BELIOT Little Willard lar
ris, aged four years, the son of James
Harris, and Raymond Guttke, aged
i've years, son of Max Guttke, were
buride alive when a sand pit in
which they were playing caVed in.
The boys went to the pit, which is
near the water works, dragging red
toy wagon, and it was while they were
loading it and pretending that they
were hauling a load Of sand to the
railroad yards the sand gave way.
The boys were missed by their par
ents and after a frantic search the
wagon was found on the sand. This
started a search of the pit, where it
was believed the boys had gone TO

they had been buried by the sand and

bodies of the boys were found several

OLD-FAsHIONED FIST FIGHT.
Saluda Rural Policeman and Citizen
Have Lively Scrap.

Saluda, July 6.-An alteration be-
tween Rural Policeman J. E. Zeigler
and George C. Wheeler occurred here
Friday afternoon. No weapons were
drawn. 1t was an old fashioned fist
and skull" affair. Zeigler being the
larger man, had Wheeler at disad-
vantage when they were separated by
Henry C. Smith, clerk of the Court.
The trouble grew out of the bond be-
ing given on behalf of Cary McCarty,
a white man arrested by Zeigler for
the alleged selling of liquor at the
Zoar barbecue yesterday.
The magistrate was out of town,
and the parties had repaired to the
clerks office to give bond, Wheeler
intending to go On the bond. Zeigler
suggested that it was customary for
two to sign bonds. This suggestion,
it appears, nettled Wheeler and one
word brought on another until
Wheeler cursed Zeigler and was ours
ed in return. Then Wheeler struck
the rural policeman, who at once
struck back and a clinch followed.
Some blood, not much, flowed. Both
parties, as we'll as their friends, re-
gret the affair.
