this questionable accident of resem-

to believe him anything but what he
CLAIMED to be. The mans demeanor
was consistently discreet and self
contained: he moved about the ship
openly and without any apparent at
tempt to pry upon the doings of the
adventurer. whom he fell into the
easy ship-board way of greeting ami
ably but coolly. Only in one instance.

but courteous salutations. and then
De Hyeres himself seemed to seek
the interview. approaching O'Rourke

POSSE CAPTURES
WOULD-BE SLAYER
After He Fires Several Times
and Tries to Take His
Own Life.

AS the result OF shooting az
fair that happened at Alamston
Wednesday morning, William Edgell
is prisoner in the county Jail
charged with shooting at Chapman
]. Costilow with intent TO kill.
Several days ago the two men had
an argument and every time they
met since they had words.
Wednesday morning Edgell came
down to the hotel in which Costilow
has wall paper and paint store.
Costilow was standing on the porch.
The argument was again started and
some words exchanged, when Edgell
drew revolver from his pocket and
fired at Costilow. The bullet missed
Costilow and lodged in the roof of
the porch. From fright Costilow
fell back against the side of the
building and Edgell started to make
his escape, thinking that he had
killed Costilow.
After recovering Costilow gave
chase and in few minutes several
other peeole took 1t up. Whenever
they got too close to Edgell he
turned and fired at them until
he had only one bullet left in the
gun and he was tired out and could
run no farther. Then he shot on
one of his own fingers and sur
rendered to the pursuing band which
had multiplied until there were
more than fifty people in the crowd.
sheriff Percy Byrd was notified
and he went out to Northview,
where the capture was made,
brought Edgell to the city and
locked him up. Costilow appeared
before Justice Jackson v, Carter and
swore out a warrant for his arrest,
The hearing was set for 1880 O'Clock
Thursday evening.
