Injured: Wm. Jarvis, Pleasantville. 7 Norcross is in the Atlantic county jail here, awaiting the action of the coroner. 'He is badly broken up over his fatal mistake. According to Norcross's statement, made to a justice of the peace, at Mintola, he was standing behind some underbrush at the side of a road when he heard a noise. Not thinking that any other hunters were in the vicinity, and believing that the sound came from a deer walking down the road, Norcross says he raised his gun and fired one barrel of buckshot in the direction of the noise. Before he could lower his gun there was a shriek and, jumping out of the underbrush, he was horrified to see three men lying in the road. Relaizing in an instant the terrible mistake he had made Norcross went for the other members of his party and the three injured men were placed in the automobile and rushed to Pleasantville. One of the victims died in six minutes and the other lived 25 minutes. , Norcross comes from a respectable family. He Is said to be a man of good habits, is married and has two children. The victims were strangers to him. Sensational Report. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 1.?The most sensational grand jury report in many years was submitted to the Jefferson county criminal court here to-day and while 35 indictments were returned the names of none of the men indicted had been made public to-night pending the service papers. The report hinges on irecent allegations that certain officeholders have influenced corporations to hold back their tax assessments until the officials can proceed against them and get commission for such extra taxes. It is also charged in the report that out of 24,502 registered voters in the county 9,493 are disqualified ; and it finds that many illegal votes i were cast in recent elections. The j report calls the conditions "a disgrace to civilization," says there i have been six assassinations at Lewisburg in two years and not a single man convicted and all witnesses intimidated against the peace system of the county as an "outrage." The grand jury was composed of some of the most prominent men in the county. )n Hand > A Cents I iome Extra Come and NK MAN." NEGRO RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.

Hollenshead in Wilkes county Saturday afternoon, who has already escaped a mob of 150 men, is now in the custody of Sheriff Bobo, of Wilkes, but there is every indication that a determined effort will be made to-night to take him from the hands of the law and finish the unsuccessful job of Saturday night.

Tichnor, of Oconomowoc, Wis., and F. L. Ames, of North Easton, Mass., for the purchase of a calf, is probably the highest on record.
