Goldsboro,. n. c., April 24.-About
o'clock tonight there occurred one
of the omst sensational shooting af
fairs that Goldsboro has ever wit
messed. One of the most prominent
citizens of the town Mr. Arnold Borden
was shot twice by e. l.. Edmundson,
also a prominent business man. The
shooting took place in front of the
railroad waiting rooms and was Wit
messed by a number of people who
were crowding the street just at that
time. 1t is the night for the nomina-
ton of aldermen and every voter who
could leave home were out to attend
the aWrd meetings.
Mr.. Edmundson who was a candid
ate in his ward had been defeated
because he was known to be a rigid
prohibitionist.
He and Mr.. Borden were at the same
polling place and got into a contro-
versy. Mr.. Edmundson was on the
grand jury last week when a number
of people were indicted for playing
cards. When Borden and Edmund
son left the city hall where they voted
they came down the street together
and it is said by those who heard a
part of the conversation that Mr.. Bor-
den accused Mr.. Edmundson of MAX
ing the Indictment against the card
players.
This caused Edmundson to reply
with the lie. Mr.. Borden promptly
used his fist on Edmundson's face. 1t
was an exciting moment for the spec
tators who saw Gdmundson retreat a
step or two and pull pistol covered
with a handkerchief from his coat
pocket. Edmundson fired twice and
ran down the street. He was inteII
rupted by Wayne Fonvielle. who when
Edmundson pulled his gun grabbed a
chair sitting on the sidewalk. Ed
mundson went over to the drug store
of M. e. Robinson & Bro. where he is
under custody at this writing.
Mr.. Borden walked into the drug
store of Ahe Higgins Drug Company
and at the solicitation of friends pulled
off his coat before he found out that
he was shot.
He was taken to the office of Drs.
John and William Spicer where hls
wounds were examined, it was found
that he was shot Just below the nipple
on the right side of the breast and at
this time it is feared that his wound
is more serious than at first thought.

difficulty that began between them

Torn and Glenn Worley attacked
Waters with knives, and then father
went to their assistance. Waters was
cut in several places, but not seri-
ously. In some mysterious way
during the fight Waters neck was
broken low down just above the
shoulders, presumably by a heavy
blow from behind.
the manner of his killing cannot be
obtained, but the coroners jury
found that his death was at the hands
or the Worleys, and they were all
three arrested. Mr.. p. b. Worley
was released in $500 bond for his APP
pearance at court. The two sons at
tempted to make their escape, but

These parties are all we'll and fa-
vorably known farmers. the Waters
fkmily living in this, Lenofr county,

line in Jones county. Able counsel
has been retained to defend the
young men who are now in Jail here.

JEFFERSON is DEAD
Passed Away at 1.-The

Unexpected BY His
Family.
(By the Associated Press.)

West Palm Beach, Fla. April "a
-Ioseph~ Jefferson died -at--his- home,
'"The Reefs" at Palm Beach. at els
O'Clock this evening. The end came
after a day of Inconsistencies and
after a heroic struggle of days. which
had exhausted his vitality. At his
Chas. b. and Frank Jefferson; his
nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham; DR., r. B..
Porter, and his faithful old servant,
Carl Kottler.
The end was not a surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
SPELL which came after a rally on
Thursday morning. and which was fol-
lowed by an improvement until Fri
day, the family has been waiting for
the end. Mr.. Jefferson's condition
Saturday night grew steadily worse,
and the family, who had retired, were
summoned from their beds and DR..
Potter was called. The patients con-
dition continued to grow weak all
through yesterday. and the brief bulle-
tines from the bedside contained no
words of encouragement.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson, which

is believed, while on recent visit to

where he went to meet his friend,
former President Cleveland. 1t is be-
lieved that from a slight indiscretion
in his eating there, he suffered an at
tack of Indigestion. Since his return to
his home, this condition grew steadily
worse, with slight rallies until the end.
The body of Mr.. Jefferson will be
taken to Buzzard's Bay on a special
train, leaving here tomorrow evening,
accompanied by all the members of his
family who are here. 1t will reach
New York Wednesday morning. and
