COLUMBIA WILL CLAIM FIRST PRIZE MONEY Special to The Herald. UNION, S. C. —Columbia will put in claim for the first prize in the hose wagon contest. Last night Chief O. E. Smith was notified by Mr. Brums of the Colum bia “Palmettos,” that he not pay out the first prize. Nozzle Judge J. Frost Walker, Jr., still maintains his position, that wa ter was shown before the nozzle was put on, and many persons who were nearby confirm him in this statement, among them two progress represents tives. Columbia’s claim is based on hav ing been given time in the contest at all. Two of the judges, Chief H. B. Wells of Newberry and W. C. Smith of Anderson are quoted as say ing that they gave time because the water was shown, though they realize that the nozzle was not on. R. C. Keenan of Columbia, the third judge, Is rather reticent about expressing himself, except that he says it is im possible for anyone to put on the nozzle after water has been and it is known that the nozzle was on when the judges Inspected the hose. Nozzle Judge Walker, as soon as the water showed, this being the last race, and he believing that Columbia was disqualified, immediately left the grounds, which is the reason, pre sumably, why he did not immediately state that Columbia was ruled out of the races. It is said on high authority that there is no rule against the matter In question, except that the rules specifi cally provide that in order to be given time water must first appear through the nozzle, and of course, If water showed before the nozzle was put on, that disqualifies the team. Last, night Treasurer J. Frost Wal ker of the Union association tend ered Habenicht, who won the root race prize of SIOO, which check was re turned. No authorized person of the Columbia team was seen by Treas urer W'alker to whom he could turn over the second prize of $75 for the “Palmettos,” which won i n the hand reel race, though the check will be mailed today. The tournament closed last night with the delightful smoker which was given In one of the large store-rooms In the Townsend Block on Main street. The building was verv taste fully and prettily decorated ‘in the colors of the tournament, red, white, and blue. During the evening there were a number of speeches by visit ing firemen, and Mr. G. P. Smith of this city. Quite a large number of (he fire men and visitors left on the night train and the remaining left today. It has been particularly noticeable the splendid order that has prevailed during the entire tournament, and but for the unfortunate differences of opin ion regarding the disqualification of Columbia In the hose wagon contest, which Is a matter particularly regret ted by all the residents of this city, though, naturally, they decide with the horns team, everything has passed without a single unpleasant incident.

Sill, of Leesville, one of the two survivors of Columbia's strenuous ante-bellum police force —the other survivor being the venerable John Burdell of Lugoff —was in the city today for the first time in a long while, and 'to your cor respondent related graphically the story of the conflict between the po lice force and the armed students of the University of South Carolina, which took place during Governo: Adams’ administration, about 1856. At that time Burdell was chief of police and Mr. Sill was a new man on the force, having previously been engaged at his trade of stone-cutter in the Fisher's Mill pond and Granby, quarries, getting out stone for the foundation of the statehouse then be ing built under Niemsee’s supervis ion . The student body of the university constituted a military organization to themselves and were supplied with arms by the state. They were live ly young fellows and had frequent good-natured brushes with the peace officers, but nothing serious occurred until a student who had been pretty well battered up by Chief Burdell while being arrested was rescued by his comrades. Officer Sill had brought the lad out of The calaboose in or der that the late Dr. Fair might exam ine his wounds, when the students made a rush and recaptured the boy. The students then went 'to the dor mitories, got their guns and came back looking for trouble. The other militia had in the meantime been called out by the sheriff and formed in line with guns loaded in front of 'the old court house. The students drew up opposite them and it required two hours of the utmost eloquence of Professor Thornwell, Sheriff Dent and Mayor Arthur to prevent a bloody con flict. A few days afterward, according to Mr. Sill’s recollection, Governor Adams sent a wagon down to the uni versity, to collect the arms belonging to the sta’te and store them In the state arsenal; but Captain Wither spoon sent back word that he was unwilling to give them up.

The Sibley Co. claims that on June 16, 1906, the canal overflowed its bank and caused them damages to the above amount.
