MURDERED AND ROBBED.
Newton Lnnier's Fatal Interruption
to His Journey to His Fathers


Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 4.-Last Fri
day afternoon a young man was found
lying by the roadside two miles from
Charlotte in an unconscious condition.
He was brought to the city hospital,
where he died an hour later. The cor
orner's inquest has developed a case OF
murder and robbery. The dead body
was identified as that of Newton La
nier of Fort Mill, S. c., and a volun-
teer in the Spanish war, who went to
Cuba in a company from this city.
1t transpires that Lanier was given
knockout drops at a house of i'll fame
here and was afterwards sandbagged
and robbed of his watch and $50 in cash.
Lanier came here Friday morning on
his way to Glover, S. c., to visit his
father. While waiting for his train he
was met by three men, one of whom
gave his name as Charles Lyle of
Knoxville. and lured to the house of a
woman of the town, where he WAS piled
with liquor and afterwards doped and
later on sandbagged. Lyle had openly
boasted to one of the women of his in
tention to do" his victim. The three
suspected men are said to be gamblers,
who came here during the firemen's
celebration two weeks ago. 1t is be-
lieved that Charles Lyle is an assum-
ed name. The police have a good de-
scription of all three, and their cap
ture is probable.

A DESPERATE NEGRO.
He Kills officer and Is Chased by
Men and Dogs.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. A special
from Shelby, N. c., to the Observer
says that Chief of Police Jones of that
place was shot and instantly killed by
Jim Lowry, a negro employe at the
South Carolina and Georgia depot at
1 O'Clock this morning. Jones, with a
warrant charging Lowry with selling
whisky without license, went to serve
it. Lowry ran, firing at Jones, the bull
let taking effect in the lung. Jones
followed and caught him as he struck
a lamp post. In the scuffie Lowry
fred again, the bullet going through
Jones heart. Jones was well known
detective and has a state reputation
for bravery.
The last report from the scene to-
night is that a reward of 5000 is Of
fered for the negro's arrest by the city
and a reward of $400 will be offered by
the Governor. Four bloodhounds and
over a thousand people are on the me-
gro's trail. One of the bloodhounds
was shot by the fleeing negro.
1t is quite likely that If the negro is
caught he will never reach the Jail
Jones was a very popular man.

CATION" said Secretary of the Navy
Long at bingham to-day to a Journal
reporter, when asked about the Wash
ington report that ex-senator Will
liam E. Chandler had made charges
against Rear Admiral Robley d..
Evans.
THE only thing 1 remember concern
ing the matter" continued Mr.. Long.
is that Mr.. Chandler wrote to me
about the time when Admiral Evans
book was published and asked for
copies of papers and documents re-
lating to Evans. These copies were
sent to him. Later Mr.. Chandler wrote
a letter to me in which he gave his
version of the case
Did that letter constitute a request
for an inquiry?" was asked.
There was no request, as l under
stand 1t, and there seems to be no ne
cessity for an inquiry concerning the
matter referred to-
might it not be taken up by the
Senator"
THAT is not likely. for neither Mr..
Chandler nor Admiral Evans is a mem
Der of the Senate"
When asked regarding the selection
of the third member of the Schley
court of inquiry Secretary Long said
that so far as he knew no selection had
been made.
IF Mr.. Haclxtt has made the selec-
tion ! shall probably know it to-mor-
row, but he has not sent me word as
yet. He is probably taking time to
ascertain If the man he selects can
serve. / have left the matter entirely
with him. There are only a few who
are eligible and any of them would be
a good man."
