A BOY EIEND.
He Kills a Little Three-Year-Gld Girl
and Hides Hes. Body.

INDEPENDENCE, VA, June 1I-spe-
cial.-Arthur Waddell, a negro boy, elsht
years old, enticed Bette Hampton, a little
negro girl three years OF age, to the
woods yesterday, killed her with rock,
and hid her body under the Top of a tree
WaddeII was brought here yesterday by
Captain S. NJ. Fulton, of Summerheid,
and, after a preliminary hearing before
Justice Archer, was sent to pail TO await
the action of the grand jury.
He was bound to Captain Fulton about
four years ago, who took him from the
poorhouse, since which time he has lived
at Captain Fulton's.
On day before yesterday he and Bette
Hampton (the child of coored woman
who lived on Captain Fulton's farm were
seen to go in the direction of the woods
together. After awhile he returned with
out the child, and, when asked where
she was, he said that when they got in
the woods she went in a different dlrec-
ton from him, and that he did not know
where she was Search was made for her
all that evening ana during the night
without a-ail.
Finally the boy confessed the murder
to Captain Fulton, and told where he had
concealed the body. He took the Captain
and the searching party to- the lop OF a
tree in a sink-hoie in the woods, and told
them that he had hid her under the limbs
ana DTuSL
They removed the limbs and debris,
and sure enough there was the body OF
Bette Hampton. Her forehead had been
beaten and mutilated with a blunt instru-
ment, which the negro boy says was
rock When asked what she was doing
to him, he said, nothing, but that he was
mad at her mother.
1t seems that the boy has natural dis
position to do evil. When but five years
old he was caught in the act of setting
fire to the fine barn of Captain Fulton $
A little later he stole one of the Captain S
horses from his barn one night, but was
captured after he had gotten about thirty
miles away.
On one occasion he stole lot of ylctuals
and crawled under the Captains house
The Captain looked for him for nearly
a week, and 'phoned all over the county
to see if he could find any clue to his
whereabouts. Finally, he thought that
he heard something under the house. He
looked under and saw the boy.
He does not appear to realize the enor-
mitv of his crime. Within ten or fifteen
minutes after he was placed in Jail he
was sleeping like a log. It is probable
that the County Court will call special
grand jury to indict him at the July term.

Rock Hill, Aug 4.-Mr S
Augustus Matthews of Ebenezer
met with an accident some two
weeks ago, as a result Of which he
has already lost his right arm, and
will in all probability lose his life.
In handling a pick he pinched
right severely the skin between
the thumb and forefnger. 1t was
at first not regarded as serious,
but in a few days the swelling and
pain became so great that physi-
clans were consulted. After
some time they decided to ampu-
tate the whole arm at the shoulder.
This was done, but there appears
to be little hope of the recovery
of the patient.
While hurrylng to get out of
the shower which came up sud-
denly this afternoon, two luborers
on the farm of Maj A II White,
were struck by lightning One
OF them, Sam White, was Instant
