The story most generally told is to the
effect that Willis Morgau bad been pay
ing attention to Miss May, a daughter
of John Robert Sams. The father ob
jected to Morean's visits and fvuformed
him, warning him to stay away. Last
night, so this version goes, Morgan
wanted to escort the young lady to
church, but was told by the father that
be must not. Morgan returned shortly
alter, it is said, with a pistol in each
hand, and continuing toadvam-e in spite
of warnings was fired upon by Mr Sams,
who was armed with a shotgun, and
almost instantly killed.
Anot ber version is tbat Morgan bad
procured a marriage license and tbat he
was seeking the young lady when killed.
Another rumor, however, puts alto
get her a new light on the killing so far
as Mr. Sams is concerned. This is to
the effect that Morgan was advancing
upon the house and was killed by a
deputv sheriff named &mitb, who was
guarding tbe bouse.
Morgan, tbe dead man, was 19 or 20
years of age, and was well known here.
His father, lohn F. Morgan, lives here,
as docs bis brother, Deputy Sheriff Jesse
M. Morgan.
Mr. bams, whom one rumor savs did
the killing, is a brother-in law of Col
lector Carter ot Asheville. and one ol tbe
most prominent at d popular citizens of
Madison county, lie was once treasurer
ot that county, and has been foremost

Canton, X. C, Feb. U. Western
North Carolina has long been famous
(perhaps un escrvedly so) f r "moon
shine licker" and some recent occurren
ces appear to establish the truth ol the
charge to some extent. It has just been
learned from reliable authority that on
Saturday night a crowd of men and
women with a copious supply of moun
tain dew forced an entrance into a small
church or school hotie on East Fork ol
Pigeon, by raising boards in tbe il tor.
Here they held high carnival tor some
tune. Adiourniug the meeting there
they proceeded to another church in the
same vicinity, wbcre another very in
formal meeting was held. So indecorous
was this meeting that not only the
house was abused, but the Sunday
school organ was ruined. So far as cut)
be learned no action has been takeu to
punish the guilty parties, who seem to
have great privil. gcs.
It is also reported, on what seems
good authority, that Some days aio a
deputy marshal went into this same
locality to arrest one Harley Trull, who
is a moonshiner ol some note, and, on
arriving in the neighborhood be imbibed
some of the stuff. Meeting Trull, he
took on some more, the storv goes, und
Trull proposed a shooting match. Both
engaged in tbe shooting and after the
marshal's ammunition was exhausted
Trull assaulted and abused bim, then
took him nd cared for him over night
at his (Trull's) house. Next morning be
put the officer on the road home and
warned bim to keep moving.

Cincinnati,
A telegram was received here late ves-
terdav afternoon bearing the news that
W II J. Atkin, formerly of Asheville,
committed suicide in Cincinnati yester
1av. The telegram was to
Mr. Atkin and asked us to the disposi
tion of the body, giving no particulars
A reuly was sent directing tbat the body
be buried there.
Mr. Atkin was about 25 years of age.
Several vears ngo he was iu the contcc-
ttonerv business on Patton avenue with
I) A Wilkie. He was also employed as
clerk in the store of J. M. Heston, und
was with other business men btre at
various times He had been on the road
a drummer for a Knoxville bouse. II
was an athlete tit locul note, a voung
man ol pleasing acquaintance and made
many lnenils during bis residence here,
Mr. Atkin has three sisters
band and the pancake turner in the
other. When she started back she
a Suicide In took up another lamp to fetch i
O- I down stairs. She curried the pancake
turner in her mouth On her wuv
down stairs she tripped and fell tit-ad
first to the bottom, The handle ol the
pancake turner struck the fl lor and
drove the other end into Mr. klimtt s

fortunately ineiumps wereexunguisuia,
but before the pancake turner could be
removed from Mrs. Elliott's neck the
bundle had to be taken off, when the tur
ner was pulled through. That Mrs.

after such an extraordinary experience
is the wonder of the medical men of Del
