Wild WEST SHOW
KING STREET IN CHARLESTO.
STIRRED BY WILD COWS.
FRIGHTENED Teams Ran Away and
No Such Excitement Has Been Seen
Since the Earthquake Times.

A big wild west show was given
in Charleston on Monday free to all
who cared to stop and see II. Con-
siderable excitement was caused on
upper King street that afternoon by
the stamyede Of herd of COWS which
soon included several horses hitched
to wagons in the street, and for a
time the whole thorcughfare was on
the move.
Not only did the street itself seem
to he moving, but with the wild ami
mails invading several of the stores,
things were lively within as well as
without and it is understood that no
small damage was done before the
wild animals were all gotten out of
the stores and again started for the
slaughter pen to which it Is under
stood that the cows were destined
before they took fright.
The COWS had been driven into
King from Spring street, having en-
tered the city over the Ashley river
bridge. The animals seemed to have
proceeded along quietly enough ul-
til the noise and hustle of upper King
street frightened them. One or two
of the COWS got separated from the
rest of the herd which Numbered
about 20 in all.
The butcher who had been follow
Ing in a buggy attempted to drive the
separated COWS back into the fold and
in cracking his whip and with the
rattling of the buggy over the granite
block pavement, other COWS took
fright and as they began to run and
cavort about the street, people took
to their heels and soon several teams
which had been left unattended, got
scared and joined in the wild ram
|page.
It was e sight which has not been
witnessed on King street in a long
time if ever before, 1t was not just
one wild steer afraid Of city life and
refusing to proceed across section
or the city to the pen or pasture
aeld, which has been seen at times
bat 1t was full herd, and as they
beloved, kicked up their hoofs and
darted about the street at random,
It was time for pedestrians to seek
snfety, and the people did not have
to be told to get out Of the way.
Into mere than one store the COWS
made their way. In one establish
ment especially, near Morris street
the cow owned the store. Counters
with clothing, hats and other mems
apparel were turned over. while the
show cases slid on the floor and the
whole place was turned inside out
in a few minutes. The proprietors die
rot care TO take any chances with
putting her ladyship out, and the
COW was left to find an exit for her
self.

HELD UP By NEGRO
YOUNG LADY ATTACKED IN
HEART OF NEW YORK.
The Brute Seizes Her and Presses to

A reception was given at the newly
opened rooms of the domestic depart
ment of the Young Women's Christ
ian Association in New York. A large
crowd inspected the equipment OF the
rooms, which include valuable out
fit Of silverware.
At 6 o'clock the last of the visitors
had gone, and Alice Duncan, the
superintendent Of the department,
was in an upper room putting on he1
furs to go to her home. When Miss
Agnes Strang, one Of her assistants
said good-by and started downstairs
Miss Duncan turned out the lights.
Miss Strang had just stepped into
the vestibule of the building when a
negro moved from tie shadows
seized her by an arm, and pressed a
moistened handkerchief to her mouth
and nostrils. It bore pnngent odor
which Miss Strang thinks was chloro,
form.
q The girl wrenched herself free and
sprang back through the still open
door, which she slammed in the face
of the negro. She could not close it.
for the negro's foot had been thrust
into the crack, but she screamed
loudly for Miss Duncan, and the ne
gro hurried away.
Not until s o'clock d.l Miss Dun
can succeed in calming Miss Strang
Then she took her home and reported
the affair to. Policeman Lawrence
Holland OF the West Thirtieth street
station, who was on post in Thirty
seventh street, and gave him the de-
scription Miss Strang had been able
to gather of the negro.
Miss Strang's recollection of hel
assailant was not of the clearest. She
was sure, however, that he was Of
medium height, very black and that
he wore light-ocolored cap pulled
far down over his eyes.

DECLARES FOR INDEPENDEN CE
Clifford Pfnchot Says Nominee in 1912
Must be Progressive.

Must be Progressive.
Over five hundred Republicans
mostly progressives, in attendance at
the Lincoln banquet at Akron, Ohio
Tuesday night, heard Clifford Pinchot
seconded by James R. Garfield OF
Cleveland and A. L. Garford Of Ely
ria, O., declare in their speeches for
independence of party rather than
regularity in order to become free OF
corporate control of the nations re-
sources and of the Republican party
"Whatever is right and vital in the
Republican party today is progress
sive," said Mr.. Pinchot in his ad-
dress. "Whatever is not progressive
is dying or dead. The Republican
party cannot live half dead and half
alive. 1t cannot continue half reac
tionary and half progressive. We
shall live if we free ourselves from
the gangrene of blind devotion to
things that have gone by
Mr.. Pinchot declared that the Re-
publican party cannot afford to riss:
its chance of victory in 1912 merely
upon the hope Of Democratic
blunders. "Time was when that was
reasonably safe" he said. To-day 1t
is a dependence distinctly less re-
liable than in the past. Also We
need a larger issue. In 1912 the
nominee himself will be more than
half the platform. He must have GER.
tain indispensable qualifications. He
must be progressive and st2nd for
popular government

ONLY FOUR-LEGGED GOATS"
No Seamen to be on Texas When
Used as Target.

The navy department officials Mon
day denied reports, from Norfolk,
that seamen would be stationed on
board the United State steamship
Texas when it is fired at by the other
battleships, in the target practice
next month.
The Texas is being fitted with ar
NOR plates. and the test is designed
to demonstrate the effect Of modern
explosive shells upon a war vessel.
Battle conditions will be secured rs
far as possible. and to this end dunn
mics will probably be placed in the
gun turrets to show what would be
the fate of the gunners in an en-
gagement.
If there are to be any goats on
the Texas during the firing, said the
naval officers, they will be four-legged
ones.

SLY THIEVES ROB
AN OLD BROKER OF ONE HUN
DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Securities Removed by Solicitous
Young Man After Collision With
the Old Man.

Young Man After Collision With
the Old Man.
At New York George Bancroft, Sr.,
broker, IS years old, discovered
Monday that he was robbed last
Thursday afternoon of securities
worth approximately 100000 in the
yestibule of the Produce Exchange
Safety Deposit and Storage company.
Last Thursday Mr.. Bancroft placed
the securities in a large envelope,
tied with red tape, and bearing the
firms name in the corner. Alone he
walked the two hundred feet from
his office to the Produce exchange,
thence down a flight of steps from
the street level entrance to the
vaults.
lust as Mr.. Bancroft was about to
turn the corner at the end of the cor
ridor into the vaults tall man came
running around the corner and col
llided with him. The shock threw
MT. Bancroft off his feet and in fall
ing he dropped the envelope.
This was the cue for an undersized
young man who had been leaning
against the corridor wall. He
stepped up to Mr. Bancroft, assisted
him to his feet ard was solicitous to
tuck under his arm an envelope. MI
Bancroft, of course, thought it was
the envelope that fell. He went on
to deposit it in his box as usual.
Today when George Bancroft, Jr.
his son, unlocked the box he found
that the only envelope there CON
tanned three old newspapers. A
clever substitution had been effected
when the elder Bancroft was upset
lin the vault corridor.
The robbers, it is believed, kne"
on what day and hour it was the
firms custom to deposit its securl
ties. They knew that Mr.. Bancrof'
|habitua,ly carried them in an enVel
|ope of certain appearance, for they
provided themselves in advance Will
so close a duplicate that it deceived
Ieyen the man who of all Others
should nave best known It's appear
ance.
So bold robbery in daylight, IL
| the very heart of the city's financla
district, shocked the police. Year
ago Inspector Byrnes had drawn
dead line across the city at Fultol
street, below which he ordered tina
no crook or pickpocket should go OF
even an innocent errand, under pail
of instant trouble with the police.
Having tried the order, the under
world ultimately obeyed and 10
years the financial district was tn
safest place in the world for ma
with large sums of money on hi
person. Bank runners and messen
, ger boys ran about the streets, thei
pockets literally stuffed with bills o
, large denominations.

AFRAID OF BLEASE
HUB EVANS LIKELY TO ESCAPE
TRIAL FOR THE PRESENT.

ing Blacks Sentence Leads to This
Belief Over the State Of Carolina.
The Columbia correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle says the chances
are that H. H. Evans, familiarly
known as Hub" Evans, Of Newberry
will never. come to trial during the
administration Of Governor Cole L.
Blease. Without any official confir-
nation this statement is made In
view of recent circumstances.
Hub" Evans stands indicted Tor
accepting a bribe when he was chair
man of the old State dispensary
board of directors. He was Indicted
at Newberry by Attorney General
Lyon and was placed out on bond
pending his trial G. true bill having
been returned by the grand jury OF
his home county.
Chief amcng the happenings that
lead to the conclusion that Hub Ev'
ans will not soon be tried is the
committing of the sentence of John
Black, the chairman of the dispen-
sary board in the years following
Hub Evans regime.
That Governor Blease did moi
grant a full pardon to John Black
has been wondered a. in many OF the
papers of this State.
1t should be recalled, however
that when he was charged during the
campaign with the cry of "Blease viii
pardon the grafters," the present
governor issued a statement from
Newberry in which it was denied thai
he would pardon.
This, it is believed, Is the mair
reason the governor did not pardon
John Black. The commutation is re
garded as practically pardon in thu
view that the convicted man escapes
the prison, but in the eyes Of the Law
the person convicted admits guilt il
accepting a ommutation and thu
only further act that the governor
can later do is to resto to citizen
ship thus wiping out tn. stain Of no
voting or accepting any Office as pro
vided by the constitution.
The very object of the conviction
in the dispensary cases is to secur
punishment by Imprisonment as wa
announced in Judge Ernest Moore
sentencing of John Black. Whel
those who are convicted are eithe
to be pardoned or their sentence
commuted it is felt that 1t Is entail
ling unnecessary expense upon tn
county where trial is held and tax
ing up the time Of all persons IN
volved in the hearing of the case t.
no advantage.
For this reason, too, it is believe
that H. H. Evars will not be brough
to trial during the administration o
Governor Blease. Future events ma
change the situation but bet o
1000 to 1 might be taken on tn
probability that Hub" Evans ma
not soon be brought to trial.
