Walter Frum Narrowly Escapes
Death at Hands of
Young Martin.
CONTENTS OF A SHOT GUN
Are Emptied at Him and Strike
His Hat and Buggy on
the Highway.

Walter Frum, a member OF the
present grand jury, narrowly escaped
death Wednesday morning at the
hands of Reavy Martin, half-witted
son Of Byron Martin, residing near
Meadowbrook. Young Martin Is
about 21 years of age, but has had o
: weak mind all his life.
At noon Monday while the Frum
family ate dinner, Martin entered
the dining room at the Frum home
In a rather excited condition and
asked for the key to Smith chapel,
remarklng that he intended to kill a
man, who he said vas therein. Mr..
Frum informed him the key was moi
there and Martin left. He met Leo
Moore on the place and told him he
intended to get gun and kill Frum
because of his refusal to give him the
key. He told Moore he had $1,000
in money in the church. An hour
later Martin appeared in the neigh
borhood OF Frum's house with a shot
gun, but Moore and another man pre-
Vailed upon him to leave.
Although Frum was on the lookout
for the fellow, he did not see him
again until Wednesday morning as
he was driving from home to the city
to resume his work as grand juror.
As he approached the Dexter Smith
home, he saw Martin going into the
woods 100 yards from the public
highway, carrying a shot gun. He
had been in the road and If Frum had
been five minutes earlier the two
would have met on the road, and,
possibly, Frum would have been shot
dead.
AS soon as Martin saw Frum ap-
proaching in his buggy, he turne /
and yelled and then fired at him. The
load peppered the buggy and Frum's
hat but did Frum no injury. The
latter then got out of range.
Coming to tn Getty, Mr.. Frum
swore out warrant in Justice Harry
Gordon's court and Deputy sheriffs
John NJ. Knox and John G. Lang went
down to arrest Martin.

Richmond, Va, June 3.-The uni
versal love and esteem in which the
~ emory OF jefferson Davis is held was
given expression throughout the South
today by exercises comm en- Grating tn e
Tooth anniversary of the great chief
A1abama,i in Florida and the Carolinas,
in Kentucky, where Mr.. Davis was
born, and in Mississippi, where he
spent the declining years of his life,
II otable public observances were held.
In this city, where, on February 18,
1861, he was inauguarated President of
the Confederaey, the principal feature
of the centennial celebration was the
turning over to the city of Richmond
of the handsome memorial erected by
citation. This monument, which was
unveiled at the Confederate reunion
here a year ago, was paid from fund
raised by the United Daughters OF tho
Confederacy.
In New Orleans, where Mr.. Davis
passed away on Dec. 6, 1889, the GEN.
tennial anniversary was observed by
the breaking OF ground for the Davis
monument to be erected by the Conted-
crate veterans
From Maryland to Texas and from
Florida to Missouri the centennial is
being observed with special exercises
in the public schools and under the
cieties and veterans organizations. In
Louis isiana, as usual, there was a State
wide observance of Confederate Me-
mortal Day. In Florida, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Tex
served as public holiday.

the Navy Department of the readiness

The committee, through Chairman
Winston, emphasizes the fact that this
is purely a matter for the Navy Depart
ment and the committee, and that the

INFANTRY At THE FORT
Work Of the Soldier Boys Is
Now In Full Swing.
Sea Coast Defense MdnOeuVfeS We're
Inauqurated by National Guard
Yesterday Morning.
Wilmington Star.

Reports from Fort Caswell yesterday
were to the effect that the fourteen com
panies of the North Carolina National
Guard, composing the provisional regi-
ment under command of Lieutenant
Colonel John Van B. Metts, We're com
fortably encamped on the reservation
and were sbecoming acquainted with
real army life in admirable sty le.
During these exercises each company
was divided into three squads, one in
charge Of the firing, one in charge of
ammunitio and the other being what
is known as the observation squad.
The work with the guns is said to have
been very ereditahle for noyices, and
the training they are receiving will be
invaluable to them. These maneuyres
with the artillery will probably be
continued through to-day, and then the
small arms practice and outpost and
advance and rear guard duty of the
infantry will be commenced.
Special trips are being made to the
Fort by the steamer Wilmington and
other craft, and in this way the men
are enabled to keep in touch with the
ttolks at home,'' and write that the
experience they are having is great, if
arduous. 1.-The citizen soldiers have
received very cordial welcome from
the officers and men of the post, and
are looking forward to the remaining
days of the maneuvres with much
pleasure.
The preliminaries of organizing the
infantry for the sea coast defenses W as
gone through with under very favora-
BILE conditions and the regular army
officers in charge are quoted as being
we'll pleased with the experiment thus
far, and are looking forward to week
of hard but pleasant service with the
citizen soldiers. The exercises yester-
day morning consisted largely of work
in the batteries with the heavy artiI-
lery. Each section of the batteries was
placed in charge OF one company and
the men were given instruction in the
use of the big guns and of the cooper
ative work that would be required ct
them in actual warfare.
