AN INSANE MAN
HANGS HIMSELF
in COLUMBIA

Columbia, S. C. special in Au-
gusta Chronicle of January IL. -
Some time during last night Ben
jamin Bryant, a young man in.
mate of the State Hospital for
the insane committed suicide by
hanging himself.
He tied the sheet of his bed
around his neck and fastened it
to the bars guarding the ventila-
tor over the door, after which
it is supposed he jumped from
his bed and died of strangulation.
At midnight an attendant not
thinking that all was we'll, went
into the room of the young man
and found him suspended by the
neck, and dead. He was placed
in the hospital on March a, 1910,
from Richland County, but is a
native of Marlboro County. He
was not a violent patient, but
was of an extremely nervous
temperament.

CAR OVERTURNS
KILLING COUSINS
Well Known Cotton Ex-

Savannah.

Savannah. Ga, Jan. 11.-Har-
ry Bornemann of Savannah and
Ernest Bornemann of New Or
leans, cousins, were instantly
killed this morning at l o'clock
in an automobile accident on
Norwood avenue, a part of the
Savannah Automobile course.
Willie Manigault, the negro
chauffeur of the car, was injur-
ed also and may possibly die of
his hurts.
The men who were killed were
cotton exporters who have offices
here and in New Orleans.
They both have families. Ernest
Bornemann lives in New Orleans.
M. Jacob and Baron George

so in the car, were slightly in
jured, M. Jacob having his wrist
broken.
The six cylinder car was being
driven out of Norwood into La
Rouche avenue almost in front
of Judge L. M. Norwood's home
when the right rear tire burst.
There was terrific report, ,'and
the car became unmanageable.
Instead of taking the turns as il
should, the big machine veered
sharply to the left and rolled
over.
The Messrs. Bornemann were
caught under the car and their
lives were crushed cut instantly
Their bodies were horribly
mangled. The machine mashed
the bodies of the two men to {
pulp almost.
The escape of Baron KnooI
and M. Jacob was little short o.
miraculous. They were Nthrowr
partly out when the car Started
to turn. They were severely
shocked. A few minutes passed
before they were able to realize
what had happened. By the
light of one of the big lamps OF

lpanions. Lying nearby was the
hjured chaueffeur, who was 10

which did valiant work. For a
time it looked as if the Fort Lawn
Deposit bank and John G. Cousar
and j. l.. McFadden's s store would
likewise be ignited. They were
all across the street, and the wa
ter furnished only by the buck
cts managed to keep the fire
down and it took several hours
to eliminate any further exten-
sion of the fire. In the o. A.
Jordan & Co. building, in addi-
ton to its store, was ]. E. Tur-
ner's meat market and a number
of offices and the Masonic hall.
