MONDAY'S EXCITEMENT. Details of Difficulty With Negro Pris oner Which Started in Magis trate Chappell's Office. - The ditlicultv which started in Mag istrate John Henry Chappell's office I on Monday afternoon between the of - fteers of the law and a negro prison er occurred just a few minutes be t fore The Herald and News went to press, and it was impossible to pres i ent the details of the affair in the last -issue. The essentials, however, were - gathered, and presented to the read I ers of The Herald and News, and they were, in the main, correct. The facts as they have been gather ed seem to be about as follows: Richards Davenport, colored, who lives in the county, had sold Mr. San tiers, who conducts a beef market in Newberry, a lot of pork, and in the weighiiig it developed that the pork was sixty-nine pounds short. Sanders asked the negro about the matter, and, in order to be certain, weighed -the pork over, which proved that the iweighit was sixty-nine pounds short. Sanders thereupon applied to Magis trate Chappell for a warrant chargino Davenport with obtaining goods un der false pretences, he having already paid the negro, and the negro having refused to return the money for the under-weight. Constable Cannon G. Blease was absen,t in the country on official business, and MagistratE Chappell deputized Mr. J. W. Hen derson, of this city, to make the ar . rest. Mr. Henderson went out and brought Davenport into Magistrate Chappell's office. Magistrate Chap pell asked Davenport what he had tt say in regard to the charges which had been preferred against him. ThE negro gave Magistrate Chappell q very impudent answer. Magistratf C-1happell said to him, "I am run ning this court, and don't want an. impudence." The negro repeated hi, impudence. About this time Constable Cannor G. Blease came into the office with an other prisoner, whom he had been out to arrest. Magistrate Chappell said to Constable Blease, "I am going tc send this negro to jail; write out a commitment;'' whereupon Davenport rose from his seat and put his hand in his pants pocket. Special Constable Henderson laid his hand upon th -negro 's shoulder and said to him, "You are a prisoner; sit down." The negro jerked his knife out of his pocket and cut Mr. Henderson across the left jaw. Henderson drew his pi-stol and Magistrate Chappel] sprang forward to assist Henderson in controlling the negro. In -the melee which ensued the pistol was struck~ Ifrom Henderson 's hand and the negro psueceedea in cutting .both Messrs. CI' ippell and Henderson severely. Mr~ Henderson receiving cuts on the .jaw and Magistrate Chappell on both sides of the t.hroat. The office was crowded with people, 'but Constable Blease finally succeed ed in getting near enough to throw the negro loose from Magistrate Chappell. As he did so the negro grabbed a .hatchet, .whie:h was sitting by the fire place in the magistratte's office, and with the hatehet in one hand and the knife in the other, he rushed from the office. As he passed out of the door Sanders grabbed at him, and he slashed Sanders. aeroes the jaw and throat wit.h his knife. and ran on out. - ' Constable Blease followed with his pistol in his hand. The negro ran towards the opera house, ou-t of the north side door of the old court house, where the magistrate's office is loca:t ed. As he got about opposite the Confederate monument he was stop. ped by Policeman Chalmers. and Con stable Blease cauaht up wit:h him al mrost immediately and effected the a rres-t. Macistrate Chappell followed Constable Blease out of the office, and nieked noD a roek-the negro still having the knife in his hand-and ciaht the negro on the right hand side. Magistrate Chappell used the rock to make the negro drop the knife, the negro having dropped the hatchet when Constable Blease ar rested him and commanded him to drop his weapons. Following Magis rate Chappell. Special Constable Henderson came out of the office with i Winr-hester rifle, which he had nicked -up in the office, and he en deavor-ed to kill the negro, but was prevented froim doing so by parties who interfered. Magistrate Chappell and Constable Blease took the negro in charge and carried him to jail, where he was lock ed up. Chief of Police Adams kept back the crowd from the officers as they were taking t.he negro to jail. Policeman Franklin accom;a nied Messrs. Chappell and Blease to the jail with -t-he negro. On Tuesdar morning t hrer' war rants were swvorn ont char'ginig the negro with assault and battery with Henderson and1( Sanders. The wounds o the injured partie have been dress ed. The doctors pronnounced the wounds of 'the different parties pain ful, but none at all dangerous or ser- G ious, unless complications should set S The negro received a wound over t,he head. which Dr. Ellesor sa. s was d either with the butt end of a pistol or some blunt instrument, and also received a bullet wound through the leg.
