Friend Taylor failed to send US
further intelligence up to the hour
of going to press, but late on
Thursday night, deputy sheriff
Brent arrived in town, fresh from
the sanguInary scene, and supplies
the following particulars A.:
About + o'clock on the fatal
morning, Nelson sought t. rob his
roommate, Flynn, and being dis.
covered, to avoid exposure. broke
the innocent mans head in with
his revolver butt. The struggle a
woke the Mavberry family, and
as Mr.. M. approached the door OF
Nelson's room, he was shot dead.
The others shot excepting Beck
were fired upon as they sought to
ascertain the cause and source Of
the disturbance. Mrs. Mayberry,
with three wounds in her body,
a out of the house, screaming,
which, together with the shots,
aroused her neighbor, Consbruck,
and she exclaimed to him, mel.

dead. &. then gave the alarm

ed and affrighted populace, $50,
bring the murderer before me, and
I'll fix him." said, Come, boys,
with me, and we'll capture or kill
Nelson :" No doubt existed IN the
mind Of any, that Nelson was still
in the Mayberry house, but he had
gone to Mrs. Rodemaker's, a short
distance off, and telling Mrs. r.
what he had done, ordered some
thing to eat, which she gave him
with tear and trembling. He then
gave her a dollar, and bidding her
good bye, said there were other s.
BIS that he wal going to kill, and
perhaps he himself would be killed
Shortly thereafter the little town
became generally alarmed and a
number OF citizens armed them
selves and went to the Maybery
house to learn what the shooting
was about, having. however, OBJ
tanned an iutimation of the true
state Of affairs. Surprising Nelson
to be in the house still, they sur
rounded the place and kept guard
SO that the murderer could not
escape.
AT seven o'clock in the morning
the guard Of ten men, which was
on watch, was surprised 10 hear a
rifle shot from the rear and Her
MAI Beck, one OF the citizens do
ing guard duty, fell dead, shot in
the back with a rifle ball from Mel
sons gun.
In surprise, the guard turned,
and saw Nelson thro wing q cart
ride into his Winchester, when he
sang out, Take to the brush, YOU
SIS OF b-s." Then Taylor gave
the order to fire" which, being
responded to, Nelson fell with a
ball in his breast and one in the
side, eve to rise again. In his
pocket vas found DR.. Flynn's watch
winch he had stolen.
The ages of the Mayberry child
rem shot, were II, II, and 4 years.
1t IS feared that the ~ year old
girl, shot in the side, will die.
