of (he mill. Thinking the
k! boiler had bursted a crowd soon
Bfi gathered at the mill. Finding
nothing wrong (here they went to
m Mr. Taylor's store, which they discovered
to have been broken into.
The building was filled with smoke
H and the sale door hung open.
To get into the sale the robbers
WM Knocked the handle of! the door
Iand filled the socket with gunpowder,
setting it off by a fuse.
About a half hour had elapsed
before Mr. Taylor got to the store
and the robbers had time to escape.
The moaey stolen consisted
of $400 in silver, $180 gold and
9120 greenbacks of $5, $10 and
$20 denominations.
Searching parties are out to-day,
but there is no definite clue to
work upon. It is said that four
p tramps can?ped near town last
night and were seen to pass Manning
early this morning. There

M. D. NESMITH SHOOTS AND FATALLY
WOUNDS ELI SAULS.
Both Men are Prominently Connected
and the Affair Causes General Re*
arret?Verdict of Coroner's Jury.
About sunset Friday afternoon a
shooting affray occurred at Cades,
resulting in the fatal wounding
of Mr. Eli Sauls by Mr. M. D. Nesmiih.
The trouble took place at
the railroad between the tepot
and the crossing. From what can
be gathered the dispute between
tbe two men arose about a load of
cressties offered for sale by a negro.
While Nesmith was trading
with the negro Sauls approached
and offered a higher price for the
ties. Nesmith resented the interference
and an altercation ensued
between them, during which Nesmith
drew a pistol and fired at
Sauls four times it quick succession.
"Although the men were
standing but a few teet apart only
oue bullet took effect. The ball
entered under the lower rib on
the leit side about the cardiac end
f the stomach. The pistol was a
32 calibre Smith <fc Wesson.
Drs. D. C. Scott and \?. J. Haselden
were immediately called iu
to attend the wounded man, but
in spite of all that could be done
he grew weaker and at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning succumbed to
the wound.
Sheriff George J. Graham and
his deputies arrived at the scene
ot the shooting as Roon as possible
after being notified on the
night of the occurrence, but Nesmith
had disappeared.
Both the men are prominently
connected and the affair is universally
deplored. Mr. Necmith is
30 years old and is a member of
the firm of Nesmlth Brothers, of
iCades. He is unmarried. Mr.,
Sauls' age was 34 and he leaves a
wife and seven children.
THE INQUEST.
At 4 o'clock p. m. Corener H. M.
Burrows empanelled a jury and
.held an inquest over the body of
Mr. Eli Sauls. The attending physicians
and several witnesses gave
testimony. The physicians testified
as to the nature of the wound and
the immediate cause of death,which
they said resulted from the shock
of the ball's perforation of the stomach.
Mr hauls made an ante-mortem
statement which is in the hands
of the State, but was not placed in
evidence at the inquest The jury
rendered the following verdict:
That the deceased came to his death
by a gunshot wound at the hands
of M. D. Nesmith.
Mr. Nesmith is still in retirement,
but we are reliably informed that
in due time he will come forwaad
and stand his trial. LeRoy Lee,
Esq., has been retained to assist in
the prosecution, and Capt. John A.
Kelley will represent the defense.
