LOANED ARMY RIFLE,
MAY GET IN TROUBLE
Prominent Carolinians in
Complication with Rifle,
Government and Young
Woman.
Special to The Herald.
COLUMBIA, S. C.—lt seems likely
that one of the army rifles belonging
to the federal government, which la
so jealous about Its soldier property
ffhat an act has been passed making
trading In this property punishable
no't only by a line but by a term In
prison us well, may get Attorney Able
of Saluda and the sheriff of that coun
ty in a lot of trouble.
A dashing little widow on a vtsit to
Saludn a year or so ugo Is said to he
primarily the cause of the present
embarrassing situation. From what
can be gathered here, though Adjut
ant General Boyd Is mighty bashful
about telling anything about the affair
it seems that the general In the good,
ness of his heart loaned this gun to
Attorney Barney Evans for the widow
to practice with Finally in the course
of a legal case the rifle was seised
along with some office materials, and
Attorney Able Ik said to have become
the purchaser of the weapon In spite
of warnings from the adjutant gen
eral's office.
The sheriff Is alleged to have done
the selling, although he was warned
that he would violate the federal
statute.
Now It Is understood the governor
bus Instructed the adjutant general
'to go after that gun, and If General
Boyd puts the matter In the bunds of
a United States deputy marshal some
body Is liable to hnve to pay out a
precious lot of money In the way of
fees to the marshal and possibly to
attorneys, to say nothing of possible
presecutton In the federal court.
THE NIGHT.
Soon w« must come to the Night,
With the Day of our tolling done;

And then, where the Twilight

And the soul of the Dreamer sleeps.

NEWIS 11
GOOD (HIE, SIIS
MR. DOUEHTf
The hunters «f Augusta and Uich
mond coun'ty are very much interest
ed in the new game law which has
been introduced in the legislature.
The bill is a very broad one, and it
is expected it will passed the house.
Mr. .1. Doughty, talking of the hill
Thursday said it was the best game
law that he had ever seen, except
in one or two features. These are
those referring to the time of the
dove, and partridge seasons.
The bill provides that it will be
lawful to kill doves from December
Ist to March 15th of each year. Mr.
Doughty says 'that to enforce that law
would be to the huntsman the same
as if a law was passed telling the
neopje that they could not eat
I tVring chicken until late in the fall.
,\M Doughty says "The doves are old
anp tough, by December Ist and that
therefore is too late for the season
to open. The season should open
not later than August Ist. All the
young birds are out by that date.
Personally, I would like for the open
ing date 'to remain as it is, July 15th,
but possibly it would he better if the
opening date was made August Ist.
Birds Will Be Tough.
“By August Ist ali the young birds
are out, and they are tender. If the
law is passed for the opening of 'the
season December Ist very few birds
will be shot because they will be
tough and no one will care to have
them. lam in favor of closing the
season on March Ist instead ol
March 15th, as many of the birds have
begun to mate by that date."
The law provides 'that only 25
birds of a kind can be killed in a
day with the exception of doves, of
which 50 can be killed in a day.
Mr. Doughty talking of a lesser
fault of the bill jrays: “The bill
should have the season for the shoot
ing of partridges open on November
Ist Instead of December Ist. The
birds are all .full grown by Novem
ber.”
Mr. Doughty said that, while 'tin
law was the best one he had ever
read, that It would not he any good
unless it was enforced rigidly. “(Teor
gla,” he says, “has the best, fishing
laws in the United States, but 'they
are not enforced, and are therefore
dead. While this game law is a good
one. If it is not rigidly enforced, we
might as well not have it.’ >
’A hat Law Provides.
The new game law provides for the
office of game commissioner for the
state. Tho commissioner is to get
a snlary of $2,500. The commis
sioner will appoint, deputy wardens
or commissioners in every county, and
for every day that they work, they
will receive SX. Every person who
hunts will have to buy a license from
the deputy In his county. The license
will be good for one year, and it. will
co*st $3. The commissioner and the;
are 'to be paid from the tnon
by received for licenses, and from
fines. If there is no money oa hand
from licenses or fines, they can not
get their salaries until some is col
lected, as the bill provides that their
salurtos can not be paid from the
state treasury.
The Dill provides further that any
person who kills game out of season;
who kills game In one county und
carrys it to another county-; who
hunts without a license; who hunts
on another man's land without his
permission, and the tiring of a gun is
to constitute the proof of the shoot
ing; who kills more game than is al
lowed by law. and who in any other
wav violates tho law', is guilty of mis
demeanor and punishable for tho
same.

OFFICERS RIOT
WITH STRIKERS
State Constabulary on
Scene of Car Workers’
Strike and Help Preserve
Order.
PITTSBURG, Pa.—The state con
stabulary reached McKees Rocks
Thursday morning in response to a
request mude by sheriff Addison C.
Oumbertf Nearly all day Wednesday
and until late Wednesday night there
hud been great disorder as the result
of about 3,500 employees of the Press,
ed Steel Car Co. striking. During
the melees about thirty persons were
shot or beaten.
When the j>olice reached the plant
they stationed their horses inside of
the great steel plant and then took
up positions outside the fence.
A moment later a brick struck one
of the troopers. Instantly several of
tho troopers vaulted into their sad
dles and the next minute were dash
ing fiercely into the crowd of strik
ers and their sympathisers. As they
galloped through the crowd, the state
police struck right and left with
heavy riot clubs. The crowd became
demoralized under the terrific as-t
sault and fled in all directions.
That incident occurred at daybreak.
It had a potent effect and since that
time the strikors have satisfied them
selves by congregating at the gates
of the mill, but not daring to com
mit any act that would cause a repet
tion of the constabulary strike
methods.
