Next to the engine there , were three box cara and a nvmbr of ' flat cars, that were loaded with rall- . road iron. ' " i. - ; 1 Story Tdd by "Wltneese. The man wao seemed to" . know ' most about the dreadful accident was a aegfo by the name of Ben Rlggina, who Is In the employ of Mr. Klni brough Jones, at his farm Just be yond Crabtree Creek. -;, Rlggina' state ment is In substance, as follows: "I saw it all. They were driving along towards Raleigh, the three men In a , top buggjf. . When i they had got to a place near the 'railroad track, where, that curve In the dirt road, tha mule got, frightened at the blowing . of the train whistle and started to run. The train was running along fast towards Raleigh, 'and when the . mule got even with the track, the ' engine and three box cars had pass- ed and it was a flat car that rtruck the mule, or that he tried to Jump on. Jim Brooks, the man who wa3 '. killed, was sitting in the foot of the buggy, Mr.T John Nlppel was onvthe . left hand aide of the seat and David Clay, who' owned the mule and who was driving, was on the right side " The mule was struck and was turned - round, ftr. Nlppel was on the side next to the train and was hurt, and j when the buggy was turned , upside down , it landed i In that gully, and Dave Clay was under it and had to !,l be taken out." , . . There were others who saw the . tearful accident. Among them were v, Mr. J. D. Allen, and Bill Smith, who works" with ' him at his farmt Allen ' Thompson, of Rogers' Store, and Vlc- torla A. Emanuel, a colored woman who lives a few hundred yards from , the crossing. The statements of all . : the witnesses seem to have .agreed ' Incidents of the Death. 1 Whatever the real circumstances "may have been, the awful evidences were all exposed to the view of the .' reporter. .The road, at 'the Intersec tion of the railroad tracks white on a level with the steel' rails, is slightly v . obscured ? by Intervening ridges of ) ' red clay, ; that! v are ' " ove'rgro wn n , patches by' weeds and grasses,'' which s render ; imposBible a, , clear; .view, i t though the railroad track Is clearly ' in sight Just at the crossing." The ' position of the dead negro, the dead mule and the buggy show play;ly the . direction,, force. and suddenness , of - rthe fatal impact. , - Just a few feet from the track la a wooden bridge, curved . a8 runs the dirt road, and spanning a gully or wash, possibly seven'or eight feet' fn depth';;"' Into this gully the buggy was thrown, entirely ::up-slde down, V and it was under this wreckage that the owner of the mule and buggy was : found almost unhurt. It Is needleBS ; to state that the buggy was smashed ' nearly to splinters. Lying within a ' foot of the steel railroad tracksthere lay the. body of the dead negro and in uncanny nearaeHg tne mule that hnd mot his d"ath after 60 great na aR right.

He was removed to Rex Hos pital shortly after the accident, where he was atteded by Dn James R. Rog ers. Dr. Rogers told a reporter ct the Times that the man could not recover. The shoek Was 'most in tense, by reason of" his - Injuries, whJ Ji iucHido vtr"Mx"bi'6lien ribs, right collar bone fractured, and the lef shoulder broken, and In addition to en mis lesser injuries. At tne press hour there was no perceptible change In the unfortunate man's con dition. .-. - ; ' . , Mr. Nlppel was coming to the city to appear before the Board of County Commissioners and to plead exemp tion from taxation by reason of his poverty,' which adds another shade to the tragedy. - . Idle Curious at Scene. While the rains fell and the drops pattered into the face of the dead, and spattered .over wider areas the blood that had been spilt, there as sembled numbers of people those of the kind who are ever moved by a sense of curiosity to view all that comes to pass of life, death, or ex pectancy. Men, women and children of all ages and conditions and colors- '-went' and came from the place1 of blood and death. The rains seemed not to deter them, as they stood wide eyed and with mouths agape, and gaxed and offered varying comment. Undertaker Strickland was called to the place and removed the re mains of the negro to the city to his undertaking parlors where the body will be prepared for burial. The ser vices of the coroner were not deemed necessary. It was one Of those hap penings, accidents, fatalities that seems apportioned to the passing of the days, and it was air in the pres ence of witnesses ' .

The contempt case was to have been heard at 9 o'clock bu U was aftor 10 when the hearing final ly took place. Judge Ward then sentenced the ex-mayor to servy a term oi thirty days in jail and to pay a line of $200. From this an attempt was made to appeal the mut ter, to the Supreme Court of the St.ite The appeal was denied and the pris oner went to jail, being locked tip Sunday morning just before 1 o'clock. Yesterday a writ of habeas corpus was issued by Judge Plat D Walker, of the Supreme Court bench, which was returnable before him n Raleigh to-day at 12:30 o'clock, it was intimated at the time by Judge Walker that he would ask the entire Supreme Court -bench to sit with him. The above tells In brief the worst affair that has ever taken place in Durham, at least during recent year. There is one fortunate feature of the affair. It -was the act of one man in assaulting the judge of the Sirie rlor Court and he today stands con demned ; by the best people of the town. They sympathize with him -McCowan was & popular man but they condemn without reserve the piece of foolhardy business in fight ing a judge on account of a sentence passed. ; Durham groans that auch a thing should have taken place here. but it is a matter that cannot no-v be prevented. r To say that the assault made on Judge Ward 'created a sensation' would be to put It mildly. The peo ple were speechless. They did uot know ' What to Say at first. Then there was a popular outburst of in dignation and Judge Ward stood wtfh the' support of all our people la tins trouble and McCown stood marked as a', man who had .done thoughtless perhaps an act that- cannot be ex 'WE PAY' 4 PER ANNUM , COMPOUNDED SEMI-ANNUALLY MY0UP; DEPOSED wake") i county O , i SAVINGS DANK,, w Sfe - dflllTSI CASES 1 uf IwifW k r it lb I. i a4 lb Iwaa i I W4 atfc4 k- . ta iU.-d ai.i' ' K4a ( MX a imi4 I . it. .4 li tail 11.' !)

Sunday nearly all of the dirt carts were used in the work of salting the gutters.

Over a thousand tons of salt have been used so far and the work will be continued. Outside Ca".
