Accidentally Killed.

A colored man was accidentally kill
ed near Cromer's Store one day last
week. A son of Lewis Duckett, color
ed, had a self-cocking pistol in his hand
with his finger on the trigger. and this
man asked to see the pistol. Young
Duckett refused to hand it to him and
he grasped it by the barrel to pull it
out Of Duckett's hand. AS he did so
the pistol fired, and killed the negro.
The deceased was buried without any
inquest, the reighbors thinking that as
it was an accident no inquest was ne
cesssry. In this they were mistaken
and the body was taken up and an in
quest held. The verdict Of the Coroner's
jury as to the killing was in accordance
with the above facts.
The name of the deceased was James
Rook.
