BILL CAMPBELL DEAD.
Well Known Negro Shot and Killed
by Mary Miller.
William Campbell, a well known
negro about town, was shot last
Wednesday night by Mary Miller,
and he' died from the effects of the
wound Sunday night or early Monday
morning. The shooting occurred at
the house of the woman near the Fitting
School. The shooting was done
with a 38 calibre S. & W. pistol
which belonged to Campbell.
Bill had been running a negro restaurant
here for a number of years
and was a fairly good negro, but he
had a liking for too many wives. For
vears the Miller woman had been in
timate with him, and she has three
children by him. A year or so ago
his legal wife died, and it seems that
recently Bill had been wanting to
marry again, which possibly the Miller
woman objected to. What really
caused the trouble is not known, as
the woman has made no statement,
but it is said that Bill was overbearing
in his manner toward her and
often threatened to kill her because
of jealousy.
The woman was not arrested after
the shooting, but when Campbell
died, she was put in jail Monday
morning, where she is at present. It
is likely that application for bail will
soon be made. The bullet took effect
in Campbell's throat, severing his
windpipe, and there was no hope of
his recoveryv from the time he was
shot.

Death of Ola B. A ver.
Mr. Ola B. Ayer, eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. L. M. Ayer, died at the home
of his parents; in this- city Tuesday
morning of this week, at abtttit two
o'clock, after an illness of about four
weeks with typhoid fever. The burial
took place Tuesday afternoon at four
o'clock at the family burying ground
at Pleasant Hill church, of which he
was a member. Rev. W. H. Hodges,
pastor of Trinity Methodist church,
conducted the services. The pall
bearers were all young men friends
of Mr. Ayer, and were: Messrs. Tillman
Felder, U. G. Hutto, Henry
Kearse, LeRoy Price, Charles Mitchell,
and Henry Stokes.
Mr. Ayer was twenty-one years old,
and was a young man of fine character.
Quiet and unassuming, with no
hnri hiahif-r 1"if> was a son to ha nroufl
of, and his parents and family have
the sincere sympathy of their many
fiiends in this hour of sorrow. He
leaves several brothers and sisters
and other relatives. For some time
he had been employed as salesman
in the store of Mr. J. A. Byrd.

well taken care of.

properly kept.
We have also examined the offices
of the Treasurer, Clerk of' Court,
Sheriff, Auditor, and Probate Judge,
and found all nicely and neatly kept.
We have examined the report of

pert book keeper. j
We have examined tire books of

that the office of Magistrate Herndon

not been submitted to the grand jury i
for examination.
We thank the court and officers 1

WH?RE KIT CARSON DIED.
V MHMMM *' 4
Historic 'Dob? Building Restored
Where Pioneer Breathed riis Last.
The only person now living who
was with Kit Carson at the time of
the great frontiersman's death told
the story. The telling was in the
room where Carson died. The building
is a one-story adobe structure,
once used as a residence in the days
of Old Fort Lyon, and now restored
in some measure again so as to be
used. Fort Lyon has been converted
Into a hospital for United States sailors
afflicted with tuberculosis. The
Kit Carson house is on the main
street of the hospital ground. In
the restoration the contractor made
a queer error. He placed modern
windows instead of the old-fashioned
oin orl n_r?o n nri n H r\xxra l r? th a qHaKd
TT 1UUV TT 0 1U VUV/ UUV W
walls. With this exception the house
is as it was when in it the scout and
Indian fighter breathed his last.
Lhke Cahill, gray and grizzled
frontiersman himself, was the teller
of the story. He accompanied the
trail party down the gravelled walk,
paused for a time at the entrance of
the adobe dwelling, and spoke almost
reverently of his friend and commander.
A tiger lily nodded dreamily
upon its stem at the doorway to
the dwelling. Upon entering a small
rear room, Cahill pointed out a cornet
in which he had seen Kit Carson,
hand in his hand, die.
" "Gen. Carson was a stocky-built
man," said Cahill, "about 5 feet 8
inches high. He was bow-legged,
pronouncedly so. He weighed about
175 pounds. He was not an educated
man. On the contrary, he was a
man quite illiterate. He couldn't
i^ad, or if he could it was only a
few sentences such as a child might
pick out in a primer. He could scarcely
do more than write his name. He
was^of a very quiet disposition, and
aome persons regarded him as taciturn,'
which, of course, was not true.
"He, cared nothing for money, but
was passionately devoted to his
friends. He would sacrifice anything
for a frieiid. Nothing was too
big for him to undertake to do if he
thought a friend needed it done. I
think this is one reason he became so
popular through the West. Above
everything else the Westerner adnfires
loyalty to one's friends. He
was a popular man, too, more so than
almost any man I knew. Of course
be was much younger than I was,
but for some reason he seemed specially
fond of me, and I was particularl_

this friendship that F was present at
the time of his death.
'"Gen. Carson was intensely fond
of playing poker. It was his one
great dissipation. After all, it is not
such a bad dissipation, is it, when
one recalls that Gen. Carson did not
uare for the moriiy won in the game,
but only the thrill and excitement
that went in the playing of it? He
never played for high stakes, but he

Death of Mr. P. N. Spann.
Mr. P. N. Spann, Sr., died at his
residence in this city late Tuesday afternoon,
after ah extended illness.
Kis condition had been serious for
some time ago, and it was feared
that he could not recover. The burial
took place yesterday afternoon at
South-end cemetery, the services being
conducted by Rev. W. H. Hodges,
pastor of Trinity Methodist church,
of which Mr. Spann was a member.
Mr. Spann was seventy-five years
old, and is survived by several sons
and daughters and other relatives.
His wife died here about eight years
ago. He was originally from Leesville,
Lexington county, but had made

The only Bakir
from Royal Crap
noalum.no
t .
j I known of his taking liquor to exI
cess. He would drink, however, soj
cially, as most men of his type and
age drank. The use of liquor is not
i as large as it once was, and the world
' is better off because of it.
"It was on May 22, 1868, that
Gen. Carson died in this room. It
was about 10:30 o'clock in the morn-,
ing. His wife had died a month be- j
fnro in ohildhirth. His head rested i
I -7
near this window, and he had been
looking out through the glass at the
growing light. He had been ill across
the Arkansas river, where he had
been living for some time; and not
getting any better the fort physician,
Dr. Tilton, and others of his friends
had prevailed upon him to permit
j himself to be brought to the fort for
medical treatment and hospital attendance.
"He had come rather reluctantly.
Everything was done for him by the
i fort officers that wa9 possible to be
j done for any patient, but every .effort
' was unavailing. I think only the
j hospital steward, Dr. Tilton, and myj
se^ were in the room when he died.
| Through this window he looked and
I smiled and pressed my hand and,
! saying never a word, died,
j "He was buried first with his wife
near Las Animas, but because it was
his expressed desire, John S. Hough,
afterward treasurer of Lake county,
Co1?., took up and removed from
Boggsville, where they had been
first buried, the bodies of Gen. Carson
and his wife, and had them reburied
at Taos, N. Mex. Over his
grave, surrounded by an iron fence,
at Taos, is a simple stone monument,
erected by the Masons of New Mexico.
Gen. Carson had become a Mason
some months before his death."
