RECEIVES BLOW ON HEAD.
Orangeburg Man Hurt Near Pine
wood-Assailant Arrested.

Orangeburg, April 19.-Mr. Lee
Trick, of this city, was very painfully
and probably seriously injured yester-
day near Pinewood. Mr.. Trick went
to Pinewood to collect from a negro
who lives near that place, and becom-
ing involved in some difficulty, was
struck on the head with spade by
the negro. The injured man was
brought to his home here last night
and given medical attention. He has
not fully recovered from the blow.
Though able to go about he seems to
have temporarily lost his faculty Of
speech. Otherwise he is doing about
as well as can be expected.
The negro who struck Mr.. Trick
was lodged in the guard house at
Pinewood yesterday.

Worlds Highest Waterfall.

The Kaieteur waterfall in British
Guiana, is the highest waterfall IN
the world. 1t is of unsurpassed gran
deur and beauty as the Potaro river,
unobstructed at it's brink by Islands
or huge masses of rock, as nearly all
other great falls of the world happen
to be, hurls itself in full food into a
great abyss.
Peering over the precipitous and
sheer rocky face, within 100 feet OF
this avalanche of water, is an awe
inspiring experience, the total height
of the fall being S22 feet, or five
times that of Niagara, which boasts
164 feet only. This fall is generally
seen at the dry season and conse-
nuentlv the name "Kaieteur' means
cold Mans FALL" and was so called
after an old man who lived in an In
dian village years ago and who was
very old and infrm and generally a
great nuisance, having a very bad
temper.
One day the natives, exasperated
at his conduct, put him into a boat
and let the boat carry him over the
falls. The boat was, tradition says,
turned to stone, and is now large
rock at the foot of the falls, while
the old mans ghost haunts the spot
at night and no Indian will approach.
The fall, if harnessed, could generate
a horse power of 1,264,S64.-NeW
York Sun.

STORM IN TILLMAN'S OFFICE.
w. r. Dillingham; Meets His Accusel
in Senior Senator's Presence.

Washington, D. c., April 17.-An
exciting situation existed for a short
while in Senator Tillman's Office this
morning, when w. R. Dillingham;, re-
Gently endorsed by Representative
Joseph T. Johnson for postmaster at
Spartanburg, denounced former solici-
tor J. G.. Otis in heated terms because
of charges filed with the South Caro-
lima Senators against Dillingham;.
AS a result of these charges, Dill
lingham voluntarily withdrew as a
candidate for the office, declaring
that he would not embarrass Mr..
Johnson. At the time, Dillingham;
had sent out a statement to his ac-
cusers declaring that he was in Wash
ington waiting to be confronted by
them at Senator Tillman's office and
that he defed them to meet him. 1t
was as result of this defiance that
former Solicitor Otis appeared to-day,
and there would probably have been
a personal encounter, but for the in
luence of friends and bystaHders.
AS it was, Dillingham; vowed that he
would pursue the matter another
time.
Beside the two South Carolina Sen
ators there were present their secre-
taries and the following citizens of
Spartanburg, in addition to Dilling-
ham and Otis:
Messrs G.. D. Lee, J. Hertz Brown,
S. T. Lanham and T. H. Fike, who is
Representative Johnson's secretary.
Lee and Brown came as friends of
Otis, and Lanham and Fike were
friends of Dillingham;.
When quiet was restored, the Sen
ators made the statement that mas
much as Dillingham; had withdrawn
from the race they had nothing to do
with the fight between him and his
opponents and that the matters ut is
sue should be settled at home.
Before making another endorse
ment Mr.. Johnson will probably hold
a hearing at Spartanburg.

FAMOUS HORSE DEAD.
Grey Eagle, the Outlaw, Bucked Him.
self to Death.

Grey Eagle, the outlaw, is dead.
The notorious mouse colored buck
ing horse that made his name his
toric for ten years in the COW country
killed himself in a mad attempt to
dislodge Art Scheutz, the champion
l7-year-old rider of Cheyenne, Wyo.
Scheutz lies in the Receiving hospital
with an injured skull and dozen
minor wounds.
The final rage of this old outlaw
was spent in a death struggle occurr-
ing in the northern part of Los An
geles. Scheutz- had for several
months heard of Grey Eagle. The un-
manageable horse was owned by Bart
lett brothers, on a foothill ranch.
Scheutz decided he could ride the
outlaw.
For months Grey Eagle made a
round of the various motion-picture
shows where Wild West scenes were
staged. Nnone of the cowboys assem-
bled for the film could handle the
treacherous bucking animal. Grey
Eagle had become notorious for pc
culiar character of his buck, rotary
motion of his back when in midair
that dislodged the most skilful eques-
trians. One after another of the cham
pions of the film squad of rough rid
ers had been tumbled over his arched
back and Bartlett brothers accepted
him as a freak in their collection OF
horses.
Scheutz sent word to the Bartlett
ranch in the foothills that he would
ride Grey Eagle. The horse was
brought to the Scheutz home for the
boy to mount. Without preliminary
he launched on the back of the beast,
and the contest started across vacant
lots, and along clothes-lines, against
the side of houses, under ambushes
that a maddened but cunning horse
COulQ SSlSCl lOl a SOAQoSo''
Scheutz clung to his seat. Once
Grey Eagle dashed down a seven
foot ditch, scrambled along it for a
few yards then climbed the precipit-
GUS bank and continued his wild
pitching, with the boy still in the
saddle.
His energy was nearly gone when
Scheutz guided him toward the paved
streets. At the first touch of the as
phalt at Fairmount and Blade streets
Grey Eagles feet slipped. He made
last desperate stand in defense of his
title. bucked wildly and viciously and
then started to run again. He con-
tinued slipping across the street and
launched into the curbing, lying fiat
where his head was crushed against
the solid block of concrete. Astrlde
him was Scheutz, also knocked uncon-
scious, but still clinging to the bride
reins.
Spectators took the boy to the hos
pital, where his wounds were dressed
while Grey Eagle was taken back to
the Bartlett ranch for honorable in
terment, even though his title OF
Grey Eagle, the unridden, was gone.
