EmuIating Began Cash's Example.

WILMINGTON, o., March IT.
Great excitement prevails in this qui, t
city. Our City Marshal, John t. Van
Doren, was shot and instantly killed
about seven O'Clock Saturday evening, by
Alfred Ballard. The facts are briefly
these: Ballard who lives short dis
lance north of town, came into the vii
lage late in the afternoon and, as was his
habit, soon became drunk. When intoxi-
Gated he is very abusive and quarrel
some. About seven O'Clock he had a
difficulty with a saloon-keeper, George
Barlow, and made very serious threats
against him. Barlow escaped from him.
Ballard proceeded to the corner of South
and Locust streets, where he was arrested
by the Marshal and policeman named
George Daniels. They started to the viii
lage prison, but had gone but few steps
when Ballard jerked his right hand loose,
produced a revolver, and shot the Mar
shall, the bullet passing through his right
eye into his brain. An immense crowd
soon gathered, and it required the exer-
ton of the officers to keep the crowd
from lynching the murderer, and as he
was being taken down street some one
cut him in the side making quite a large
wound. He was lodged in Jail, where h.
now is. The murdered officer was an old
citizen of this city, and one unusually ne
spected. He had been Marshal for nearly
twelve years, and was considered one of
the very best officers in this part of the
State.

CHARLESTON. s. c. March 10.
Under Instructions from Governor
Thompson, State Constable, II. NJ. Rich
bourg, with twelve picked men, armed
with Springfield rifles. left Columbia at
midnight Saturday and arrived at Florence
at 1880 yesterday morning. They were
there met by Sheriff Cole of Darlington,
and took special train for Cash's depot.
The force reached point mile below
CaSh's depot at 8 A. NJ. Here the train
stopped and the force alighted and pro-
ceeded up the track on foot TO Cash's
house before daylight. The house was
surrounded and about six O'Clock Cash,
the elder, rose and saw the pickets. He
armed himself with Winchester repeat
ing rife and pistols and tried to escape
from the premises. He ran against John
III. Pearson, one of the sentinels, who
presented his rifle demanding surrender.
Cash hesitated and Pearson said: "Drop
your gun or III shoot you in two
seconds"
Cash dropped his gun quickly. He adj
mitted having been taken completely by
surprise. When captured he was endeav-
oring to make his way to q log house,
where young Cash had been sleeping
every night since the murder. The force
closed in and searched old Cash's house
thoroughly, but could find nothing of Bo-
gan Cash. The party started for the log
house. When they were half there, Cash,
getting alarmed for his sons safety, pro-
posed to go to the log house alone, pledg-
ing his honor that he would surrender his
son within two hours. The proposition
was accepted and the force recalled.
Cash went, and soon returned, saying
his son had left the house an hour before
and he did not know where he was. He
offered, however, If the force would with
draw that his son would surrender before
Wednesday,
He stated he only wanted TO come off
with flying colors; that neither he nor
his son desired to be considered outlaws,
but that he desired to effect q capitula-
ton on his own terms. Bearing in mind
the desire of Governor Thompsont that Cash
should be captured rather than be allowed
to surrender, Chief Constable Richbourg
declined these terms. Cash's home was
| then surrounded by guard with inStruc-
tons to allow no one to leave or enter.
Cash's pistols and rifle were then taken
from him. Cash protested strongly
| against this, but said he yielded to force.
Captain Richbourg having determined
to let nothing prevent the most thorough
search for young Cash, left most of his
men at the house, and at nine O'Clock pro-
ceeded to Cheraw to summon Il larger
| posse with which to enter the swamp and
track the fugitive. At Cheraw about
thirty additional men, including a number
of horsemen, were obtained, and these
secured the country around for miles dur
ing the evening, but could find no trace of
Began Cash. Search will be resumed to-
morrow, and strong hopes are entertained
that the murderer will be taken. Old
Cash was taken to Columbia by last
nights train, charged with coEplicity in
his sons crime.
