destitute circumstances, as was discovered
when the Maxwell House folks intimate1
that at least a portion Of the amount that
he was owing for board would be gladly

Meanwhile he talked around with rail-

A Man Killed by One Of His En-
RiOyees.

A Man Killed by One Of His En-
Ffoyees.
The ERoTriUe Press and Herald Of the
oath saws: On Wednesday last, about 6
O'Clock, Shannon Felker, a worthy farmer
on BOvd's Creek, Sewer county, was killed
by man named Jacob Cummings, who
has been in his employ for some time. AIr.
FeIker had a great many hands in his en-
plOy. and among them was Jacob Cum
miggS. On the evening of the murder,
Mr.. Felker had left orders with another
one of his hands for Cummings to haul a
load of lumber to a certain point. The
man neglected to give the order and Cum
mings unhitched his team and put them Up
about an hour before shutdown. Felker came
up about that time, and learning that he
had not hauled the lumber, ordered him
TO hitch up and haul it. Cummings
did So but stated to some of the
other hands that he intended to whip Eel
ker that night, and if he should attempt to
draw his pistol be would kill him. Shortly
afterwards, hIr. Felker returned from his
work, and when near his house he was
suddenly confronted by Cummings, and
knocked down with some heavy weapon.
After he was down, he attempted to draw
his pistol, but this was wrenched from his
hand by Cummings, fired of and thrown on
the ground. \ man named McSpadden
aud two coiored men saw the occurrence
from distance and fastened TO the spot
and soon separated the two, Cummings at
once leaving for parts unknown. Mr.
Felker arose and walked to his house. a
distance OF several hundred yards, washed
himself and took a seat for few minutes
before the fire. He then went TO bed and
by Z o'clock was senseless, and died next
morning at o'clock. On examination it
was found that his skull was broken in sew
eral places.
