BOY TRIES TO SHOOT UP COURT.
Judge Hides Under His Desk and
Others Vacate Room.

Washington, June 23.-Judge.
lawyers, policemen and spectators
were sent scurrying to cover in the
criminal court here late to-day when
Ray M. Stewart, aged 18, fired three
wild shots in an attempt to "shoot
up" the court. At the first crack
Justice w. p, STAFFORD disappeared
beneath his desk, and out in the
court room there was a wild scram-
BILE for places of safety. Some, fren-
zied by fear, leaped into windows
and dropped to the ground fifteen or
twenty feet below.
Justice Stanford had Just refused
to release Stewart on probation after
conviction for attempted highway
robbery. The boy whipped out a pis-
toI and fired three shots, two of
which narrowly missed Assistant
United States Attorneys Samuel Haw-
ken, Harvey Given and Policeman
Moffett. He was in the attitude OF
turning toward the Judge as IL to
shoot when a witness sprang upon
him and choked him into insensibil-
ity. 49,
In the confusion that followed
many thought Justice Stafford had
been struck by bullet, but the
judge emerged from his haven with
out a scratch.

mail, murders, opium smuggling and
smuggling of coolies across the bor-
der were revealed in letters and doc

Bing Kung Tong, according to infor-
nation given out by Federal immi-
grafton officials.

of Wong will be sought at once, and
other Chinese, powerful in many
American cities, will be prosecuted.

USE OF CALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED.
For Bilious Attacks, Constipation and
Liver TrOubles--DangerOu
Calomel Gives Way to
DOdsOn's Liver Tone.

Every druggist in the State has
noticed a great falling off in the sale
of calomel. They all give the same
reason Dodson's Liver Tone Is taxi
ing it's place.
"Calomel is often dangerous aud
people know it, while Dodson's Liver
Tone Is perfectly safe and gives bet
ter results" says Bells Drug Com
pany, Walhalla.
Dodson's Liver Tone Is personally
guaranteed by Bells Drug Company,
who sell it. A large bottle costs so
cents, and IL 1T fails to give easy re-
lief in every case OF sluggishness
you have only to ask for your money
back 1t will be promptly returned.
Dodson's Liver Tone Is d pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy
harmless to both children and adults.
A bottle in the house may save you
a days work or keep your children,
from missing school. Keer your,
liver working and your liver will not
keep you from working. adv.

the cell door wherein a negro, Will
liam Redding, was confined, and
dragged him through the principal
streets of the city to the Buchanan
corner. where they lynched him. A
Thousand shots, 1t Is estimated, were
fired. This was the climax of the
shooting earlier in the evening Of
VIM. G. Barrow, who has been chief
OF police In this city for the past %
years, and the wounding of four
negroes.
The sheriff and his 1enuties found
resistance useless. Wi r. steel crow

steel doors wherein the negro was
confined. The lock was finally rip
ped from its fastenings and the door
swung open. Then a rope was tied
about the negro's neck and he was
led through the streets to the scene
OF the shooting of Chief Barrow.
There he was strung up. to cable.
The Dody mad only been cleared
from the ground when the rope
broke, but the negro was again
strung up, this time with better sue
cess. Shooting began from every di-
rection and the body was riddled
with bullets. Before the shooting
eEegan Rev. sRobt. Bivins, pastorgof
the Furlow Lawn Baptist church,
pleaded in vain with the leaders to
spare the life of the negro. His
pleadings lasted during the twenty
minutes required to string the body
up to the cable, and then yells OF the
crowd and the shots from many pis-
tolls drowned his voice. The shoot !.
ing continued at intervals for half an.
hour and the body was left to hang
on the cable. The lynching was the
