I George Eubanks Shoots William Evans and Kills Him Instant- ' fy, both Mill Operatives. A The store of Messrs. J. B. Wal- l< ters <fc Bro. at the factory was the scene, Saturday night, of an un- * fortunate difficulty between Geo. ^ Eubanks and Will Evans, two ? employees of the mill, in which 0< Eubanks shot and instantly killed ^ Evans. From the evidence of eye ^ witnesses, Eubanks and Lewis = Evans, a younger brother of the ^ dead man, had some words, when Will Evans came in and remonstrated with the boys for fussing, j whereupon Eubanks said that as they had doubled teams against him, he would see them again. Will Evans then said, if you will fight, 1 will fight you a fair fight and pulled off his coat. Mr. Jno. Walters then ordered them out t of his store saying they could not " fight in there. The two started tovird the door, when Eubanks whipped out a pistol and shot Evans in the head, the ball taking ' effect just in front of the ear and ranging through the head in rear of the other ear, producing instant death. Coroner Young was notified and a jury of inquest was j empanelled and a verdict renderd li that the man came to his death ' from a pistol shot wound at the 1 ands of Giorge Eubanks. It ^ seems that these same boys had had a difficulty some months ago, and that Eubanks attempted to 4 cut Evans, with his knife, but t was prevented by the timely interference of some one present #i at the time. JQ This is a very unfortunate af fair and perhaps would never ? have occurred had the young men A let whiskey alone. The testimony is that both were drinking some that night. After Eubanks shot If Evans he left the store immediately and went to Mr. John Coins' I1 house where he was arrested in a n| short while by Deputy sheriff, J. N S. Wilson, who had been notified ^ of the killing by telephone, and 0j who proceeded promptly to find li him and arrest him and lodge him ^ him in jail where he will prob ^ .LI I- iMI it ' v . auiy remain mi me uctooer term of court. tl it The deceased was a son of Mr. ti John Evans and was about 22 years of age and umarried.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING The Dwelling of J. A. Est ridgt St/uck hu Lightning, and Otu Of Hit* Daughters Killed and Another Seriously Stunned. The household of Mr. J. A. Esfridge cf the Old Store section was enveloped in gloom and sadness by the sudden death of a 14 year old daughter by lightning last Friday night duriug a thunderstorm and by the severe shock that an older daughter, Miss Alice, received at the same time. It was between 11 and 12 o'clock when the fatal bolt of lightning struck Mr. Estridge's house, first striking the chimney at the south end of his dwelling and running down the chimney upon the timbers of the house and into the samo where it suddenly killed the younger daughter, Maggie, aged about 14 years, who was sleeping on her bed in the room, and so stunned her elder sister, who was sleeping in another bed in a different portion of the same rooi/> that for some hours she was unable to speak. Mr. Estridge l: 11 * uiiiiHoii was lempomy stunned by the lightning which went alRO into his room, setting fire to the bed upon which he was sleeping. To Mr. Estndge and his family the couplet, "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform," has a striking significance since the occurrences of that awful Friday night. We are glad to report that the young lady, Miss Alice, is improving and recovering from hei shock as rapidly as could be hoped. Mr. Estridge himself was in town yesterday. The remains of the young lady who was killed were interred -Sunday at Waxhaw Baptist church in the presence of a large gather ing of sympathyzing friends.
