 rumor in the Turko- Italian war but as to what has actually taken place ]. or is taking place there is the deepest mystery. The strictest censorship is being exercises by the Italian govern ment and no official information has been given out either at Rome or If is EeneralIy believed that Tripoli has fallen and that the Italians are in possession of that port but, with the only cable in the hands of Italian lauthorffies and the telegraph service utterly disorganized. it is impossible to learn any details. There is a re- port from Turkish sources, today, that the Italian cruiser Conte Di Cavour had been blown up by sub marine mine in Tripoli harbor but 1t was subsequently, learned that the cruiser named was not with the fleet that attacked Trfpoli. It is thought the error may be merely in the name.
 Even more mysterious are the |movemento of the Italian squadron in the Aegean Sea. From fConstanti- nople and Athens come reports of a treat naval engagement in which the Turkish fleet was destroyed. Myster- ious cannonadings have been heard from various points along the Grecian coast and. according to one account, the Italian4, attempted landing at Prevesa but were repulsed with logs of IS men.
 The only thing certain about the 'Turkish fleet is that since the war bee gan no one has known where it has been or what doing.
 Apparently Turkey is determined to play q waiting game. The Porte believes that the European powers will be forced to intervene if the present situation continues much longer. It seems satisfied that Italy win not be allowed to Ian da force in European Turkey

ANOTHER TRIAL FOR CHILDERS
Jury Fails to Agree in Georgia Wife
Poisoning Case.

Leesburg, Ca, Nov. 10.-A mis-
trial resulted in the case of Mort S:
Childers, charged with killing his
wife by administering poison, when
the jury reported late to-day that they
were unable to reach verdict after
considering the evidence. The case
now goes over to the May term of
court, but it-was stated that counsel
for Childers will make application for
the release of the prisoner on bond.
By order of the court, Robert Ken
nedy, former sweetheart of the
dead woman, and also charged with
her murder, was released after be-
ing held in jail two months. The
grand jury adjourned without taking
any action on his case.
1t is reported unoficially that the
Childers jury stood eight to four for
conviction. Scores of residents of the
county became involved in the trials
and it is believed a change of venue
will be asked for before the case
again comes to trial.

SURROUNDED IN SWAMP.
Florida Mob May Lynch Assailant of
Wounded Officer.

Tampa, Florida, Nov. 10.-Sur-
rounded in a hammock head one
mile from Plant City, an unknown
negro, who early this morning shot
and fatally wounded City Marshal R.
E.. Yates and Convict Guard Andrew
Garner, is menaced by an armed band
of 200 infuriated citizens, who are
waiting for dawn to prosecute the
work of capture. If either of the ne
gro's victims dies during the night
it is almost certain that he will be
lynched.
* Marshal Yates had arrested the ne
gro on suspicion this morning at .
o'clock. The black was carrying a
suit case. which the officer insisted on
examining. When the case was opened
the negro snatched a large calibre
revolver and held the marshal at bay,
backing away and finally taking to
his heels. Yates gave chase and was
joined by Garner. Bloodhounds were
pressed into use and cornered the ne
gro in a thick swamp. He killed two
of the dogs and when the officers
came up shot both of them. Garner
staggered to nearby farm house and
gave the alarm and posse was form
ed.

asleep on their arms at the local ar

he sees no necessity for sending them

A NEGRO ROBBED.
Says White Man Took His Watch at
the Point of Pistol.

On Saturday afternoon John
Thomas, colored, swore out warrant
for Earl Pearsall, young white man
of near Saluda, for highway robbery.
Thomas claims that as he was going
along the road just the other side or
J. 3. Foy's he heard summons to
halt and that he stopped his horse
and Earl Pearsall got out of his bug
gy with a pistol in his hand and came
10 the buggy in which he was sitting
and asked him if he had any money:
He says that he told Pearsall that ne
did not and that he was then search
ed, and that Pearsall, failing to lind
any money, took his watch. He claims
that he expostulated with Pearsall,
and that he was told that he would
be given load instead of his watch
back. That afternoon he came to
town and swore out warrant.
Pearsall, who was accompanied by
Watt McCarty, was in town Monday
and made the statement, along with
McCarty, that he bought the watch
from Thomas for Atty cents. 1t is
likely that the case will not come up
and that nothing will be done about
it. as the negro was unaccompanled
and has no witnesses, while he has
the words of two white men against
him.-Saluda Standard.

DESCRIBES MOB's BRUTALITY.
Story by Witness at Trial
= of Mexican Boys Lynchers.

Cameron, Texas, Nov. 10.-Revoit-
ing scenes attending the lynching OF
Fernando Gomez, a Mexican lad, at
Thorndale, Texas, last June, were de-
scribed in court to-day by Alfred Will
son, first witness called in the trial
of u. T. Gore, Jr., charged with par
ticipation ip the murder.
Wilson testified that he was guard
ing the boy, Gomez, after the Mexi-
can had been arrested on the charge
of having stabbed to death Charles
Zietung, a garage keeper. Gore and
three other men, the witness said,
took the lad from him by force.
One Of the four men,, according to
the witness, dragged away Gomez af-
ter a trace chain had been fastened
about the neck Of the young Mexi-
can. The man who dragged the boy
away, Wilson testified, was on horse
back, and took a half hitch about the
poplmel of his saddle with the chain.
Some distance away, according to
Wilson, the horseman stopped amidst
a crowd. Numbers of men in this
moo, Wilson said, kicked the prone
and half conscious form of the youth,
inflicting bruises about the trunk,
head and face; then Gomez was
hanged to a telephonApole.

ENGINEERS CLOSE CALL.
Driving Rod Crashes Into Cab and

Il Florence, Nov. 10. - Engineer
Marion Brandt, of the Coast Line,
had very narrow escape from "the
last call" Monday morning, when the
driving red of his engine broke and
smashed through the cab, striking
the seat he was sitting on.
The accident happened between
Floyds and Hartsville. He was go
ing at lively clip, about twenty
miles an hour, when the drivirr
wheel became damaged and the ="
broke. The end of the broken . d
smashed through the cab like through
a paper house, and crushed the seat
into splinters. Mr.. Brandt was stun
ned by the shock, and does not know
whether he jumped or was knocked
from his seat, or whether his "guardi-i
an angel" lifted him out of harms
way, he only knows that he did not
get killed and that the hurts he re-
ceived are not dangerous.
