was wanted for stealing watch in Colds
boro. The trial resulted In his acquittal.
George w. Whitley was appointed to walt
on Jones and command him to leave town.
He did not heed the warning and as a
result is dead. The facts Of the shoot
ing are these:
About o'clock this morning two police
officers heard shooting on Goldsboro
Street. They went in that direction and
were guided to the scene of the shooting
by the cries of the wounded man, who
was making frantic efforts to summon
medical aid. He told the officers that

he had fired for his own protection, and
that the mob had opened fire upon him.

classes a greater portion OF the number

bring the guilty ones to Justice. The
relatives Of the deceased have been noti.
fed, but as yet there have been no re-
plies. The remains heve been turned over

Protect Them. b
A herd of from forty to fifty buffaloes
ranges in one Of the most inaccessible
regions Of Colorado. says the New York
Tribune. Its existence has been known
to few for years. Game Commits
sioner Harris is one Of these. This
herd has never been counted in compu-
tations of the number of buffaloes left
alive. This band. of which the COM
missioner has known for nearly twenty
years, is Of mountain bison. The ami
mails are in prime condition. owing to
excellent pasturage and uninterrupted
life. Among the hidden herd is a
great bull of enormous bulk, thought
to be the largest bison on the continent
The home of the herd is beautiful
little valley Of about forty thousand
acres In the very heart Of the noun
tains 1t is entered by narrow, al
most hidden pass. It IS the deternjna-
ton of Game Commissioner Harris
that no one shall learn Of the location
of the herd until the government has
set aside all the land In the valley and
around 1t fer great preserve, similar,
on a small scale. to Yellowstone park
