Same Mule Killed His Father.

Lexington, June 26.-News reach
ed Lexington to-day of the death last
night of Gus Bouknight, a young
farmer of the Chaplin section of this
county, death resulting from injuries
sustained by being thrown from a
mule. A strange coincidence in con-
nection with the death of the young
man is the fact that his father, Jno.
Bouknight, was injured in a runaway
last fall by being thrown from a bale
of cotton, the same mule being hitch
ed to the wagon that threw Gus
Bouknight on Saturday. The father
fingered a few days, when death
came as a relief to his suffering.
Gus Bouknight was about 80 years
of age, and, besides his wife and
child, is survived by his aged mother
and several brothers and sisters.

DRAGGED BY RUNAWAY MULE.
Younp Farmer Near Little Mountain
Dies from Injuries.

Little Mountain, June 26.-T. A.
Bouknight, young farmer, who liv-
ed near here, died last night from in
juries received in being thrown from
mule Saturday morning. He was
starting to the field and was riding a
spirited young mule and carrying a
sack of peas. The sack became un-
tied and the rattling of the peas on
the ground frightened the mule. Mr..
Bouknight was thrown, and in fall
ing his foot was entangled in the
reins. He was dragged for distance,
being considerably bruised about the
chest and head. 1t is thought that
death resulted from concussion of
the brain.
Mr.. Bouknight leaves wife and
child.

cinnati Club Man Explained.

Cincinnati, June 25.-The bodies
of Anna KEGS and Albert ]. Handl-
man, who have been missing since
Thursday night, were found in the
Ohio river near this city to-day. Miss
Kees was young actress, known on
the stage as Bonnie Hampton. Handl-
man was a prominentyoung club man
and athlete of this city. Handlman
took Miss KEGS out for ride in his
launch Thursday night and the dis
appearance of the young couple was
not known until Saturday, when Miss
Kees mother reported the absence of
her daughter to the police. The
young people had been friends for
years, and it was believed they had
eloped, but the finding of Handl-
mans overturned launch resulted in
searching parties dragging the river.
The bodies were found clasped to-
gether near the wreck of the launch.
It is believed the launch struck a
coal barge and upset.

FOUND FALSE WEIGHTS.
Customers are Defrauded by Short
Weights and False Measures.

Columbia, June 26.-Because con-
ditions here are probably typical of
those prevailing all over the State, a
startling report made by experts from
the federal bureau of standards, fol-
lowing secret investigation here in
April, has Statewide interest, as
showing how general weights and
measures in use are short and how
effectually, if innocently, consumers
are defrauded.
One butter print out of forty one
tested was found within three per
cent. of being full weight. Condi-
tions are generally condemned as
every bad"
Only half the forty scales tested
were correct within three per cent
Ten per cent. of all the scales tested
were short weighing customers by
more than twelve per cent. Spring
dial scales were especially off.
Scale weights ran 81 per cent. cor
rect within three per cent. Beans
peas, and such commodities were gen
orally sold by liquid measure, con
sumers thus defrauded at the start tc
extent OF fourteen per cent, butter
prints averaged about one ounce III
the pound short. Out of twenty-nine
packages of rice and sugar, SO pei
cent. were short weight. The city
council will take steps to remedy the
matter at once, probably by adopt
ing strict ordinances and employing
capable inspectors.

MAKES NOSE FROM RIB.
Surgeon Performs Remarkable Op
Grafton at Reno.

Reno, New, June 21.-A most re-
markable operation was performed
in this city by DR.. Larus Robinson.
A young woman was suffering
from disease of the nose, which had
eaten away both nasal bones, leav-
ing a hole through the soft portion.
The operation consisted in chiseling
a bench for the reception of new osse-
Gus matter. One of the woman's
ribs was taken away and the halves
were used in place of the nasal
bones.
It is thought that the operation
will be a success. The only other
case on record of similar nature
was performed in New York city and
was pronounced by the surgical world
as miracle.

Is thsre to be a scandal in con-
nection with the recent adoption OF
text books by the State board OF
education? Wholesale changes were
made, and Superintendent of Educa-
tion Swearingen is not pleased with
the adoption. The matter of school
books is a heavy burden on the peo-
ple, and so many changes does not
have nice appearance. We trust
that the whole matter will be thor
oughIy ventilated.

Charged With Embezzlement.

Aiken. June 24.-Sheriff Raborn
left this morning for Toronto, ONO
to bring back to Aiken county B. F
Mulligan, of Langley, who is charged
with embezzling about $1,000 from
HAMPTON lodge, No. 30, Independent
Order of Odd Fellows. Mulligan was
arrested on Friday. He left Langley
several days ago, and some time after
his departure it became known that
practically all of the funds of the
lodge were gone. The lodge was IN
fourishing financial condition, and
Mulligan was treasurer. The matter
was kept quiet by the officers in the
hope of surprising Mulligan, and it
seems that the scheme worked as he
was caught without even the offer OF
a reward.
Muligan was considered trust
worthy officer. He is a member of a
number of other secret orders, and
was ex-insurance deputy for the
Woodmen of the World, was cotton
buyer for the Langley Manufacturing
company until lately when he en-
gagged in mercantile business, and
held a number of responsible posi-
tions. A short time ago, however,
his mercantile business was forced
into bankruptcy.
The funds of the lodge. were de-
posted in the Merchants bank OF
Augusta. There was about $1,40O
on deposit on interest. In addition
there should have been s140 in Null
ligan's possession. The interest due
would have carried the amount to
practically $1,000. A few days ago
Mulligan and his wife left for Hamp-
ton county. They were to remain
there a short time and then go to
Charleston to conduct a boarding
house. 1t was presumed they were
in Charleston until the shortage was
found when investigation failed to
find them. 1t happened that Mrs. G.
w. Stratton, of Toronto, formerly re-
sided near Mulligan's home at Lang
ley and knew him. A few days ago
she wrote a friend at Langley that
she had seen Mulligan, his wife and
son in Toronto. The matter was re-
ported to the officers, and the arrest
subsequently made.
The once prosperous lodge now has
on hand the sum of $1,000. 1t means
almost the ruin of the lodge unless
the money is recovered. Mulligan
was bonded for $500. He was few
years ago plaintiff in an action
against the Southern railway for fail
ing to connect their trains at a juno
ton. This suit was widely talked of,
being in the nature of a test case,
which was only recently ended in the
court.
1t is expected that Sheriff Raborn
will return Wednesday. He went by
the governors Office to secure the
necessary papers in case Mulligan re-
cictc oYtraditiOn

KILLS FELLOW CONVICT.
Colleton Prisoner Stays Another il
the State Penitentiary.

Columbia, June 27.-J. w. Mes
servey, white man serving term
of twenty years in the penitentiary
for manslaughter, committed in Col
Teton county, yesterday afternoon
killed Vance Clanton, negro, serv.
ing a life sentence from Darlington
county. Messervey killed the negro
with a shovel. He claims that the
other convict attempted to kill him
with a knife, and he has two severe
cuts, one just above the heart and
the other on the left arm.
Messervey and Clanton were alone
at the time, being employed in clean
ing the basement, which is used as a
barber shop. Messervey states that he
was holding the shovel while Clanton
was sweeping litter into it, when
without warning, the negro attacked
him with the knife. To defend him:
self, he claims, he struck with the
shovel, and, with several blows, he
killed Clanton. Superintendent Grif.
fifth gave out Messervey's statement
of the affair. The matter will be in
vestigated further by the penitentiary
authorities and by the coroner Of
Richland county.
Messervey was convicted in Collie.
ton county about two years ago OF
manslaughter, on an Indictment fol
murder in the killing of Constable
Fishburne, who had undertaken tt
seize some liquor which MesserveJ
had in his possession. The killing
caused great deal of feeling in Col
Teton county and there was talk Of
violence toward Messervey at the
time. Fishburne was an cid man.
