THE MUnDEE a , THE DAMP.


The Pooomoks City Ma, slaadsr gives
the following particulars Of the murder
OF Henry Beayens
The annual camp meeting at Polk'
Roads has oper ed this year with homl
o!da. On Sunday morniug as Jim
Besvens OF Deals Island was prome-
nading around the circle about daybreak
he heard some one exolsim "Pay me
what you owe me amt you going TO
pay met He wheeled around to sae
who it was and saw Milton Wilson, an.
other colOred man, standing there with a
club in his hand. He was immediately
struck over the left eye blow, which
almost stunned him. The wound made
by the blow was an inch long aud the cut
went down to the bone. He threw his
hand up over his eye and saw no more.
He was taken to tent, the wound
washed clear of blood, be lay down ana
either went TO sleep or became uncon-
soipus.
Jim's brother, Henry Beavens, at the
time of this happening was at the service
taking part in thu religious exercises.
When he heard Of the occurrence he left
and went ont where IL had happened.
When he got there, he said in q very
pacifying manner something like this
i'This is NO way to act during divine ser
vice who was 1t who struck my
brother 2" immediately Milton Wilson
stepped forward, exolaiming, 81 am the
man who laid him out and can lay you
out too" Suiting the action to she word
he sprsng forward aud stabbed him in
the neck. The knife or dirk, with which
the stsbbing was done, entered on the
right side Of the wind pipe, about 81
inches below the jaw and ranging back
ward. The wound was an half inch wide
and two inches deep, partially severing
the carotid artery.
DR.. John Dale was immediately sum-
moned, but, when he reached the spot
about 1890, q. m, the man was dead
from hemorrhage. The wound was mortal,
and had the doctor been present at the
moment, he could not have saved his life.
Henry said nothing after he was stabbed
except to exclaim "My God | He has
killed me ~ The dead body Of Henry Bea-
vens was then taken to boat, snd accom-
by the wounded brother, was taken to
their home on Deals Island. The muir
derer left, and, It is said, he went to his
home where the officers went to arrest
him but he could rot be found. At this
writing he ia still at large.
