Little Sam Williams Accidentally Shoots
Himself.
A terrible accident occurred near the
homo Of Mr.. George r. Gish, about o
mile from town, yesterday morning.
Samuel Williams, little boy about
thirteen years old, in company with
two moro about his ago, went down to
Mr.. Gish's for some purpose and took
his gun with him. After he had got
ten down there he set his gun down on
the opposite side of the fence by which
he was standing, and when he went to
take it up again the hammer caught
under one Of tho rails, discharging the
load into the right side of his throat,
killing him instantly.
The other little fellows became
frightened and ran homo. One of Mr..
Gish's little boys found tho dead boy
Mr.. Gish brought him homo before any
OF tho family could send for him.
He will DO buried this evening at his
grandfather's Captain Woods, near
Bonsacks. Sam was good little boy
and liked by all who know him. He
was (as one would suppose, to look at
the bereaved family tho favorite child.
This should be warming to boys to
be seon every day with guns so heavy
that the little fellows can hardly carry
them.

and went to live with A. w. Stewart
be allowed to remain 1t seems that

count of brutal treatment it left.

was sent to investigate the case. This
action aroused the feelings Of Mr.. Stew
art, who at once employed lawyer and

A FORTUNE WHEEL

Cots Three Men I'm TroubIe-Sont to tho
Grand Jury.
Elijah Snead and j. w. Fritz were
arrested yesterday morning on warrants
sworn out by Officer Flick on tho
charge Of running fortune wheel
Snead was arrested first, and afterwards
Fritz admitted that he was tho solo
proprietor. Lie was likewise locked
up.
Judge Williams tried the case at DO
lice headquarters yesterday. Fritz was
too drunk to be taken out of the cell,
but Snead was put on trial.
officer Rignoy set the machine up on
the desk and showed tho justice how it
was operated. 1t was run for money:
no prizes were given, but tho winner got
a quarter
Charlie Stultzenberger said he was
employed to run the continuance. There
was no license on the game. Snead said he
was also employed to run the machine.
1t belonged to Fritz, and he had nothing
whatever to do with it,
Judge Williams decided that it was a
gambling scheme Of the worst sort, and
said he wonld require Snead to give
bond for his appearance before the grand
Jury, which meets Monday.
The construction Judge Williams put
upon the case was that it is not legal
for any one to hire himself to run n
gaming table. Bond was fixed at $500.
Fritz was allowed to lie in soak till to-
day, when he will be examined on the
same charge.

evidence was that Banks was
sitting in tho front door OF q saloon

him "V." The negro used some Ian
guage which Geo took offense at and
sterted to arrest Banks, who ran Gee
pursued him, catching him near the
Palace Hotel. He dubbed Banks SOW
eral times and took him to police head
quarters. He claimed that he was
never before the court on any other &C.
casion, but Policeman Ware testified
that he had to club Banks two years
ago into submission.

for making tho arrest, charging that it
was an assault, Mayor Evans said
Banks had perjured himself and he
would fine him IS for being drunk, but
dismiss the CHI arge of resistance.

THE wooD WORKING MILLS

Ever Before. at

Turning Out O Better Glass Of Work Than
Ever Before. ls
Business appears to be pretty brisk
about nearly all the planning mills in
the city. The class of work which is
now being dohe is better than was ever
turned out before. While there is not
such a rush for cheap materials as
last year, the force OF workmen have in
nearly every instance been retained
without being dismissed.
The Roanoke Manufacturing Com
pany has about all the work on hand
that can be managed. The late order
from the Bridgewater Carriage Works
for the doors, frames, sash and finish
ing materials has greatly frightened
up work at that industry. Mr.. Kefau-
yer, the superintendent, said Yesterday,
that work on this order would begin in
a few days. He further says the best
orders he ever handled are being turned
out at the present time. The frames,
sash and blinds for the Van Horn and
Sibert residences and the now Presby-
terrain church in East Roanoke are
being finished up.
Bush & Garner arc busy furnishing
materials for several fine residences,
and are now expecting orders from SOW
eral others. They, too, have a good
class of work on hand and have not de-
creased their force of worl1men.
Tho Bower Manufacturing Company
are furnishing material for several
houses, and have just received orders
for considerable out-of- town work.
, divers planning mill is furnishing a
large quantity of flooring, ceilings,
mouldings and other house finishing
materials.
Notwithstanding tho pressure in
money matters during the present year.
all the planning mills have kept up won
de- fully we'll. Not less than $50 men
have found steady work during the
year with the aforementioned con-
Germs.
