TIED COW TO TRAIN.
Negro Expected Animal to Keep Up
With Cannon Ball"

John Williams, alias Frank Potts,
a negro of gingercake color, evident
ly does not entertain much respect
for the speed of Capt. Edmunds'
Cannon Ball" on the Savannah VAL
ley road. For if he did have the
right amount of respect he certainly
would not have expected a young
heifer, which he admits is stolen
property and which he tied to the
steps of the rear coach to be able
to keep up with the train.
Capt. Edmunds' fast flyer leaves
out of, the Anderson yards about 6
o'clock in the morning. An hour
or two before the time Of departure
the negro fireman gets on the job,
and steams up. When the fireman
reported for work at his usual hour
this morning, he found the young
heifer securely tied to the steps Of
the rear coach. Investigating fur
ther the fireman located the Williams
negro snug and comfortable by the
stove inside the coach.
When Capt. Edmunds came down
ready to board the train the fireman
told of his disclosures and the gen.
ial captain telephoned to police head
quarters. The negro readily admit
ted that the young heifer wasn't his,
and stated that he had taken it from
pasture about four miles west of
the city. He said that some buggy
reins were hanging over the fence
just inviting him to use them on the
heifer, which was standing not far
from the pasture gate. He accepted
the invitation, and today he is the
guest of the county in the jail, having
been moved from the city lock up
early this morning.
The officers telephoned to several
farmers west of the city to learn II
they were missing a heifer from their
herds. Mr.. Oliver Bolt, who has so
many COWS and stock of all kinds, be-
gan search, and because of the great
number he has never would have
found out that one heifer was miss
ing had it not been for the fact that
this particular heifer was raised
around the yard and was somewhat
of a pet. Mr.. Bolt hurried to the
city. bringing along several negroes
who work on his place, and the feifer
was driven back to the haunts, from
which she was disturbed at an early
hour this morning.
Just what would have happened II
Capt. Edmunds had tagged his "can-
non ball" ahead without detecting
the presence of the young heifer, is
mere speculation. Maybe the negro
figured on what would happen, and
maybe he came to the conclusion that
the heifer could keep the pace set
by the engine in front. And if he
did think so, right there is where he
showed his disrespect for Capt. Ed
munds' lightning express.-Anderson

The Kaiser's Real Estate.

The kaiser is threatened with Sc
rious PERSONAL losses through the
Russian invasion, for in addition to
the great game preserves at Ronu-
ten, already in the hands of the
enemy, he has magnlhcent castle
at Posen, according to the London
Chronicle. He can, however, well
afford to, lose, for he is the possessor
of ninety separate estates, the big
gest comprising a quarter of a mil
lion acres, and holds the record
among monarchs in the matter OF
castles, of which he has just three
score. All are magnificent residences,
but seldom visited by their owner,
who maintains them chiefly for po-
litical reasons.

GIRLS SHOT BY STRAY BULLETS.
Casualty Causes Excitement in Jones'
Vile.

Jonesville, Deco. pa bullet
from the pistol of one of two negro
men engaged in duel this afternoon
near the depot wounded Miss Marie
Fowler and Miss Myrtle Coleman, two
16-year-old girls, who were passing
along the street when the combatants
opened fire on each other. The acci-
dental shooting of the two young Wo-
men, the daughters of we'll known
citizens, created great excitement in
Jonesville. Angry men beat one of
the negroes severely. Sheriff Hay
FAINT of Union arrived opportunely
on Southern train No. Al which pass
es about $50 o'clock and took the
negroes aboard with him before any
violence had been offered to them, for
their criminal carelessness.
Miss Fowler was seriously wound
ed, the bullet passing through her
chest. The same shot struck Miss
Coleman in the arm, inflicting a
flesh wound. Miss Fowler is the
daughter OF C. C. Fowler, a farmer
who lives two miles from Jonesville,
and Miss Coleman is the daughter of
R. R. Coleman, member of the
Jonesville police force. Miss Fowler,
who received the worse wound Of
the two, was carried to the Jonesville
hotel, near the scene of the shooting.
Tonight she was said to be resting
we'll and to have good chance for
recovery.
The negro men who did the shoot
ing are Will Hames and Crawford
Thomson, both about 35 years old.
They are said to have borne each
other a grudge for long time. They
took occasion to settle it this after
noon about 5 o'clock when they were
on the street near the depot and
started shooting. Thomson was shot
in the leg by Hames. A stray bull
let from the pistol or one OF the ne
groes struck both Miss Fowler and
Miss Coleman.
Officers arrested the negroes while
the intense excitement caused by the
affair spread over the town. Sheriff
FAINT was notified of the shooting in
time to catch the westbound after
noon train before it left Union. When
the train arrived at Jonesville, ten
miles away, the negroes were loaded
on it and left in the custody of the
sheriff, who took them to Pacolet
where he waited until Southern train
No. 10, eastbound, arrived. Then he
put the negroes aboard and carried
them back through Jonesville to
Union, where they were put In jail
about $50 p. m.
