NEGRO FUGITIVE
in TWO PLACES
PRlESTER SUPPOSED TO BE
CAPTURED IN SAVANNAH
Sheriff Goes to Georgia City While
Posses Resume Search Near
Allendale

.Hllendale, Sept. 26.-The hunt for
Memminger Priester, the negro who
on last Thursday night killed two ne
gro women and shot third and who
is wanted on a previous charge Of
murder and criminal assault on
white woman of Allendale county
nearly four years ago, took new
turn today, Priester being reported
arrested in Savannah, Ga, this morn
ing and also seen near Allendale late
this afternoon.
The description of the negro held
i'm Savannah vies almost exactly with
that of Priester and Sheriff Bennett
and deputy left here tonight to go to
the Georgia city to identify the ne
gro and bring him back to Allendaie
if he is the man wanted.
In the meantime posses, aggregat-
ing approximately 200 or 800 people
are securing the country around Al
lendale in pursuit of. negro, said
to be Priester who late this afternoon
was seen at the house of a negro near
Allendale. The negro started to en-
ter the house at 7:30 o'clock but the
alarm was given by negro woman
who saw him and now Identifies him
as Priester the man wanted by the
Allendale officers. Stephen Walker,
who was in the house, fired several
shots at the man in the yard, who then
turned and fed. Walker and the wo-
man Immediately Informed citizens
that Priester had been seen and the
search. which had been abandoned
upon receipt Of the news from Saw
annah that the man had ben captured
was taken up again, practically every
man in the town joining posses to
make the hunt.
The bloodhounds which had been
brougt here from Newberry to assist
in the Search were carried back home
early this morning and the search was
abandoned as hopeless. All last night
the search was carried on with the
hounds and several trails. apparently
fresh were picked up, but no definite
result could be accomplished. Sever
al negroes in, the vicinity of the
swamp in which the negro was said
to be hiding testified that they had
seen him as late as Saturday night
but since that time no trace of him
had been found until this afternoon.
AS the negro captured in Savannah IS
said to have reached there on Sunday
morning under very suspicious cir
cumstances it is believed that he mar
row1y escaped the posse on Saturday
night and caught one of the Seaboard
trains into Savannah.
Some of the negroes in the vicinity
ofzthe hunt last night failed to COM
ply with the requests of the members
of:the posses and received strong
third degrees as result it is under
stood. There We're several negro
members of the posse, however, who
showed much enthusiasm in the hunt
and assisted the posse very material
ly. Everything is quiet here and no
: evidence of mob spirit exists.

OLD AGE, HIS MARK !

Oliver Wendell Holmes, in the
charming discourses Of The Professor
at the Breakfast Table refers to an
unmistakable sign Of old age. It is
three parallel lines between the brows.
We can detect the first traces of dis
ease by signs just as plain.
When woman suffers from back
ache, nervous depression, dragging
dawn pains, and those ailments pecu-
lisr TO women. it is plain that she
needs woman's medicine. What

resort to than Lydia E. Pinkham' s
Vegetable Compound, which for half q
century has proved the natural restor-
alive for these troubles?

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent)
New York, Feb. 5.-Some time
back New York threatened to quar-
entine the Dempsey Carpenter
fight.
The promoters were given to nm
derstand they could not market 4
germ-maker that threatened the life
of the sport here.
The inference was backed with a
vigorous punch aimed right at the
classic of the age" when the ring
s0lons set SIS limit on prices.
Some wise man once said words
to the effect that q pendulum
swings SO far and then back again.
Limit Of Trouble.
This high priced pendulum of Tex
Richards seems now to have reach
ed the swinging limit in the trouble
direction and is heading back to-
ward . less hostile level.
Since the fortune-robbing side Of
the affair is being strapped by Rick
ards intention to work the princi-
pals on . percentage basis the ami
mostly Of New Workers is being
moderated.
Rickard has never mentioned the
Dempsey Carpenter bout to the
commission. Officially the solons
have learned Of the project only
through the press.
Sport Rulers Amenable.
However, it can be said authori-
tatively that the commission IS not
disinclined to approve Of the bout.
The withdrawal of Brady and
Cochrane from partnership with
Richard is taken as the final final
verdict that the bout cannot be
staged in London or Paris. Mon
treal remains. but Richard would
rather take his chance at home.
New York at this moment looks
to be the battle-ground.

ly II years ago and ranked for a
couple Of years as one Of the
strongest professional elevens in
the middle west.
The lore Of the M. & K. outfit still
rings clear to many an old-time
football fan. Signs of that bygone
era may be discerned in the uni
forms of the pictured players.
There are the high-necked sweat
ers, nose guards, shin guards and
canvas padded pants. Most of the
players are wearing ordinary shoes
