ANOTHER MURDER.
A Bushei and half of wheat the
cause.

Last week. David Dovers, who
lives near Allegheny Springs in this
county, was murdered by another
man whose name is Spradling. They
fell out, s. are informed, over a
settlement in which a bushel and a
half of wheat was involved. Spradling
was knocked down in the melee and
was carried off by friends. the report
first came TINT SpIadEng shot Dsvers,
and then Dovers threw an iron weight
and knocked Spradling down, dying
soon afterwards. This story is now
contradicted and it is said Spradling
did the killing in self defence. There
are several stories abroad audit will be
impossible to get at the exact facts
until the trial. 1t is bad enough
however it came about as one man is
dead and the other injured. When
will men learn to govern their
tempers?

A CLOSE CALL
Sam Porter gets Plugged by an
Unknown Person.

S' oo''
Quite an excitement was caused in
town Thursday night, over the report
that Sam Porter (coD son of Henry
Porter was shot. There seems to be
senseless fued between the town
boys and thosrtof the Colored College
and when college boys attempt to go
with town girls they are rocked. On
that night two of the college boys De-
Almond and Grifiths, of Kingston,
accompanied two girls home from the
meeting in progress at the college and
on their return home found crowd
of town boys waiting for them and a
crowd OF college boys comming to
meet them and see that they had
"fair play" Some of the town crowd
threw rockjust as DeArmond and
Griffiths met the college crowd, some
college man says, "Don't throw an
other rock" and about that time some
one in the street fired shot into the
town crowd and shot Sam Porter just
below the mouth, the ball glancing
around the chin and lodging just be-
low the r ght jaw. The two Kingston
boys were arrested. but gave bond
and their trial was held before Esq.
Davis (coD Friday. 1t was proved
that the shot was fired from the mid
die of the street and the two boys
arrested were on the sidewalk. There
was absolutely no evidence against
the boys that jury would consider
and Esq. Davis did exactly right in
turning them loose as trial would
only have been needless expense to
the county. 1t is not known who fired
the shot. Prof. Garner. principal of
the College, says the two boys ar
rested are among the most civil boys
in his school and he has never
seen anything against them. Mr..
Brown appeared for the defence and
Mr.. Gamble prosecuted. Sam lis
getting along nicely, but has q rather
sore jaw 1t seems that Sam was not
there to throw rocks, but was with the
croud just to see the boys run. He
has always been quiet and inoffen-
sive boy and is the son Of one of the
most prominent colored men of the
county.

Maggie Prater,a colored lady came
here about four weeks ago from Hots
Springs, N. c. suffering with tumor.
DR.. Blankinship has been treating her
while here. Her physician at Hot
Springs, a New York doctor, told her
that she might live by having an OPP
Grafton performed, but it was very
doubtful. DR.. B. told her the same
and told her he thought it was too late
to have an operation performed, but
as she was suffering and death was
sure in few days, she urged that the
operation be performed. So Thurs
day, assisted by the physicians OF the
town, D.. Blankinship performed an
operation upon the abdominal cavity
for the removal of the tumor, but
owing to the growth of the umor to
the bowels and surrounding parts. it
was found impossible to remove it at
the time Of the operation. The woman
died Saturday and the tnmor was
taken out after death. 1t was found
that it had grown to the lower part of
the abdominal vicera, thus making it
impossible to have taken it out with
out producing immediate death. Ifit
had been taken in time the patents
life could have been saved.

Did anybody ever see Him?' No, Mr..
Ingersoll, we never saw Him, We might

sphere it would contain a thousand
