Shot Before he was Captured, and is Seriously Wounded. Will be Brought to Charlotte. Eil Marshall has been captured. A telephone message came to the News trom Pineville early this morning saying the report had reached there that Marshall had been captured in South Carolina. The News this morning received a telephone message from Monroe, saying that Marshall had just been brought there, and placed in the Union county jail. CAPTURED AT OSCEOLA. Marshall was captured late yester day afternoon, about dusk, at Os ceola, S. C. He has been for several days along the border between North and South Carolina, and has been located near Waxhaw, and just over the line in South Carolina. But each time he was located he escaped. Yesterday evening the report came that Marshal was near Osceola. A party was at once made up, and went in pursuit of him. Messrs. Starnes, McGirt and Cren shaw ran up on him near Osceola. Marshall, when ne saw they were after him, started to run. One of the party had a shotgun loaded with old pistol balls. He pulled his gun and shot at the fugitive. One " f the balls took effect in Marshall's hip, and he fell to the ground. They captured him easily. This morning Marshall was brought to Monroe, and placed in jail. The wound in his hip is seri ous. A Monroe doctor tells the News tha: Marshall cannot be moved for sometime on account of his wound. The ball has not yet been located, and it is impossible to determine the extent of the injury. Marshall will be held in Monroe jail until he is able to be moved. He will then be brought to Charlotte and put in Mecklenburg jail. If he had been caught anywhere in the vicinity of the locality in which the crime was committed, he would hardly have been brought to jail, the indignation against him is so intense. A gentleman from Pineville said today that Mr. Nevins was some better, and there ar-. hopes of his re covery. STICK BY THE NOMINEES Only Loyal Democrats Remain in the Workingmen's Club.

Returning to Washington from Flo'r ida Painfully Injured by His Fall. Spoke of Vance and Wants his Bi ography Recalls His Visit to Char lotte. Those. who were waiting around the Southern station Sunday night when the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta train pulled in were repaid for their wait, for they had an op portnnity of seeing William Jennings Bryan, who was returning from a trip to Florida. A News reporter had the pleasure of a lozg chat with Mr. Bryan on the train from Co lumbia. He was not able to sit up having suffered painful injuries from the fall of a platform in St. Augustine the other day. Mr. Bryan has a bad cut over the right eye-lid, a big bruise on the right side of the forehead, and both of his limbs were more or less scraped in the fall. The injury that Mr. Bryan seems to think the most se rious was just above the heart. At the time of the fall he had a small silver match case in his vest pocket. He fell on a large stone and the case was badly smashed, inflicting a bad bruise. At first he thought that several of his ribs were broken, but on examination it was found that it only amounted to a severe bruise. Mr. Bryan recalled his visit to Charlotte last fall, and said that he hoped to return to North Carolina some time in the near future. He remembered the large hornet's nest that swung from the stand that he spoke from, and several other little incidents. Mr. Bryan was told by the report er that the life of Senator Vance would soon be on sale and he expres sed a great desire to have one. He was informed that a copy of the book would be sent him as soon as it was issued, for which he is to send Til's -News a volume of his book, l4lLe First Battle." In speaking of his book Mr. Bryan says that the receipts have" already amounted to enough for him to purchase the residence in Lincoln that he has occupied for several years. Up to two months ago he has been a renter. Mr. Bryan stops over in Wash ington today where he will make a short address to the executive com mittees of the Association of Demo cratic Clubs. On tomorrow he is a guest at the Jeffersonian dinner that will take place in Washington. From Washington he goes to his home in Lincoln. MR. POnS DROPPED DEAD. Well Known Citizen of Mecklenburg Dies Suddenly. A very sudden death occurred near Davidson College Tuesday. Mr. Tom Potts, who lives two nuies from Davidson College, dropped dead at 6 o'clock. He has been in his usual health recently, and his family had no warning of his sudden end. He was seventy-nine years of age, and his increasing years had left the mark of age. But his death was a great shock to his family and friends. He was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of the com munity in which he lived; for years he had been a member of Bethel church. He leaves three children.
