MOCKING-IHItlVS FIFTH MURDER, j Asheville Watchman Kills City Pa trol Driver' "Woman in the Case Murderer Has Bad Record. Asheville, N. C, July 5. James B., Allison, formerly night watchman at the City Hall, shot and killed Floyd M. McGee, driver of the city patrol wagon. After firing five bul lets into McGee, Allison picked up a sledge-hammer and pounded several blows upon the skull of the dying man. The murder, within the heart of the section, created intense ex citement, and great crowds soon gathered. Allison turned to walk off, and hearing cries of "Lynch him," surrendered to City Tax Collector C. H. Bartlett, and was turned over to Sheriff Hunter and landed in the county jail for safe-keeping. There apears to be a woman in the case as the cause of the trouble. Allison has a wonderful record of killing people and escaping punish ment, this making at least his fourth man that he has killed in Asheville. Each time he has escaped punish ment upon one plea or another. While in the employ of the city three years ago as night watchman at the City Hall, he killed an engineer named Roberts, of Charlotte, whom he had placed under arrest, and his defense was self-defence. The kill ing of McGee, however, savors of the premedatory variety. HOT FIGHT IN THIRD. Hood Leads But Thomas Shows Up Well Duffy Hardly in It. Goldsboro, N. C, July 5. Three hundred and ninety ballots have been taken. On last ballot vote is: Thom as, 41.26; Hood, 84.23; Duffy, 25.29; Robinson, 23. Takes 113 to nomi nate. The convention has been sit ting without interruption since 1:30, held in the opera-house, looks like a continued deadlock for some time to come. . Negro Youth Buried Alive. Winston-Salem, July 4. Smother ed by a pile of dirt as he lay asleep in the bottom of a construction car, was the fate of 13-year-old McKinley Myers, a negro boy who was employ ed to carry water to one of the labor er's camps. The trainmen were, of course, not aware of his presence in the car, the boy having crawled into the car and fallen asleep while off duty and a huge pile of dirt was thrown in upon him. It was not until the car had made its run, a distance of about two miles, to the fill-in of the Salem viaduct and the dirt was dumped into the fill that the dead body was discovered. Former Congressman Atwater Drops Dead. Durham, N. C, July 4. Ex-Con gressman John M. Atwater, of Far- rington .Chatham county, dropped dead late this afternoon while plow ing on his farm. The news of his death came here by the Durham and South Carolina road and only the bare facts could be gathered. He had not been pre viously ill, so far as . known. When found he was dead.

Later. The prisoners were identi fied as the assailants and were taken to Durham for safe-keeping, there being fear they would be lynched. SENSATION AT HIGH POINT. Dr. Vestal and Wife are Arrested Charge is Malpractice. High Point, N. C, July 3. As a result of abortion practiced by Dr. W. L. Vestal, this city, Bessie Thomasson, of Statesville, is dead and May Owen, of Linnwood, is in a j serious condition here.. In the first j case the child was about 3 months j old and the latter two months. Vestal is in jail, charged with mur der. The jury sitting on the case, after viewing the body and hearing the testimony, rendered a verdict ; that said Bessie Thomasson came to her death through an unlawful act of one Dr. W. L. Vestal. A young man by the name of Levy Maynard, who, it is alleged, was the ruin of the girl, and who figured prominently in the case up to the time of death, is wanted by the offi cers. Mrs. Vestal was also arrested by the officers. Vestal, it seems, has been conduct ing a kind of a hospital for such cases in the heart of the city, and while the medical fraternity here has known that he' has practiced such unlawful business, this is the first time they have got conclusive evi dnece.

Democratic Sheriff "Fires" Deputy. Asheville, July 2. Deputy Sheriff . . Frank M. Jordan, serving for the past twelve or thirteen months as a dep uty sheriff under Sheriff T. F. Hunt er, was yesterday summarily dismiss ed by the high sheriff of Buncombe county. The dismissal of Mr. Jordan who together with Sheriff Hunter, Deputy Sheriff E., M. Mitchell and Deputy Sheriff C. F. Williams, were candidates before the Democratic primary last Saturday for the sheriff alty nomination, came as a surprise and explanations were sought. The trouble, Culminating in the dis charge of the latter, was the indirect result of the Democratic primary last Saturday. In that contest Sheriff Hunter sought renomination while Mr. Jordan, Deputy Sheriff WTilliams, Deputy Sheriff Mitchell and Dick Penland sought a nomination, at the hands of the Democrats. Mr. Wil liams won a plurality with Mr. Mit chell second in the race. Mr. Mit chell would not call a second primary and Mr. Williams was declared the nominee of the paryt for sheriff. MOTHERS!

The Italian government took the last step preparatory to making its demand upon the United States for the surrender of Porter Charlton to be tried in Italy for the murder of his wife at Como Lake, when the final papers in the case were drawn up in the foreign office.

The White Champion Was Outclassed From the Start and was Badly Beaten Largest Purse Ever Known. Reno, Nev., July 4. The greatest prize fight that has probably ever been pulled off ended to-day here in the fifteenth round when James J. Jeffries, the winner of twenty-two championship fights was all but knocked out by Jack Johnson, the negro. The negro had the white man beaten from the start, and pun ished him unmercifully. The defeat was a great surprise, as the betting was two to one on Jeff ries. The white 'champion has been out of the ring for over six years and he had lost the speed and youthful stamina that had made him the greatest man of his class in the world. The purse was $101,000, ot which the winner received sixty per cent, and the loser forty. Tbere were also side bets by each man of $15,000. Blockading on the Increase. Washington. D. C.
