In a Critical Condition and Chances are
Much Against his Becowy.
Gov Glenn has offered a reward
of $100 for the capture of Charles
Brady, the man who made a mur
derous assault on John Owens
some days ago, but the man suc
ceeded in erading the officers.
The condition of Owens is ex
tremely critical, and the latest
news from him was to the effect
that his death might be expected
at any time. Indeed, considering
the nature of his wounds, it is a
wonder that he has survived as
long as he has.
There is another version of tne
trouble between Owens and Brady,
which makes the case look darker
than ever for Brady. According
to this story, when the old man
Brady renewed the former quarrel
with Owens on the day of the trage
dy, Charles was not present, but
when the elder Brady and Owens
were about to engage in a struggle,
Charles suddenly appeared on the
scene with an .open knife, and
made for Owens. v The latter took
a single tree from his plow and was
about to strike young Brady, when
the old man Brady grabbed the
weapon. He pulled Owens to the
ground, and holding him there
with the single tree across his neck,
called on his son to cut Owens.
The latter needed no urging, for
he at once began slashing and stab-
ing the prostrate man. Owens
managed to get up and run, but he
was overtaken and more cutting
took place. Owens was finally al
lowed to ride home on his horse:
Mrs. Owens, it seems, was present
and saw the whole affair. The
elder Brady is still in jail here.

Murderer of Conductor Wiggins May be
Taken Dead or AHe.
Goverior Glenn has issued a
proclamation declaring Ed. Davis,
the murderer of Conductor Wig
gins, an outlaw, and offering a
reward of $100 for his capture,
dead ot alive. The total reward
offered now amounts to $550,
Davis has succeeded in covering
his tracts so that no trace i his
whereabouts can be learned by the
officers.
There was a lumor current on
the street last Saturday to the ef
fect that Davis had been arrested
in Greensboro after a desperate
battle with the officers, but later
developement did not prove the
rumor to be well founded. The
Greensboro officers did arrest a
man they thought might possible
be Davis, and that is all there was
in it.
Reports from Greensborc and
other places where Davis is said to
have lived before coming here, give
him an exceedingly bad reputation .
Another Suspect Under Arrest.
Sheriff Julian has sent an of
ficer to Reidsville, to see if the
negro under arrest there could be

ductor Wiggins. There is an im
pression that the right man has

ful. The question of identity
will be definitely settled today.
