TRAGEDY AT MANTEO.

ly Wounded by Father of the
Woman's Children-Two Yer
sions of the Affair.
Raleigh Dispatch, 11th
A special from Manteo, N. c.,
says:
This morning near Manteo AL. |
Thompson shot and killed his
wife and wounded w. H. Sea-
man, the man with whom she re-
Gently eloped. The wife and her
paramour had returned and TAX
en- two children in Thompson s
possession, and to regain posses
sion of the children the shooting
occurred.
The report is that Thompson,
upon learning that his wife had
returned and secured his child
rem, armed himself with a revol-
yer and went and demanded
them. Seaman met him in the
porch and refused to surrender
the children, whereupon Thomp-
son shot him down. In the
meantime the woman was seen
trying to escape with the small
er one in her ans, and Thomp-
son, with the weapon still smok-
ing, shot her dead. At late
hour Seaman is still living, but
the physicians have not been able
to extract the bullet, which is
lodged in his breast or shoulder.
Thompson hunted the sheriff
and surrendered. The woman is
respectfully connected in Dare
county.
A dispatch Of the 18th from
Manteo gives a different compex-
ion to the affair. 1t states that
the woman learned that her mar
riage with Thompson was big
amous, clipped and married Sea-
man, and returned to Manteo to
get her two children born while
living with Thompson. At the
preliminary examination it was
in evidence that Thompson went
to the house where the Seamans
had stopped and began shooting
without a word, no resistance
being offered, shooting Seaman
down on the porch and going in
to the house and killing the wo-
man with a child in her arms.
1t was further stated that
Thompson recently finished a
term in the Virginia peintentiary
for bigamy and that he appear
ed unconcerned, joking with
friends about the crime

Work Actually Commenced on the
Electric Road Between Lansing
and Owosso-Grading to be
Continued All Winter.

Several weeks ago The TIMES assur-
ed its readers that with T. W. Atwood
in command an electric railroad be-
tween Lansing and Owosso was a
certainty. This belief was based more
upon the record of Mr.. Atwood as a
man who works on the job" rather
than from anything said, although his
remark, II think it will be built, -
meant much. At that time the plan
contemplated the building of the road
via Bennington and Laingsburg but
when the citizens along the line via
Shaftsburg, Perry and Morrice took
hold of the right of way question with
the determination to secure the road
for their villages, they quickly interest
ed the management which ordered a
survey of the proposed route and this
showed the same to be feasible both as
to distance and the cost of building.
With just hint that the right of way
was the next essential step, committees
representing these villages and Owosso
went to work with quiet determine
tion to secure the same without delay
and this has been done so that today
with but three or four exceptions
releases for the rights of way have
been signed. 1t is not believed that
any particular trouble will be had to
close up with the others interested.
Better than all else, the work of grad
ing was actually commenced Wednes-
day just west of Morrice and from now
on there will be no let-up. Fix it firm
ly in your mind Owosso and Shiawas-
see are at last to have another electric
road and it will be through good
country, too.

To Comply with New Labor Law.

Owosso merchants intend to comply
with the regulation of the law passed
by the last session of the legislature
which limits the hours of labor for fe-
male employees to "a in a week, and not
to exceed ten in any one day. Several
conferences were held the latter part of
the week and as result all the stores,
except the drug and confectionery,
agreed to close on Monday evenings at
six o'clock, and the new arrangement
was put into effect Monday evening.
On Saturday the clerks will work in
shifts, some coming at the usual hour
in the morning, others not until nine or
nine-thirty, at which time those wi o
came first will go home to remain until
noon. By this means the stores can lie
kept open in the evening until nine
o'clock, and none of the female EN-
ployees be required to work over ten
hours
