CHAKOED WITH MURDER IN
VIRGINIA.
T T v i
Itobert jJouGTiiis, a voting un
married man, a son of Dr. B, F
Douglas, of Concord towns-in. this
county, was arrested in Salisbury
Wednesday by Dcr ctives W. G. and
R. M. Baldwin, of Bluefield, W
Va., and Deputy Sheriff Nicholson,
of Iredell. Dun gins is charged with
killing a man m Tazewell county;
V ., on the first day of February.
He was brought toStatesville Wed
nesday afternoon and lodged in jail
p tiding an investigation of the
charge against him.
A letter written by the postmaster
at Tazewell under date of February
10th, anil addressed to the post
master at Statesville, gives the fol
lowing particulars of the murder :
"Oir February 1st in this county,
on a mountain read, a foul murder
was committed, both p .rties being
strangers. The men were seen at
the foot of the mountain and the
murderer can be easily identified if
caught. A horse was stolen the
same night and was captured near
Marion, Smythe county, Va., and
the man on him inquired the way t
Stat sville, N. C, before leaving the
horse in the road Another horse
was strlen next night near Glad
Spring, Va., it is -supposed by tin
tsme man. The man who did th.
killing was of small statute, some
thing near 5-J feet high, dark com
plexion, and wore at the time i
dark, short moustache. The bal
ance of his face looked like be had
not shaved for two or three weeks
tie is sHid to have come from your
place (Statesville) and went under
the name of Carter in some'places,
then under the name of Dougherty
In the mining regions he changed
his name to Dowdy. It was a most
horrible murder. The name of the
man killed has never been burned.
The board of supervisors of thi
county hive offered a reward of
$100 and the Governor has been
asked o add more. The people in
. -ii i s .1 ill
the ne ghrorliood w tie re me Killing
was done sav they will raie $1C0
nine. At one place he (the sup
posed murderer) inquired the waj- to
Mt. Airy, N. C. It you will keep a
lookout aud have this man arrested
you will b well paid," etc.
Our understanding is that the
man who was murdered was a ped
Ur aud that, his companion had at-
it t m -a - i
lac.ied mmseit to mm ana was
traveling about the country with
him. The object of the murder is
supposed lo have been robbery.
Detectives were put on the cas
with the result that they arrived
ere Tuesday, as stated, and made
an investigation, going to the home
of Douglas' father in Concord town
ship. Douglas was in town Mou-
v and talked with Policeman
Steele. He bade him goodbye, tell
ing him that he might never see
him again, and left in the direction
of Salisbury. Douglas answered the
description of the man wanted by
the detectives and they left here for
Siliabury Tuesday night, accom-
pinied by Deputy Sheriff Nicholson.
Djuglas was arrerted at a camp of
ta imps in the suburbs of Salisbury
He stood on his rights and refused
to re'uri to Virgi iia withsut a
requisition. After being photo
g aphed in Salisbury he was brought
ty Stnfe ville and lodged in fiil
The detectives returned to VirgmiH
with tl e photographs and if the
people of the cammunity where the
m irder occurred recognize the pho
tograph as that of the murdered
m in s companion a requisition will
be secured and Douglas will be taken
to Virginia for trial.
Douglas of course denies the
charge against him, aud we are in
form "d give the following account

February: He says he was in Ashe
ville on the 38th day of January.
came from there to Hickory and
from lickory to Statesville, Then
he went to Mooresville aud spent ;

ry -Mbej day of the murder he was
at Bkm store in this couutv. Since
hat time he s iys he ban !een at
his father's and other place m the
eoui;tyf never leaving the county
anhiitfi went to Salisbury.
There no .certainty, then, tha
DU'.'gias u tlie murderer, aol
hope for his own grtke and that, t ,
his father and oiln-r relatives in th
county, who are good citizens, tha:
be is innocent. Unfortunately
Douglas' conduct for years has been
very bad; he has been wande ing
from place to place, generally in ban
company, but we hope he is no

In 1887 be first shipments of gold, amounting
to less t an fGOO.OOu, were made from South
Africa. 1 1 1894 the production was nearly $40,
000,000. It is estimated that works under a y and
contemplated will produce $100,000,000 per year.
Less than five years ago Cripple Creek was un
known as"a mining camp. In 1602 it produced
200,000. It is now j i oducing Si ,000.000 per month.
Two old men, tir d out and almost hopeless, not
many yean since lung desperately to a small
hole in the ground vrbich showed -om traces of
gold. That bole has 6'r.ce yieiuea over '.000,000.
The Idaho Mine has paid near' 9f, C 000 iu
dividends, the Crown Poist nearly i2,00" (). the
Belcher over $15,000,000. f
We know of no other prciritueui iziiuHv ..-;
such large dividends on capital tevesaud as fully
