HORSE LEAVES BRIDGE.
Young Men of Dillon Are Almost
Drowned.

Dillon, June 9.-Yesterday after
noon Charlie and Ed. B. Moody, while
crossing little Pee Dee river at the
new bridge suffered very serious
accident which came near proving
fatal to both of them. They were
driving very fine and fiery horse
which became frightened midway the
bridge and without warning almost
he reared up and plunged headlong
into the river carrying with him the
top buggy and the two men. The
young men could not swim and but
for help which came to. the rescue
might have drowned. After saving
them the rescuers turned their at
tention to the horse but too late to
save him and he was drowned. They
got him finally to shore and tried to
resuscitate him but without effect.
The top on the buggy was demolish-
ed. The crossing is at present con-
sidered very dangerous one as there
is being built alongside it concrete
bridge and the wooden bridge is only
temporary and without railing.

Saws He Was Not the Man.

Ridgeland, June 1.-THE negro,
William Jackson, who was shot and
instantly killed by State Detective B..
F. Hammond when he resisted arrest
today, has been declared by the Wo-
man upon whom the criminal assault
was attempted as being the wrong
negro and not the one who made the
attempt.
This has only added to the fury OF
the negroes and causes the white
people to be more uneasy than be-
fore. For it now seems that a race
riot is liable to start at any moment.
The town authorities are posting
pickets throughout the town and are
in hopes Of holding the negroes in
check until the militia from Beaufort
can arrive in their launches, which
has been ordered to the scene OF
trouble by Governor Blease.
Sheriff NJ. O. D. White, of Beau
fort County, has left with launch
full of extra deputies to render aid.
Sheriff Porter, of Jasper, is already
in Bluffton rendering all possible as
sistance. The posses are still search
ing for the negro, but it now seems
as if he has made good his escape.
The bad weather still continues,
which makes the search extremely
hard on the men.
Negro Arrested and in Jail.
This morning negro answering
the description was caught in Ridge
land by the chief of police and is be-
ing held in the town jail until parties
from Bluffton can arrive for ldentlh-
cation.

Pardon for Quick Asked.

VIM. Quick is circulating petition
to the governor to pardon his son,
Elijah Quick, who shot and killed his
wife in Adamsville last summer. A
large number of signatures have been
secured to the petition.
It will be remembered that Quick
and his wife had separated, and her
mother was keeping house for Quick
and his little child. The mother was
working at McColl, and went to visit
them on Saturday. When she went
to leave Quick told her not to go.
When she refused to stay with him he
shot her in the arm. She ran out OF
the house with the blood streaming.
He reloaded his gun and followed her.
In the yard, as she knelt and begged
for mercy, and promised to stay with
him if he would spare her, he shot
her through the heart and killed her
instantly.
J. K. Owens represented Quick at
the trial. Solicitor Spears consented
to verdict of guilty with a recon-
mendation to mercy, and he was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. Bennettsville Advo-
cate.

RIOT FEARED AT BLUFTON
NEGRO ATTEMPTS ASSAULT ON
WIFE OF PROMINENT CITIZEN.
Negro Under Arrest at Ridgeland.
Whites and Blacks Arlning in
Anticipation of Clash.

Bluffton, S. c., June 11.-This
town and the surrounding region is
in a state of excitement, following an
attempted assault by negro upon the
wife of prominent citizen yesterday
evening. The woman was preparing
supper at the time, her husband not
having returned from work. About
half past Z o'clock a negro suddenly
appeared and attacked the woman,
who wrenched herself free and ran
from the house. She hastened to the
home of a neighbor and gave the
alrm and a posse was quickly in pur-
suit of the black, who is described by
his intended victim as being about 80
years old, over six feet in height and
of a dark gingercake color. A negro
answering the description was arrest
ed this morning in Ridgeland by the
chief of police and is being held
there.
Negro Killed at Bluffton.
A negro named Jackson, answer
ing the description of the assailant,
was killed in Bluffton today, when he
resisted arrest, and the negroes are
threatening reprisals. 1t is believed
here that Jackson is the negro who
attacked the woman.
Governor Blease has been asked to
call out the Beaufort militia for the
protection of the citizens of Bluffton.
Parties from Ridgeland are hasten
ing to Bluffton in automobiles to aid
in controlling the situation, which is
beginning to look ugly.
Acting on Governor Blease's or
ders. the Beaufort Naval Reserves are
under arms in readiness to proceed
to Bluffton at a moments notice.
Sheriff White and the commander of
the troops are keeping in touch with
Bluffton through Sheriff Porter at
Ridgeland.

RABBITS HALT A TRAIN.
Has to Wait Twenty Minutes for
Drove to Cross Tracks.

During rabbit drive near here the
animals collected on the tracks of the
Great Northern in such numbers that
a freight train had to be brought to a
standstill until the hunters drove the
game away. The big run was partici-
pated in by 800 men and boys, who
surrounded a monster dried up
slough. The hunters formed lines
to force the rabbits into wire-in-
closed place across the railroad
tracks, and while the animals were
crossing the tracks the freight came
up.
Engineer Horner was afraid to run
down the rabbits because of the pos
sibility of clogging the machinery of
the locomotive, so he waited twenty
minutes until the drove passed.
More than 1000 rabbits were slain.
The carcasses were frozen and ship
ped to the East.-Moses Lake, Wash.

BURGLARIES AT MAYESEILLE.
Two Places RObbed-Train Kills
Bloodhound Trailing Thief.

Sumter, June 9.-Quite nun Der
Of burglaries have been committed
in the town of Mayesville within the
past month, the last being on Sunday
night, when the store of T. L. Kahn
and the shop of J. F. Bland were en-
tered and number Of articles stolen.
The thief or thieves entered through
the plate glass fronts of the stores,
while the storm was at it's worst and
during a binding fall of rain.
After the storm bloodhound, own
ed by the town, was put on the trail
and tracks were followed for several
miles to a joint near New Sumter,
where the early morning train killed
the dog, which was following the
trail down the railroad tracks. 1t is
supposed that the dog was so interest
ed in the trail that it paid no atten-
tion to the oncoming train.
Up to this afternoon the thief had
not been discovered. This is the
third time that various stores in the
town have been entered in the same
manner. 1t is thought that the thief
had his arm badly cut in entering the
store Sunday night, as pool of blood
was found on the floor of one of the
stores and the trail showed several
places where he had stopped to wash
his arm.

AUTO MSHAP NEAR SUMTER.
Two Hurt, Four Frightened-Car
Badly Damaged.

Sumter, June 9.-Two persons
were slightly injured and four others
were very much frightened Sunday
afternoon when big touring car, in
which they were riding, ran into an
embankment and was overturned.
The injured are Mrs. Margaret M.
Dick and Robert C. Williams. Fhe
other occupants of the car at the
time of the accident were Mrs. B. T.
Williams, Miss Ella McFadden, Miss
Pauline Blanding and Robert Wither-
spoon.
The car was a new one, bought
about two weeks ago by J. J. Will
Jams, a brother of Robert Williams,
who was running it. Mr.. Williams
had run the car only once prior to
Sunday afternoon. In making
sharp turn in going down hill, about
two miles from the city, near Pocallo
Springs, he turned the car to the
right instead of to the left. 1t is be-
lieved that he saw his mistake and
became too confused to right his er-
ror before the car plunged into the
embankment, and then turned over
on it's side in the road. Fortunately
the car was not going rapidly at the
time, and this, together with the
fact that the top helped to hold the
car up, prevented it from falling all
the way over and possibly killing
some in the party.
Mrs. Dick received number of
bruises and scratches, and Mr.. Will
liams received sprained back,
bruises and scratches. Others in the
party, fortunately, escaped injury, al
though all were badly frightened.
Mr.. Williams is still in the hospital
recovering from his injuries and
fright. The car was badly damaged
and will require numerous repairs
before it can be used again.
