TWO ARE FOUND;
WERE ALMOST DEAD

Gaffney, Feb. 1.-Two unknown
negro men who slept on a pile of Gin
ders at the Globe mill Wednesday
night were found nearly dead yester-
day morning. They were almost
asphyXiated by gas arising from the
warm cinders and their faces and
hands were burned and blistered.
When found both were unconscious.
They were carried to the City hos
pital for treatment. DR.. j. n. Mes
bitt, the attending physician, report
ed that both were in a serious condi-
ton and that one may not recover.
1t is supposed that the negroes
were hoboes. as they are not known
here Both are about 25 years OF
age.
The pile of cinders upon which
they slept Wednesday night came
from the Globe mill furnace. 1t Is
thought that the pile contained some
live Goals. Finding a warm place,
the two negroes laid down and soon
went to sleep while breathing the
poisonous gases arising from the
dying embers.

JONES CROSS ROADS
SCENE OF HOMICIDE
ONE MAN KILLED AND TWO
INJURED.
Evans and Bailey Family Feud
Terminated Fatally-Threc
Are in Jail.

Edgar Bailey is dead, his brother.
Sidney Bailey is in hospital at the

Earnest Evans and Walter Ringstafr
are in the Lancaster county jaiI
charged with murder as the result
OF shooting affair at Jones Cross
Roads last Sunday afternoon. The
homicide took place about / o'clock
in the afternoon.
1t appears that bad blood had ex-
listed between the Bailey family and
the Evans family since last Christ
mas. During the holidays, members
OF the two families had an alteration
and the feeling grew more bitter as
time went on. Sunday those con-
cerned in the shooting attended SER
vice at the New Hope church and af-
ter the conclusion OF the preaching,
started for their home in the Jones
Cross Roads section, about Ave miles
from Lancaster. Walter Evans and
his sister were in a buggy in front,
and following their buggy came a
vehicle in which Edgar Bailey and
last OF the three buggies was occu-
pied by Earnest Evans and Walter
Ringstaff. 1t appears from the testi-
mony of witnesses that when the
Cross Roads was reached, Walter
Evans jumped from his buggy and
demanded that the two Bailey boys
throw up their hands. Before an
other word was said the shooting be-
gan and the two Baileys were shot
from their buggy. Edgar Bailey, q
years of age, suffered bullet wound
in the forehead, which caused his
death, but his body was also pune
tured in the back and arm. Sidney
Bailey, % years OF age, was shot in
the back and side and was paralyzed
from the waist down. Walter Evans,
% years old, suffered wound in the
face, bullet entering on the left
side OF his cheek and coming out
his left shoulder blade. All told some
| 20 shots were fired and the buggy
iir which the Baileys were riding wao
literally riddled by bullets.
! Following the shooting, Sidney
Bailey was brought to Lancaster and
rushed to the Fennell Infrmary in
! Rock Hill. where he now lies in a
/ critical condition. Walter Evans.
Ernest Evans and Walter Ringstat
were arrested by Sheriff Hunter and
Chief of Police Orr on the charge OF
murder and placed in the Lancaster
Jail.
! Coroner w. O. Caskey held an in
quest Sunday afternoon, the jury re-
turning a verdict to the effect, "we
find that Edgar Bailey came to his
death from gun-shot wounds intlict-
ed by Walter Evans, Earnest Evans
and Walter Ringstaff."
The accused men have retained
