The argument on the motion of the de-

Mantle against Lulu F. Largey to recov-
er possession of sixteenth interest in
the Speculator mine was resumed in
Judge LindEay's court this morning with

plaintiff, had accompanied his father to

The argument lasted until o'clock this

advisement, announcing that he would

there was more bloodshed at the lega-

prove of inestimable value in practical

Alexander Evans, a negro, was accl-
dentally shot and almost instantly killed
at Osteen few days ago by Mr.. +. II.
Graves, a merchant and prominent citi-
zen.
The particulars, as learned by the De-
Land News, are as follows: When Mr..
Graves went to supper he left his son in
charge of the store. During his absence
the negro Evans came into the store, and
asked the hoy if he could change dollar
bill for him. The boy replied that he
could, took the bill and gave the change.
On Mr.. Graves return the boy told what
he had done and showed the bill. 1t
was an old Confederate bill of the 500
denomination. Mr. Graves got his pis-
tol and traced up the negro, who fled
when he Was found, Mr. Graves pursuing
him, pistol in hand. Mr.. Graves had
nearly caught up TO the negro, when the
latter tripped and fell, Mr.. Graves falling
on top Of him. The pistol was discharged
in some manner, the ball entering Evans
left shoulder and coming out below the
navel. The negro lived only about thirty
minutes after being shot.
Mr. Graves was arrested and given a
preliminary trial before Justice George
Carpenter. Other negroes who saw the
affair substantiated the circumstances as
related above, and Mr.. Carpenter decided
that there was no evidence on which 10
hold Mr.. Graves.
The ball that killed Evans was 10
