MAN SHOT DEAD. 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 ^

The Masonic celebration here

There was an immense cr^wd

ountiful 6upply of dinner and

Grand Master W. B. Do

luch enjoyed.
Jackson lodge of this place and
le visiting lodges formed a line
i Main street and marched by
sob to the grove at the graded
ihool building where a stand for
le speaking and tables for the
iands hau been arranged, in
tiarge of the marshal of the day,
>r. W. M. Crawford. Music for
le occasion was furnished by
le Gold Hill cornet band. Estilatea
of the crowd ran all the
ay from 800 to 3,000 Every

fair friendship flourish;

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.
