TWO WHITES KILLED
BY HUNTED NEGRO
Three Others Badly Wounded by
Hampton Fugitive Attempted
Assault Charged.
on Way to Scene of Tragedy,

Hampton, May 1.-Two white
men are dead and four others SER
iously wounded, as the result OF at
tempts to capture a negro, Richard
Austin, who is charged with having
attempted to criminally assault the
wife or prominent citizen of the
Luray section of this county, about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The dead are j. Frank Bowers, a
prominent farmer of the Luray sec
ton, and Magistrate Edenfield OF

ing chance for recovery.
SURROUNDED IN SWAMP.
The killings took place while the
negro was surrounded in bay,
thick with underground, from which
he fired at his pursuers. 1t Is stat
ed that about twenty shots were
exchanged.
About o'clock last night 1t was
reported that the fugitive had
broken through the line formed by
the posse and had escaped.
Governor Blease % was communi-
Gated with about 10 O'Clock and it
is understood here that he promised
to rush bloodhounds to the scene by
special train.
The negro, apparently, had pre-
pared himself for the consequences
of his alleged act by arming him
self with a shotgun, with a sack of
buckshot shells and a large caliber
pistol.
POSSE STARTS IN PURSUIT.
When the news of the affair
reached the ears of the citizens of
the little town of Luray, (such news
spreads like wild fire throughout
the county, a large body of armed
men went Immediately in pursuit of
Austin. The negro was surrounded
In a large bay, which was covered
with water and in which the under
growth was very thick. In search
ing the bay the negro opened fire on
the pursuers with the result above
mentioned.
Up to this writing, the body of
Mr.. Bowers, who was killed during
the first part of the shooting, has
not fbeen recovered from the bay,
e%-S his brother, who was at his side
ing the shooting, states positive
ly that he is dead.
DR.. Moore, another of the pur-
suers, was shot with a shotgun with
buckshot by the negro, the load
taking effect in his arm and cheek.
McTeer Bowers, at first cousin of
the dead man, was shot in the arm
with a pistol. The wound is not
looked upon as being fatal
George Hanna was shot in the
back by the negro, and his wound
Is not looked upon as fatal.
The deputy sheriff of the county
was notified and left Hampton in an
automobile with posse, which was
pressed into service by him imme-
diately upon receipt of the news.

TWO ARRESTED FOR
MURDER OF LEWIS
Rock Hill Negro is Used as Tool tn
run Down Most Revolving Crime
Chester County Has Recorded in
Years

Chester Special to Columbia
State, May 1.-Dave Davis and his
wlfe, Anna Davis, negroes, both
aged 20, were arrested early this
morning at their home near Corn
well, Chester county, on strong cir
cumstantial evidence and likewise
on the charge of another reliable
negro, Buster Shealy, aged 10. of
the atrocious crime of the murder
ing or John Lewis, wealthy planter
and recluse, Thursday night. They
were captured by Sheriff CoIvin
Deputy Sheriff Bindeman and two
detectives sent here by Governor
Biease on the eve of their departure.
Their grips had been packed and I'm
Few hours they would have been
miles away. All three Of the ne
groes were put in Jail this morning
about IL o'clock, the Davis negroes
aeny any implication in the tragedy,
put Sheaiy, the material witness,
says that they know all about il.
A Rock Hill negro was one of tho
main tools used by the local author
lties to unearth the evidence against
the alleged murderers. There ia
absolutely no doubt in the mind of
Sherin Colvin about the guilt of the
parties. 1t is thought that Dave
Davis did the killing with the de-
ceaseds own shot gun and then
cleaned it out.
Anna Davis, it is said. is so bitter
toward Buster Shealy that If she
could get hands on him death would
result. She is walking up and
down the steel cage in the jail yerit-
ably foaming with anger.
Sherin Colvin has taken special
precaution to avoid any danger OF
the negroes being removed from the
jan by mob. The feeling in the
Cornwell section is said to be ex-
tremely bitter toward the murder
ers and what actions might be taken
py these people is not being over
looked by the sheriff. The inouest

London, May 1.-The determined

RAID yesterday upon the headuuar-
ters OF the Women's Social and Po-
htical Union with the arrest of six

the London press. The Standard
calls 1t the doom of the militants."
An attempt probably will be
made to re-establish the Women's
Social and Political Union else
where, probably under another
name. If so, the people must make
another raid and continue the pro-
cess until the whole fabric of mill
fancy is shattered. To keep the
milltants on the run is the surest
way to extinguish their activity. The
vitality of militancy, which has
ceased to have any real connection
with the vote, has lost the sympathy
of the great mass of suffragists and
cannot survive the destruction of it's
organization"
