Tragedy in RaIeiah.

raleigh. Special.-A little before
noon Thursday n of the most be-
loved men in Raleigh, James H. AL
ford, almost seventy years old. was
shot down and fatally injured in his
printing establishment by R.. D. Bv-
mum, a man of IS years, one of his
partners in the job printing business.
Afford died Thursday night. The 9TH
er partner of the firm of Afford. BY.
mum & C~hristophers, namely, Charles
D. Christophers, was present and wit
messed the shooting. The front door
of the establishment is closed. and
the terrible affair occurred in he
printing room, which is separated
from the front Office by a door.
Bynum is a hard drinker, and has
been on a debauch for some days.
It is stated that he went into the place
and began to curse Mr.. Afford, and
then made a motion as if to pull a
pistol from a hip pocket. At this Al
ford moved towards him, and then.
according to Affords statement, By
mum rapidly shot three times. The
pistol must have been held very close
to the body. Powder burns show
where two bullets entered the right
breast. one bullet remaining in the
body and the other going upward and
smashing a shoulder blade. The 9TH
er bullet seems to have missed it's
mark. Tie old men fell between the
cases, C~hristophers failing to stop
Bynum from leaving the place, evil
IDENTIFY fearing that tae drunken man
would shoot him also. 1t seems that
only n or two persons heard the
noise Of the shot, but did not locate
it. Bynum walked out of the front
door and along East Hargett street.
His dishavelled appearance led enc
or two persons who passed him to
ask MIN what was the matter. He re-.
piled in a drunken voice that he did
not know, or something to that effect,
and went on to the corner, turning
down South Blount street a few
blocks from the capitol building. The
first man who got into the inside OF
the place was led to enter by the ap-
pearance Of Christophers, who in his
shirt sleeves and his shoulder GOV
cred with blood. ran out the front
door. The man who entered aided
Christophers and some others who
came in in removing Afford to the Of
fee.

Farmer Had to Sprint

over in a second and the little girl
probably killed, SO he held on with
a death grip, kept the wagon in the
road and ran as a man new a be-
fore.
The heavy wagon, with its ton and
a half of rock for a load, crashed and
roared behind him, and, gathering
speed with every second, few like an
express train down the incline, bound
ing over the inequalities Of the road
and iercely striking fire from the
stones.
Ditweiler ran till his legs fairly aut.
tered beneath him. A IA who was
crossing the street with a wheelbar-
row gave one frightened glance at the
coming avalanche, dropped his bar
row and an. Ditweiler jumped the
obstruction, which was crushed to
pieces beneath, the wheels Of the
wagon.
The hill is 500 feet long, and, after
the bottom was reached, the wagon
ran 500 feet further before it's speed
was slackened and Ditweiler, by dig
ging the tongue into the earth, could
bring it to a stop.
The plucky farmer was gasping for
breath and dripping with perspiration
when his trial was over, but the little
girl was laughing gleefully at the
splendid ride" she had enjoyed,
Not a single egg was broken.-St.
