1t came quite suddenly. He had been
in Sumter for several weeks under
going treatment, but returned to his
home some days ago. Monday 1t was
stated that he was feeling better and
at night he went to bed apparently
in his usual health. Next morning it
was found that he had died in the
night.
Mr.. Muldrow was 73 years of age
and was a native of Salem, where he
had spent all of his life. He was
twice married, first to a Miss Cooper,
of Mayesville, and later to Miss
Witherspoon, of Salem. BY his first
wife he is survived by one daughter,
Miss Sadie Muldrow. All others of
his immediate family, however, have
passed away, although he leaves a
large family connection. In his
death the county loses a good citizen,
and his death Is a big loss to his
many friends. The funeral services
were held at Brick church today.

Experiment.

Madrid, Dec. 18.-A large force
OF Moorish tribesmen was routed
with heavy loss today by the Spanish
troops at Muley Abselam, Spanish
Morocco. Spanish military aviators
threw the Moors into disorder with
showers of bombs.
Ihe Spaniards attacked the Moors
with brigade of sharpshooters. a
battalion of infantry, four batteries
OF artillery and large body of native
auxiliaries.
When the order for the general adj
vance Oh the Spanish guard discover
eu seVeral thousand Moorish noun
talneers concealed in the irregulari-
ties of the ground.
A hotilla of military aviators was
sent up to reconnoitre. By means of
nag signals the aviators guided the
column of Spanish troops. A heavy
artillery fire was opened by the Span-
lards without effect. The aviators
then ascended to an altitude out of
range OF rifle fire and flew directly
over the place where the Moors were
in the greatest numbers. Then came
what the dispatch to the Spanish war
othce describes as a ''veritable rain
oi bombs, tossed by hand by the air
men, into the midst of the Moors."
After this bombardment the Span
ish infantry charged with the bavo-
net and dislodged the Moors from
thelr positions, causing them to flee
IN great disorder, leaving large num-
bers OF dead and wounded on the
field.
The Spanish troops also lost a con-
siderable number OF men. as the rifle
fire of the tribesmen was very ac-
curate.

POLICE AT SEA IN WEST SIDE
MURDER MYSTERY CASE

MURDER MYSTERY CASE
The police are utterly at a loss in
their efforts to solve the mystery Of
the woman found murdered in the
alley between Madison and Monroe,
Desplaines and HaIsted streets, yes
terday morning.
The woman has not even been
identified yet, although various per-
sons have declared they identified
her. The latest, INFESTED Identified
ton is that the woman is Emma
Caldwell, Of Peoria.
Emma Caldwell separated from
her hUsband-Or her husband sep
arated from her-at Peoria two years
ago. She had been living a loose life.
The chances that the murdered
woman was Emma Caldwell are con-
sidered very slim.
Possibly the best chance of iden-
LITIGATION is presented through the
slain wOman's teeth. Both upper and
lower sets were false. Efforts will
be made to trace the woman through
the teeth by roundup of dentists.
This also is slim chance. 1t would
be a good one if the police only knew
in what neighborhOod they should
look for the dentist.

FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, Sept. Copyrighted,
1913, by w. T. Foster) Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbances to
cross continent September to and
10 to IA, warm waves Sd to 7th and
9th to 18th, cool waves 9Th to 10th
and 18th to 10th. Temperatures of
these two disturbances, covering first
half of September. will average
warmer and rrier than usual and the
storm forces will be of less intensity
than usual except about and follow
ing September 10.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about September IA, cross Pa
cifc slope by close of 18th, great Cen.
trail valleys 18th to 18th, Eastern sec
tions 10th. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about September Is,
great Central valleys 18th, Eastern
sections 10th. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about September II,
great Central valleys 10th, and East.
ern sections 21st.
Temperatures OF this disturbance
will average above normal, but will
not average so high as the previous
and following disturbances. It will
bring the most dangerous storms OF
the month, and although we are not
expecting such great catastrophes as
occurred earlier in the year, we advise
that no risks be taken. 1t Is not diff
cult to find places of safety during a
storm and we can generally arrange
our affairs so as to avoid dangerous
places. September IL to 20 will bring
thee quinoctial storms this year, and
to warn people of danger periods is
a part of our duty
Locating these dangerous storms is
not an easy matter. The best we can
do is to locate them 300 to 500 miles
southeast of the center of the lows.
We give the dates on which the warm
waves are to cross the continent and
these dates will not be far wrong.
Watch the progress of the warm
waves as the dangerous storms occur
in them. The warm waves and the
dangerous storms form southeast OF
the lows.
