Brookland News.
o the Editor of the Dispatch:

The citizens of our town were
completely shocked on Saturday
night, February 2Stb, about 8 o'clock,
when the report was given out that
young John NJ. Bundrick was acci.
! dentally killed by Robert Doyle.
The news quickly flashed over our
town and regrets and expressions Of
sorrow and sympathy we're heard on
every side in behalf of both parties
and their respective families.
The killing is peculiarly sad one
and is greatly deplored by our people
owing to the fact that the families of
both parties are highly esteemed and
respected.
Prior to the accident, it seemed
that drunken negro by the name OF
Cantey with two associates were
taking the town in and in their
rounds some profane language was
used on the public square when
young Doyle informed the officer
that the conduct of some one OF
these men was very unbecoming and
| that he (the oficer) had better go and
take charge of the situation. Officer
Sturkie went deliberately to the place
| OF disturbance and on seeing the
party and realizing that his would be
prisoner was a specimen of fine ply
| sical manhood, he pressed young
Doyle in to aid him in making the
arrest. Cantey was arrested and he
was quietly and quickly taken to the
lookup when all present thought the
matter ended and began to return to
the public square, at which time two
other hurley negroes came to the
scene of action and demanded "wby
and for what purpose Csntey was
locked up?" Before any statement,
however, could be made to them one
negro flashed pistol from his pocket
which was quickly knocked from his
hand to the ground by young Doyle.
Officer Sturkie, still being in the
guard house locking up his prisoner
was called to the door and told that
a negro was there in front and a
pistol had been wrenched from his
hand, whereupon the officer arrested
him. During some discussion with
the negro, young Doyle secured a
light and found the pistol in some
grass nearby and at which time the
negro made a break and succeeded in
freeing himself from the officer and
made q dash for liberty. BY this
time several people had gathered
there among whom was John Bun.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Mr.. Bauer has been making a very
bad job of the weather for our Sec
tion for the past two months. He
has turned out some OF the most dis
agreeable weather we ever saw, but
we hope be will adjust his instru-
ments and try to give US little sun

mail routes seem to be gaining favor
with our people. Like the telephone,
they meet with some opposition, but
the people seem to begin to feel like
they could not get along without
these conveniences.
Our town has recently become
quite cotton market. Our buyers
are paying more than the buyers in
Columbia will pay, and make nc
charge for weighing. C,tton today
sold here for ten cents, and repeated
inquiries by telephone elected the
fact that Columbia would not pay
that price.

Though few days late, last night

exercises Commemorative Of Wash

pirate dialogues and speeches the
past, present and future were cora-
pared and the progress of the age in
which We live depicted, and We were
reminded that at the present speed
of progress, if we sleep, we will one
day wake up further behind the
times than Rip Van Winkle was. All
the speeches and dialogues were de-
livered in a manner that speaks
lasting praises for our teachers, and
shows that our boys and girls only
need culture to place them on equal
footing with those Of any community
as men and women of the future.
Our teachers, Miss Mamie E. Crooks
and Miss Maggie Lowman, furnished
the music on Mr.. H. A. Lorick's fire

be made good his escape. Doyle
seeing the negro go under the bridge,
which is near the guard house, fred
the pistol he had knocked from the
uegro's hand but few minutes be-
tore, thinking perhaps he would stop,
not thinking at the time that anyone
was near in the direction be was
aiming. The place was surrounded
and those present thought the negro
would be captured, but to their dis
appointment he had made his escape.
The party returned to the scene
where the scutf1s first took place and
one man said "well, here is the
negro's hat" another said, Il have
his necktie," and still another said,
"here is another hat" Upon this
discovery the question arose "where
is John Bundrlck9" This must be
his hat exclaimed Doyle and maybe
I have killed him, when D. J. Doug.
las replied, 'yes, I thought that l
heard something fall in the ditch"
Whereupon search with lighted
lantern was made and to their sur
prise John Bundrick was lying across
the stream dead. Upon examination
it was found that pistol ball had
entered his head behind the right
ear.
Doyle was completely unnerved
and weps bitterly over his act. The
community was utterly shocked and
saddened from the cries of the pa
rents when the sad news was made
known to them.
Both of these young men were
the very best of friends and if any
thing existed between them it was
not generally known to the public.
Bundrick's body was moved to his
fathers home and the Coroner was
notified to come at once and hold the
inquest. In the meantime Magis-
trate Merchant had his Deputy to
empanel a jury 80 the remains could
he examined. After DR.. j. W.
Sandel had made the examination,
the jury was dismissed till o'clock
Sunday a. ~, to meet the Coroner
and hear the evidence.
The Coroner being on hand the
jury assembled on the ground floor
of the Masonic temple and the fol-
lowing witnesses were examined:
DR.. J. ". Sandel, Jake Brennemer,
Quit Goyden, Officer Sturkie, D. j.
Douglas and Robert Doyle.
j. J. Earle, Esq, an attorney for
che town of Brookland, being present,
made q few remarks as to the evil
dence as had been given in and the
Jury after q short time rendered the
following verdict: I'VE, the jury,
find that John Bundrick came to his
death by a gun shot wound in the
hands Of Robert Doyle, while firing
at an escaped prisoner in the dark"
The deceased was young man
20 years old and he'd a host of
friends. He leaves to mourn his
untimely death loving wife, devot.

He was a consistent member of
the K. of p, and carried an insur-
ance of $1,000 90 in the endowment
rank of that order, also an insurance
in the Virginia Life Insurance Co.
The funeral was one of the largest
that was ever held in Brookland and
was preached Sunday afternoon in
the Lutheran church by his pastor,
Rev. E. L. Lybrand, and his remains

WASHINGTON, D. C


While a fair was being held recently
IN a small town in Belgium the owner
Of q menagerie announced that one Of
the villagers, who was known to pos
sess great courage, would enter that
evening cage containing two lions
and would remain there fifteen min
lutes.
When this was noised abroad, every
one determined to witness the novel
sight, and as n result there were sew
eral hundred persons In front of the
lions cage when the performance be-
gan.
At signal from the owner the cour-
ageous villager entered the cage and
stood watching the lions. They, how
ever, took not the slightest notice OF
him, and after the fifteen minutes had
expired he left the cage. AS he did so
q storm of Kisses greeted him, and the
next moment such an uproar arose
that the owner summoned the police
and the entertainment came TO an end.
The fact was the people expected
that the lions would attack the VII
lager and they were disappointed be-
cause no blood had been shed.
"Yet it is exceedingly probable" says
q French writer, that IL one of the
lions had escaped from the cage this
bloodthirsty crowd would have been
terrified almost to DEATH"
