McBrayer and a jury in tbe inquest concerning the killing of John Right near Mine Hole Gap on Tuesday last, heard the testimony In the case today in the Recorder's room at the city hall. Sam Harper, the man hr-ld for the killing, was present at the investigation, and his wife and three of his daughters were also in attendance. Rachel Harper, the 12 years old daugh ter of the prisoner, testified that she came to Aslieville on Tuesday last with her father in a wagon. When they went back home witness rode in the weeon with Mrs. Pinker ton, and Mr. Right and Harper rode in the L'dgy. The child said that her father bad been drink ing, but was not drunk. The men were driving behind the wagon and their mule had its head in the wagon almost all the time. When they got to the forks of the Crooked creek or Marion road the wa gon and buggy were stopped close by each other. It began to get dark when they got to tbe top of the mountain, but the moon was shining when they stop ped and they could see plainly. M.r. Kignt was very drunk and staggered. He sat up in the busrjyy with his bead dropped on his breast. When the buggy stopped Harper got out and Right drove on to tbe top ot the bill where be jerked bis horse and turned the buggy across the road. Right fell or jumped out and came back and struck Harper twice with a whip. Harper said: "What do you mean John?" but Right made no re ply and kept on bitting him until tbe whip was broken, when he began strik ing at Harper with what the witness thought was a knife held in his right hand. Harper did not strike Right, only warded off the blows, and after a little while Right staggered off again and fell in the road on his side. The wit ness said she saw the blade of the knife used bv Rigbt. When tbe tbe fight over Harper said "Welt, don't that you out ! and went and stooped Kight, looked in his tace and called Pinkerton to come and look. Mrs. Nancy Pinkerton, an elderly woman, said that she was walking toward home and just beyond Biltmore she was overtaken by a wagon and buggy and Mr. Harper, who wus in the buggy, told his little girl to stop the wagon and let witness ride. Witness story of tbe fight was similar to that told by Rachel Harper. She said a' so that Right came back to Harper and asked the latter for his (Right's) whip, which was handed over and the blows begun. Tbey went round and round and both fell but they were not clinched. The witness did not see anything but a whip in Right's hand. When Harper got up he called out: ' John, get up and go home." Witness went up to Right; he was breathing heavily and Harper said : "I don't like to leave him here." Both men had been drinking. Witness said that she was so badly scared that she didn't know anything hardly, but she went and told tbe neighbors that they were iiehtine down in the road and that she reckoned Mr. Right was badly hurt. lohn A. Earwood testihed that he went, with others, at the call of Mrs. Pinker ton, to the spot where the fight had taken place and they found Kit lit 'y'nK in the road and to all appearances was dead. Witness saw a knife lving near Right's feet. Harper went with witness to the latter's house where Harper ate his supper after puttine up his horse. Witness saw no blood on Harper's hands; Harper did not wash h:s hands and couldn't have washed without witness seeing him. Harper's only reference to the fight was that he'didn t know what made Mr. Right do so." Witness gave Harper a bed and at the request of Righc's friends watched him all night. I nomas Jvarwood, jr., T. A. barwood, Duff Sales, Clarence Whitrtker. K. A. Cogburn, John Trantham, nnd . Sor rels, gave unimportant testimony. ii. VV. sales said be picked up a bloody open knife near the feet of Right, who was dead. Witness closed the knife and gave it to a brother of the dead man. Witness identified a knife shown him by the Coroner as the one he picked up. Tbe knile has a blade about two inches long that is stained with blood. Mr. Harper said in witness' presence that Rigbt had cut at him with a knife: Harper was examined for cuts, but the only mark found was a scratch on one of his bands. loe Mitchell said that he was driving home when he was stopped in the road at the place where the fight had taken place and was told that John Rigbt was Harper spoke up A ShollnK Aa pool R.ee lis That l.ocamtv. That interesting precinct known as Happy Hollow, which, by the way is not always happy, had something to divert Its inhabitants' attention from accustomed channels yesterday after noon. About 6 o'clock Alex King, col ored, tired of his labors, sought his home in tbe Hollow. The shades of night were falling as fast as they ordinarily do in that burg and Alex, felt a soothing dreaminess come over his frame. He sat down on a chair near the window of his room, leaned his head against a window 1ane and in little or less time was wrapt n slumber. As King slept Gus McDowell, also col ored, entered the house, with blood in bis eye and a pistol in his hand. He was gunning for King. King's wi'e threw herself between the men as McDowell took aim at the sleeper. McDowell took aim over the wife's shoulder and the next instant tbe pistol spoke. King awoke at the first fire. Tbe bul let had passed within a hair's breadth of King's head and crashed through the pane. Before the astonished King could collect his senses McDowell had fired four more shots, but tbe sbootlst's band was unsteady ansl the bullets went wide of King. By the time the shooting was over King girded himself about and made for McDowell, who scooted through the door. Then up the Hollow and across town ran pursuer and pursued, attract ing the attention of everybody in the neighborhood, until King's les;s gave out and he left tbe field in possession of the fleeing McDowell. Soon after this excitement bad died out McDowell, so the police are informed, returned to the. Hollow and tried to shoot Bud Payne, but no damage was done. Today the sun shines on a peace ful Happy Hollow and the pslice are looking for McDowell. TELLER BESUMEB THE PEAL DEBATE.

Tbe noc turnal visitors forced their way into Dr. Brdman's pantry and stole therefrom a quantity of silverware of considerable value. At Mr. tiarrett's bouse the thieves stole two Bibles that were in a bookcase near the window. Tbe upper sash of the window had not been fastened, and the thieves had only to lower the upper sash, reach in and get the Bibles. One of the books was specially prized, as it contained annotations made in the past twenty years. Besides, the thieves vis ited the coal house and carried off a sack of coal.

TIsa Latest Work of tbs Asnevllle lee sin (I Coal Company. Every person susceptible to the blasts of drear winter will be in greater or less degree interested in the new coal yards of the Asheville Ice and Coal compaay on the east bank of the French Broad river at the trestle approach to the Western North Carolina railroad bridge. Accompanied by Geo. R. Collins, of the company. The Citizen yesterday visited the new yard. A sidetrack has been put in at the same height as tbe main tres tle, and extending above the coal yard some 300 hundred feet. Under this side track are the bins in which the "black diamonds" will be stored for sale as re quired. The space between the rails of the track is left open and the unloading of one of the huge coal cars is thns a mat ter of only a few minutes. Several large screens are also put up under the track and as the coal is emptied from the eon dolas it is separated into two or three grades, the dust and very fine coal going where it does not become a part of the purchase of the consumer. The entire ar rangement is a great improvement over tne old way ot unloading cars by band Six cars can be emptied at once on this track. Mr. Davis, a representative of the Jellico mines, who was here last week, declared that no city in tbe South had a more complete coal yard than the one in question. The bins have a capac ity of 1,500 tons, and Mr. Collins promised The Citizen that there should be no coal famine here this wiuter. if the railroads can do their dutv. Incident ally, also, he said there wai not likely to be any rise in prices of coal this win ter. in order to make the rnal yard more easy of access, the company is macadam izing uk street icaaing mcrcto irom West Haywood.
