sulting in his death Friday night,

fusirg to check the speed OF the fly

explosion came, the fly wheel burst
to pieces and Mr.. Laughery was
struck on the right side CT the face
and head by a flat piece of iron, bis
face and skull being crushed in. When

and tore a large hole in the roof. an
other section struck a wheel about Is

gallons of beer. The officers knew in
advance that this was portable affair
and that the still had two localities, a
half mile apart. They went to the
other place and found a number of fer
menters. The still was near the resi-
dence of Beattie Grice, and there was
a path from one to the other. The Of
ticers raided the still at midnight and
spent only an hour or so in the vicini-
ty, but it required seven or eight
hours to reach the city again as the

SENSATIONAL MURDER CASE.
4 Young Woman Tried Cor Killing
A Young Man.

Marion had quite sensational tria
last week, in which Miss Josephine
Burns was tried for murder. Miss
Burns is a young white woman Of
Nichols and is on trial for killing
Dustin II. Sarvis, a young telegraph
operator at Nichols in last November.
Since the tragic occurrence she has
been in North Carolina, but duly ap-
peared for trial.
1t will be rcmem bered that at the
time of the killing it was stated by
the accused that she had be EN- secret
ly married TO Sarvis several months
prior to that time and that she had
gone to see him at the depot in Mich
OILS to insist upon his announcing
their marriage: that he refused to do
so. Gccame angry, slot Eer in the
head with d pistol aad then shot him
self, dying instantly. The verdict OF
the coroner's jury was in accordance
with tl.is statement.
Tie theory OF the prosecution is to
the effect that she shot the deceased
and then attempted to commit sui
eide, the testimony of the States wit
ncsses being that he saw her shoot
herself. She was wounded in the fore
head, the ball narrowly missing the
brain. There was some delay in form
ing jury so many jurors stating they
had expressed an opinion on the case.
Naturally much interest was mani
tested but no new sensa tional features
have been developed. The court
room was filled with crowd Of spec
tatorS. The young lady was acquitted
by the jury.

Fooled With Brer Rabbit.

Last week an old negro captured a
rattlesnake and sold it to DR.. Mcleod,
of Macon, Ga, who wished to expert
meni with it. On Saturday lie placed
a live rabbit in the cage to see what
the snake would do with it. The
snake would not notice the rabbit till
be was molested, and then he at
tempted to bit the rabbit, but only
succeeded in getting his mouth fuflof
fur. Sunday night they both seemed
to be well, but not so Monday morn
ing. The rabbit was well, but the
snake was far from we'll. He was
minus his head and part OF his neck.
The flesh being gnawed entirely off of
the bone for several inches next to his
head. His rattles were beaten to
pieces, supposedly in bis fight with
the rabbit, and the floor Of the cage
was covered with blood. showing that
the rabbit had killed him, and not
that he had eaten the snake after it
had died natural death, as there
would then have been no blood. The
rabbit seems to be none the worse fol
the fray.
