Just as soon as1t became known
that Conductor Boulg5n had been shot

threatened the life$of the unknown,
but they, decided 10 await develop

.ductor had been wounded When the
word was sent from; bis home that he
had expired, a mob was organized in
less than thirty minutes and nothing
less than a regimant of soldiers could
have stopped theN frenzied crowd.
They knew thRf extra precaution
had been taken BY the hospital and
county authorities to guard Negro
against violence, lS;but that made no
difference, and boldly they rushed to
the door of the institution, demand
ing admittance, Resistance was at
first shown, but: the mob was deter
mined, and waded through the guards
nurses and physicians to the room Of
the dark-skinned mnrderer, who had
already been quite seriously wounded
by Boulton in h1a,effort to defend HIM
self There was; no parleying at the
Negros bedside He was yanked
from the bed and carried out of the
building with all possible haste
Appeals for mercy coming from the
colored man, fell on deaf ears, and

the latter discovered him. Ordered to
get off, the colored man pulled a re-
volver and fred the bullet taking ef-
feet in Boultons abdomen. Though in
jured so badly that he fell to his knees
Boulton brought his gun into play and
shot the Negro in the side. Neither
men could walk and both were taken
to- Welch; where Boulton. was removed
to his home and the Negro Was sent
to the hospital.
1t has been a long time since the
last lYnching bee in this state, and
the Welch incident has created a great
sensation. While the officials Of Nc.
Dowell county have an idea who form
ed the mob, they have no definite in
formation, and it will be difficult for
them to establish the identity Of any
Of the participants
The Negro was of the blackest type
and having no marks OF identification
about his body his name may never
be learned
