GAIE^ YESTERDAY
One Leg Was Severed From
Body and Other Mangled
Last Seen Alive Late Sunday
Afternoon.
Robert Stevenson, colored a realdent
of Aurora this county was found
lyitig on the Washington and Vacdemere
railroad track near Royal early
this morning with one leg severed from
his body and the other leg
mangled. When the body woe dlscovered
it Abused considerable exciteraent
and quite a crowd gathered
to view the remains. As to the csuse
of his death opinion seems to be di- 1
vided. Some of the residents of that
- rtwtx ???
Stevenson was the victim of foul play
while others dispute this claim and
claim that the dead man was runover
by the Waahington and Van dense
re engine Last night while on her
way to Vandemere from Rocky Mt.
where she was repaired yesterday.
The finding of the body was communicated
to. Dr. Jack Nicholson, the
county coroner this morning and h? 1
left for the scene of the tragedy and'
will hold an inquest sometime today
It seems that Stevenson, according
to reports, went to Royal yesterday
and while there engaged in.
'jl crap game wtfh several of his colored
comrades. Stevenson was unlucky,
the resqlt being that he lost
, all his money and then pawned his
watch to keep in the game. Stevenson
claimed that he had been robi
bed and demanded his money and
watch-which was refused. A quarrel
. enBucd and 8tevenson again came
t out second best. Not only was he
severely beaten but treated to a bath ^
t tin South Creek. This was more than
^tevenson could stand bo he deteri
mined to go to his home in Aurora
and 'get his gun and Beek revenge.
> ' It Is said that he stated to Mr.
; Bonner Thompson, of Aurora, the
above facts and then added. "I am
. going back to Royal and 1 am either
I going to have tho money and watch
. they robbed of back or I am going to
f ing to hare me a negro.".
I This was late Sunday afternoon
i and was the I oat seen of Stevenson
alive. His body was found early
this morning as above stated. Steveson
it is stated had been drinking
some daring the morning part of
