CHARLOTTE, n. c., May 6.-Yesterday
morning T. III. Proctor, a prominent citi-
zen OF Lincoln county, who is also mer-
chant at Denver. twenty miles northwest
OF Charlotte, was called to the door OF his
residence by = man named Doc Thompson,
who Is known as man Of no very
amiable traits OF character. Thompson
held pistol In his hand, and as soon as
Proctor appeared at the door took quick
aim and fired. and Proctor fell to the
ground MORALLY wounded. The bullet
struck Proctor in the left breast and passed
directly through the left lung.
Proctor was carried into the house and
a physician was at once sent for, who soon
arrived. and after IN examination pro-
nOunced the wound fatal.
The cause OF the shooting is said to have
been an old gTudge that had existed for 3
long time between the two parties, and
which Thompson proceeded TO settle in
the manner set forth. In the excitement
incident to the shooting Thompson suc-
ceeded in making his escape. The indig-
nation OF the neighborhood was thoroughly
aroused, and large parties started out in
all directions IN search OF Thompson. One
party struck his trail about noon, and fol-
lowing it up, arrived at the house OF
ThompSon's brother, near Brcvard's sta
ton. They surrounded the house, and the
object OF their search came out and SUI
rendered. The murderer was carried
thence and lodged in Jail at LincolntOn.

Seagle, OF Newton. n. c., was found in a
book under his arm:
