjoined from selling
petroleum or petroleum products
cheaper in one part of the State than
in another to drive out competition,
and from making contracts with any
person to cause the latter to refrain
from selling oil in Kansas.
The Standard Oil Company OF In
diana, the selling company, is re-
strained from selling under different
brands of trade oils of the same quail
ty and value.

ACCUSES JUDGES OF BIAS.
Prosecutor Has Not Quit Efforts to
Convict Cincinnati Boss.

Cincinnati, June 16.-In line with
the decision of the second circuit
court judges in Ohio in which he was
conceded the right to elect upon
which of the two perjury indictments
against George B. Cox he would pro-
seed to trial, County Prosecuting At
torney Henry T. Hunt made his first
move to-day in the new legal warfare
necessary to follow.
He filed with the clerk of the court
two affidavits of bias and prejudice,
directed, respectively, at Presiding
Judge Chares J. Hunt, now sitting on
the criminal bench of the common
pleas court, and Judge William B..
Dickson, trial judge in the Cox case.
Charges of bias favorable to Cox
and prejudice against the prosecutor
personally, are made in both afi-
davits. Judge Hunt was the target of
one affidavit because, if only Judge
Dickson were to be named, Presiding
Judge Hunts function of naming an
alternate judge would not be i'm
paired.
Judge Dickson later quashed again
the revivified indictment against
George B. Cox, charging him with
perjury. The action came after afi-
davits charging Dickson with bias
and prejudice had been. filed by the
prosecutor, but the court held that
this could not affect his ruling as it
was taken on a motion for a rehear-
ing filed before the affidavits.

Wild Man Dead.

Gaffney, June 12.-One of Chero-
KEGS most valuable assets upon
which it bases the claim of being
the most interesting county in the
State, is gone. "Wild John
starnes, for years the great curiosity
of this part of the country, Chero-
KEGS wild man, is dead. Some days
ago it was discovered that "Wild
John" as he was commonly known,
was very i'll with pneumonia. He
was brought to the county home,
where he was kept until Saturday,
when death occurred. He was
buried Sunday.
Much conjecture has been engaged
in concerning the wild man and he
has long been an object Of great Gu
riosity to the curious of this county
and State. Many have gone to his
den in the widest and most seclud-
ed portion of the county in the hope
of getting sight of him. Many have
tried and failed while curiosity has
prompted many to seek photo
graph of him.
It is stated that John Starnes,
when young man of some 20 years,
took up his abiding place in utter
seclusion far from the "voice Of the
maddening crowd" and has lived
there since. All kinds of rumors
have been heard as to what prompted
this strange action, but 1t is COM
monty believed that the hermit was
disappointed in love affair and be-
came mentally unbalanced as re-
suit. It was almost impossible to
engage him in conversation. He was
as shy as deer, never coming to
town and never being seen. He lived
by means of his prowess with the
gun and fishing tackle. Practically
the only means of ever tempting him
from his hut was a pint or quart bot
tie of rye or corn, and then he was
as shy as an awkward school girl.
His eyes, piercing and keen as those
of a hawk, were ever on tho alert,
watching for some false move or
treachery on the part of visitor,
and there is little doubt but that he
would shoot to kill in the days when
he was physically at his best had
there been any attempt to take him
into custody.
Good homes were offered him time
and time again, but he would never
accept. At one time he was captur-
ed and taken to the home of rela-
tive, but he escaped and went back
to his former mode of living, barri-
cading himself in his hut like hunt
ed animal at last brought to bay.
It is stated at the county home
that when brought there it was
much against his will and great
trouble was experienced with him. It
was impossible to keep him in bed,
and when left alone he would leave
the bed and crouch in one corner of
the room as if being pursued by
some dread fear, with head bent and
hands clasped, there he would sit for
hours. It is stated by the superin-
tendent of the county home that the
poor unfortunate would beg with
tears in his eyes to be allowed to get
out on the ground and left to die. He
pleaded to be released from the
home. He seemed to crave the feel
of the earth and the house and its
covering affected him most deeply.
Death occurred Saturday night
and thus passed one of the strangest
figures ever known to Cherokee
county. Wild John is no more.
