salesman of the Chattanooga Medi-
cine Company, died in the Mission
Hospital here Sunday morning, soon
after midnight as result of shoot
ing scrape at the Gladstone Hotel,

ward with bad wound in the right
side. The two men received their
hurts at the hands Of F. C. Watkins,
town constable of Black Mountain, in
room at the Gladstone Hotel Satur-
day morning about 1:3O o'clock. The
men were brought to Asheville Satur-
day morning several hours after the
shooting occurred and taken to the
hospital for treatment. 1t was found
that Mr. Bunting was suffering from
internal hemorrhage. Mr.. Collins,
while dangerously hurt, will proba-

The officer tells the following story:
81 went up to the room," said the
constable, "where the men were and
entered. The room was in darkness
and as I entered struck a match to
see my way and lighted lamp. One
Of the men, I don't know which one,
asked who / was and I said q police
oficer-the town constable. One Of
the men with an oath said in effect,
well, we take care of all police
here AT about that time one of them
kicked the door shut and then the
light was snuffed out. Ono of the
men jumped at me and grabbed me
about the neck. the other ar the time
also closing in and clinching. The
men were both of strong build; one
of them had something in his hand
but don't know what it was. When
they closed in on me and grabbed me,
one reached for my pistol pocket. I
drew my revolver, a 32-calibre Smith
s. Wesson and in the darkness fred
two shots and the men staggered
back; one cf them fell. When I went
in there was a third person in the
room, but whether he got out before
the shooting l don't knew. I called
for the door to be opened and it vas
opened. I don't know whether from
the inside or outside. A light was
secured and the manager came in. I
assisted one of the men to a bed; the
other one went out into the hall. A
physician was summoned and in COM
pany with the physician the men were
brought tc Asheville for medical
treatment"

hotel, give story to the effect that

sEUnder the peculiar circumstances
Of this case and the report of the
Judge and solicitor, commute this

the time crime such as assault AMI

Rock Hill Water Supply.

Rock Hill, Special.-Several weeks
since an analysis of the new well,
No. 3, which had just been coupled on
to the supply of the Water, Light and
Power Company of this city, was pro-
nounced contaminated and unfit for
use. The outflow Of the well was i'm
mediately cut off and its use discon-
tinued. At the same time, and as an
extra precaution against any harm to
the consumers, the vater mains were
opened, emptied and flushed and the
big reservoir of $4,000 gallons empt-
led, the cement walls and bottom
secured and flushed, repairs made on
the brick work and vertilators, anC
the latter thoroughly screened and
protected. Since then an entirely
new top has been put on the reservoir,
and it is in better condition now thar
it has ever been. In the meantime,
the water supply-which was only in
terrupted for two days-has been
drawn from wells l and 2, both Of
which have been repeatedly pronounc-
ed pure and healthful. Mr.. R. t. Fe-
well, the local member of the Water,
Light and Power Company, is more
than interested in the purity of the
supply as ne is personal user Of the
water. But his company wishes to do
everything to guard the purity of the
water and their policy is to go the
health authorities who are most vigi-
liant, one better in their methods of
safeguarding it. Mr.. Fewell received
returns from three samples drawn
from Well No. 8, the we'll which has
been closed. These samples were sent
to the State chemists of South Caro-
lima, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
All of them pronounced the water as
perfectly pure and wholesome. The
Power Company will now, probably,
ask the beard of health for permission
to reopen the well. In the meantime
the company is continuing the sink
ing of additional eight inch wells
northwest of Winthrop College,
where they hope to find an unlimited
supply of pure water.
