 Col. duMont, before leaving. stated to The Advertiser that there was much to be ascertained. but could not go into details as to 1t.
 James Fleming, a young white man. was round dead In front of his fathers home in the Barker Cotton Mill settle ment, about three miles northeast or tive. Fleming was discovered to have a pistol shot in the back of his head. His body was cold. Sheriff Powers was notified of the ghastly find and. with Deputies Green and McCarron went to the home where the young man was lying a corpse, and made an investiga- ton.
 Later the sheriff and deputies placed under arrest James Collins, also white. and a fellow empioys of s,,nr Fleming at any knowledge of the shooting. He | subsequently, however, made state. ment, in substance as follows: Collins and Fleming, with two other | for a good time. Fleming told Collins he was going off for awhile and that Collins should wait his return; that in order him to halt halt the third time, and | in event there was no reply. to shoot, After Fleming had been gone several minutes Collins saw someone coming | and he hailed the man to stop No re- re- ply was given and after hailing the third time and the man going towards some bushes, he fired the fataf snot. his home and did not tell any ono of having shot a person.
 The sheriff appears to have an idea that there is something else In the hA .An n m | by Collins. The fact that the bullet | entered the back of Fleming's head and l Collins going home and not telling any one of having killed man. gives color | to the opinion that another story may | be told. Both of the men were young and well known here. Collins Is being held in the county Jail.
