How Wilmington Merchant was Pulled

How Wilmington Merchant was Pulled
in on sunday.
On Saturday afternoon a darky entered
the establishment of clothing dealer on
Market street between Front and Second
and, after talking for few minutes, gave
tremendous yawn, stretched and cas-
ually remarked that he believed he could run
100 yards in less time than any man in the
city.
The merchant in question thinks he can
outrun anyone for that distance that could
be mentioned, SO when the darkey made the
remark the merchant was not slow to put
up w that the darkey could not beat in a
1o0 yard race. Preliminaries were soon ar
ranged, the darkey have placed
the required amount of money
In the hand of the ref
cree. Owing TO business the merchant
could not run on Saturday, 30 the race was
arranged for Sunday and took place on the
causeway at an early hour.
All evening on Saturday the merchant
was In the best of spirits at the idea OF win
ming SO so easily and continually rubbed bis
hands In a self-satisfed manner as much as
10 say that he had already made arrange
ments for the disposal of the money.
But alas, be was mistaken In his man, for
when the race came off, the darkey, hgura-
lively speaking, walked right away from his
opponent and came out far ahead at the end
OF the end of the race, not only as to dis
tance In advance but also $40 ahead, for the
referee was impartial and Immediately
tuaned over the stakes to the
darkey, who walked off with
a smile upon him weighing almost pound.
To say that the merchant, who was sc
badly fooled, is mad, puts it in the mildest
language; to get him mad the boys have
only to remark that he is good
foot racer and the trouble begins immedi
ately. He vows that he will never race
again and that he will grow baldheaded ant
gray besides before he will ever bet with I
strange darkey.

STORY or a CRIME.
Tie Author Of which Was Recently Par.
doned by the Governor.

The South Branch Gazette commenting on
the announcement IN this paper oil the par.
don OF William Bean by the Governor, slyt:
This Is a case IN which executive clemency
was exercised Justly. There Ii no doubt as
to The guilt OF bean, but 1t was M act OF
much proyocation, although the manner In
which the murder was committed and the
treatment OF the body afterward, was cow
ardly and british. Bean and Wilburn lived
near each other on the Wardensville and
Moorefeld turnpike, seven miles from the
latter place, at Wilburn's saw mill, but they
were continually quarrelling and making
threats. Wilburn was bad man and Bean,
lacking true bravery, held him In constant
dread, was afraid 70 meet him on the road;
and Wilburn being aware of this,
rorizs Bean. So one damp, drizz y morning,
In deep. dark and dreary hollow, with not
sound to disturb the alarming stiffness
without witness 10 the awful deed, Bean
seoreted himself under the bank OF the run,
and when Wilburn, unconscious OF the fate
in store for him, little thinking that he SO
soon should be ushered into eternity, mount.
ed log and bending forward, had made but
two or three thrusts with mis- s2e, bullet
went crashing through his head from the rear
and he fell forward . corpse. NH
The body was hid under some brush near
by, 1t being too large for one man TO carry
far. At night Bean, assisted by Charles Oats,
carried the body TO another rough and deep
hollow, several miles from the scene OF the
tragedy, and left 1t lying on top OF the
ground, thinking It would never be found.
In few days the alarm was sounded that
Wilburn was missing, and large crowds from
the surrounding country turned out to hunt
for him. A snow few days after the muir.
der hid all traces OF the crime, and several
weeks elapsed bsfore the body was found.
Bean was at once suspected and arrested.
The result OF the trial Is tated above. The
strongest evidence was the confession OF Oats
which, no doubt, Is about true. He will,
after all, "be home In time 70 plant potatoes.n
