KILLED BY JAILER STOCKTON.
A General Jail Delivery Prevented by
Goodness and Bravery.
rspecial telegram 10 the Dispatch

Especial telegram 10 the Dispatcn.J
WINSTON, n. c.. January 26.-At late
hour Saturday night a negro named Steve
Walter was killed by Jailer Stockton while
attempting to escape Forsyth jail. Walter
and seven other prisoners in cell had de-
vised plan Tor escape by putting blanket
over the bolt in the cell-door, forbidding it
going shut. When the jailer walked in
the hallway Steve and a negro named
Broadnax pushed the cell-door open against
Mr., Stockton, knocking him down. They
then ran out by him. The other inmates
were forced back by Mr.. Stockton threat
ening to shoot them if they attempted TO
escape.
FATAL WOUND.
Walter and Broadnax met the jailer IN
the passage, when the latter shot Walter
in the abdomen, inflicting fatal wound;
Broadnax then went back to the cell and
lay down, while his partner jumped out OF
a window after three balls had been hred
into his body. Walter died from his
wounds in one hour afterward.
JUsTIFIABLE.
The coroner's jury said the jailer was
iustifiable in the killing. The prisoners
are still waging war against the jailer. In
passing the cell this morning Mr. Stockton
observed them whispering, which led him
to believe they were planning TO inJure
HIM. With the assistance Of the other of
ficers he went into the cell and searched
every prisoner. On the person OF q negro
named Gibson. one of the leaders in Sat
urday nights ARRAY. he found 38-calibre
pistol heavily loaded.
The heirs and widow of d. E. Nor
ris. who died in a mysterious way at
Reidsville about two years ago, and for
which Mrs. Cora Morris appeared before
the courts upon q charge of poisoning her
husband, compromised the case at Rock
ingham court to-day The heirs receive
So 600 and pay the cost Of the case. Mrs.
Morris and the insurance company alsC

an unlawful attempt" of the COM
mission ''to divert from a proper and
creditable exhibit" has it ever placed
before it's readers, and it knows that
it cannot, And right here we will
call attention to the inconsistency of
| the article. In our first quotation
the ReUieao accuses the commission of
diverting the intent of the legislature,
by using the appropriation to pay the
expense of the entire exhibit from
the state, instead of it's natural re-
sources. While in this last quotation
it declares the commission is trying
to divert it from proper and credit
able exhibit of such matters as the
whole people are interested in, to the
interests of a few private individuals.
Now, the former is just what the COM
mission is trying to do, but there are
some people who cannot get, or do not
want such fact to penetrate their
skulls.
One of the follies which the COM
mission is said to be committed to
is the building of barrel palace
constructed of barrel slaves and bar
rels, to typify the flour industry of
Minneapolis, and to cost $40, 900.
To vent It's personal spite and feel.
ing it will take up hearsay and palm
it off for a fact. The commission is
not committed to the building of a
"barrel palace, " nor was there mem
Der present at the recent testing of
the barrels to show their practicable
ity for such purpose. Unless the
money asked for is secured, Minneso-
ia will have no building at Chicago,
and in any event no sum greater than
$25, 900 will be expended for the struc-
ture, and it will be put up, if at all,
so as to thoroughly and effectively
represent the building material of
! the state.
+ The FREE PRESS has now discussed
the Worlds Fair question as far as it
will with the Rerieoc. Our neighbor
may now malign the commission,
misrepresent it's position, misconstrue
its acts and damn its purposes to its
hearts content, without fear of ref
erence to it's position in these col
umns. There are other and more in
| teresting subjects to take the space
of the FREE PRESS than to notice
such obstructionists to progress as the
! RerielC editor.

Have YOU ever figured out the prob

tions of baccarat of the brand used at

a mistake in being born to the purple
and the crown. He should have been
an American Westerner-say a Min.

have been hidden under stack OF
