MONUMENT TO GILLIEs.

The Oak Ridge Students to Honor the

The societies at Oak Ridge Academy

that the Oak Ridge students do we'll to
perpetuate the memory of the young
hero. We quote:
1T may not be amiss to refresh the
memories of our readers in regard to
the tragic death of "Gillies," the bugler
boy of Lees Legion. He was on scout
with the Legion on the 18th of Feb
ruary, 1881, and changed horses with a
guide, by the direction of Lee and was
ordered to THE rear. He was too diminu-
tive in size to WELD a sword and had Civ
en- luis pistol to the guide in front. The
scouting party were compelled to retreat
hastily and were hotly pursued by Tarle-
tons Dragons, made up of Tories of
the ''baser sort" They overlook the
helpless, unarmed boy about midway be-
tween Summerfield, then Bruce's Gross
Roads, and Oak Ridge and literally
hacked and mangled him to death. He
was buried subsequently by the side of
the road. Lee soon came upon the
drunken miscreants and amply avenged
the bugler's death by killing seventeen
out of twenty-one of them and would
have shot Lieut.. Miller, who was in COM
mand of the wretches but being sudden
ly called in another direction Miller es-

A NATURALBORN FORGER.
Young Langdon has a Long String of
Forgeries to his Credit.

Young Langdon has a Long String of
Forgeries to his Credit.
There is no longer any doubt that the
real name of the young man now under
arrest in Norfolk and wanted here for
forgery, is Langdon, and he is a son of
Samuel 7. Langdon, formerly one of the
owners of the Cumnock coal mines in
Chatham county. 1t is also equally Ger
tain that Young Langdon, is a natural
born forger. A letter received yester-
day by Chief of Police Norwood from
Superintendent Gaylor, of the Pinkerton
Detective Agency at Philadelphia, set
ties all of these points. Mr.. Gaylor
says:
Referring to the arrest of James H.
Langdon in Norfolk, Va, for forgery
committed in Raleigh, l beg to advise
you that I.angdon was convicted and
sentenced to the Pennsylvania Industrial
leformatory, at Huntington, Pa, on
December 14th, 1895, for forgery com
mitted on the First National Bank of
Salisbury, Pa, on September 18th, 1895.
He was released from the reformatory on
parole to his father, a coal merchant
of this city, on July 18th, 1897; violated
his parole and is now wanted by the re-
formatory authorities to complete his
sentence.
Prior to this forgery for which he
was convicted, Langdon had committed
number of other forgeries, some i'll
this city; but his father came to his
aid in each instance and settled the
claims"
Langdon's lawyers in Norfolk are
making a stiff legal fight to prevent his
being brought back to North Carolina.
They went to Richmond yesterday and
argued the case before Gov. Tyler. They
asked him not to honor the requisition
of the Governor of North Carolina,
claiming that the object in bringing
Langdon back here is partially for the
purpose of collecting q debt and not
solely for the purpose of prosecuting him
criminally.
Officer Haynes, who went to Norfolk
last Friday for Langdon, is still there
awaiting the action of the Governor. He
telegraphed the Mayor of Raleigh to see
that the State was represented when
the matter came before Governor Ty-
Ter Thereupon the facts were wired
Gov. Tyler by Gov. Russell.

Also in State VS.. McIlain, lO4 y. u.

McImin was sheriff of Jackson county
and in 1889 Judge Clark, then on tht
SUPERIOR court bench tried ana removed

About the same time the Sherlh ol
Moore county was also indicted Tor !

state VS.. Hunter, 94 Y. c., 500 for nh

On the trial before Judge Clark, in this
last-named case, it was shown that after
Hunter and his man left Raleigh fol
Alamance jail, the prisoner said he want
ed to see a friend in the second-clas'
car; Hunter told him he might go; the
prisoner went macc0mpanied by any
guard He never came back.
The Supreme court sustained the de
cisi0n of the lower court in finding Hun
