Policeman H arris on Shoots and Kills John VVhisenhunt, of Ca tawba County Harri son Wounded. On Friday night, Dec. 21st, Night Policeman V. E. Harri son, after being shot in the hand, and while still being fired upon, shot and killed John Whisen hunt, who lives one mile from Hickory. Whisenhunt whs bot through the h?ad and fell on the sidewalk in front of Dr. C. E. Ross gate. He was moved, hrst, to the mayor's office, in an un conscions condition, and on rec ommendations of physicians Ross and Phifer, who stated there was one chance in a thous and to save him, he was carried to Grace Hospital, where he died, without recovering cou HciouMiess, ar 6:30 Saturday OFFERED iv!S5 TOUNG PEOPLE r2l5fc.-5J-l!younTpersons' nomatter 2 001 S8 half-rat.

Saturday afternoon hi remains were carried to hit home near Hickory for burial. After the shooting Policeman Harrison was taken to the office of Dr. C. E. Ross, who, aided "by Dr. Phifer, cut the bullet from his hand, Mr. Harrison sent for the Mayor and surrendered himself into custody. He vas placed undtr bond for his ap pearance next morning, as Whis. enhunt was yet alive. Upon in formation that one I). E. Buff had been with parties who had assaulted Harrison, the Mayor issued a warrant for bim and held him under bond till the fol lowing day. One Adolphu Lin gle, who was also with Whisen- hunt, and who is said tohae hot Harrison, escaped the night of the shootinjr, though the chief of police and deputy searched for him most of the night. Saturday morning at 10 o'clock Coroner J. L. Nelson caused a coroner's jury to be summoned to investigate the deplorable affair, the jury consisting of W. A. Wortman, Dr. I. P. Jeter, J. M. McGaliiard, Lelth Gordon, Hamilton Erwin and S. S. Latte, who went to Grace Hospital to view the re mains of the deceased, and then adjourned to the Mayor's office to hear the tesftimony of wit nesses. Solicitor Spainhour was pres ent and examined the witnesses for the Coroner. Avery &Ervin represented Mr. Harrison. The testimony, taken before the Coroner and a jury, was, io substance, as follows: Policeman Harrison was at the corner of Tull's drug store when three men came along from the direction; of Mr. Newton's Store. One of the three, who turned out to be Adolplius Lm gle, was in an intoxicated con dition and was held by D. E. Buff. TJie third man was John Whisenhuut. Just as they were passing where Harrison ntood Lingle yelled very loudly and Harrison spoke to him, saying that 'he would have to arrest bim if he did not behave. Lingle cursed Harris n and defied him. In the meantime Buff, who had hold of Lingle, pulled him across the street to Lowdermilk's store, where LingleJ yelled very loudly again. Harrison started to wards. them, when Lingl told him he would shoot him. The three men started up Wet Union street, Harrison following, when Lingle fired over hi fhotiMr twice at Harrison, the first shot knocking the handles ff of Har rison's pistol, which he held in his right hand, and entering his right hand between the thumb and the index finger. Harrison shot once with the wounded hand and broken pistol, which Vefused to fire again, and then tflrew a p Htol from hi Mt hip cket and fi one- with ' .h hand. Harrison was tired ou i rr a. I . srw4- thr ? me8 tLarnmon iucu, uvu V o m i '7jr (i returned to the Burke Drug Co. to have his wounded hand dressed, and vtas soon informed that there was a wounded man in front of Dr. C. E. Ross' gate, when he, with others, went to investigate. VVhisenhunt was lying on his face, his head up the street, the bullet having pene trate the back of the head and come out the forehead. Lingle had run, and Buff, who mingled with the crowd, was soon placed under arrest. At the Mayor's office the Coroner examined the body of Whisenhuut and found a pistol holster in his right hip pocket, and a 32 caliber pistol in his left pants pocket, the de ceased's hnad grasping th pis tol, besides two pint bottles with only a small quantity of vhiskey left in either of them. Buff testified that Whisenhunt was drinking heavily, but was not as rowdy as, Lingle. Buff further testified that when Lin gle shot twice at Harrison, Whisenhunt "was almost imme diately behind him; that he did not kuow what he' was doing, as he was trying to keep Lingle from shooting After examination of all the witnesses, the jury retired and soon rendered a verdict that Harrison shot in "self-defence and in discharge of his official duties", and Mr Harrison was released from custody. Since the coroner's verdict, it is stated on good authority, that the wife of .witness Buff, who lives near J. R. Patton's and is a sister of Lingle, has stated that her brother, Adolph us Lingle, came to her house about 12 o'clock, nearly two hours after the shooting, and told her he had killed a man, bade her good-bye and left for parts unknown, leaving a horse and baggy with her which he had driven there that day. Be fore thi statement many people expressed their opinion, and since the trial it ha become h general belief, that Lingle killed Whisenhuut rather than Harri son. Baff testified that Whisen hunt was behind Lingle and himself, and Lingle was drunk and shooting recklessly over his shoulder without looking to see what damage he was doing. But in any aspect, it is a sad, deplorable affair and we know no one regrets it more than Mr. Harrison, notwithstanding a jury acquits him honorably, and he is receiving the commendation of our best citizens lor his nerve and bravery. There is no doubt that the eads of justice would have been more evenly met if Harrison had killed Lingle, whose friends even eive him a bad character; but Harrison was but firing in self defence, at parties who had shot him once and were still firing on him, and in the night time, with out stieet lights, and Whisen- i hunt mer the doom, from either Lingle's or Harrison's pistol. ti,t Hlwinld have visited the t 1 ' , - . - CHiise of it all Lingle. It was brought out in the evi dence that there was an enter taidment at Jhe Court House the night of the shooting and ten minntes after it occurred there J were probably 50 to 75 women ehildivn on Main street, dow which Lingle so recklessly shot.

On Friday before Christ mas Miss ' Katie Tate, who has charge of the public school near Mr. Frasier Brit ain's, had her North Caro- ina day, and a most excellent program she had for the chil dren. The exercises opened with an appropriate praver by Mr. I. T. Avery, and then a chorus of some 25 or 30 children sang- the Old North State and sang it remarkably well. There were other appropri ate songs and recitations and three excellent essays on the ate Dr. Mclver, one of these by Miss Tate and the others by two of her female scholars Miss Shuping and Miss Hawkins. This writer regrets that he ost the program of the whole of the entertainment, for he elt that children who had done so well deserved a word of commendation. The whole performance, the discipline, the training ot the children, certainly reflected credit on he teacher, and she may be ustly proud of her work. A airly good crowd of the parents were present. loo much credit cannot be given Mr. Frazier Brittain, Mr. Wagoner and others who were largely instrumental in securing such a good school, such a good school house, and in a good community. Mr. Charlie Tate, the ather of the teacher and the pupils, Rosebud and Robert Tace, has just cause to be proud of his children. After the exercises, Mr. I. T. Avery made a very im pressive talk on the higher lfe for children. Mr. C. F. McKesson then made a short talk on education and the Rev. Mr. Goode delivered a beauti- ul prayer, after which a col- ection for the Mclver fund was taken up. It was really a very enjoyable day. A Visitor. COUNTY ASSESSOR WAY LAID. J. W. Coulter, of S. D..

Mrs. Goose, or Mother Goose, as she was familiarly called, was the mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet, a Bos ton printer early In the century. When bis first child was born his mother-in-law devoted all her attention to the baby and, it Is said, greatly annoyed Fleet by her persistent and not par ticularly musical chanting of the old English ditties she had beard in her childhood. The idea occurred to Fleet of writing down these songs and pub lishing them in book form. The old est extant copy bears the date of 1719. The price marked on the title page was "two coppers." This account of the origin of Mother Goose is discred ited iy some critics, who declare that in 1697 Perrault published "Contes de ma Mere I'Oye," or "Stories of Mother Goose." The name Mother Goose was familiar in French folklore, being used by writers of this literature over a cen tury before the time of Perrault. The Stat., ef a Meteorite. A meteorite fell on a Vermont farm in 1896. It was a valuable meteorite. and the landlord at once stepped up and claimed . It. "All minerals and metals on the land belong to me," he said. "That's in the lease." But the tenant demurred. "This me teorite," he said, "wasn't on the farm, you mnst remember, when the leas was drawn up." The landlord perceived the Justice of that claim. He thought a moment Then he said decisively, "I claim her as flying game." But the tonr.nt was ready for him. "She's got neither wings nor feathers," he said. "Therefore, as ground game, she's mine." They continued their argument, and In the heat of It a revenue officer, ar riving with a truck, proceeded to put the meteorite aboard. "I claim her for the government," be said, "as an article introduced Into the country without paymept of duty." FROM THE ANTILLES. William as a Matchmaker.
