NEGRO KILLS Three.
Then BURNS Them
Brutal Crime Near Durham,
North Carolina.
negro HAS Been CAPTURED

Negro Said to Have Assaulted Little
Girl, Killed Her Father and His
Daughter, Then Set Fire to Their
Home.
A series of the blacklist crimes ever
committed in North Carolina was un.
earthed at the home of j. l.. Sanders
In Granville county, when a supposed
criminal assault on a young girl, a
triple murder, and the destruction OF
the home of the victims, together with
their bodies, were discovered by neigh
bors.
Nathan Montague, a negro, charged
with the crimes, is lodged in the jail
at Durham, after a long and exciting
cross-country chase by the sheriff to
escape mob. Intense excitement
prevails throughout the section of the
Sanders home and in Durham as well
and trouble may develop any minute
When neighbors, attracted by the
sight of a burning house. rushed to
the Sanders home gruesome pic
ture met their gaze. On the ground
were traces of a struggle, parts of a
girls hair and clothing, and pools Of
blood. When the fire died down the
charred bodies Of Miss Mary Sanders
her father, j. L. Sanders, and his ~
year-old granddaughter were found in
the embers.
Nearby was bloody knife, the in
strument of crime, and a neighbor in
stantly recognized it as one he had
seen Montague helping kill hogs with
the day before. He conveyed it al
once to the sheriff and when the latter
arrived at Montague's home he found
the negro trembling and spattered
with blood with hair sticking in it.
Keeping the presence Of the negro
a secret in Granville county, the
sheriff rushed with him at once tC
Durham.

BROTHERS HAVE A
FATAL DIFFICULTY
Duel to the Death Over Gray
Mule.
SHOCKING ALABAMA TRAGEDY

John and viii Benefited Quarreled
Over Mule--White Benefited Tried
to Make Peace in Vain, and Then
Shooting Began.
AS the result of quarrel over the
ownership of small gray mule, VIII
Benefited, John Benefited and White
Benefited, brothers and well-to-do
farmers, who reside near Hopewell,
Ala, just across the Georgia line, en-
gagged in a duel with revolvers and all
three were killed.
During the fight, the mule, which
was the innocent cause of the fight,
was also killed.
1t seems that the mule was in the
possession of John Benefited, but VIII
Benefited claimed to be the owner, and
had demanded the return of the ami
man. John Benefited refused to sur
render the mule. alleging that his
brothers claim was unjust.
A bitter quarrel between Will and
John Benefited followed, and White
Benefited, the older brother, tried to
act as peacemaker and have the own
ership of the mule submitted to arbi-
tration.
John Benefited was willing, but Will
Benefited said the mule was his prop
erty and he intended to have the ami
NAL
Will Benefited tried to lead the mule
away and was warned to stop by his
brother John. There was another ex-
change of bitter words, and then both
John and Will Benefited drew their
revolvers and began firing at each
other at close range. Both men
emptied their revolvers, every shot
taking effect.
When the smoke cleared away, John
and will Benefited and the mule were
dead and White Benefited, who had
tried to stop the quarrel, was dying.
He lived only few minutes.
All three brothers were prominent
in their section, and each of them
leaves a wife and children.
While the dispute over the mule
was the immediate cause of the trag,
edy, it is said that the real bitterness
between John and Will Benefited was
due to an alleged insult which Will
Benefited is said to have offered Johns
wife.
