Sometblnc Dior About the Lowrey's.
A prominent gentleman of Robeson gives
the Rockingham Spirit of the Scmlh some
interesting'facts in regard to the' Once no-'
torious Henry Berry Lowrey. : He said that
Henry Berry Lowrey was certainly dead,
having accidentally shot himself, as report-"
ea, wane - eagagea-cjeamng iijs gun,- ine
charge taking effect under' his chin, mud
ranging up through the roof of his jrvouth.
He did not die instantly but sent for a cer
tain physician of Robeson who attended
him and from whom the informant said lie
obtained these facts respecting the dea.th'of
the most blood thirsty outlaw of modern
times. The gentleman could not tell bow
long the wounded man . survived after re
ceiving his death wound.
. , u. ::i "it
Our Rockingham contemporarr' further
informs us that Steve Lowrey, the only sur-
viving, a few evenings sirice, captured WH-
son, the slayer of Andrew: Strong, and car
ried him into the swamps jand kept him un
til the nexrdsy without harming" him.
Wilson was in or near Scuffletewn; Wand
n (he road talking with some friends,
when suddenly Steve sprang' upon htm, and
taking him by th. collar led; him off In tri
nmphv .The friends ol Wilson venr Jiata-
rally concfu'deii that that would be' the last'
seen of him, and the only wonder is that
he got back alive. Whet could ' hare been
Steve's motive for releasing his pursuer,
after baring him so completely ithixt .'his
power, it is Impossible to conjecture. '

Ilechler had been ill for about two weeks
witli typhoid fever In fact,' we learn, with
a complication of disease but was appar
antiy, convalescent, ni on.Taesday night,
heri Visited by a friend,1 he was able to sit
up and appeared quite cheerful. Under
these circumstances itwas deemed unnec
essary for any one to watch at his bedside.
Oa .yesterday morning, about 7" o'clock,
however, one of his friends called to enquire
how he had passed the night and upon be-
lag-ushered into his room was startled
to find that the spirit of the unfortunate
man had left its earthly tenement and gone
to the God who gave it . ,; ; . . .
Mr. Ilechler, who was about 50 years
idt was a native (of, Alsace, in t France,
now a German province, . but has been
in this country many years. He has
been a resident of this qty Jot nearly three
years, where he has closely applied himself

' I take this method of defmdng mywjlf' against a
BASE and utterly FAUSE accusation made against
me by James Tfllson' lh Wednesday's issue of the
; Wilmington Stab,' in which the said Wilson charges
that I borrowed five hooka of reglstraflon from the
city, and, when' said books were alleid for i only re
tamed four, This is false. Furthermore the elry
anthorltiea never loaned the County OommlwsloherS
any registration book for Fifth Ward The, books
borrowed were two for the 1st Ward, one for Snd
Ward, one for rd Ward and one 'for the, 4th Ward,
which have been returned to Ifr. Wm. K. Price,' As-
sifltant City Treasurer. ' Now, then, the citizens
would like to know by what authority : the regiatra-'
tion books of this city were ts$4 in, the different
wards at the nominating meetings for the several
candidates for Aldermen In lt monflb The law
expressly says that those hooks are a legal record
and can only be used at an election anthorised by
law and then In the hands of sworn officers. James
Wilson did make use of those books at said meet
ings in the different wards last . month, according' to
his own statement, as I am prepared to prove. ."Try.
