alas, as to that, all was fati.e, be-U

ran high, but a remarkable presence 1
of mind reigned among
conatituted temperaments of tho "
who gathered. There was only one
eye witness to the seene and bow
tales is is not known,
true thaFlWM^^^ j^r gMteraJ th<
but being repeated to bJ tVV
aubstanco is the same. The TfriCidetails
arc these: Somewhere about
the street Mr. Funt came up with
Brown, the two being boys reared
together, and often went together as
boys of the races often do when they
were children together and always
friends; and the two went to a house.
The negro knocked at the door, it
was opened to him, and he said to
Mr. bant, "walk in Cap," and after
Mr. Fant stepped in, he asked Brown
if he was not coming in, and received
the answer, "no," and pulling the
door partly closed to act as a breastworks,
Brown began to shoot, firing
three shots at Fant, all taking effect,
one in the hand, one in the heart
and one in the brain, either of the
two latter being sufficient to produce
instant dcatb. The woman who
lives in the house jumped out the
window and gave the alarm. It
also seems that Brown llodgers acted
the wolf in sheeps clothing for they
both went there apparently good
t friends, ho invited the white man in
, and there killed him, and the house
. was not Brown's. Just what passec
B between them after Mr. Fant steppcc
in the death trap is not known, bu
that he never had a chance to defeni
8 himselfis evident, for although he ha<
* a pistol it was still in his left coa
? pocket,, and had not been fired. II
'T must have been unawares of what w?
afloat, for it seems it was a trap <
ih Brown's which some other thing
c* will likely yet show up.

A Demonstration of What Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy Can Do.
"One of our customers, a highly rospectcd
citizen of this place, had been
for ten years a sufferer from chronic
diarrhoea," writes Wnldcn A Martin,
druggist, of Enterprise, Ala. "He had
used various patent preparations and
been treated by nhyeicians without any
Iierraanent benefit. A few months ago
10 commenced taking Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and in a short time was entirely cured.
, Many citizens of Enterprise who know
the gentleman will testify to the truth*
fulness of this statement." For sale by
