sharp report OF a pistol III the direc-
ton of the outer edge of the yard.
son and after considerable searching
found him cold in death covered in
his own hood.
The bullet of the murderer had en-
tered the lower par. of the race of
the boy and the indications are that
he fell dead in his tracks. The lad
carried a lantern but this had beef,
extinguished, either in the fall or by
the assassin, and this fact made it
difficult to find the dead body.
1t is presumed that the young man
heard a noise about the shed on the
yards, and that upon approaching
he was sho tin the face.
The details of the killing will prob
ably never lie known as there is 10
clue, whatever as to who committed
the murder. which is considered one
of the most horrible crimes in the his
tory of Rowan, the boy being little
more than a child and unarmed.
Immediately after the body was
found officers went in search of the
murderer but to no avail. Blood
hounds were procured but failed to
find trail. Sheriff ~ II. Julian and
Chief of Police ]. Frank Miller have
offered a reward of $100 for the ar
rest of the guilty party.

kBv Telesraph 70 ne Tribune. J

Atlantic 'City, N. J., Dec. 21-The barge
Baker of New York, in tow light, from the
South, caught fire nysteriousy off this city to-
day and was deserted by her crew after all
hopes of saving her were gone. The crew were
taken aboard the tug which had the barge in
tow and it is presumed that they went to New
York.
The life saving of this city went off to
the burning vessel this afternoon and found it
deserted. They believe the fire was started by
some stowaway. The barge is still burning to-
night although almost entirely consumed and
is about mile from the beach. 1t was at first
believed that ii was passenger steamer, later
an oil tank and not until the life saving crew re-
turned from their tour of inspection was the
nature of the vessel learned.
