Thetown trip took in the business part of the city, and there was hand- shaking all along the line.

They were greatly interested in everything theysaw and encountered on the out- side, and said that everything seem- ed strange to thein. ASTONISHED BY ELECTRIC CAR.

H. the Board of Prison Managers, gave the Youngers a ride on his naptha launch up Lake St. Croix, and the outing was immensely enjoyed. The Youngers will remain in the officers’ quarters at the prison for a few days itil their place of employment is de- tided, and will also eat with the of- feers. They will be at liberty to ome and go when they choose, and Will have abundant opportunity to become accustomed to the ways of the world.

A negro, Walter Haynes, drew a re- volver, Dexter Kirby, white, an elec- trician, from Spartanburg, 8. C., in- terposed and sought to quell the trouble. Just as he approached Haynes the negro leved his gun and fired. The bullet struck Kirby inthe heart and he expired ina few minutes. Several of the dead man’s friends witnessed the shooting and before the negro had time to get off the train he was thrown off headforemost by three of the excursionists. The train at the time was crossing Thick- ety Trestle, which is at least ninety feet high. The negro was crushed to death from the fall. Steadman, the wounded man, is not expected to live.
