McColl, May 26.-The piano re-

might be done. John threw j Il
on the bed and the latter suddenly
reached for his "side wheeler"
otherwise known as the pistol,
without which no true sport ever
goes. John said that his was lying
on the bureau and lie was trying
to hold j L so that he could not
shoot. John was endeavoring, &C
cording to his statement of the
case, to hold Il until he could
get the back door open and thus
have some means Of cgress. In
fact he meditated sudden and
speedy flight Judging that under
the circumstances this was the wise
thing to do.
But in the struggle that "side
wheeler" got into the argument.
Just whether John or j II fired it
is hard to find out. Al any rate
John got a bullet in his right
shoulder and just which place it
stopped in his body has not yet
been found out.
And this shooting broke the
charm. John made a sudden exit
by the back door. Mamie ran out
and betook herself to an adjoining
house where she remained until
after nightfall when accompanied
by her small daughter she made
her way safely home.
II also decamped and by the
time the crowd arrived there was
a small number in the house. John
was arrested at the depot and later
on in the night Il was also caught.
Mamie and Peggie were all landed
in the lookup. In the police court
on Monday morning they were

crowd of spectators. After a long
trial Mamie was dismissed. John
plead guilty and was fined sos,
Peggie was fined $25, and j Twas
given $50. His lawyer appealed
the case. There is another war

him with assault and battery with
intent to kill.

Details of Both the Oc-

Coroner Mccall held an inquest
Sunday morning over the dead
body of Lawrence Fuller. The
jury after hearing the testimony
and viewing the remains rendered
the following verdict: That the
said Lawrence Fuller came to his
death from a gunshot wound in
the hands of Hamp Purcell with
Neill Afford as accessory"
The facts in the case + these:
That last Sunday one week ago
Hamp Purcell and Neill Afford
were coming across n field about
dusk going in the direction of
Fuller's home. That Neill had a
double barrel gun in his hands and
was in front. Coming up to Full
er's home they called him out, he
at that sstime being engaged in
cooking supper. Just as he step
ped into the doorway Hamp Pur-
c~ell.grabbed the gun out of AL
ford's hands and emptied the load
into Fullcr's body. He fell and
the alleged assassin fled. NELL
was arrested at one and taken to
Bennettsville and lodged in Jail.
Fuller fingered n week and died
Sunday morning. At the inquest
which was held that morning the
above facts were brought ouy.
Hamp Purcell fled Immediately at
ter the occurrence and is still at
large. A warrant is out for him
and he will in all probability be
soon arrested and placed behind
the bars. Afford was arrested i'm
mediatcly after the shooting and
put in Jail. 1t is stated that when
Purcell. fired The gun Afford pull
ed out a pistol and fired five times.

ncr's Bluff.
Previous to that time, however,
Winsler Drigges;a notorious horse
thief and bandit, was cabturcd and

ford. He was hanged on April
2S, 1909.
Tradition says that Bedford
was innocent. a woman was found
dead in her bed and her young ba-
by by her side. Strong circum-
%ssantial evidence pointed to Bodi-
ford as the murderer. Years after
he was hanged, another man con
Icsscd, on his dcathbed. that he
killed the woman and that Bodi-
ford had nothing to do with the
murder.
Williams Pcgucs was foreman
Of the jury that convicted Bodi-
ford.
Then for A years this county
did not have a hanging.
On Friday, Jan 5, 1858, Lewis

which it was announced that at O'clock
tomorrow, if a favorable wind pre-

tain Baldwin's "Aeronaut' will take
