The details of tbe circumstances at tending the sbooting and subsequent Jeath of Robert Edward Keenan in bis mother's presence" on yesterday, two miles east of the city in Cuunn's Cove, are harrowing in tbe extreme. While the meatcDger who bnd been hastily dispatched for medical assistance was hurrying on his errand tbe unfortu nate boy was bleeding to death from tbe gaping bullet-, bole torn 11 bis breast. and in lees than half an hour from tbe time of receiving tbe wound be bad breathed his last in the arms of his mother. This horror of a sudden, cruel death came into tbe household by some body's reckless use of a gun. Young Keenan lived with his widowed mother, sisters and brothers, tbe family of the late Iluch Keenan, in Cbunn's Cove, about two miles distant from the city, and was regarded in tbe neighbor hood as a most promising youth. The lad was off in the mountains during yes terday morning gathering chestnuts, and after bis return home, between 2 and 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon, he re marked in bis mother's presence that be was come out to the oond to feed bis fish, and procuring a. piece of bread be left the house. Mrs. Keenan told Tub Citizen yesterday evening . that an im pulse seized upon bcr to iro with the boy, although she wasbusilv engaged with sewing, and she dropped her work and followed Robert, overtaking him at the stable, a few rods from the bouse, where be was petting a calf. A few minutes were spent there and as the boy and his mother started from tbe stable a shot was beard in the direction of the bouse on the Mclntire olace ad joining, followed immediately by the cry ot a snecp; no stop was made, but when Robert, who was a couple of steps in front of his mother, had almost reached the pond another shot rang out, and Airs. Keenan was startled to see tbe boy wheel sharpTV around with his hand clasped tightly to his breast, exclaiming, with features ueuotine the atronv of ter rible suffering: "Ma, I'm shot; I'm killed ! " The agonized mother screamed for help as her child fell upon his face to the ground and an instant later she had the body in her arms. As she sank upon the grass a stream ol blood appeared and and ber cries for help were renewed. Tbe children from the house brought cloths ond neighbors who came used every means at hand to staunch tbe flow ot blood, but nothing availed, and in about fifteen minutes the little fellow gasped: "Ada, I'm dying; Justice killed me, and in a lew convulsive motions was dead. Coroner Mcliraycr and Deputy Sheriff Hampton were on the scene of the dis tressing circumstance a few minutes af ter the death of the boy and steps were immediately taken by them to ascertain who fired the lata! shot. A jury was summoned consisting of II. M. Smith, H. J. Armstrong, J. H. Miller, Jules Roberts, T. IS. Creastnan and u. 11. Barnwell. Deputy Hampton arrested a man named Burt Justice on suspicion. lust tee had been employed, tin to tlx- time of the arrest, by P. C Mclntire, and has lived with his family on the place adjoining Kccnan's, where Mcln tire has a slaughter pen. After the shoot ing Justice left bis bouse end was n- turnine ancr auuui an nour s tiuscnce when he was arrested by tbe deputy. He said he bad been for tbe coroner. Alter viewine the corpsetbat had been placed upon a pallet on tbe spot where the boy fell, and bearing tbe statements of the mother and tbe prisoner, the iatal bullet was searched for, but it w-ns not found. The post mortem examination showed that the ball penetrated the anciform cartilage to the left of tbe median line, passing tnrougn tbe -body, making its exit between the ninth and tenth ribs an inch and a quarter to tbe right of the vetebral column. The prisoner then stated that a short while before he heard Mrs. Keenan's cries he had started from his house with a rifle to kill a sheep, and in crossing the held be had tired tbe weapon at a sap ling. This shot, however, was in an op posit e direction to Keenan's. Justice then saw, be said, the particular sheep he was after standing in the shade of a peach tree. He kneeled, rested the gun on a stump, fired at the animal and knocked it down. lie then cut the crea ture's throat, and bis children dragged it to the slaughter pen while he went to his dinner, lustice also stated that be had heard shooting in tbe direction of the Keenan's before he bad started out for the sheep. Justice s son, a. very small boy, per haps six years old, told Deputy Hamp ton that the sheep ran away after it was shot and that his father chased it down tbe lot, close by Keenan's, and bred at it again. Thejury went over the ground indi cated by Justice and found a man's tracks at the stump pointed out by him and a pool of blood under the peach tree where he said the sheep had fallen. There were marks, also, as ot the sheep s body having been dragged in tbe direction of the pen. The stump and tree were found to be in line with tbe shot, about 200 yards distant where the boy fell when shot. A close thicket intervenes and the slope of the land has a steep descent When the rifle was sigbted after the tragedy Monday evening, from tbe rest used by Justice it was seen that the bul let, after going-tbrougb the sheep, must have struck into a rock pile and bad then been deflected downward irom some un known cause to have reached tbe boy, Tbe sheepskin at the pen was examined and a bullet bole was found on eacb side of tbe neck and tbe neck bone was broken directly opposite tbe boles in tbe skin A return was then made to Mrs. Kee nan's and tbe Coroner adjourned the fur ther bearing until Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock in the court bouse. Justice was brought to the city and placed in tbe county juil. Tbe body of tbe dead boy was taken to bis late home and was buried ' in the family ground on the place this after noon. Mrs. Keenan's grief was heartrending as she told how her bey bad been shot down and killed under her eyes. Tbe poor woman said that she bad lived is terror for tbe lives of her household since tbe shooting of stock bad been going on in the Mclntire place, and that on Sunday 'there had been an unusual amount of firing heard on that place. j Tbe people living in the Cove freely ex press their indignation at the careless manner of persons who are gunning on their premises and often reply, to re quests to leave the lands, by open insult. A boy who threatened to shoot a gun ner's dogs unless they were taken off tke place where they were running down some fowls was told by the sportsman that be would 'gct a dose himself" if he made a motion. A farmer in the Cove who has been very much annoyed by hunters and dogs remonstrated with trespassers on Sunday last and received for nu answer: "There'll be clover here when you're in hell." This led to a re treat to the house for a gun, and when it was brought out tbe scoundrels ran away. 'Mrs. William Taylor, a neighbor of tbe Keenans, was slightly wounded in the arm and shot through her bonnet on yesterday forenoon, by partridge hunt ers. P. C. Mclntire told The Citizen today that there had never been any shooting on his place until last Sunday, when his sheep got loose and began destroying the crop of a farmer named White, who lived on the mountain. White notified Mclntire that the latter's sheep were ruining bis year's work and must be got off the place. Mr. Mclntire said that he started after the sheep with a couple of men and two guns on Sunday, but that they failed to find the animals and got lost in the woods, when they fired off four or five shots to find one another. He said that he had not owned a gun until Saturday last and that there had been no other shooting, to his knowl edge, on the place. THAT HIIOW TAX. NO ONE WEAKENING YET THK PRESIDENT SAYS THB FIGHT MITST GO ON. License Was Given Under seeilou 14. Schedule H. Ex-County Tax Collector D. L. Rey nolds asks Tub Citizen to say tbat he knew nothing of the contract made with Pawnee Bill's Wild West show regarding the license that show was to pay here. as he was not in the city at tbe time the contract was made. II. C. Jones, who was a deputy under Mr. Reynolds, says that some time ago an agent of the show came to hitn and wanted to arrange about the license. Mr. Tones thought thj law would require $100, but on be ing shown receipts from collectors in other parts of the State, concluded to leave the matter to Chairman Rankin of the County Commissioners. Mr. Rankin, after reading the law as passed by the last Legislature, concluded that theshow could not be strictly classed with circuses, and that the section covering t was No. 14, of schedule B., which says in part: On all companusor persons whatever who exhibit or give entertainments for the amusement of the public or for re ward, otherwise than is mentioned in the preceding sections. $5 for each exhi bition or perlormance. Mr. Jones then, upon authority ot Mr. Raukin, made tbe contract with the agent, in accordance with the section quoted. Mr. Kankiu told Titu Citizen that while the law was probably intended to cover all shows, he could not see that this particular one could, be taxed except under the section quoted.

Creasman and father and two other gentlemen, living eight miles south of Asbeville, had a narrow c.-cape Irom drowning last Friday as they were returning from the Waynesville reunion They drove their wagon into the upper ford of Hominy creek.

The condition of the repeat bill in the Senate with ref erence to a'compromise'is not so easy of definition today as it appeared to be on Saturday-. Tbe situation appears to have changed somewhat from the stand point of the ultra-repeal forces, and the reason for this change, real or apparent, is in the fact that the Administration has again made known its wishes that fur ther effort.be made to get the repeal bill through and amended. It is said tbat Mr. Cleveland is deter mined tbat Congress shall continue to debate the question if necessary until the the first of December. Mr. Voorbees said this morning, however, that he would expect tbe Senate to sit again tonight and eacb night hereafter until the ques tion coma be disposed ot on tbe lines originally mapped out. He says he would not expect to continue all niebt. but well into the night. Thecompromise Democratic Senators are still at work and they do not accept tbe opinion that compromise can be prevented. NEIRINO A CRISIS. Discussion Over a Cbause In sen ate Practice. Washington, (M. 17. Special. The Senate today took up the repeal bill and adopted a resolution to count Senators in their seats wether voting or not. The fight is coming to a crisis. In the Senate yesterday the lollowing bits of debate were interesting: Aldrich: "If I had my way the Senate would change its rules." Mr. Vest: ,-But you have not got your way. I Laughter. 1 If the Senator had his wav be would hare nnssed the force bill; but, thank God, he did not hive it." Hill: "If the rules of the Senate abso lutely prevent the passage of a bill which a majority desire to pass, then it strikes me that the best thing for the Senate to do is to endeavor to amend the rules so that a maioritv can pass a bill that they desire to pass." CAN SELL LIQUOR. A Soutb Carolina Judge Has si lie Dispensary Act Is Iilearal. Columbia, S. C, Oct. 16. Judge Hud- S3n has sustained a motion to quash the indictments against parties selling riee beer and liquors under the dispensary net. The grounds were that the indict ments were defective in form, the dis- peneary feature of the act was unconsti tutional, as the State government can not engage in tratnc, and the law is wanting in the elements of a police power, and the act cannot rest upon the rensons upon which a general prohibi tion law is tounded. PASSENGERS ESCAPED. With Another Railway Wrcclc Loss of Life. Pittsiiuri;, Pa., Oct. 17. Special.
