Raleigh News and Observer: Ok
ford, June 21.-A deplorable occurrence
took place last night in he middle or
town. A negro named Albert Acton
was shot and killed by an
party. 1t appears that five shots were
exchanged and three seem TO nave
come from the pistol of the dead man
as his pistol was beside his hat with
three empty chambers. There Is con-
siderable excitement especially among
the negroes, who are gathered this
morning in various places in small
squads discussing the affair. The cor
oner's jury has just been called in and
the various crowds are assembling IN
the court house TO hear the trial.
There seems to be no evidence yet
brought out pointing to any particular
party as the guilty one. Only one
ball seems to have struck the negro.
burt il was just over the heart.
Raleigh News and Observer: 1t

and Selling him by the thigh stuck its
tusks into the flesh some two inches
deep, then tore them out. making a
terrible wound. 1t is thought that If
the boy had not escaped by jumping
a barbed wire fence he wou have
been killed.-The fellows who have
been advising their ignorant negro fell

of their incendiary advice in the des-
