HANDS DOWN.
Elected Magistrate of Fifth District
over Pedrick.

Elected Magistrate of Fifth District
over Pedrick.
H. ]. Founder was yesterday elected
justice of the peace of the Fifth Dis
trict to succeed Magistrate Hesling.
The election was without incident.
A total vote of f1fty-six was polIed
out of registration of 1870. Founder
received thirty-seven votes, and his
opponent, J. X. Pedrick, received the
remaining nineteen. The ballotine
was not very lively and all in all the
election was a rather tame affair. The
friends of the successful candidate saw
that they were never in doubt as to
the result.
Several voters were challenged dur
ing the day and were turned down.
After the count the losing candidate
stated that he had nothing to say at
this time. Mr.. Founder is not at all
worried, he says. and will take the
oath of office upon the return of Ordi-
nary McAlpin. The new Justice will
have his office at his place of business
near the old toll gate, on the Thunder
bolt road.

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN
NEGRO ARMED WITH PICKETT
KILLED BY JULIAN BECKETT.
TRAGEDY AT THUNDERBOLT.
RAID ON GAMBLING GAME ENDED
WITH A HOMICIDE.

Trlnneu Ellis Wrenched Picket
From n Fence and Tried TO Brain
MIR. Beclxett-Was shot He Was
Advancing Marshal Crawford
Had Called Upon Mr.. Beckett and
Others 10 Assist in Raid-Three
Negroes Made Prisoners - Dead
Man Was Wen known to AuthOrt-
ties.
While attempting to brain Mr.. Ju-
uan Beckett with a picket at Thun-
derbolt al midnight last night Trinneh
Ellis. colored. was shot through the
head and killed. The shot was fired
BY Mr.. Beckett. who had been called
upon TO assist in a raid on house In
which a crowd of negroes were gam
bling.
About midnight it was reported to
Marshal Tom Crawford that half
dozen or more negroes were gam
bling in a shack near Bannon Lodge
The marshal organized a posse TO raid
the place, and Mr.. Beckett was among
those who answered the call. The
shack was surrounded and the party
closed in on the negroes, who were
'skinning" AS soon as the command
to halt was given they scattered IN
every direction.
Ellis Jumped from the house and
wrenched a picket from the fence and
started for Mr.. Beckett, who was be-
tween him and liberty. AS Ellis ad-
vanced on the young man he raised
the picket TO strike. Mr. Beckett said
that in defense of his life he opened
fire on the negro who fell in his tracks,
the picket still in his hands.
Ellis may have been hit more than
once, but a bullet through his head
caused instant death. A number of
shots were fired and three of the ne
groes who were in the house were
made prisoners after the shooting.
They were taken to the town jail
where they are held for gambling.
Recorder L. w. Nelson Immediately
notified Coroner Keller of the tragedy.
The coroner replied by telephone that
he would leave the matter in the hands
of the Thunderbolt authorities, but
said he will make an investigation
this morning. Inasmuch as there
were eye witnesses to the homicide the
coroner will probably decide than an
inquest is unnecessary. In this event
Mr.. Beckett will be given a prelimi-
mary hearing by Recorder Nelson.
Ellis was well known to the author
tiles at Thunderbolt and was at one
time in the custody of the officers in
the city. He was arrested several
years ago with a white woman near
Thunderbolt, and both were sentenced
to the changing by Judge Norwood.
Upon the promise of the woman to re-
turn to the North, from where she
came, she was released, but the negro
served out his sentence. The woman
did not leave the city, but some time
later committed suicide in a house
near York lane and Price streets.
