Benson, May 15 John Den ning was shot and instantly killed Sunday night in a raid on a still whioh h?, H, M. Lucas and Gtorge Williams are saii to have been operating. Denning s death, de spite the faot that be was resist ing arrest, was accidental, the fa tal wound being inflicted when Deputy Marshall George F. Moore stumbled and fell and his pistol was accidentally discharged. Accompanying Deputy Marshal Moore on the raid were Possemen Claud Dixon and Willis Potter. The still was looated on Black river, two miles north of Dunn. When the officers closed in on the plaoe Williams jumped behind a large tree where a gun was stand ing, causing the officers to believe that he was going to shoot.. Den ning advanoed toward' Deputy Moore drawing a pistol frojabS hip pocket. At this moment Moore fell and as he did so his pistol accidently went off, the ball pieroing Denning through the left breast and killing him instantly. Lucas, who had run as the officers radvanoed, was oaptured by Posse President tapts Charlotte Program. President Wilson has accepted the Charlotte program for the twentieth of May up to 2 o'olock. He wants to be free after that time. That will give the Queen City a fine day with the President. Mr. Wilson dees not want to tire himself out; he has hard work ahead of him. There is no longer any doubt that tbe President will go to North Caro.ina unless some cew foreign crisis arises to change his present plans. Senator Overman and Sec retary Dmiels will go to Char lotte with the president. Repre sentative Page is tied up on the appropriation bill and oannot go. Senator Simmons is uncertain aa to whether or not he will go.
