A Negro .Mail Burned l*|> In a
House
On Saturday night last a small
house in Mr. lT A Funderburk's
yard, near Taliernacle, was burned
and Millen Walker, a young
colored man about 22 years old,
was burned up in it. It is
not known how the tire originated,
but it is supposed that the negro
went to bed leaving a big tire
burning and that after he fell
asleep a stick of wood rolled out
on the Hour, or, else that fire popped
out into his box of clothing,
which he kept at one side of the
tireplace. Mrs. Funderburk was
awakened between 0 and 10o'clock
j by a noise which she told her
husband Mounded like a buggy
I coming up into the yard. Mr.
j F., got up pulled the curtains
back and looked out into the yard
when he discovered the email
house only about twenty steps
from his dwelling, afire. He ran
out to the house, called Millen a
time or two and receiving no
answer knocked open the door
when the interior of the room
about the door seemed all atire
and the flames burst out from the
upper part of the door. .lust
then he hoard a sound as if Miller
had jumped out of bed and the
next instant he heard him fall to
the floor and caught a glimpse of
hit* leira from th? tnoo. ? - -
- ? V?< ?MV nu?vn uu *T II ftp
he was falling. The poor darkey
never uttered even a cry. The
buretiog of the door doubtless
partly awakened him and caused
him to spring out of bod to his
feet. Mr. F., realizing nothing
could be done for the poor darkey
went to work with those who soon
gathered in to aave his residence
from burning wbicb it required
hard work to do.
Magistrate Carnes held an inquest
Sunday over tbe charred
