A critic might write whole col
umns about a show the size of
Sells & Downs. He might say
that the mensgerie was complete.
that the usual bareback riders were
all champions; that the clowns
were the only funny ones in exist
ence; that the horses, elephants,
camels and monkeys all acted real
ly cute, but he would be telling the
public nothing new. Yet Solomon
said there was nothing new under
the sun; but Solomon has been
dead a long, long time. The new
est thing in the show world is to be
seen only with the great Sells
Downs Show.

MURDERED BY RIVAL
Young Man WayIaid and Shot
by Another Maddened
by Jealousy.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Trinity, N. c., April 17.-Lawson
Parker. who lives near here, was shot
through the throat by Ed. Sawyer and
died last night about eleven o'clock.
Parker was on his way home after ac-
companying a young lady from party,
and Sawyer waylaid and shot him, the
ball entering the right side of the throat
and coming out at the back OF the neck.
Parker was a young man of good
morals, only seventeen years of age,
and Sawyer was supposed to be a quiet
fellow. Another fellow by the name of
Norris was thought to have had a
hand in the fght,' but upon investiga-
tion he was released.
The trouble seems to have arisen from
the fact that the girl had treated Saw
yer cOolly and was showing more respect
for Parker.
AS yet Sawyer remains unseen, but the
public opinion in the neighborhood is
that he is not far away.
