Tandy F. Mayhugh Accidentally Kills
Himself.

Coroner CA. Jennings was called to
Mendon, Monday, to hold an inquest
on the body of Tandy F Ma yhugh who
was found dead near his wagon in his
barn yard, Sunday evening.
The facts as brought out at the in
quest were as follows: On the 18th May
hugh went out with his huckster wagon,
taking his double-Darreled,m ,muzzle-load-
ing shotgun with him-the gun being
loaded with 90 shot. He returned
home about dusk the same evening,
unhitched his team at his barn, leaving
the gun In the wagon bed with the
muzzle upward.
His hired man went to the barn,
saw him there and saw the gun in the
position described, and went off to
milk some. COWS, and in IS or 20 min
utes he heard the report of a gun.
He returned TO the barn and found
Mayhugh lying on his back, dead, with
his feet about two feet from the wagon
and his clothes we're still burning and
smoking. Tie gun was still in the
wagon.
The opinion of the coroner's jury
was that in attempting to take the gun
FROM the wagon, holding it by the muz'
zle, the hammer caught on the wagon
( bed and was discharged, the entire
load entering the left breast and pene-
trating the heart and lungs, and rang
ing little upward, striking the spina
column about the fourth dorsal verte
bra, causing instantaneous death.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was in accordance with the above

raignment and pleads not guilty; plea
Withdrawn, and by consent of prose-
cutting attorney defendant pleads guilty
to common assault, and is fined $40
and costs, and is given a stay of exc
cution for 10 days. Enderlee is the
man who marred Peter Wits beauty
with lapring, near Salisbury, the first
of last October.
Same VS.. Philip Key, felonious as
sault; grand jury returns not true
bill, and defendant discharged. Key
is the man who shot at Howard More
head, eolored tenant on defendants
farm, near Salisbury, the 18th of last
month.
Same VS.. Charles Minks, rape; grand
Jury returns not true bill, and de.
fendant discharged. Minks is the
young man who was charged with
ravishing Mrs. VIM. Hollenbeck, near
Bynumville, December goth, 1898
An investigation of the facts in the
case proved Minks to be innocent o.
the charge and that the affair was
more on the order of "a badger

game" than rape. Or, perhaps, as
some of our lawyer friends express it,
1t was a case of rapee, Mrs. HolIen-
beck having, according to her own
admissions, made 10 particular effort
to prevent Minks' alleged assault.
Same VS.. Walter Binford, felonious
assault; trial by jury, and jury failing
to agree, cause is continued. This IS
another of the cases growing out of
the part Binford took in assaulting l..
w. Bishop at the Veal-Bishop melee in
Keytesville the tenth of last Septem-
Der. All of the jury were in favor Of
convicting the defendant, but could not
agree on the extent of the punishment
Two members of the jury stood for
fine of $Ioo and six months in the
county jail, while the other o favored
a sentence of two years in the peniten-
tiary. After learning how the jury stood
Binford concluded to plead guilty,
and Judge Butler sentenced him to
six months in the county jail. The
opposing counsel IN the case had pre-
viously reached an agreement by
which if Binford, was given jail SEN
tence by Judge Butler. that both the
concealed weapon and felonious
assault cases against the defendant
should be dismissed upon payment Of
costs, provided Binford would leave
the countyn never to return. Of course
after coming in such uncomfortably
close proximity to the yawning walls
of the penitentiary, Binford was glad
to accept the proffered terms. He
paid the costs and is now conspicuous
for his absence from Keytesville.
Same VS.. Robt. Bruce, assault with
intent to rape; trial by jury, defendant
found guilty and sentenced to the pen
itentiary for three years. Sentence
commuted by Judge Butler to two
