OF criminal serving five prison

the last six years had engaged in
eVangelistic work, died to-day, the
victim of a thug he had sought to
reform.
A few weeks ago he took home
with him man who had started out
for 4 nights swork as a pickpocket.
He talked with him and thought he
had him started on the right path.
a few days later this same man re-
turned with three thugs and the
quartette assaulted and robbed Lane
and fled. He was seriously injured
and failed rapidly.
During his career as criminal,
Lane was equally skilful as a pick
pocket, highwaymaE. safe blower and
burglar. He was friend of such
notorious crooks as Eddie Gurney,
baltimore" Pat Demiey, Tied" Far
rell, Chicago Jack" Merriwethel'
and John Barry. According to his

ticipated netted more than $4,000

BY far the greatest damage was
done lin and near Omaha. No great
number was killed in any place. The
wind swept along, taking it's toll here
and there. The tornado even jump
ed over portions of the city In it's
path, swooped down again and
dashed constructions to earth.
The gale left Omaha only to sweep
on to towns in Iowa in the same de-
structiVe manner that it had attack
ed villages in Nebraska. The rage of
the elements even extended in a
somewhat abated form, to points far
in the east Of Illinois. No sooner
had the twister passed than a gale
swept over. much the same territory,
but with lessened fury.
The sleet and wind storm of the
last few days had reduced telegraph
and telephone communication to dire
straits as hundreds of poles and thou
sands Of miles of wire we're carried

ed to the havoc west of Chicago, al

a rough frame structure used as a
boarding house by negro employees
Of the Greenville, Spartanburg and
Anderson railway was picked up

knees to pray and while thus en-
gagged the shack collapsed and two
of the men were painfully injured.
The barn of ID. F. Gordon was
blown down and COW crippled.

large water oaks.
Children on their way to school

MANY DEATHS FOLLOW STORM.
Heavy Damage Reported from Four
States-Many Lose Lives.

Chicago, March 23.-A terrific
wind storm causing widespread de-
struction and loss of life, and practi-
cally wrecking the already demoral-
lied telegraph service, ragged over
the Central West and Middle States
late to-day. Reports from Nebraska
Kansas and Iowa and Indiana indi-
cate heavy damage, but owing to the
wrecking of the telegraph lines the
reports are fragmentary and lacking
in. detail.

struction have been received The
death list at Yutan was placed at 5
and the injured at so. The death
list in Nebraska is placed at 20.
For more than four hours no word
was received from the stricken city
of Omaha. Late bulletins report that
half the city was swept by tornado.
All wires were down and Berlin, a
neighboring town, was said to be in
over a single long distance telephone
wire which worked at intervals.
Terre Haute, Ind, suffered severe
ly. Scores of persons were injured
an unknown number were over
wheimed in the ruins OF houses
blown down by the wind and many
fires were started in different parts
of the city.
The loss of life and property in
Iowa was less severe, according to
messages from the storm district
Dust storms, rain, hail and tremend-
Gus electrical disturbances prevailed
over Kansas and Nebraska the great
er part Of the day. While railroad
service was impossible motor cars
were pressed into service and sur
geons and supplies were rushed to
the wrecked towns at the best speed
possible over the washed-out roads.

SAYS HE CUT WIFE's THROAT.
Bright Mack, Manning Negro, In Jail
On Murder Charge.

Manning, March 24.-A negro wo-
man named Neither Mack, about 80
years old, was killed in her bed last
night about midnight, and her hus-
band, Bright Mack, Is charged with
the crime. Her throat was cut on
both sides with long-bladed pocket
knife and she was also cut about the
head and shoulders. They lived
about three miles northwest Of this
city. There were no witnesses to the
deed, but Mack, 1T is said, later con-
fessed.
According to the alleged confess
sion, after Staying his wife the ne
gro left the house for while, but
later returned and placed the knife
in the dead woman's hand, and then
went and told some of the neighbors
that his wife had killed herself.
When an Investigation was made

and he was arrested. When he re-
allied that he was going to be locked
up, charged with the crime, it is
said, he confessed to the constable
and told how the deed was done. He
said, so the constable states, that he
did 1T because his wife treated him
like dog, and said they had always
lived like cats and dogs since they
were married.
Coroner Gray held an inquest this
morning and the jury returned YER
dict In accordance with the above
facts, and Bright Mack Is now in Jail
awaiting trial for his life. This

ner Gray has held in Ave days.

News and Courier Special. }

span tanburg, March 24.-From
near Campobello there came tonight
a story Of the rare presence of mind
shown by a three-year-old girl, the
daughter of Mrs. Samuel Petty, when
her mother, holding a. nine-months-
old baby in her arms, fell into an
open fireplace. AS Mrs. Petty was
nursing the baby she was overcome
with vertigo and pitched forward
The little girl, the only other occu-
pant of the house at the time, hur-
riedly caught the baby, who was not
severely burned. Mrs. Petty's head
struck on an iron. When she recov-
cred consciousness both her eyes
were burned out and one side of her
face fairly cooked.
Carrying the baby in one arm, the
little girl with her other hand led
her blind and staggering mother to
the home Of the nearest neighbor,
who lived about quarter of mile
distant. Little hope Is entertained
for Mrs. Pettys recovery.

TRAIN KILLS MRS. DRIVER.
Well-Known Lady Loses Lifo on
Railroad Track Near Richland.

Last Sunday little before noon
Mrs. r. w. Driver, who lives near
Richland, was struck by Southern
train No. 10 at the Driver crossing,
about a mile west OF Richland, death
resulting shortly after from the in
juries received.
Mrs. Driver was on her way from
Sunday school to her home, and just
as she stepped on to the railroad
track No. 10, going east, struck her.
The train was stopped at once, re-
turning to the scene OF the accident,
and the unfortunate lady was taken
aboard the train for removal to a
hospital in Greenville, but she died
on the way between Easley and
Greenville. Her body was taken to
| Greenville, however, and prepared
for burial, being returned on No 80
! Monday morning.
Mrs. Driver, before marriage was
Miss Nessey Looney, and was born in
Hart county, Georgia. She was about
53 years Of age. She was twice mar
rier, her first husband being Jordan
| Harris. To this union eight children
were born. About five years ago she
was married to r. W. Driver of An
derson county, South Carolina, who.
moved to Oconee county some month";,
ago. Mrs. Driver was an excellent
woman, an earnest church worker
and devout Christian. Her untime-
| ly death brought deep sorrow to those
| who knew her, and we join with a
host of friends in extending ito the
bereaved ones sincere sympathy.
On Monday afternoon the remains
were tcnderly lowered to their last
resting place in Clearmont cemetery,
after appropriate funeral services
conducted by her pastor, Rev. l.. M.
LYDIA. The members of her Sunday
school class offended the services in
a body, the young men Of the class
acting as pall-bearers, while the
young ladies followed tho bier to the
grave bearing floral offerings, which
we're numerous, attesting to the high
esteem in which the deceased was
held
Mrs. Driver is survived by her hus-
band and eight children.

new RATES ENFORCED
Lower Passenger and Freight Rates in
Minnesota.

st. Paul. July 21.-The new passen-
ger and freight rates ordered by the
United States supreme court in it's de-
cision in the Minnesota rate cases be-
came effective today Passenger rates
are reduced to two cents a mile and
the new freight rates carry reductions
from 5 to 40 per cent. The federal
courts were to complete their part of
the Minnesota rate case today when
Judge Willard, acting upon the motion
of Attorney General Smith, was sche-
duled to dismiss the injInctions against
the state which have prevented it since
1911, from enforcing the two-cent pas
senger rate law. This is in accord
ance with the mandate Of the United
States supreme court filed Saturday.
Attorneys were to appear in court on
behalf of the Chicago Great Western
road and ask for a modification of its
orders on the ground that the road
condition is similar to that of the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis, which the
supreme court exempted from the new
rates, deciding they would be conf1sca-
tory.
1t was understood the Chicago Great
Western wished to establish the new
rates at competitive points, but retain
the old rates elsewhere.
This was to be left to the determi-
nation of the court. Experts are max
ing a valuation of the Chicago Great
Western property in Minnesota to as
certain whether the rates would be con-
hscatory-
