FOES KILL CONSTABLE.
Fire Buckshot into j. r. Cooler On
St. Helena Island.

Fire Buckshot into j. r. Cooler On
St. Helena Island.
Beaufort, March -31.-J. R. Cooler,
dispensary constable, was mortalty
wounded Saturday night. on St. Hel-
ena Island, eight miles from Beau
fort. He died at 6 O'Clock Sunday
morning while being put on motor
boat that was to have taken him to a
Savannah hospital. When shot he
was walking along highway in COM
pany with a negro assistant named
Deas.
From the thick brush that lined
the road sped two loads of buckshot,
fired from ambush. Four shot en-
tered the constable's head and one
went through the shoulder.
There seemed no hope from the
first, but two doctors were rushed
from Beaufort by motor boat and au-
tomobile.
Yesterday morning Sheriff NJ. 0. D.
White arrested and jailed a negro
named Reynolds as an accessory. The
sheriff today arrested negro named
Green and put him in Jail here.
At the inquest, which began yester-
day morning with a session in Beau
fort, Deas was examined. He testified
that Constable Cooler had raided five
places during the day, among which
was a shop kept by Reynolds. Rey-
nolds, he said, was ugly and said he
would get satisfaction" He made
this threat three times, following up
the constable and his assistant after
the raid, Deas asserted. The shoot
ing was done an hour or so after the
last threat was made and not far from
the shop.
The constable has raided Saint Hell
ena recently and had several cases
pending before the magistrate. He
has done good work since his appoint
ment few weeks ago and has been
generally praised.
Mr.. Cooler leaves a wife and two
children.
His body was carried to Blutfton
this morning for interment.
The county is much stirred up and
every effort will be made to bring all
implicated to trial.
Leading negroes of Saint Helena
have met to take steps to cooperate
with the sheriff and will have a call
read in their churches next Sunday
for a mass meeting to express their
INDIGNATION at the assassination and
TO offer assistance in locating the gull
ty parties.
Saint Helena has population OF
over 1000, only about 100 of whom
are white.
First aid to the wounded constable
was rendered by a negro doctor of
the island and trained nurse con-
nected with negro school on the
island.

Southern Flagman Gashes Passenger

Wldtn OF the lou DelHS u leeL.
Southern Flagman Gashes Passenger.
In a conversation between report
er and an automobile salesman at po-
lice headquarters last night it was
learned that there had been fight
aboard the Southern railway train
near Trenton, S. c., and that pas
senger had been severely cut across
the cheek and disfgured by the flag
man on the train as the result of
dispute over an alleged failure of the
flagman to call out the name of the
station. The passengers name could
not be learned from the automobile
man, nor could he tell where he had
gotten off the train. He said be
thought the passenger had gotten off
the train before he arrived in this
city.
The city hospital was then called
and asked if patient had been treat
ed there who had gotten cut across
his cheek. The reply was that a pa
tient had been treated only short
while before, but his name could not
be ascertained. This led to the belief
that the man who had been injured
had come on to this city.
After finding that he had left the
hospital a canvass of the hotels was
made, with the result that the gentle
man who had been cut was found at
the Elkins hotel. His name is F. L.
Hundley and he is travelling sales
man for a New Orleans firm. He says
he is native of South Carolina,
where his family resides.
When asked for an interview on
the affair he gave the following:
Il had tod the conductor I wanted
to stop at Trenton, S. c., so l could
journey from Trenton to Edgefeld.
Mr.. E. G. Morgan, of this city, and l
were talking of the flood disaster
while sitting back in the smoker
when the conductor came and said,
knowing I wanted to stop at Trenton,
"Where to now?' to which | replied
that I wanted to get off at Trenton.
He said, We have already passed
Trenton!' and then turned to the flag
man and said, Did you call Trenton?
to which the fiagman replied, I did.
'The conductor then left the car
very suddenly. I told the f1agman
that did not hear him call out Tren-
ton, and Mr. Morgan and several
other gentlemen said they had not
heard him. The flagman then re-
piled, I'm d-n sure did | took
no notice of the oath, but replied that
I did not believe that he had called |
the station. To this he called me 2
d--n liar, and I jumped for him,
but he ran. I gave chase and over
took him at the door of the coach
and struck at him. At this he drew
a knife from beneath his sleeve al
ready opened and slashed at my
throat and would have opened it from
ear to ear had it not been for pro-
tecting hand I held up. This made
his hand fly upward above my throat
and cut my cheek. I have a cash
five inches long across my left cheek,
which barely missed my eyes. I am
disfgured for life. About fifteen
stitches had to be taken at the hos
pital."
The name of the dagman could not
be ascertained, although the yardmas-
ter's office in Hamburg and other
places were called in an attempt to
ascertain it. 1t is understood that the
1agman is a new man on the road,
