answer knocked open the door
when the interior of the room
about the door seemed all afire
and the flames burst out from the
upper part of the door. Just
then he heard sound as if Miller
had jumped out Of bed and the
next instant he heard him fall to
the floor and caught glimpse of
his legs from the knees down as
he was falling. The poor darkey
never uttered even a cry. The
bursting Of the door doubtless
partly awakened him and caused
him to spring out of bed to his
feet. MIR. F., realizing nothing
could he done for the poor. darkoy
went to work with those who soon
gathered in to save his residence
from burning which it required
hard work to do.
Magistrate Carnes held an in
quest Sunday over the charred
rsma,as. Millen had only, been
living at Mr. Funderburk's about
three weeks. He came from
North Carolina and hired to him,
and, Mr. f., says,ho ssemedsto be
. quiet, industrious good darkey. |
