WOMAN STRUCK WITH AXE.
Probable Murderer Guarded to Pre-
vent Lynching by Mob.

Brownsville, Tenn, Oct. S.-Mrs.
Scrap Wilson, wife of local painter,
is in a dying condition tonight with
her head crushed from blow be-
tween the eyes inflicted with an axe
by Tom Kfhnon, a negro, this after
noon. The woman engaged in a des-
perate struggle with the negro before
he dealt her the blow, which will
probably cause her death.
Mrs. Wilson was alone with two
children, when the negro, who had
been seen prowling around. the
house, accosted her. When rebuked,
the black man grasped her. She
escaped his clutches and ran into the
yard. The negro followed, seized an
axe, struck the almost helpless wo-
man between the eyes and escaped to
the woods.
The oldest child ran to town, two
miles away, and spread the alarm. A
posse was organized and Kinnon was
captured three miles from the scene
of his crime. twenty-five special Of
fcers are guarding the jail tonight,
as a mob of over 100 men, who aid
ed in the capture, are demanding
vengeance.

Columbia, Oct. 9.-John J. Jones,
the Branchville attorney, convicted
several months ago on the charge of
killing Abe Pearlstine and sentenced
in the Orangeburg court to ten years
and 80 days has been at the State
penitentiary since conviction as a
detention prisoner. He has not been
mustered in as a convict. The records
show that his case has not been
filed with the supreme court for re-
view. The court meets next in No
vember. Should his appeal be filed
Immediately it would mean that an
opinion would not be rendered for
several months. His attorneys have
given no intimation as to what course

came before the governor for a par
don shortly after conviction. The
governor refused the pardon at that
time.

Bamberg is growing, and improv-
ing right along. A ride around town
shows new residences just complet-
sed and going up, while many others
have been remodeled and improved.
Others will remodel their homes as
soon as competent contractors can
be secured. The town is growing
faster than many people think, and
yet more houses are needed. There
is always a good demand for houses
by good people, and it is to be hop
ed that those who have money to in
vest will build houses for rent.

e. baseball bat into uncOnsciousness
yesterday afternoon about o'clock,

sLynch's Office this morning at about
s2:30 o'clock. Magistrate 0. S. Bald
win empanelled jury this morn
ing and held an inquest. The jury,
after hearing the evidence, rendered
the following verdict, that upon their
soaths "the said Robert B. Parrott
came to his death by being struck on
the head with a baseball bat at the
hands of Wallie Mcknight, or cut
with knives at the hands of Liston
Mcknight and Lexington Mcknight,
and so the jurors aforesaid do say
that the aforesaid Liston, Wallle and
Lexington Mcknight, in the manner
aforesaid, Robert B. Parrott, then
and there, feloniously and with NAL
ice of forethought, did kill, against
the peace and dignity of the State
aforesaid, and Daniel and Lonnie

and cut Robert B. Parrott &C IS his
chest, about one inch above the right
nipple and into the chest cavity;
there were also ten or twelve other
small cuts on his body.
While the cutting was in progress
it is charged that Wallie Mcknight

the skull with a baseball bat. The
McKnights are all brothers, living
near town, and have the reputation
of being desperate fighters and Of a
rowdy disposition. They have all
been arrested and are now in the

LINCOLN, Nov 6.-(Speclal )-That the
selection OF Edward +. Goltra as Mis-
souri, member Of the democratic national
committee win have some bearing upon
the nomination Of democratic presid,n-
tial candidate next year Is the belief OF
several prominent Nebraska Leaders OF

at which the, selection OF Mir, Gotta was
made there was present ex-Mayor +. w
Brown of this city, who is an uncle Of
Mr. Goltra. After his return from Kan

election to place on the national com
mittee is without doubt significant In
this connection he gave some interesting
history which brings out facts leading
to the opinion formed by the Nebraska
democrats
Mr.. Bryan and Atc Goltra were school
mates at Illinois college at Jacksonville.
ILL.,. as were their wives" said Mr. brown.
''rhey attended the ramo classes and

always been very cluFe friends and when
Mr.. Bryan was running lor the presi-
denoy Mr., Goltra. who Is very wealthy
and who Is one OF the hest known bust
ness mon IN ST. Louis, gave large con
trihutions TO the campaign funds. Even
though he disagreed with MIR. Bryan on
the sixteen TO ono doctrine. he never
thcless voted for him and supported him
in the fight which no made FOR election,
stories TO tho effect that ny Goltra
possessed liberal steel stock holdings are
false" further declared the local man
who r. conversant with the affairs Of hts
relative, Furthermore, Mr.. Goltra was
firm friend and close companion OF
Woodrow Wilson while the two were stu
dents together at Princeton. Since being
out In the world they have also become
more steadfast friends. rs far ab Har-
mon OF Ohio Is concerned. there is abso-
lutely no connection between that as
pirant and my nephew"
Mr. Brown also said that Mr.. Goltra
also favored Champ Clark in preference
to Ex-Governor Folk for the presidency,
although he favored Bryan first Of all.
