Charlotte Observer. A colored man
was seen walking about town yesterday
with his head tied up in a manner that
attracted a good deal Of attention, and
on asking him the reason of all his ban
dages, he stated that he was sh ot last
night by Capt. E E. Everitt, conductor
Oh the Carolina Central Railroad. The
negro, whose name is Richard Thompson,
says that on leaving Charlotte Saturday
night the negroes on Capt. Everitt's
train commenced a big row and a crowd
of them got to fighting. He was en-
deavoring to quiet them when he caught
a pistol ball in his head just over the
eve. One OF the negroes had drawn a
knife On Capt. Everitt and the conduc
or pulled a small 80 calibre pistol out of
his vest pocket INC blaze0 away. The
bullet missed its intended victim and
brought down the peace maker. The
train was stopped and Capt. Everitf
fired the rowdIes over the railroad bank
after which the journey was pursued 10
peace. The negro is not badly shot, and
may well feel thankful that the pistol was
a small one. The ball entered Just under
his left eyebrow and came out over the
right forehead.

nesday. He was sliding down Eastern

papers, when, on reaching the junction

which turned into the avenue from
the south. DR.. Billiards. hedge hid
them from each others sight until too
late to prevent the collision. As young
Dalton saw the team he screamed,
and LothrOp Immediately checked the
horse. The lad passed between the
horse and the runners, was thrown
from the sled against the horses heels,
where he laid when the horse was
stopped. He crawled out of his I'M
comfortable and dangerous position,
with no injuries save some bruises
about the face. If the horse had taken
fright or had been driven by some
one who had failed to act promptly,
the consequences would have been
serious. The enforcement of the pro-
hibition against coasting on this and
all other thorOughfares should be i'm
mediate and summary. 1t is unwise
to wait until the village is shocked by
some fearful catastrophe before the
dangerous practice is stopped.
