The CHAPpELL Hill MUIR
| pRR.-Dennis Jones, negro,
charged with the murder of
Sam Butler, near Chappell Hill,
| had a preliminary examination
before Justice Hynes on Tues
day, Charley Butler. aged
about 5 years, a son of the de-
ceased, testified that late on
Saturday evening he saw Jones
!. loading a pistol at the crib.
That after dark Jones came to
his fathers, Sam Buffers house,
and knocked at the door; that
he had a pistol in each hand.
Sam Butler was sitting on a
box smoking when Jones fired
and Sam fell to the floor. En-
ma Butler, Buffers wife, then
told him, Charley, to hide, and
he got into box. Three shots
were fired. On Friday morn
ing, the day before the shoot
ing, Jones came to the house
and asked for an onion; his ia
Their went to the garden to get
it; affiant was making coffee at
the time. When his father
stepped out, Jones stepped in,
and raising the coffee-pot lid,
put something in it that looked
like salt. Jones got the onion
and left. He then took the
coffee-pot and emptied the con-
tents on the ground. MIR. w.
II. Billingslea testified to having
part of the contents Of the
cohee-pot picked up. They
were brought to Brennan and
analized by Doctors Lockett
and Wood, who reported strych-
nine in them. Some other wit
nesses were examined, when,
the justice committed Dennis
Jones to Jail without bond.
Emma Butler, wife of deceased,
and Anthony Chadwick, color
ed, were committed to jail for
examination as accessories.
Warrants have been issued for
Fanny Perkins and Henry Eli
son. Henry, as reported else
where, has gone to take a ride
on Mr.. John Carlisle's fine
horse.

FINE WHEAT.-We learn that
Mr.. J. J. Smith, who lives in the
independence neighborhood,
has four acres of wheat, sown
as an experiment, that is about
four and a half feet high and
beautifully headed. The stand
is excellent, and our informant
says it will yield about forty
bushels to the acre. He says
it is as fine looking wheat as he
ever saw in his life. 1t will be
ready to harvest by next Tues
day or Wednesday.
Mr.. G. w. Newman, whose
farm is about FIVE miles east of
town, on Saturday, brought to
the BANNER office fine sam
pie of wheat, the heads of
which, including the beard, are
about eight or nine inches in
length; the grain is good sized
and we'll filled. Mr.. Newman
has two and a half acres plant
ed as an experiment. 1t will
yield about twenty bushels to
the acre. He is fully satisfied
that wheat can be successfully
cultivated here.

WAR IN AFRICA.
One Negro Kills Another.

On Saturday last just about
dusk deliberate murder was
committed on Mr.. Billingslea's
farm, half mile from the city Of
Chappell Hill. Itappcars that
negro named Sam Butler, who
was living on the place, was in
the habit ofquarreling with his
wife, who on these occasions
sought protection with a negro
named Dennis Jones, who lived
in the neighborhood. Sam and
his wife had lately had a new
quarrel and on Saturday even
ing she returned home and
they were sitting by the fire in
their cabin having a nice COM
Portable family quarrel, when
Dennis Jones appeared upon
the scene. The cabin has two
doors; Dennis knocked at one
them and told Sam that he
wanted to see him; Sam told
him to go round to the other
door; Dennis went, and break
ing it in or pushing it open at
once opened fire upon Sam, who
was, as already stated sitting in
front of the fire. Dennis fired
three shots all of which took
effect, one ball went through
the heart, the other through the
shoulder and the last through
the wrist. Sam was killed too
dead to skin, as one of the
witnesses expressed it. Justice
OWNS of Chappell Hill, being
absent DR.. Hynes, justice of this
precinct, went down on
Sunday and held an inquest.
The jury returned a verdict
that the deceased came to his
death from shots inflicted with
a pistol in the hands of Den
mis- Jones. The deceased is
described as being a medium
sized black negro about -35
years old and a good peaceable
quiet man who had the best
crop on the plantation. Jones
was arresteA and brought here
on Sunday night and placed in
Jail. He will have prelimina-
ry examination to-day.

The G., c. & S. F. RAILWAY.
Col. Leander Cannon, agent
OF the Santa Fe road, who has
lately been in Burleson, Milan
and Bell counties, informs us
that the general feeling in those
counties is strongly in favor of
the road and that the people
have subscribed very literally
in aid of it-Bell county stand
ing at the head of the list. He
has every confidence in the en-
terprise and feels confident that
the required amount of aid will
be forthcoming. The County
Commissioners of this county
yesterday granted the road ex-
emption from county taxes. In
due time our citizens will be
waited upon and asked to con-
tribute their share in aid of this
much needed enterprise.

10 o'clock on Sunday night du-
ring the progress of the services
of the Baptist church at Camp
town, Hugh Cammack and
Wright Mccoy two sportive
black roosters. got to sky-lark-
ing out of doors. During the
progress of the clark a pistol,
in the hands of Mccoy, was dis
charged, the ball finding a rest
ing place in the calf of Cam
mack's leg. They both, SO we
understand, claim that it was all
in fun. The worshippers in
the church rushed out to dis
cover the cause of the shooting.
This broke up the meeting.
The shootist will tell the Mayor

about discharging fire arms
within the city limits.

JUMPING Cows You may
talk about your wild, rearing,
tearing, fighting COWS, but the
senior has a COW that can dis
lance all other when it comes to
jumping. She is a small brown,
unpretentions looking animal,
and seemingly as docile as a
lamb, but turn her loose in a
lot and she will sail over a ten
rail fence with the greatest ease
and grace. The fact is "she is
a COW as is 4 COW. -

A GROSS OUTRAGE.-About
five o'clock on Saturday after
noon as MIR. N. Kavanaugh, an
old and respectable citizen, was
on his way home when immed-
lately in front of the Jail, he was
thet by Jim Gibson, a negro,
who was drunk and disorderly.
Mr.. K. spoke mildly to Jim tel
ling him to behave himself. Jim
responded by striking Mr.. K.
powerful blow in the face knock
ing him down, Jim then went
inside of the Jail yard and when
the city marshall and policeman
appeared claimed to be prison
er and free from arrest. Gibson
was convicted at the last term
of the district court, but APP
pealed his case and is now out
on bond. The Jail was locked
up at the time, nobody being in
charge but a negro turnkey.
The marshal came up town and
ascertained that he had a right
to arrest Gibson, but upon re-
turning to the jail found that
his bird had taken leg bail.
This is gross outrage and there
is no doubt but that Gibson will
soon be caught. A crowd of
negroes assembled in the vicini-
ty of the Jail and were disposed
to sympathise with Gibson.

POTATOES AND BEANs.-Mr.
H. Fisher has shipped since
Monday, four car loads of po-
tatoes and snap beans. He in
forms us that he is now paying
from 40 to 50 cents per bushel
for potatoes, but that they must
be of good size, as there is no
demand for marbles. The
large quantity of very small po-
tatoes shipped from Texas has
reduced the quotations of them
25 to 80 per cent below those
from Mobile and New Orleans.
The quality of the potatoes
raised here is fully as good, if
not better than those from the
east of the Mississippi river.
