Chester Planters Precaution Saves
His Money.

Chester, Feb. 28.-Adam NJ. Warm
adore, a prominent planter of the
Richburg community, while returning
to his home a few nights since from
Chester, was held up at the point of
a revolver. He had sold a large
amount of grain that day and the
two negroes that stopped him knew
of it, it is thought. They demand
ed that he get out of his buggy,
which he did. His pockets were
carefully searched by one, while the
other pointed the pistol in his face.
All that the negroes could find was a
plug of tobacco, which they returned
to him, saying that they wanted eth
er money or whiskey. They also
threatened to kill him, inasmuch as
he didn't have anything that they
wanted. After much argument from
Mr.. Varnadore they dispersed
through the woods. Mr.. Varnadore
did have a large sum of money IN
currency on his person, but, having
been robbed once before, he was
sagacious enough this time to put
the money in his socks. The Rich
burg people made careful search
for the negroes after Mr.. Vanadore
reported the matter, but the search
was in vain.

LYNCHED AND BODY BURNED.
Negro Meets Death at Hands of
Crowd.

Leland, Miss, Feb. 24.-Sam Pet
ty, negro, accused of having killed
Charles w. Kirkland, deputy sher-
if, here late to-day, was shot to
death by mob tonight and his body
burned. An effort to burn the negro
alive failed when the flames burned
the ropes with which he had been
bound. He was riddled with bullets
when he attempted to escape.
Petty, wanted on trivial charge,
opened fire on kirkland with a shot
gun when the officer entered cabin
on the outskirts of Leland in which
the negro had taken refuge. kirkland
was instantly killed.
Tonight Petty was captured by a
posse of citizens and before officers
could secure possession of him mob
had formed and determined on the
torch as a means of execution. With
little ceremony the negro was bound
and placed in an oil soaked dry goods
box and the match was applied. A
moment later the man, his clothing
aflame, broke from his fastenings and
started to run, but before he could
gain headway he was riddled with
bullets The body was then replaced
in the box, fresh inf1ammables were
piled about it and within half an
hour it was burned to ashes.
The mob then dispersed and no
further disorder is anticipated. Up
to late hour tonight no arrests
had been made.
Several weeks ago policeman was
shot to death here by a negro, and
when news. of the killing of Kirk
land was circulated the mob was
quick in gathering tonight. 1t is
estimated that more than 800 men
took part in the lynching.

Files Old Massacre Claim.

The financial liability of the Fed
eral government for the property lost
by California emigrants massacred
at Mountain Meadow, Utah, in 1857
by the alleged Mormons and Indians,
and made the basis Of claim before
1891, is to be passed upon by the
Supreme Court of the United States,
says The Washington Post. Briefs
submitting the claim of Matilda
Thurston, whose father, William
Cameron, was ;one of those mas
sacred, for $4,000 worth of live stock
and other property, were presented
to the court yesterday by her attor-
neys, F. Spriggs Perry and Harry
Peyton. The government through
Assistant Attorney General Thomp-
son is resisting the claim.
The massacre was one of the har-
rowing tales of the days of the early
rush to California. All but three or
four of a string of % wagons, con-
stituting what was considered the
richest train that ever crossed the
plains, were lost, together with about
80 mules and horses and approxim-
mately 900 cattle.
After an unsuccessful attack on
the emigrants, it is claimed, one of
the Mormon leaders, John D. Lee,
washed the paint from his face and
approached the train with a white
flag, explaining that company of
Mormon militia would escort the emf
grants to safety. After the march
was resumed, it is claimed, the Nor
mon militia shot down the unarm-
ed emigrants, and the Indians tor
tured the women and children to
death.
When Mrs. Thurston filed her
claim under the Indian depreciation
law with the court of claims, it had
to meet the requirement of having
been presented to congress or the in
terror department before 1891. Her
claim was filed in congress in 1877,
but that claim named the Mormons
alone as defendants. The court of
claims held it was an Indian claim
and disallowed it. From this an ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme Court.

THE LUCK OF MINERS.
How Millions Have Been Taken From
Claims Abandoned as Worthless.

BOSS, come here,' said one of the
boys in the employ of Mr.. Bowker,
an Englishman who was working a
diamond claim at Droogeveld, on the
VaaI river, in South Africa.
The boss came, and the kafir show
ed him huge diamond of 17Sk
carats, or nearly the size Of the Koh-
i-noor.
This was in October last, and on
the very day when Mr.. Bowkef and
his partner had decided to abandon
the claim, which had produced only
a few small stones. Needless to say,
they did not leave, and few days
later they hit upon another diamond
even larger than the first. 1t was
1861 carats, and. sold in the rough
for 1,770 pounds.
It is strange how often the miner
makes a fortune out of an abandon
ed or almost abandoned claim.
There was such case of Waarn
Yarra, in Australia, in May, 1908.
Two Kingston miners bought an old
claim for song, and found it in
such bad condition that it needed
timbering all through. One wanted
to give it up, but the other suggested
that they might try their luck for
day or two. So they took some props
down and set to work.
The first man stuck his pick into
the clay roof to make hole for
prop, and down fell large stone
almost On his head. But it was not
a. stone. It was nugget of pure
gold weighing 11S ounces.
The richest copper mine in the
world is the United Verde, in Arizo-
ma. 1t was originally found by cou-
pie of ranchers, who sold it for
$4,000 $4,000 pounds) to two men
named Murray and Trimble.
They worked it and found little
copper, and were absolutely at the
end of their resources when they
struck pocket, not of copper, but
silver ore, which netted them a sum
of $1,000 pounds.
They came to an end of the silver
and abandoned the mine as worth
less. Another man came down from
Montana and bought the old claim
for a few hundreds. He struck the
real vein of copper, and within ten
years it made him one of the richest
men in the world. In a single twelve
month he took out copper valued
at 100000 pounds.
This calls to mind the even more
famous Mt. Morgan gold mine. The
first owner of the land was Donald
Gordon, who grazed his focks over
untold and unknown riches, and sold
the land for pound an acre to two
brothers named Morgan.
They set tc work, and the quartz
panned out up to 500 ounces of gold
to the ton. In 1889 100000 pounds
was distributed to the shareholders.
One shareholder left fortune of
2,311,OoO pounds.
Gradually the gold quartz petered
out, and the Mt Morgan mine was
supposed to be dead.
Then some clever mineralogist polk
ing about the half-deserted works,
realized that there was more copper
than gold. In 1906 the mine was re-
born as copper producer, and new
process was discovered for extract
ing gold from the copper. Today
Mt. Morgan is still going strong
