Woman Breaks Up Outing.

Atchison, Kan, June 9.-With the
use of a rifle and her strong arm,
Mrs. Tillie MCGOWAN, a temperate
advocate, broke up picnic at which
beer was being served near here.
Mrs. MCGOWAN was passing the pic
mic grounds when one of the "keg
party" knowing her temperance SEN
timents, chidingly invited her to have
drink. She accepted a cup of the
beer, intending to take it away to
use as evidence against the merry
makers.
One of the men said she would
have to drink the beer or give it up.
She answered by picking up a stone
and striking the man over the eye
with it. The man grappled with
her and in the struggle his face was
scratched and his shir torn.
Mrs. MCGOWAN then secured a rifle
and chased one of the party into the
Missouri river, firing a shot at him,
but missing him. Finally she let the
man swim ashore and apologize. His
companions had fed.

Girls Stories Conflicting.

New York, June 9-Prosecution
of the two women who shot w. E.
D. Stokes, the millionaire proprietor
of the Hotel Ansonia, will be begun
as soon as Mr.. Stokes's condition
enables him to appear against them.
His attorney reiterated this state
ment to-day in reply to rumors that
the case might be dropped.
At the hospital Mr.. Stokes was re-
ported as improving. 1t will be sew
eral days, however, before he is past
the danger of blood poisoning. Mean
while the women accused, Miss Lii
lian Graham and Miss Ethel Conrad,
will be held to await examination.
At the present the police are some
what at sea owing to the conflicting
stories told by the principals in
Wednesday nights shooting. Each
young woman insisted that she alone
fired the shots that struck Stokes.
Miss Conrad said the wounded
man came to their apartment look
ing for her. Miss Graham says that
she had engaged a lawyer several
days ago to sue the millionaire for
defamation of character.

School Teacher Shot by Chinese.

: Bangor, Me-, June "a confes-
sion that he had shot Miss Christine
Shaw at Orono last night was made
to-day, the police say, by T. S. Linn.
He is Chinese student at the Uni
versity of Maine, who was arrested
Immediately after four revolver
shots, one of which took effect, had
been fired at the young woman on
Orono street. At the hospital in
this city to which she was taken, it
was stated to-day that she would re-
cover.
Linn is alleged to have told the
sheriff in the presence of several
newspaper men that he shot Miss
Shaw because she had caused him
mental torture" He said he had
known Miss Shaw, who is graduate
of the University Of Maine and a
teacher in the Orono High School,
for four years, and two years ago
asked her to marry him. She re-
fused but they had been on friendly
terms since that time.
Miss Shaw had done much to as
sist Linn in his work at the uni
versity, and from his statement to-
day it was evident the sheriff said,
that he had misinterpreted her kind
ness.

Pathetic Case in Aiken.

Aiken, June IA very pathetic
case has been reported by the police.
A woman, Kittie Clark, whose mind
is said to be unsound, has been beg
ging on the streets for money to sus-
tain the actual needs of herself and a
little baby, which she carries with
her. She is entirely homeless. She
finally secured enough money to go
to Talatha,, where she has some rela-
tives. The young woman was once
an inmate of the county poor house,
when a man induced her to marry
him and leave the institution. She
was married to the man and went
away with him. She now says that
he mistreated her and finally turned
her and her baby out of their home
in Georgia. She is now sick and in
a pitiable condition.

Lintless Cotton Produced.

Bullochville, Ca, June 81. J.
Strarahan, superintendent of the
Cold Springs Station of the United
States Department of Fisheries at
this place, has perfected, he says,
through experiments carried on for
the past four years, practically lint
less cotton plant

in this line is to secure a larger plant
bearing bolls filled with larger seed
which will be much richer in oil than
the regular plant.
In the course of ten years Mr..
Stranahan expects to produce cot
ton plant that will yield 100 bushels
of clean seed to the acre.

Declined to Pardon Bingham.

A mothers pitiful plea was turned
down late Wednesday by Gov. Blease
when he refused to pardon G. c.
Bigham, the young Georgetown. doc
tor, who, with W. B. Avant, his close
friend, was convicted at the fall term
of court in 1909, of the killing OF
young Mrs. Bigham, and each SEN
fenced to term of three years and
half in the State penitentiary, both
Bigham and Avant escaping from the
community and being still at large.
This is the second petition present
ed to the governor, this, however, be-
ing the first formal petition. When it
was sought some time ago to have
Avant pardoned, Gov. Blease said
that before he would consider the pa
pers even, the man would have to
be in the hands of the law. He takes
the same position with regard to
Bigham.
A card is attached with the peti-
ton, this card being not admitted as
evidence at the trial. The card ad-
dressed to DR.. G. C. Bigham from his
wife while she was visiting her rela-
tives in Laurens county just prior to
the killing reads as follows:
Look for me tomorrow, Friday,
Will be there sure. Am just wild to
see you. RUTH"
Senator Tillman wrote the follow
ing letter under date of March 80,
1911, from Trenton:
Mrs. L. S. Bigham, 507 Buncomb
Street, GreeAville, S. C.
My Dear Madam: I have your let
ter of March 27. There is mistaken
impression going the rounds that
have become influential with the gov
ernor in the matter of pardons. I
presume this is due to the desire of
the newspapers to couple Gov. Blease
and myself together. I have asked
for only one pardon and that was for
a white boy at Clemson, whose STEP
father, according to the boys story,
was whipping his mother and he shot
him.
remem Der your husband very
pleasantly in the days that are past
and would be glad to help you. I will
take pleasure in signing a petition
for your son, if you will send it to
me. I think Avant the guilty man
and ought to be punished.
Very sincerely yours,
B. R. TILLMAN.

WONIAN'S HAIR IN FLAMES.
Spark from Electrical Massage Ap-
paratus Causes Odd Accident.

Miss Dorothy Gibb, the daughter
OF the late Arthur Gibb, who was
head of the firm of Frederick Loese1
& Co., of Brooklyn, is recovering in
the New York hospital from severe
burns she sustained while having
her hair dressed in downtown hair
dressing establishment. Her escape
from more serious injuries was con-
sidered remarkable.
Miss Glib visited the shop accom-
panied by her mother, who stood near
her while the hairdresser worked.
The dresser used an electrical ap-
paratus. Suddenly there was a sharp
explosion, and spark darted from
the machine into Miss Gibbs hair.
In a moment her hair burst into
fame.
Miss Gibb cried out in pain, and,
blinded by the smoke and fame about
her, tried in vain to beat out the
fire with her hands. The hairdress-
er fell back and rushed around in
search of something to stifle the
flames. Mrs. Glib alone had sufici-
ent presence of mind to tear off the
heavy fur stole she was wearing and
to throw it over her daughters head,
muf1ing the flames beneath it and
beating them out.
Both mother and daughter were
hysterical, and at first it was thought
Miss Gibb had been dangerously in
jured. She was driven in an auto
mobile with her mother to the New
York hospital. There it was found
that her injuries consisted of minor
burns about the hands and slight
burn on the left shoulder, but much
of her hair had been burned away.
It was said at the hospital that the
accident will probably not leave any
scar, and that Miss Glib will be able
to leave the hospital in few days.
Her mother is ill from the shock at
her home-New York Times.

Commission Stands Firm.

The dispensary commission, over
the protest of one of it's members,
Mr.. F. H. Domipick, of Newberry,
has paid the members of the former
commission witness fees for attend
ing the session of the new commits
sion Tuesday when the vouchers of
the old commissioners were produced.
There was considerable argument
about the paying of the witness fees
to the commissioners who were sum-
moned here to bring the vouchers.
Every member of the old commission
appeared.
Mr.. A. N. Wood of the old commits
sion put in bill for three days be-
cause of his visit here. He was cut
down to one day by the commission.
Mr.. Dominick went on record as
opposing the payment of the witness
fees.
The new dispensary commission
stood by it's guns when it forwarded
to the attorney general letter in
which it adheres to it's former action
in connection with the employment
of counsel and other things referred
to in it's recent letter to the attorney
general.
"Columbia, S. c., June Z, 1911.
tHon. J. Fraser Lyon, Attorney
General, S. C.
.tDear Sir: We are in receipt of
your letter of the fourth instant, and
upon consideration of same we are
more firmly convinced of the pro-
priety of our action, which is fully set
forth in our last communication to
you, and we are satisfied that the
interests of the State will be best
subserved by our former action. We
shall, therefore, adhere to what we
have already communicated to you as
to the course we shall pursue"
The Bank of Bishopville, having
been made a State depository, will
receive $4,000 of the $4,000 fund
over which the State treasurer would
not countersign checks to go in banks
other than State repositories. The
Newberry bank named by the COM
mission will get it's $4,000, being al
ready a State depository, and the
Palmetto National bank, local in
stitution, will retain $4,000.
The funds are moved from the Ma
tional Loan and Exchange, where,
according to the commissions state
ment, embodied in a resolution, they
were on deposit without interest.
The money is now to draw 4 per
cent. The new commission wished
to have the money draw interest.

John Bullock is anxious for a speedy trial in the charge of trying to defraud the government in securing the coal contract for Alaska in the year 1908 The coal per ton to the government during those days was not so very much higher than what was asked for it here in Nome. where lighter facilI- ties were far superior to what they were at Fort Davis.
