| went rabbit hunting. Soon the woods
were seen to be on fire, men ran to put
it out found that the boy had accident
ally killed himself, and the theory is
that the powder set his clothes on fire
and then that set fire to the woods. AM
Elevator reporter rode out to where the
body lay, and reports that the sight was
horrible beyond description. Lying in
a heap among the Goals and burned
leaves, the charred flesh shining through
TIE holes in his burned clothes, was the
remains of the once bright little fellow.
The breeze blew back the lapel of his
collar of his coat, showing the cruel
wound the load of shot made. One
hand was slightly gripped, but whether
indicating contortion or drawn by the
fire, he could not tell. 1t is hoped he died
instantly, escaping the terrible tortures
of the flames.
Durham, N. c., November a.
The Gattis- Kilgo trial will lbegin Mon
day and will probably continue through
out the entire week. A gentleman who
came from Oxford last night said that
an effort was made by the plaintiff yes
terday afternoon to have the case con-
tinued for the term. In making the mo-
ton for the continuance, attorneys for
the plaintiff said that it would be a
hardship to force the trial at this time,
inasmuch as three of the leading counsel
for Mr.. Gattis cannot attend court on
account of Illness. Mr. r. 3. Boone has
been sick for some time and his attend
ance was not expected but it was main
ly on account of the illness of Major
w. A. Guthrie, of this city and of the
illness in the family of Hon. c. w. Wat
son. of Winston, that the motion was
made After considering the motion
Judge Shaw decided the case must be
tried next week.
