New
Marshal Millikan Changes
- ' the Order tt Things.
Gbeenbiiobo, N. C, March 30.
(Special to Asheville Gazelle-News.)
When United States Marshal Jas.
M. Millikan takes the oath of office
next Monday,' April 2, he will begin
his third term by having succeeded",
from: experience of the practical
workings of the present System of
appointing deputy marshals, in se
curing Jiom the department at
Washington a distinct reform in that
department of the revenue service in
his district.
On . that day in place, of about
forty deputy marshals scattered ajl
over tbe. district getting nothing ex
cept the occasional fees for service
of process, there M ill be sworn in, a
regular deputies of his own selection,
fourteen' deputies at salaries ranging
from 800 to $1,000 V year, accord
ing to the territory eovertd by'them.
Each one Of these deputies will be
required to report to the marshal ifi
writing- every, day and will be di
rectly responsible lo tlie marshal for
the proper- discharge of duty. It is
thought this change will greatly im
prove the service and save 'the gov
ernment at' least twenty thousand
dollars a year in costs of prosecuting
frivolous or malicious ca.-es, besides
saving many people much irritation,
expense and annoyance. - .
' Another reformatory effect will be
to place, the deputy marshals beyond
the control of the deputy collectors
and entirely in the control of the ju
diciary .branch of the service.: Un
der the present system, where dep
nty marshals only get fees, their re
muneration depend entirely on' the
good will of the deputy colIecTora
The ; recent revenue trials -showtd
conclusively what 'a source of cor
ruption this was. A similar anomaly
yet obtains in the Internal revenue
service, where a, storekeeper and
gauger is absolutely dependant upon
the distiller ha ia supposed to watch,
for his employment.' , ' t
Under the new system of dephty
marshals these men have no incen
tive to batch tip frivolous cases be
fore United States Commissioners to
get fees. Neither will they be sub
ject to corruption from deputy col
lectors disposed to be dishonest by
failing to report violations or giving
false or - oareless certificates and
jurats for pay or accommodation
Thejr being recjnlred to make daily
reports direct to the maishal will
also practically eliminate the United
States Commissioners, so far as the
revenue cases are concerned, as vid
ations of' the lawj being daily re
ported to the marshal as the central
bead, the practical jeffeot will be that
almost ajl the cases where prosecu
tions are decided upon will go direct
before the grand jury. . The change
is a very important one and is a dis
tinct practical reform. It has only
been inaugurated in this district and
was granted after careful considera
tion of Marshal Millikan's recom
mendation. He has o far appoint
ed tbe following "office deputies" lo
the field work 'in accordance with
die new regulations; their place of
former . residence and the place of
their new asslgument being given:
It. S. Hamsey, of Marshall, with
headquarters at Asheville; territory,
Buncombe, Haywood,' Madison, Mo
Dowell and Burke coonties. .
N. S, Crisp, of Robbinsville, with
headqnarters at Murphy; territory,

Killing at Waynesville.
W AVNKfiviLLB, N. C, March 27.
Hetweun 8 and 9 o'clock this morn
ing Samuel Ray was shot and in
stantly killed just below the depot
here by one of ft party of three men,
1'olicenian Henry Abel, Dr. Abel,
his brother, and Policeman Daven
port.' Last night Wiley Ray, the
brother of Sam, was arrested by
Henry Abel, i' Wiley it seems was
trying to borrow a small sum of
money from a' merchant named Ben
nett. Bennett refused to lend and
Hay was about to attack him with a
knife. Sam Ray' was present and
interfcrred and. the policeman found
it necessary to handle Sam roughly.
Wiley Hay was put in prison. Ear
ly this mornihg Sam" Ray, entirely
tober, arose and sallied forth with
hia Winchester rifle. , He bought
cartridges And is reported : to have
said he would kill Abel or be killed.
He went down' to Abel's. house and
fired several shots. . He theti went
toward the depot and ' Henry Abel,
Policeman Davenport and Dr. Abel
followed him. When near the de
pot he opened fine on them and they
responded. . He shot twice, one bul
let from his rifle knocking off a piece
of Dr. Abel's gun, Ray was killed
at a distance of sixty yards. He fell
just by the railroad track and it was
necessary to move his body out of
the way 'of the irain. Ray was a
dangerous man and the best rifle
shot in all this section.
As a result of the coroners in
quest and a prelimiary hearing be
fore Judue Garland S. Ferguson,
Dr. Abel anJ his brother were bound
over to court in the sum of tliOO
each ' Both eave bond. ' Both these
men tired at Hay, and he ' was allied
by one or tlie otheK Davenport did
not fire, though a bullet passed
thnmgh his clothing. It is believed
the killing was justifiable.

- Wednesday was circus day in
Murphy, and the town was full to'
overflowing with people, despite the
threatening weather ami, the mud j
caused by the rain of the. night pre
vious, iitiwever, tne Tjm., neia'-up
until just about the iimSthe org cir-
ens was over, and evvn then It did
not 'rain hard " rior for ttny great
length of time. : :; : J.;
By the time the doors were dpen,
p. m., a great urging mass of peo
ple were in front" of the main en
trance, while hundreds took in tbe
side "show and were .themselves
taken in. Here you found an ele
phat, a lion, some monkeys, snakes
and the inimitable "Punch and Judy"
performanceV which never fails to
please the Children and makes the
old young again. For all this you
parted with 15 cents. ;p
Cut the crush in the big show was
fearfulj for people josiledmnd walk
ed over each other indiscriminately
and still kept in a good humor, no
doubt realizing that everything goes
at a circus, The general admission
was 50 cents to the big show; n serv
ed seats, 25 cent; concert, 10 cents,
and the Bide show, 15 centsand a
silver dollar was soon gone.
Many estimated the crowd inside
the tent at from eight hundred to a
thousand people, and the .latter esti
mation was not far wrong. How
many were outside the teiit this de
ponent gaith not. It was certainly
the largest crowd that w have oyer
seen here at a circua. Tbe perform
ance was about as usual-i-some acts
were good and others were not, but
it was an avettge show, yi'hoso con
nected with it were nice and gentle
manly.'? Nothing coe;rd "to ror''-Hwwi
the treasure of the occasion, and all
seemed to enjoy the aboiw. Quite A
crowd witnessed the night perform
ance. The show went from here to
Andrews. Of the amount of money
realized by the show folks, the guess
of a thousand dollars will not miss
it very far. '- f.
