MURDER OF SKINNER.

Alleged That Haywood Held Smok-
 ing Pistol Leve1ed at Victim.
 RALEIGH. N. o., Oct. 3.-Twenty- five witnesses we're examined in the trial of Ernest Haywood for the mur- der of Ludlow Skinner. With the ex- ception of two witnesses none testified to having seen anything of the killing until they were attracted by the sound of pistol shot and saw Haywood standing on the sidewalk near the south end of the post office with his smoking pistol leveled at Skinner, who was moving rapidly across the street. AS he came near to the center of it the second shot came as Skinner slightly turned, and then he continued stum- bling in half circle till he fell to the ground on his face, dying almost at once.
 The last two witnesses of the day were Messrs. Sauls and Woods, who testified that they saw Ernest Hay wood and Ludlow Skinner standing talking peacefully at the foot of the south steps of the post office; that then Skinner turned and as he was leaving the sidewalk Haywood shot once and that the second shot came as described by the other witnesses.

Farmer Plus Hen Caught Rare Fox
Wary SlvsGray Fell When Pierre Used Fcahered Live Bait Drew Fowl to Trap by Aid of String Followed and Was Made Prisoner

make off with a chicken. Finally his depredations became the joke of the neighborhood, and Farmer Pierce was good -naturedly 'guyed" until he got sore.
 You folks think Pm not much of a fox hunter" he said to his next-door neighbor, but I'll get that little devil yet-and I'll get him alive"
 That night when the moon was well up he put new scheme in operation. Catching Plymouth Rock chicken, Pierce tied 8 strong string to one of its legs and liberated the fowl on 8 hill back of the henhouse. Then he took the other end of the string, passed it through a pulley just inside the hole in the henhouse floor and carried it to point back of the barn where he could watch the hill without being seen. He sprinkled trail of corn from the hill to the henhouse and waited developments.
 Then, says the New York World, the chicken which had been given short feed for couple of days, took up the end of the trail and slowly but surely the corn made it's way into the hens midst When it stopped or digressed tug on the line served to hurry it along A light wind blew from the di- rection of the hill, and when the fox showed up about midnight it failed to scent danger.
 First the little animals nose ap- peared over the hill, and then the furry body, lying close to the ground followed Pierce gave the string a gentle pull and the chicken progressed toward the henhouse. The fox followed and prepared to jump on it's prey Just as it was getting ready to spring the farmer gave the string another jerk and the fox was forced to crawl along once more in order to get within striking distance.
 This was repeated several times, and before the silver fox knew 1t he was worming his way through the hole in the house His tail had hardly disap- 1 peared before the farmer ran up, rolled a rock in front of the aperture and made the fox his captive. It was then easy to snare him and place him in big wooden crate. Here he was left for the night. In the morning when Pierce went to look over his captive he found Nhim dead. During the early ! morning hours the little animal had repeatedly jumped against the strone timbers in an effort to butt his way f l freedom until he had fractured h

The farmer never expected to see. the little animal again, but two mornings later he got glimpse of shining sil- gery tail disappearing over the hill back of the barn.
 Believing that the fox had lost his parents and was foraging for himself, he came to the conclusion that he would return. and laid plans to cap ture him. He set several traps, and even lay in wait for the animal. but all to no purpose. Whenever a trap was laid the fox smelled trouble and kept out of rife shot.

A VALENTINE PARTY.

Miss Cassie Rembert was hostess
yesterday afternoon at a very attrac-
tive party, given in honor of St VAL
entine's Day. In all the surroundings
the spirit of the festival was suggest
ed. Hearts were everywhere, hung in
the vines of bamboo with which the
rooms were decorated, draped in gar
lands across the curtains, and fasten-
ed to the white candle shades. Red
carnations added their color to the
scene.
AS the guests entered, each was
handed little red heart within which
was concealed the fortune of the re-
cipient. They were then seated at
small tables, at each of which a diff
ferent game was played. These were
all original and suited to the sentiment
of the day. At one, there were heads
of noted men pasted on comic Valen-
tines, one of the most amusing being
that which showed Roosevelt and
Booker Washington together. AT an
other table, it was the task of the
players to compose love verses, and
in this manneE the idea of the enter
tainment was worked out.
The first prize was a picture frame
decorated with cupids and hearts. 1t
was won by Miss Vaughn. Mrs. La
than of Alabama won the second
prize, which was two small heart
shaped boxes of candy tied together
| with red ribbons on which were in
scribed the familiar words, 1.-TWO
hearts that beat as one"
