A Black Fiend Killed by a Plucky


News reaches US of a shooting
that took place at Man, Logan
county, last Friday morning, in
which Daley Wilkinson, aged Is
years, saved her fate worse than
death From what can be learned
it seems as though Miss Wilkinson
was on her way to the school house
Friday morning, when she noticed
Herman Nolan, the only coIored
man in that part of the country,
following her. In desolate piece
of woods he overlook her, grssped
her by the throat, when he felt the
touch of cold steel against his tenn
pie. and in a moment Miss Wilkin-
son had pulled the trigger of re-
volver she carried and killed him
instantly, having shot him through
the head.
Friday night his body was picked
up where it lay along the roadside.
where he fell, taken to the Guyen
river and thrown in by posse of
citizens who live in the vicinity.
1t is not supposed that Miss
Wilkinson will even have to under
go the flrmslity of attending the
coroner's inquest. as there will be
no body, and if found the citizens
would not stand for such pro
ceeding.
Miss Wilkinson bel ,ngs to the
old and honorable family at Wiki
iason. which settled early in the
Guyandotte valley, in Lincoln and
Logan counties. and hes their high
