Girls Father Stopped Lynching.

Spring Hill, Nov. 25.-To save the
name of Kansas a father prevented
the lynching Of negro who had at
tackled his defenders daughter.
While Clarence Davis, a young ne
gro, sat shackled to chair In a pool
hall, 200 men who had captured him
for an attempted assault on Ruth
Fike, Ia years old, argued the ques-
tion Of taking the law into their own
hands. Twenty speeches were made.
At last tall farmer pulled the ne
gro towards the door and cried:
Come on boys; we'll burn the
scoundrel at the stake
Willing hands dragged the negro
to the street. At this juncture j..
A. Fike, father of the girl attacked,
arrived. Pushing aside the mob he
reached the negro's side. Address
ing himself to the crowd he declar-
ed the men must disperse and let
the law take its course.
''This is undoubtedly the man who
attempted vicious crime on my
daughter" he said, "but Judge
Lynch does not live in civilized Kan
sas any more. To burn this fellow
to death will only scandalize the
country. Let the law take its
course"
After a conference the mob turn
ed the negro over to Fike who took
him to the sheriff.

Hampton Negro Still at Large.

Hampton, Nov. 22.-Dave Rivers,
or Dave Williams, the negro who is
alleged to have attempted criminal
assault upon a young white girl near
Hampton yesterday, and who has
been sought by several posses since
the news spread, is still at large. 1t
is reported that the negro was seen
at Broxton Bridge, about eight miles
from the scene of the attempted as
sault, early this morning and pos
Sc has been sent to that section.
Mr.. J. Reid Fits, of Hampton, who
was shot by the negro yesterday when
the party was making search near
the scene, is resting quietly to-day,
and his wounds are not thought to be
serious. He is attended by Drs. J.
L. Folk, c. A. Rush and j. B. Har-
vey. AS stated in yesterdays dis
patches, Mr.. Fits was shot by the
negro, who was hiding in clump of
bushes. 1t was thought that the ne
gro was we'll surrounded in bay
near here last night, but search to-
day revealed the fact that he had
made his escape during the night,
or had never been trapped as was
supposed. .
It is said that diligent search will
be kept up until the negro is caught.

TEACHER TELLS HER STORY.
Calmly Relates to Jury Details Of
Humiliating Affair.

Lincoln Center, Kan, Nov. 21.-
| This was Mary Chamberlain day in
court, in the ''tar party case. Fac
ing three of the men accused of COM
plicity in attacking her, on road
north of Shady Bend the night of
! November II, she told in a court
room of her terrifying experience.
She gave a coherent narrative OF
the episode in low, even voice. Not
once did she lose her self-control;
neither did she speak with any feel
| ing against any of the defendants.
Throughout the time she was ques-
toned she addressed the jury. On
| cross her story was un-
| shaken.
The girls examination lasted about
half an hour. With the completion
of her testimony the State rested its
case. The defense Immediately be-
gan examination of its witnesses.
Ten had been questioned when ad-
| journment was taken tonight.
1t was not the freshness Of Miss
Chamberlain's story that held the in
terest of the throng, for she told lit
| tie that was not known. Her narra-
| tive set forth how Edward Ricord, a
villaged barber, decoyed her to the
country on the pretense of going to
| dance, his insults and their decis-
ion on her demand to return home;
how when they had gone short dis
tance a party of five masked men
dragged her from the buggy while
Ricord hid; the subsequent pouring
of tar on her body by a man, while
the others rubbed it in with their
hands; how from this experience she
became almost unconscious from
fright and shame, and later awoke
to find herself being driven home by
the barber and how the tar clung to
her body for days. She said she fail
ed to recognize any of her assailants.
The different viewpoint of the plain
tiffs and defendants regarding the
case stood out plainly, when the de-
fence offered the testimony of James
Booze, q few minutes after Miss
Chamberlain had finished her dra-
matte story.
Booze started for the "tarring,' "
| but did not reach there.
"Why did you wish to go?" he
was asked by Prosecutor McCanless.
''I just wanted to see the fun" he
replied.
by fun, you mean the process Of
putting tar on Miss Chamberlain?'
"Yes."
Booze is under arrest, but not on
trial now. The three defendants
now before the court are Sheriff.

BEATTIE BABY NOT NAMED.
Parents of Murdered Wife Fear Lest
Child Later Learn Awful Story.

Dover, Del, Nov. 24.-The family
into which Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
married-the R. V. Owens-did not
permit the execution morning OF
their son-in-law to break in upon
their daily routine.
News of the electrocution of young
Beattie was flashed to Mr.. Owen,
who is manager of a large plant here,
but he declined to say anything about
the tragedy that began with his
daughters murder and ended with
the legal, yet. violent, death of his
son by marriage.
OF the Beattie's baby, however, Mr..
Owen talked. The child is six months
old, but it has not been named yet;
and the underlying fear that goes far
toward marking out the tots daily
life is.that some day it will hear Of
it's parents tragic fate.
my wife," said Mr.. Owen, was
naturally much wrought up after the
death of our daughter and our doctor
told us it would be better for her to
care for the child and relieve her
mind. We brought the baby to Do
yer and it is with us now. We will
keep it and rear it,
The child is well and receives
much attention from the members of
the family and intimate friends of
the Owens.
"Is that so? I am glad he made a
clean breast of it," declared Mr..
Owen, when told that Beattie had
confessed the crime and asked for
giyeness. "He was convicted on cir
cumstantial evidence, and this fact
left a doubt in the minds of some
people. His confession satisfies our
minds and clears up the case and to
that extent I feel a sense of relief. I"

Nero Probably in Colleton.

Fairfax, Nov. 22.-The posse
which has been chasing the negro
Dan Rivers since yesterday for an
attempted assault on little white
girl, and wounding of a prominent
citizen a few miles east of this town,
has now dwindled down to about Is
men. Reliable information has just
been received here from one who has
returned from the scene that the ne
gro is about to be located in Colleton,
and while it is thought that he will
be captured by morning, it it not like
ly that he will be lynched.

NO TRACE OF BANDIT.
Probably $4,000 Secured in Regis
tered Mail at Columbia.

Columbia, Nov. 25.-Interest cen
tres in the identity of the bandit who
held up and robbed the mail car on
Coast Line train No. 55, at the city
limits last night at midnight. No
clue to the robber has been obtained,
although detectives are on his trail
and every effort is being made to ap-
prehend him.
The fact that the robbery was pull
ed OFF right at the city limits leads
the. authorities to believe that the
robber is an old, cool hand at the
business. That he was acquainted
with the road and knew that it was
the schedule to send good amount
OF coih in over that line last night
is evident, and it is, stated here to-
day that the amount he obtained in
registered mail was around 100000
and some estimate the loss at $780,
600. 1t Us said that the money was
being forwarded here for the cotton
buyers.
How it Was Done.
The robbery occurred just at the
city limits. ! Coast Line train No. IS
had passed the block at Registers and
was heading into the city, when the
masked man lentered the mail car and
commanded the mail clerk, H. l..
Meredith, and his negro helper, B.
L. Dreher, to throw up their hands.
He then reached over and grabbed
the registered mail pouches, which
were in sacks consigned to Columbia,
and still keeping the men covered
with his gun, pulled the emergency
cord, bringing the train to q stand
still, he, however, escaped before the
train stopped. The train proceeded
into the city, where the robbery was
reported, and, although bloodhounds
were taken at once to the scene,
NO trail was srtuck.
Gregory on Bandits Trail.
Mr.. Meredith went out on his re-
turn run to Wilmington this morn
ing, and, according to his schedule,
will return here Monday night. Pos
tai inspectors are expected here
shortly and then a report on the rob-
berry will be made. It is thought
that Inspector H. T. Gregory, the
well known and fearless postof1ce in
spector, might come here and take
charge of the investigation into this
case.
= Beyond the fact that the man was
white, was masked and wore large
coat, no accurate description of the
robber has been obtained. He is said
/. to be slimly built, but this is a mat
, ter of mere supposition.
Fuitless Search for Sacks.
The robber left the train at the
corner of Sumter and Whaley
streets, and, thinking that he might
have cut the canvas mail sacks and
thrown them aside after leaving the
train, a search over the whole spot
was made this morning, but no evil
dence nor sight of the sacks was
found, No clue at all has been OBJ
tanned
The boldness of the affair right in
the outskirts of the city and within
a stones throw of the union station,
tire robber venturing into the very
jaws Of the police, made the whole
city gasp when it awoke this morn
ing and learned of the robbery.
Such affairs have been read of in
the West and other sections, but no
one dreamed that it would happen
in the Capital City of South Caro-
lima. The very nerve of the perpe-
traitor of the deed is amazing and at
the same time excites ones admira-
ton.
Interesting developments in this
matter are expected shortly.

Well, when we returned from dinner
today we found the office boy had put

what he was reading. This is what h,

there was nothing like what he ha
