TRAGEDY AT BRICK YARD.-Frauk
Blue, fourteen-year old colored boy,
was instantly killed by Thomas Bow
man, also colored, about 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at William G.
Walkers brick yard, on the Columbia
road, near Fort Runyon, in Alexandria
county. Bowman escaped and ran down
the road toward this city. Bowman, it
seems had provocation for his act. He
is the foreman of Walkers brick yard,
and yesterday morning Mr.. Walker
toll him to discharge one of two COL
Orei boys who were working there.
During the day it became noised about
among the employees that one of the
boys was to be dismissed, and consider
able interest was manifested as to
which one it would be. About o'clock
Bowman told Blue that his services
would not be needed longer. The boy
became very angry and declared that
Bowman had shown Partially to the
other boy. At this Bowman flash
ell up, and it is said that he treated
the discharged boy surlily. Blue
stepped back few PAGES and com.
meneed throwing stones and brickbats
at the foreman. Bowman paid DO at
tention to the missiles at first, but final
ly one struck him and he became very
angry. He stopped. picked up heavy
stone, and with an oath threw it at
young Blue. The stone struck the lad
squarely in the back of the neck,
breaking the spinal column. The boy
fell and his fellow-employes ran to him
and found that he was dead. AS soon
as Bowman realized that the boy was
dead. he, fearing, perhaps, that the
men (who are mostly colored) would
make some demonstration, ran over in
to Vests brick yard, adjoining, and
hid among the debris there. A few
moments later he was seen hurrying
down the road toward this city. Bow
man has been making his home in
Alexandria county for some time. He
has not been arrested.
Bowman was brought to this city
about 2 o'clock this evening by Con-
stable Green and lodged in Jail, having
been committed by Justice Pollard. He
says that when he struck Blue he had
no idea of hurting him. Blue, he says,
had been cursing him and had finally
struck him with a brick, when he, Bow
man, picked up brick and struck
Blue. When ne heard that he had
killed the boy he became frightened
and ran of. He stayed in the woods all
night and this morning went to an Off
Ger and gave himself up. Justice Pol
lard held a preliminary examination
and committed him to Jail.
