Exonerates Them All Another Shooting Affair in Duplin. (By Long Distance Telephone.) Kenansville, N. C, Dec. 26. Robert McMillan, a desperate negro of the Island Creek section of Duplin coun ty, was shot and killed Christmas af ternoon at 5:30 o'clock by officers who had gone to his house to arrest In May of this year, McMillan broke into the residence of Mr. D. E. Blan- ton, in the island Creek neighborhood, and" attempted to criminally assault i. ttianton. tie was subseauentlv arrested and taken before Magistrate ftiaums for a preliminary hearine. hut while the hearing was in progress the negro's wife slipped him a revolver which he suddenly drew and held off the officers while he made good his es cape. Since his escape, McMillan has been South somewhere, but a few days ago he returned home to spend Christmas. Hearing that the desperate criminal was again in his old haunts, Mr. Blan- ton and other citizens notified Sheriff D. L. Middleton and requested that his capture be effected. On the afternoon of the 25th, Deputy Sheriff John S. Herring, Mr. D. E. Blanton and" Mr. S. Parker went to Island Creek to ar rest McMillan. When they arrived at the negro's house the door was closed and there was no response to the de mands of. the officers for the door to be opened. Thereupon, Deputy Sheriff-Herring shoved the door open but as he entered, McMillan struck him over the head with a chair, and about tne same time the negro's wife hand ed her husband a shot gun. Deputy Sheriff Herring having been assaulted with a chair and seeing the despera do's wife hand him a gun, fired bis re volver and a 38 calibre bullet struck him In the mouth. The. three white men then rjished into the house and McMilan ran under the bed in an ad joining rom with his gun in his hand. Deputy Sheriff Herring ordered hm to come out but he would not make an answer and when the officers tried to go in where he was he endeavored to shoot them. The negro finally got from beneath the bed and was stand ing at its foot with his gun ready to shoot. The three men were deter mined to arrest him and started into the room where he- was when he' ad vanced on them with his gun, endeav oring fo shoot but the gun snapped. Coming to close quarters he struck Mr. Herring on the side of the head with the gun, whereupon Messrs. Her ring, Blanton and Parker all fired on him, one with a Winchester rifle, one with a. pistol and one with a double barrelled shot gun. The negro fell and died almost instantly. He had been struck by a bullet and the load from the shot gun had struck him in the neck, causing the fatal wound. The officers secured his gun and found it loaded with buckshot and also found a new revolver on a chair be side the bed. The negro had sworn that he would die before he would be taken and was prepared to kill or be killed. Yesterday morning Coroner J. A. Powell, accompanied by Sheriff Mid dleton went to Island Creek and held an inquest. The jury returned a ver dict of justifiable homicide.. An ex amination of the negro's body, devel oped that he was just recovering from a pistol wound, one wound having healed but the exit still suppurating. It is presumed that he was shot some where down South. Another Shooting. At Beaulaville, this county, Christ mas night the negroes had a frolic and a large crowd was in attendance, including Lat Chasten, an old man who is a "before the war darkey" and re- snerted bv the white neople. In the party was a young buck named Luth er Graham, about 24 years old, who was "one of your educated -negroes' and a dead game sport, rigged out in dude .clothes, patent leather shoes. high blue collar and white tie. There was dancing during the evening ana because old man Lat asked Graham's irirl to dance with him, the young ne gro whipped out a pistol and shot tne older one, inflicting a severe wouna in - . x S his shoulder. Granam was arrestea and is in jail at Kenansville. AT THE ACADEMY. Peruchi-Gypzene Company Giving Sat isfaction Matinee To-day.

Garrell. who rseent.lv Ii purchased for $8,000 the valuable prop erty at northeast corner of Second and Princess streets, from Alderman J. O. Brown, on yesterday commissioned Ar chitect H. E. Bonitz to prepare as soon as possible plans for a handsome three story brick building which will be erected on the site as soon as the .present structure is torn away. The carriage shops of Alderman Brown will be removed to another down-town location in a very few days and the work will then be pushed with all pos: sible dispatch so as to have the new structure completed by early . Spring.

Two of the stores will be 21 feet front and the third 17 feet, occupying the full 60-odd feet on Princess street. The store on the corner will be built, perhaps, with the idea in vjew of its occupancy as a drug store. All of them will be handsomely finished and will be an ornament to that part of the city. The architecture will probably be of the Renaissance style and no ex pense will be spared in making the structure modern in every respect. Mr. Bonitz's orders are to rush thej completion of the plans and those who know of his skill as an architect are confident that the structure ill be an ornament in every sense of the word.

INCIDENTSOF XMAS Day Was Bright and Clear and and AH Wiimington Was Out for Celebration WERE VERY FEW CASUALTIES Annual Distribution of Charity by Elks Serious Cutting Affray Football Game at Hilton and Other Attractions. Christmas 1905, with its joys and gladness, its sighs and sorrows, has passed into history, in Wilmington the day was very generally celebrated as it is usually celebrated by a healthy American citizenship. The weather was cool and clear, a perfect day for the pleasures and frivolities of such an occasion. There were hundreds o: pleasant home gatherings, services in nearly all the churches, a happy ex change of greetings on the street and a hundred and one other little inci dents that go to make up a perfect hoi iday.' A majority of business houses, including many of the saloons, closed for at least- a part of the day and all was given to recreation and merry making. , There ?were few untoward incidents of the day. The list of casualties at the hospital consisted of only seven cases, but none of them was serious. An accidental wound from a gun or pistol, an occasional disfiguration with a brick or billet of wood among the colored population, constituted the emergency calls and the hospital folks, while busy nearly all day and night, were, not troubled with any matters requiring close attention. A Cutting Affray. As the result of a fight Christmas afternoon at Sixth and Castle streets, Robert Johnson, a young white man, was badly cut by another well known oung man. Walter Croom, but it is hoped by those who are watching the case that Johnson will survive. He is at the home of his mother. Mrs. Sonhia Johnson, Sixth, between Castle and Queen streets, where Dr. R. H. Bel amy is attending him. Young John son and a young man named John Thnrn first had snm words and fell In a clinch to the street. Later they regained their feet and Croom took Tharn'a nart. savine he was not eoine to see Tharp licked. He drew a long knife, resembling a dirk, according to witnesses, and made a lunze at John- son, striking him on the right side of thfi head hetween the ear and the temple. In the excitement which fol lowed, Croom got away and has not since been heard of. Johnson's condi tion last night was very favorable. He is about 25 or 2i years old and has a wife and two children. Football Game. One- of the Christmas attractions was a fast game of football at Hilton Park between teams from the A. C. L., and Y. M. C. A. Neither side scor ed, though several times each team had the ball within the five-yard line. At critical moments both teams pull ed themselves together and gave a great exhibition of the sport. Another game is .arranged for New Year's day next Monday, the same teams meeting. weiv wni ue spem m i practice and another good game is as sured. The Elks' Charity. One of the prettiest features of the Yuletide holiday was the annual dis tribution of gifts to the poor of the city Christmas mornine bv the Wil- mington Lodge of Elks- The charity was; dispensed by Elks themselves. who were in personal charge of five delivery wagons laden with groceries, leaving the store of the Holmes Groc ery Company at 8:30 o'clock. The wagons were taken out by Exalted Ruler T. B. Carroll and Messrs. John 3. Furlong, W. VanHardin, Eugene Forshee and I. W. Solomon, constitut ing the central committee, assisted by a dozen other members of the lodge. who volunteered for the service. One hundred and five worthy poor families received packages of groceries con sisting of ham, flour, meal, sugar cof fee, lard and the like. Just before the wagons left on their rounds. Messrs. Warren & Davis sent over from their bakery a pound cake for each of the packages taken out by the Elks. Some families were found in very destitute circumstances and ar rangements were at once made by the Elks to still further, supply their needs. Several colored families were also re membere'd. Everywhere the Elks had a kind word for the distressed and in return came expressions of grateful ness and high appreciation. The wa gons were out the greater portion of the day on the mission of sunshine and giadness and many a heart was gladdened by the kindly presence of the kindly fellows, who believe that the joy of living is adding to the joy of the living around them.
