cession by another and it looked
as if the new officers of the city
were getting a strenuous intro
duction into the criminal life of
Durham.
The excitement that caused a
great rush of people to go to the
police headquarters was the cut
ting Of Hillman High by a negro
named Ed Bass. The trouble oc-
Cured on Parish street, or around
in that section. High received
two very bad gashes in the side,
but his wounds are not of a seri-
Gus nature.
After using the knife or razor
on High the negro started for
tall timbers, going towardsiNorth
Durham. He was captured. how
ever, and then brought back to
town by policeman Ferrell, one
of the new officers. He was
locked up on the charge against
him, which he does not deny.
"Yes cut him." said the negro,
"but he was trying to run over
me"
The cutting, chase of the negro
and his arrest caused a large
number Of people to gather at
the police station.
Then followed a second arrest
in which Charles Bell was locked
up for beating a colored woman
and this added to the interest
and excitement. This arrest
was made by Sergeant Pender-
grast andofficer Crockett. These
arrests caused the report to be
circulated that there had been
another murdered and it was not
long before it was pretty gener-
ally circulated that there was a
shooting affair in East Durham.
This all proved to be untrue,
however. the killing, cutting and
woman beating caused enough
excitement to last the new men
for a few days. All of the law
breakers were landed, however,
and that is not a very bad start.

THREE NEGROES LOCKED UP.
One for Killing Another, One for Cut-
ting a White Man, and The Other
.s. for BEATING a Woman.

In police circles.matters were
lively for a while last Saturday.
One negro killed another with a
rock, another negro cut a white
man in the back, and as a
soon as the officers had locked
these two up they were called to
Hayti to get another for beating
a negro woman.
THE KILLING.
Just before one o'clock last
Saturday James Simms and Har-
vey Lyon, both of whom work at
the Duke factory. were on the
outside awaiting the time to go
in and go to work. They began
scuffling and boxing and soon
both were mad and a fight was
averted by those in the crowd
separating them. Thinking they
had sufficiently cooled down they
were let alone, when they began
trying to fight again.
Simms had a stick that was
used for turning hogsheads of
tobacco and Lyon had secured a
rock, and before those around
realized what was going on,
Lyon threw the rock at Simms.
The effect was more than is gen.
orally supposed. The rock struck
Simms on the right side of his
head and he fell to the ground.
About ten minutes later he was
dead. DR.. R. A. Moore was
summoned and was with Simms
when he died. He said that the
skull was fractured and that he
lied from the conclusion that
followed. 49,.
Seeing what he had done Lyon
endeavored to make his escape.
Securing his wheel he left the
factory going toward West Dur
ham. Policeman Gates and
Pendergrass were soon after him
with the result that in less than
twenty minutes after the crime
had been committed the criminal
was in the hands of the officers.
He was locked up in Jail.
Coroner Maddry was summon
ed and enpaneled a jury. After
inquiring into the facts the jury
rendered a verdict that Simms
came to his death sfrom a blow
from a rock thrown by Lyon,
and Lyon was committed to jail
to await the action of the grand
jury.
There is a strange coincidence
in connection with the life oi
Lyon and the crime that is now
charged against him. Back
many years ago his mother,
Becky Lyon, of Hickstown, was
arrested together with another
person on the charge of murder.
That was before Durham County
was formed and this was a part
of Orange. Becky Lyon ant
her paramour were both taken tC
Hillsboro Jail. Later the mar
was hanged on the murder
charged against him but Becky
Lyon managed to get out of tn,
trouble. While she was in Jail
however, this Harvey Lyon wal
born. Having seen the light
of day inside the walls Of a Jail
when his mother was charged
with murder, he is now back il
Jail, himself charged with mur
der.
So far as can be learned there
had been no previous trouble be
tween the men and they wer,
the best Of friends. The fata
trouble began in play and there
is no doubt but that FIVE minutes
before neither of the men ex'
Ipected any serious trouble.

There was a shooting scrape on
Foster street Sunday afternoon.
Alex Holman shot Ed Hargrove.
They were apparently on good
terms but had a dispute and the
Holman negro brought his gun
into play, shooting at Hargrove
without taking his pistol out of
his pocket. The wound was not
serious at all. Holman made his
escape and had not been caught
at last accounts.

and one soIi surviving him.
The Free Press has received a note
from his daughter, Miss kittie Bullard,
which we are glad to print in part, as
his many friends here will be interested
in knowing how his last remaining
days were passed:
lowing to the fact that you contrib
uted so much pleasure to my dear old
father in these past three years, or since
heleft Pierre by sending the Free Press
each week, want to thank you.
His eye sight was nearly gone for year.
but when the paper came some one

word. He would say, Turn to tho

the editorials and when we would
finish he would say. Are you sure you

ute lost interest in his friends at Pierre
and the happiest moments of his life
since he left there was when telling of
some happening or story about his old
Pierrelife. His death was very peace
full, although he was unconscious for a
week before, but through all his sick
ness he had story for every one"
