NEGRO DEPERADO
CAPTURED IN GEORGIA
CONTINUED from page u

the alleged murderer Of DR.. s. c..
Moore, Magistrate Edenfield and Vic
on the 30th of April, was brought to
tor Bowers in Hampton county, s. C.
Savannah this afternoon at 1880
o'clock by the men who. shot and cap
tured him at Newington last night.
The month-old hunt for Austin
ended last night when Sheriff ]. B.
Morris, of Barnwell county, S. c.,
fired both barrels of his shotgun and
brought Austin to earth in the veg
etable garden of Marion Jerrel, a
farmer living near Newington, after
Austin had come up to the back door
of Jarrel's home and asked Mr.. Jar
rel for food, declaring that he was
wet and perishing.
Sheriff Morris, together with five
other men delegated to watch the
Jarrel home from among the posse
in search of Austin, had reached the
house shortly before the negro ar
rived and asked for food. Three of
the men had just left in a buggy to
take up their posts at some distance
from the house, and Austin, as he af-
terwards said, came up to the back
entrance upon the departure of these
three, believing the place to be free
from his pursurers.
Mrs. Jarrel, knowing that the sher-
iff was in the front part of the lot,
called out: "There's the neproi
There's Austin!"
Sheriff Morris hearing this cry,
rushed through the hallway of the
house into the kitchen, and opening
the back door there saw the hunted
man standing in the garden. Austin
thinking that the sheriff was Mr..
Jarrel, a former employer of his,
called out to Mr.. Morris to come to
him, saying that he was perishing.
Sheriff Morris, despite the two
shotguns that the negro held, one in
each hand, walked through the back
door and toward the man. Then,
when he was about 26 PAGES from
him, the sheriff fired twice, the two
loads of buckshot taking effect in
Austin's abdomen.
The negro fell to the ground, his
two guns falling some distance from
him. Immediately the wounded man
crawled toward the guns, Sheriff
Morris advanced upon him and when
within 15 PAGES, the negro had reach
ed one Of the shotguns and was rails
ing 1t to fire. But, unseen by the
desperate, Lutte Stivenger had come
from his post around the back cor
ner of the garden, and when the ne
gro raised the gun to fire at Mr.. Nor

rls Stivenger, a crack shot, fired the
rifle bullet that shattered Austin's
left arm.
The man fell back to- earth, beg
ging his captors not to shoot again.
Immediately he was picked up and
carried to an outhouse in Mr.. Jar
rels yard and then the other men,
bers of the posse were summoned.
When seen in the express car of
the train, where he was lying on the
floor covered with a rough piece of
sacking, with his head propped up
on a cardboard crackerbox and flies
buzzing around his wounds,the ne
gro declared that he was innocent of
shooting his alleged victims near Lu-
ray, S. c., on the 3Oth of April.
Il didn't do it," asid the man, his
voice barely audible above the rattle
of the moving train. "I didn't shoot
them white men. They was firing
from both sides at me in the bay,
from all around, and they shot each
other. I did not shoot them, boss,
honest to God"
Il just runned and runned until
was tired, so tired that I couldn't run
no more" said the negro. II slept
in the swamps, slept in the mud most
all the time. The dogs didn't worry
me none, except when they saw me.
Then they ran after me. But they
couldn't get after me from trailing.
They didn't worry me at all.
Il didn't shoot at none of the
white men that were after me. When
1 shot on Monday in the swamp the
gun went off by accident. I came in
to Mr.. Jarry's house because I was
perishing:"

practically impossible. So far as

WH|RLING CYCLONE STRUCK HONEA PATH

Honea Path, May .7.-At $3.50 this
afternoon this town was visited by a
cyclone which did quite a good deal
of damage. 1t seemed to form in the
edge of the town and to move in 4
southeasterly direction, and there is
scarcely house in its path as IL
swept through the town which is left
without damage. No lives were lost
and no person is yet reported as SER
iuosly injured, though there are sew
eral minor injuries and many very
narrow escapes. On horse was killed
outright and several others were in
jured by charged wires and railroad
tracks which were charged from con-
tact with the G S. & A. power wire.
All of the churches were consid-
erably damaged. Of these the Bap-
tist church is most seriously damag-
ed, heavy chimney having been
blown down and crushed through the
roof into the Sunday school room.
The Presbyterian church suffered
considerable damage to it's roof, The
Methodist church and school building
had windows blown in.
The only dwelling seriously dam
aged was that of J. G. Latimer which
had chimney blown off and blown
through the piazza roof. Both of the
depots were partially unroofed.
The store of the Latimer Clothing
company had one side blown out and
the roof seriously damaged. The
city market owned by T j. Clat-
worthy, had a plate glass window
blown in and the roof seriously dam
aged. The windows of several other
stores were blown in. Storage
houses of T. R. Finley, filled with
furniture, u. l.. Cox, r. M. Shirley
and C. E. Harper were all wrecked,
The oil mill and the Honea Path
Lumber company plant are both con-
siderably damaged.
Buggies standing in the streets,
outhouses and trees were crushed by
the fury of the winds.
The beautiful groves of the Pres
byterian and Methodist churches suf-
fered the loss of Is trees.
Wreckage was carried over the
Baptist church and parsonage of a
restaurant in the business part of the
town and crushed through a tree in
30 feet of the parsonage.
The fury of the storm lasted but
a few seconds and as it passed from
the town its funnel shape of whirl-
ing white cloud could be seen in the
distance for some minutes. After
passing the town it rose from the
ground and no serious damage has
been reported from the country. This
storm calls vividly to mind another

FOR THE SAFETY OF WORKERS
southern Railroad Takes Elaborate
Precautions to Protect Its Army
Is Of Employees. 2

A railroad on which during the past
nve years not Passenger has been
killed while In train has an excep-
idona record for safety. The Southern
Pacific, therefore, is In a position to
say that 1t has given full protection to
travellers. But the active "safety-first"
movement now In progress on that
great system indicates that the COM
pany has not done all In its power to
conserye-ehe lives OF It's employees. The
elaborate program now being carried
out, however, may be accepted as eyi.
dence that 1t realizes the Importance
OF educating the men to take more
care OF themselves" Railroad work IS
hazardous even under the best condi.
lions, and men grow SO accustomed to
danger that they are ready to take
chances OF being injured or killed.
Constant effort is required to impress
upon them the necessity of being. pru.
dent and vigilant.
The Southern Pacific plan includes
letters Of instruction, bulletins, lee
lures, photographs and buttons. all
bearing on the subject of safety. Presi-
dent William Sproule, who Is giving
personal attention to the movement,
rightly says that human life and limb
are the dearest things we have. and
the company hopes by education to
make the workers watchful of them
selves. "-Providence Journal.

SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL
oTciai Figures Show That There
Really Are Few Accidents on
American Railroad Lines.

Interesting Illustrations of the great
degree of safety attending travel on
American railroads are given by a
prominent newspaper In an article
based on Interstate Commerce Com
mission figures which show that dur
ing the six years period, 19O5-11, only
one passenger out of every 74,736 re-
ceived injury of any kind, and only
one out Of every 2,275,123 was killed
Commenting upon these figures this
paper says:
"A typical journey for all roads in
the country is now thirty-four miles,
and there are taken on the average
2,275,l22 such journeys in safety to
each journey which results fatally. II
man were to ride out these 2,275,122
safe journeys at two per day for each
business day in the year, 1t would
take him 1892 years. To have begun

would have had to start in the year

the children of Israel through the Red
Sea. BY $50 B. c., when Romulus was

DDS, the commuter would have ridden
21,OOO,OO0 miles and have had $780,
44f yet to go. When Phidias, in 400
b. c., was carving the Olympian Zeus,
our wayfarer would have been but
one-third of the way toward his
death; and even in the year $50 A.
D., when Alfred the Great was letting
the griddle cakes burn, this traveller
would have spent the equivalent of
2O7 years on the trains running at 80
miles an hour, and would have had
81 years more of actual travel to spend
before meeting his fatal accident"
