There is considerable excitement in Liberty over the death of a young woman there last Wednesday. She was taken sick about the first of the week and a young physician was called in. He prescribed for her. but instead of improving it is said ehe grew worse. Becoming alarm ed, her father sent for Dr. Foster, a well-known physician formerly of Alamance county, who on making a diagnosis of the case, said she was in a delicate condition and that from the nature of things an opera tion must be performed as the only means of saving her life and that even this, at this late day, was haz ardous. The operation was . per formed, but the young woman died and was buried Thursday. 1 he other part of the story is that when the old physician was called in the young doctor vanished and has not been seen, though it is said search has been made for him. The father of this young physician, hear ing of these reports that his son had ron away, came forward and said he had not gone ami was not going to ?n and that he could be had at any ti ne he was wanted by the pr p r oilicials. The inference is that he is being connected with the young woman's condition, but there is nothing bu r rumor yet and for this reason no names are given. If theie is any thing in the story it will all come out, but us no legal action has yet been taken the above is sufficient. The young lady in the case w; 8 Miss Gertnule Euliss. one of the most popular young ladies iu Liber ty and a daughter of Mr. . Al.-x Euliss. Dr. De Lucy Foust, a young physician against whom there has not been heretofore any cliarg? against his professional nr private life, is the physician who turned the case over to Dr. Foster uud then left town. The Euliss family claim that Foust who had beeu visiting Miss Euliss and had been with her on several occasions, driving and at! church etc., was the author of her ruin, while some others claim he was not responsible for her condi tion. The tragic death is c'eplored by the good people of Liberty. The Euliss family say that Dr. Foster gave them the first information they had of the unfortunate condition of the young lady. Damaging rumors are afloat as to the perpetration of the crime. While it is an unpleasant matter yet there is no doubt that there should be a judicial investigation. UNCLAIMED LETTERS.
