A Sunday Shooting Scrape.

Ferrell Milan, young white man of
the county, is under bond for his ap-
pearance at the next term of the crim-
nal court to answer to the charge of
assault and battery with intent to kill.
This is the result of fight Milan
had with Adler Madden, a negro farm
hand employed by Mr.. Ert Adair, last
Sunday morning at negro house on
Mr.. jim Milam's place
According to statement made by
Milan it seems that Madden was abus-
ing and whipping a negro woman in her
own yard, which is in sight of Mr.. Mil
ans, when he decided to interfere for
the purpose of putting stop to the dis
turbance. Madden resented the interfer-
ence and after retreating within the
woman's house, the fight began. Milan
was struck on the head, apparently
with rock or brick when he drew his
pistol and fired at the negro two or
three times at close range One shot
took effect which entered the negroe' S
arm just above the wrist and came out
at point between the elbow and shoul-
der.

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Smith Fuller, Little Son of Mr.. Glenn
Fuller, Accidentally Shot and Killed.

Smith Fuller, aged eleven years, eld-
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn Fuller,
accidentally shot and killed himself last
Friday morning about 10 o'clock while
hunting with two neighbor boys near
his fathers home, seven miles West of
the city. AS soon as the shocking news
reached the city quite number of the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller drove
out to offer coincidence and any assist
ance that might be needed.
The little fellow was laid to rest in
the church yard at Chestnut Ridge Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock.
1t is not definitely known just how
the accident occurred as the unfortu-
nate lad was instantly killed, and it is
understood that neither of his COM
panions, Masters John Bolt and Willie
Wolff, witnessed the tragedy, though
only little in advance when the start
ling report of the gun rang out imme-
diately behind them.
1t is certain, however, that he was
shot just as he was attempting to get
over the trunk of blown down tree.
One theory is that in putting the gun,
double barreled muzzle loader, over
the log before he crossed himself, it
was discharged by the hammers strik-
ing the log. Another is that he was
probably standing on the trees trunk
and either dropped his gun or attempted
to place it at an Eat rest" position, when
it slipped off and was discharged in the
manner indicated in the first theory adj
vanced.
The alarm was given at once by the
boys and members of the family has
tened to the scene and the body was
moved to the house.
The afflicted family have the sympa-
thy of all their friends in this sore be-
reavement.
The deceased, who was a grandson of
DIR. A. G. Fuller and of the late DIR.
John r. Smith, is said to have been an
unusually bright and attractive youth
and was a general favorite with all
who knew him.

WITH THE LAW BREAKERS.
One Negro Shot and Another Has Skull
Fractured.


Sheriff Duckett and his deputies are
going after the law breakers these days.
The Jail is thronged now and there
must be nearly score out on bond.
And still they come.
Monday afternoon Lonnie Fleming. n
young negro of Clinton, was brought in
by Deputy Sullivan. Fleming is charg-
ed with shooting two other bucks, Sim
Rice and Jay Rhoden, in row at a
church festival near Clinton Saturday
night. Rhoden was shot through the
body and will probably die. Rice came
off lighter, receiving only slight flesh
wound in the leg.
To show that these disturbances are
not confined to any particular section,
though the general cause may be the
same, it only needs to be related that
the usually peaceful community of Ian
ford Station has been invaded Satur-
day night at some kind Of negro gath
ering row started up and when they
came. to count noses, Moses Hannah
was found with his head cracked. This
had been accomplished, it is said, by
Dorroh Griffith who used an ordinary
stick or club, simply to defend himself.
At any rate Moses was dealt a terrific
blow and his chances of recovery are
regarded as slim.
Griffith was lodged in Jail yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Glenn.
