 Erwin Schurman was in from Oak Creek last week with produce from the Schurman ranch. Mr.. Shurman says that army worms destroyed one crop of alfalfa for him and caused the loss of veget- ables generally in that section. The fruit crop has been excep- tionally good, but difficult to handle, owing to the long haul. Next year it is probable that a small cannery will be put on their place to handle the surplus pro- duce.

Thought His Life in Danger.

Anderson, July 27.-Mistaking
that part of the initiation where fire.
arms are aourished and blank cart
ridges are exploded as meaning to do
him bodily harm, Furman Bagwell,
aged 21, candidate being Initiated
into the mysteries of the Woodmen
of the World, rushed from the lodge
room and snatched his pistol from his
coat hanging in the ante room, hur-
ried back into the lodge room and
fired three shots in rapid succession
at Milton Taylor, aged 26, who was
leading the degree team in the initia-
ton.
The first shot hit Taylor in the alb
domen, fearfully tearing the intes-
tines. The bullet hid itself in the
spinal column. The second buried
itself in the hip bone. The last shot
struck Taylor on the back of the
neck and glanced off.
This occurred in the Friendship
Lodge room, three miles northeast
of Honea Path last night. To-day
Taylor was brought to Anderson hos
pital and DR.. Sanders, the attending
physician, says tonight that his con-
dition is extremely critical and that
he fears peritonitis will set in.
Taylor was able to tell of the shoot
ing to-day after he came from under
the influence of an anaesthetic. He
says that he and Bagwell were warm
friends; that Bagwell became excited
and in the heat of excitement lost
his head and rushed for his pistol,
evidently thinking that he (Taylor)
meant to do him serious bodily harm.
Bagwell is a clerk in a store at
Honea Path and was at his post to-
day. He was married about two
months ago. Taylor's father said
to-day that prosecution of Bagwell
depended on whether or not his son
survived the wounds 1t is not like
ly that he will survive.

Heavy Loss by Fire.

Conway, July 26.-The large plant
of the Trexler Lumber company,
which is located at Allen, a station
on the Atlantic Coast Line Railway,
about 10 miles from here, was parti-
ally destroyed by fire Thursday after
noon entailing loss of 100000, par
TALLY covered by insurance.
Fire started about 3:45 in the saw
mill and burned fiercely for several
hours. The flames had spread rapid
ly into the fuel house, the boiler
house, and live rolls, which were con-
'sumed in short order. The flames
were rapidly making headway to 9TH
er parts of the plant when the Con-
way fire department, which had been
telephoned for, with the assistance
of the employees, saved the dry kilns
and planning mill, and thus preventing
further loss of 100000.
By 12 o'clock the flames were un-
der. control and all was quiet. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
1t is understood that the saw mill
will be rebuilt within few weeks,
when work will be resumed.

Bites Off WOman's Ear.

Dayton, KY, July 25.-Fireman
Harry Schaefer was probably fatally
scalded. Engineer Frank Gregory
was internally injured and woman
had her ear bitten off as the result
of an engine on the Chesapeake &
Ohio, hauling a car of Workmen,
leaving the track and turning turtle

pice overlooking the Ohio river at
Coal Haven, near here, late yesterday
afternoon.
The woman, whose name could not
be learned, was kneeling close to
Schaefer with a view to administer
ing aid to the injured man. His pain
was so great that he bit off her ear
She was hastened to doctors office
and then to her home, before her
name could be learned.
The cause of the accident is mys-
terry. The train was proceeding at
q rate of about so miles an hour
when the engine left the tracks.
Twenty-Five men were in the coach

GUILTY OF MURDER.
Claude Allen, the Hillsville Outlaw,
Must Suffer Extreme Penalty.

Wytheville, Va, July 27.-Claude
Allen, of the Hillsville outlaws. was
to-day convicted of murder in the
first degree for the killing of Com
monwealth's Attorney William NJ.
Foster. At a former trial he was
found guilty of murder in the Sec
ond degree for the killing of Judge
Thornton L. Massie.
He is the second one of the Allen
clan to be convicted of first degree
murder, his father, Floyd Allen, be-
ing the other.
The closing arguments of counsel
consumed the morning session OF
court to-day, and the case was given
to the jury when court re-convened
at 2:3O this afternoon. After dellD-
Grating an hour and half, the jurors
slowly filed back into the jury box
and the foreman announced their
verdict.
When he learned that he must pay
the penalty for his crime in the elec-
trio chair, the prisoner broke down
and wept bitterly, as did also his
fiancee, who was with him in the
court room. 1t was the first time he
had displayed the least sign of emo
ton since his trial began.
While the jury was considering its
verdict, Sidna Edwards, and Victor
and Friel Allen were brought into
the court room in order that mo-
ton might be made for change OF
venue. On motion Of the common
wealth, a venire of Is will be sum-
moned from Bedford county for the
next trial. The commonwealth also
wished to have the three remaining
cases consolidated, but the defense
would not agree, and it was decided
to try Friel Allen next. The trial
will begin August II and will be on
the indictment charging the murder
of William NJ. Foster-the same in
dictment upon which Claude and
Floyd Allen have been found guilty
of first degree murder.
Sentence was not passed on Claude
Allen in order that he may testify IN
the other cases.

Matron Flogs Pretty Girl.

Spartanburg, July 27.-Claiming
that she was enticed to the home of a
married woman at Cowpens, locked
in a room and given severe beating,
young single woman of Cowpens
appeared before Magistrate A. H..
Kirby and asked that warrant be
issued for the arrest of the matron
who chastised her. Magistrate Kir-
by referred the complainant to
Magistrate Potter, who lives at Cow
pens. 1t could not be learned to-day
whether Magistrate Potter granted
the warrant or not.
The Cowpens case, if true, is in
many respects like the whipping of
Essie Carter at Dawson, Ca, the only
difference being that the Georgia
woman was whipped at her own
home by white man, while the Cow
pens woman was whipped by a wo-
man who is charged with having ad-
ministered the fogging.
According to the story told by the
woman who appealed to Magistrate
Kirby for a warrant, jealousy is said
to have been the cause of the fog
ging. The accuser said the young
married woman became intensely
Jealous of her and enticed her to her
home, and, after locking all the
doors, beat her up. She also charged
that the young matron seized a bot
tie of turpentine and threatened to
pour the fluid on her.
1t is said that the town authorities
took notice of the affair by making
out a charge of disorderly conduct
against the married woman and i'm
posed a fine on her.
