measure four inches in diameter.

A SUNDAY MURDER.
Down
Rowan man Ambostied and Shot
Without Warnings - -7
Last Sunday morning "abbu 9
clock. Ed Ashby shofe- and in
stantly killed Dan Overcash, in
he southern part of Rowan coun
ty close to the line of Cabarrus.
. There are a number of stories as
d the events which culminated in
he murder, and the exact facts
artfhard to learn. -From the most
reliable iuf orm atiou which has
reached here, it appears that on
the morning of the tragedy Ashby
went to the house of a neighbor,
named Reese Pethel and informed
him that there were improper -re-
ations existing between his, Peth-
el's,wife, and Dan',Overcash. Ash
by told Pethel if he would ac-
company mm 10 tne wooas ne
would prove his assertion. - Peth
el accompanied AsVby as request
ed; but the latter waTunable to
substantiate his statement. Peth
el then suggested that they see
Overcash and talk the matter over
with him, Mr. nd Mrs. Pethel
went' to the home of Overcash,
Ashby having purposed stopping
at4 Pethi s home where it had
been agreed the conference should
be nold. Asnoy, nowever, went
beyond the Pethel place, to a
point between there and the home
of Overcash and concealed him
self in the bushes near the road.
The Pethels had Notified Over
cash in the meantime and he start
ed to the Pethel home. He came
to where Ashby was and was quite
close to him when the latter fired
on him with a shot gun, killing
him instantly. When the fatal
shot was fired the men were so
near each other that Overcash fell
over on Ashby, covering him with
his blood. The murderer went
home, changed his clothes and
made his escape.
The above is, in substance, what
has been currently reported con-
cerningthe affair, but there are a
number of mysterious circumstan
ces connected with it which can
not well be explained by one- who
not in possession of all the
acts, and it is quite evident there
much behind this which the
public has not yet learned.
Sheriff Knder was notified and
he repaired to the scene as soon as
possible, going by Rockwell to se-
cure the aid of "Mr. Lyerly audi
his bloodhounds. Despite all tbe
efforts made no clue to the mur- .
derer could he discovered and he
is still at large.
It is stated that Ashby was a
hard character and was feared by
the people of the community in
which he lived. Several vears
ago Ashby killed hp father, using ;
the same gun with which he kill- i
ed Overcash.
