It is strange to see how many pe6ple there are who can not tell you at the i A\. I JL, moment you ask the exact date ! of Easter. This of course, is j for the reason that the date j changes year by year. It has been thirteen years since Easter , i came as early as March 31. That i j was the date of the celebration in 1894, and since then the dates : have been between April 1 and 15. Last year Easter Sunday was on April 15.

A Tragedy at Griffith. i The Charlotte Observer of Monday morning told in part as : follows of a killing, the victim ! of which and his slayer are doubt; less known to a number of our i readers: 1 A young white man by the name of Stephenson, supposed j to be M. J. Stephenson, fcrmerlv of Fort Mill, S. C.. was killed , near Griffiths, four miles south ' of Charlotte, last niirht a few minutes before 8 o'clock. J. T. E. j Kimball, an employe of the Queen ; City Brick Works, is said to bo his slayer, he having1 admitted 1 as much to Mr. Oscar Hunter, his employer, and to sheriff N. j ! W. Wallace, who arrested him. While nothing definite is known as to the trouble which arose; between the two men, Kimball's j ! wife is said to have figured in it. When placed under arrest last night shortly after the homicide, ; Kimball refused to talk, saying that he would keep his mouth shut until he had consulted with his attorneys. About ten o'clock he was brought into the city and j lodged in the county jail. The killing occurred in the "big road" near Griffiths a few mini tites before 8 o'clock. Stephenson had hired a horse and buggy from Wadsworth's early in the morning and had driven down i to his old home near Fort Mill, I IS. C., to visit relatives. He j called an the stable very early. oetvveen o una b.ouo ciock. i\ir. Sam Ross, who was in charge, 1 i refused to accommodate him j until Mr. A. N. Deaton came up. i To an Observer reporter last night Mr. Ross stated that ; Stephfedson was "talking loud" j (and seemed to be slightly under ; the influence of liquor. Mr. DeaI ton arrived shortly after, and l knowing him, let him have the i horse and buggy. Steonenson | was next seen by Mr. Will Brissic ! shortly after 5.30 near Pineville. j : He was then on his way home, j i The killing took place about 1 two hours later at a point 300, j yards on this side of Kimball's ! 1 house. As he passed, it is not j | known that he stopped. It is hardly probable that he did, for | there were no tracks to indicate it. A later report says: That Stephenson, or Stinson. ! as he was called, attempted to i assault Mrs. J. T. Kimball, l whose husband slew him, was 1 brought out at the inquest into (the tragedy Monday afternoon. I According to Mrs. Kimball's ! story, Stinson got out of his buggy, came into her house while her husband was a few hundred yards away at a ncigh: bor's and attempted to assault her. She fought and screamed and in a moment her husband j was hastening to her aid. Stinson saw him, fled from the i house, entered his buggy and started toward Charlotte. Kim| ball, hearing his wife's story,: seized his gun, followed Stinson, I attacked and killed him. The Kimballs are from Rock Hill, and bear an excellent reputa- j tion. Kimball has employed coun- | sel and the "unwritten law" will be pleaded in his defense. Stephenson, the dead man, so far as The Times has been able i to learn, was a son of James | Stephenson, known here as .Jim Stinson, and who some years ago paid occasional visits to Fort Mill ; for the purpose of selling beef I from hi3 wagon.

This company i hardly ever makes a town as . small as Fort Mill and it was only | through accident that the local ' management found out that the company didn't have a date for ; Tuesday night so arranged to ; secure them that night.
