FELLED BY CHARLES HORTON.
Hackney Lee Struck Down Saturday
Night With a Heavy Stick-Carried
TO Rex Hospital and Will Probably

Night With a Heavy Stick-Carried
TO Rex Hospital and Will Probably
Die.
On Saturday night last, about II
o'clock, Hackney Lee and Charles Hor-
ton, both colored, got into row at Lees
home on West Edenton street, and Hor-
ton struck Lee dangerous blow on the
head with heavy stick.
Horton escaped, and Lee was taken to
Rex Hospital, where, last night, he lay
in critical condition In fact, it seems
doubtful If he will live.
Lee is married man, and has been
living for long time in Raleigh with
his family, and the gossip yesterday
morning, which, however, could not be
confirmed at police headquarters, was
that some trouble arose as TO the wife of
Lee. At any rate the two men joined,
with the above result, and Horton fled.
Horton is youpg mn, and Chisf
Heartt said yesterday afternoon that
there was no clue to him at present. He
lived here when a boy, but since then,
seems to have been a wanderer, living
in Kansas, Mississippi and other States.
He returned here about month ago on
one of the recent excursions and met
with Lee who is cousin Of his, their
aunt living in the same house with Lee.
Chief Heartt is taking all the usual
measures for the arrest of Horton, who
will be badly wanted in case OF the
death of Lee.

Is he wild West Show a Circus,

Mr.. NJ. Coyle, representing Buffalo
Bills Wild West, is in the city. Mr..
Coyle was worried yesterday because he
had to pay $500 State and county tax
for. the exhibition here to morrow. This
seems TO be the ruling Of the Attorney
General, who holds tie exhibition to
come under the head of circus" Mr..
Coyle says it is no circus, ard many
agree with him. He is trying to see
the Attorney General, saying that
he is sure that when the matter
is properly presented the Attorney Gen
eral will change his opinion. Mr.. Coyle
says land he showed the certificates OF
payment in proof that the coAany
paid in Washington only $40 Iicen# for
two days in Allegheny, Pa, $40 for
one day in Baltimore, So for two daJ !;
in Philadelphia, $25 for two weeks.
Mr.. Coyle maintains that such
figures prove that the show
was not regarded as a circus by those
cities, and if it is not circus in these
cities, it is not circus anywhere. 1t is
claimed that to be a circus "a thing
must be round from the Latin root
meaning; that there is nothing round
about Buffalo Bills Wild West; it
is square show through and
through-and does not have its
performances under canvas. There
is difference of $3.50 in the in
depreciation put upon the word circus,
and the Attorney General would better
get down his old Anthem and find out
whether Buffalo Bills show is round
enough for 5000 tax or whether being
oblong it may pay only $40

Some Charitable People Have Given

Their names have been kept from the

children. There viii be four cots and
proper and prompt treatment at hand.
me whole ward will be pleasantly furn-
ished, and work will be begun at once.
This much is known--that women are at
bottom of this donation. The trustees
were consulted, through Mr.. John O.
Drewry, to see if any trouble in the
charter stood in the way, but the coast is
clear, and thus will noble conception be
given practical result. The idea seemed
to start from the circumstances of the
death of the child not long ago at the
hospital

VINO COR TIE MONEY!
A $500 Appropriation Made For "a Col
OTed Agricultural Association al
NeWbern.

A $500 Appropriation Made For "a Col
ored Agricultural Association at
Newbern.
During the session Of the Legislature,
a bill was passed, appropriating $500, to
the Oriental Industrial, Stock, Fruit and
Agricultural Fair Association of New
bern. This is an annual appropriation
and runs for s years. The charter mem
beIs are W. W. Lawrence, NJ. P. Holly,
r. G Mosely, ST., E. r. Dudley, M. T.
Bryan, J, P. Stanley, S. A. Vail, Peter
Fisher, Jr, l. H. Smith, II. II. Sim
mons, Fl. J. Green. The place of bust
ness is at Newbern, and the
money presumably for an agricultural
fair. A warrant was drawn and paid
last August for the $500, and, of course,
there must have been fair in Newbern
and $500 worth of premiums; for the
$500 by the b Il is to be expended only
in premiums.
If this is all right, it is at least ex-
ceptional. Appropriations Of this kind
are made for State fairs, for instance
$500, for the ColOred State fair at Raj
eigh, but there is no appropriation for
a fair similar to this one at Newbern.
The bill was ratified on that eventful
18th day of March Perhaps the files
Of the Newbern papers may have some
gorgeous accounts of this fair, for the
premiums at which $500ihaye thus been
appropriated for the next eight years.

Important Suit in Chatham County

The action of Kelly and wife, Mrs.
Eccleston and Mrs )nes, heirs of W. B.
Richardson against the heirs Of Lewis
Grimm, and A. II. Mcneil. which for
five days last week was on trial in the
Superior Court of Chatham county, re-
suited On Sunday morning IN a verdict
for the plaintiffs, setting up a trust in
certain lands III Moore county which had
been purchased by Mes,rs. Grimm &
Mcneil at execution sale. At this sale
the latter held about ten thousand dol
lars of judgments against Richardson.
His heirs assert that Grimm 81 Mcneil
bought for him, and the jury so found.
The defendants claim that the lands are
to be applied first to the payment of GER
tain judgments due them and the resi-
due to Richa, dson's deb-s. A reference
was ordered by the court to ascertain the
state of account between Richardson and
Grimm IL Mcneil ia order to determine
how much of the said lands shall be APP
piled IN their favor These questions are
for future determination. AS there are
a large number Of judgments against
Richardson in favor of other parties
which must be paid before the heirs are
entitled, it remains for the future to de-
veIOp if anything will be left for the
Richardson heirs.
The issue as to whether the trust was
fraudulent was found in the negative.
The defendants appealed to the Su-
preme Court.
