Their dissevered limbs were

shot at the bodies. He gives
other details too horrible to be

"It seems that the Boxer lead
ers had organized a plan, includ
ing the offering of rewards and
rich loot for the annihilation of
Europeans throughout China,
and that Prince Tuan's generals
have been emphasizing the op
portunity the soldiers have of
seizing the bodies of white wo
men." Every day seems to bring con

ment of the powers in the plans
of co-operation.

"W W Rockhill, director of

Had the Somenille Affidavit Stuck Un
der his Xose by Mr. Craig After Deny
ing the Existence of a Deal.
An Asheville special to the
Charlotte Observer says the out
ragious conduct of the .Republi
cans at Flat Creek was repeated
at Big Ivy on the 18th.
Locke Craig was speaking and
was being very much disturbed
by rowdies which was borne by
special coolness of Mr. Craig.
He had just received a copy of
the Asheville Citizen . containing
the disgraceful sale of Gazett's
principles. No one else had re
ceived it.
Mr. Craig asked his opponent
Col. Lusk if ho had anything to
do with subsidizing the Asheville
Gazette. The Colonel promptly
answered no: there was no such
deal. Mr. Craig then read the
affidavit. It very much unsettled
the colonel. Mr. Craig then
asked him if he knew anything
about the deal but the colonel
would not answer.

A right serigus shooting affair
took placo this morning at Silver

standing that' it was not loaded.
The trigger was pulled and the

the abdomen of 'a 10 year old
'negro boy s'tting in the door.
The ball passed over the left
kidney and lodged just under
the skin near the spine. The
spine was considerably fractured.
The boy was suffering too
much to have the ball extracted
this morning, but was resting
easily when the doctor left him.
