Hosa McBride, One of the Worst
, of the Injured Died at the Good
Samaritan Hospital at 8 O'clock
This Morning. Three Others
Are Expected to Die. .
Nine ot the Injured Brought Here
Will Be Discharged This After
noon. Only One or Two Limbs
Have Been Amputated. Thirty
in Hospital.
The twenty-third victim of the hor
iilile wreck on the Seaboard Air
I iae near Hamlet Sunday evening,
, ied at the Good Samaritan Hospital
mis morning at .8 o'clock.
The unfortunate one was Rosa
McBride, a well known woman of
Hamlet. She was one of the occu-l-r.nts
of the Jim Crow car which was
f mashed to pieces and in which 21
igroes were killed.
All day yesterday the life of this
cor unfortunate was hanging by a
1 l ittle thread, and it was expected at
i i v moment that death would relieve
Ler of her sufferings. She sustained
several fractures of the arms and
U gs, her right eye was entirely dis
placed and her head and body were
u rn and gashed in number of places.
!; fact it seems hardly possible that
she could have .survived the awful
catastrophe for any length of time.
The body has been prepared . for
burial and will be slipped on the af
ternoon train to relatives in Hamlet.
Of the remaining 41 injured, now
m the Good Samaritan Hospital, Dr.
il M. Wilder, informs The News this
rlternoon that nine wilf be dis
charged today and will be allowed to
rt turn to their respective homes.
Of the 31 that, will remain in the
C-nn.l Samaritan Hosnital three sus-o
t. lined injuries that will probably re
sult fatally. Two of these are very
severely wounded and little or no
1 1 pe is entertained for their recov
ery. Everything possible is

i nfortunates, and the hospital author
Hies as well as the physicians de
serve commendation for the great
v ork in their interests.
The physicians who administered
to the relief of the negroes here
were: Drs. F. M. Winchester,
B. J. Witherspoon, Thos. H. Wright,
C. S. McLaughlin, C. M. Strong and
H. M. Wilder, the latter the very
efficient surgeon of the Seaboard Air
Line here.
Every one of these well known
I. hysicians did valiant service yester
day and last night and their splen
t id work is deserving of special
mention. The Seaboard could not
have possibly gotten together a more
indent corps of physicians to attend
to their wounded.

Captured.
Special to The News. - t
Statesville, July 24. A highway rob
bery by John Feimster, colored, caus
ed some excitement in the Loray
neighborhood Sunday afternoon.
Mr. . Cicero" Fulp was on his way
home from Concord dhurch, and was
walking peacefully along the railroad
track when John Feimster met him,
and covering him with a pistol, de
manded that he give up all the money
he had. Mr. Fulp thereupon gave him
all he had, fifteen cents, but the negro
took Mr. Fulp's watch out of his pock
et and the coat he had on and passed
on. Mr. Fulp gave the alram t6 the
neighbors and with shot guns the sur
rounded Feimster in .a swamp nearby
and captured him.
Feimster had caused considerable
uneasiness before he held up Mr. Fulp.
He went to Mr. Fulp's home and fright
ened Mars. Fulp by-shooting at chick
ens and dogs. He was drunk and did
no damage to the chickens, but his
drunken condition made him the more
dangerous.
After leaving Mr. Fulp's house he
met some children in the road and
drew his gun on them. They ran. He
had shot out all his amunition and the
pistol was empty when he covered
Mr. Fulp, but Mr. Fulp didn't happen
to know it.
The Feimster negro is a' bad man
and dangerous. Some time .ago he
went into a fight at Logan colored
church near Loray, arid came out with
his head badly beaten. He was brought
here for treatment and finally rece-v-'
ered, though the physicians thought
then there was no hope for him.' He
afterwards got into trouble here and
it is said "went to Texas. He had not
been seen in thte vicinity for some
time until Sunday. '
When arrested he had on his person
l razor, a pistol, a banjo, two knives a
bottle of whiskey, two small flower
vases and a pin tray, which it Ms
thought he had stolen from some one's
house. Mr. Fulp recovered his fifteen
cents and knife.
John is in jail here and when court
meets next Week he wiir probably find
a number of charges against him, all
of which wiir keep Tiim on the roads
or in the penitentiary for some time.

Two Negro Men Throw Rocks While
Their Sisters Have a Little Battle
Too.
A rather complicated relationship
fight was up for hearing before 'Squire
Severs today in which two negro
men, living near" Arlington, in Paw
Creek- township, threw rocks at each
other while their sisters in a more
feminine manner, tried to have a lit
tle scrap of their own.
The cases were entitled, the State
vs. Fannie Ramseur . for assaulting
Lula Powell, and, the State vs. Sam
Ramseur, for assaulting James Pow
ell with rocks.
The court after a thorough investi
gation of the matter decided that in
the incipient - scrap between the wo
men, nobody was guilty of an assault,
and , no damage was done. The de
fendant was dismissed.
In the case against Sam Ramseur,
hower, it appeared that he had used
dangerous weapons in the shape of
rocks to pursue his enemy, and he
was charged up with the costs in the
case, amounting to several dollars.
The Ramseurs wereT the aggressors
and the Powells the object of their
aggression in each case, It being one
of those complicated family affairs
that courts experience most trouble in
unravelling clearly.
The participants after settling with
the court were admonished to go their
ways and sin no more.
