a most horrible accident occur

Hill about one o'clock Thursday
morning. Miss Ellen Outlaw, a
young girl who works in the spinn-

attempted to stoop over to place
something in the waste basket
between the spinning frames.
Her long hair, hanging in braid,
became caught between a belt
and the pulley. The tension was
so strong that the young girl was
scalped from the middle of the
head backward, the hair and flesh
falling upon the floor. The flesh
and periosteum were torn off the
oxcipital bone almost entire and a
slit was made in the front part of
the head, the scalp dropping
down over the ears in flaps.
Although the pain was terrible,
she never lost consciousness and

Serious Rcs"its From the Tistoy.

a shooting ali'ray occurred at
Brewer Mine on Monday night of
last week between Capt. T.. Motz,
superintendent of the mine, and "a
young man by the name of Welsh
from Charleston, in which Cant.
Motz was seriously shot i'm the
leg, and Welsh received Il wound
in the forehead. one in the shoul
der, one in the chest and another
in the groin.
DIR. q. w. Gregory, who lives
near the scene of the conflict was
summoned, and advised the am
putation of Capt. MOTIFS leg. DR..
McCombs OF Charlotte was at
once telegraphed for, and upon
his arrival next day he agreed
with DIR. Gregory, and the leg
was amputated below the knee.
On his return from the mine,
DIR. McCombs gave this account
of the unfortunate difficulty:
Welsh,it seems, had been drink
ing good deal in Charleston, and
his brother cent him to the mine
to see if Capt. Motz and the life
there would not sober him. Welsh
continued to drink, and on more
than one occasion talked very
roughly before Capt. .Mctz's family.
Capt. Motz forbade him doing
so, and finally wrote to his broth
er that he must come and take him
away. Welsh learned of the let
ter, and tried to compel Captain
Motz to write another letter, which
he was to dictate, recalling the
previous one. This Capt. Motz
refused to do. Welsh cursed him
and Capt.Motz slapped him in the
mouth. Welsh drew his pistol
and fired. The bal struck Capt.
Motz on the leg just below the
knee, shattering the bone COM
pletely.
Capt. Motz grappled with his
assailant, and pulled him down.
AS he fell, Welsh put two bullet
holes in the floor not two inches
from Capt. MOTIFS head.
Capt.Mo then drew his pistol
and began returning Welsh's sa-
lutte, wounding him four times, as
above stated.
