John Doc kery, son of United States Marshall. H. C. Dockery, was shot and fatally wounded In the Tucker building this morning about ten o'clock by Police man I. W. Rogers. At mldnignt Dockery was still living being in the Rex hospital, where he was taken Immediately after the shooting, but his chances for recovery are exceed ingly slim, the attending physicians saying that he has not more than one chance out of one hundred to survive the wounds. Policeman Rogers made no at tempt to escape, was taken In custo dy and Is now In jail. The shoot ing was tbeoutcomeof family affairs, Rogers shooting Dockery tiecause he had ruined a daughter of the police man. Miss Lula Rogers.

He then learned that Policeman Rogers and three sons of H. C Howell had been looking for him and Claude Bernard. Ex United States District Attorney for the Easter dis trict of North Carolina. This morn ing Dockery set about to Bettle the trouble and with one of the Howell boys went Into the Tucker building with the Idea of golDg to the office of Atforney James H. Pou. When he entered the building he saw Police man Rogers at the head of the steps and sent Howell up ahead of him. Howell passed Rogers and Dockery was in four or five steps of him when the policeman drew his pistol and fird two shots. Both took effect. His left arm and left shoulder blade were broken by one Bhot aud the sec ond shot entered tne small of the back ranged downward-and lodged somewhere In the abdomen.

The many relatives and friends of this man in Granville 'were shocked Tuesday when they learned oi his sudden death near Willow Springs where he was visiting. Mr. O'Briant was thinking of locating at Willow Springs and had accompanied Mr. E A. Howard home, and on Tuesday morning was bright and cheerful Mr. James Taller, one of his old friends, lived two miles from the place, and decided to go and see hlrn. and while en route was attacked with heart disease. He was taken to the home of his friend and only lived about 3 hours after his arrival. His remains reached Oxford Wednesday afternoon and were carried out to Mt. Zlon church where they were con signed to the wlndowless house of the dea l In the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends, the funeral services being conducted hv Rev. J. A. Stradley. Truly a irood man has been called to his re ward. Mr. O'Briant was 40 years of age and had not enjoyed good health since he was accldently shot and severely wounded In the shoulder several years ago. He was a warm-hearted christian gentleman, and a devoted member of tnwirof Hills buro Decern ber 5 1 h, I & i 2, he was prepared for college at the sehool of Dr. Alexander Wilson In Alamance county. He entered the University in 1S00, but at the first alarm of war he enlisted as a private in Company D. 56t.h Regiment, Ran som's Brigade aud saw much hard service. It fell to his lottocommand the detachment that day theentrench meut where battle of the orator was fought In front of Petersburg and af terwards to participate In that bat tle. He was a strict dlclpllnarian, but ever attentive to the wants of his men In camp, and In battle was cool, gallant and fearlesp. Few officers ever had the affection and confidence of their men in a grea ter degree than did Captain Graham, and to this day the grizzled veterans speak with pride of their boy Captain of Co. D. He was badly wounded at Hares Hill March 25, 1SG5, but when the lines were broken and the retreat began he followed on crutches, with the aid of a faithful family servant and surrendered at Appomattox, and then returned to Petersburg to nurse a brother whom he had left danger ously wounded. After the war he returned to the University and graduated In theclass of 1808 with two of his brothers DrT George W. Graham and Judge A. W. Graham, the only instance in the his tory of University of three brothers receiving diplomas at the same time. He lived on his farm In Mecklenburg county and studied law and settled In Charlotte. He Iteeame Secretary of Civil Service Commission and af terwards Examiner In the Land Of fice of the Indian Department In both of which positions he earned the con fidence aud esteem of his superior offi cers, but upon the change of admln- tratlons he removed and then enter ed upon the practice of law In Wash ington. Captain Graham possessed an In tellect of a very high order and was a dllllgent student, especially of the history of his beloved State. He wrote the history of the 56 th Regi ment which Is Bald to be one of the best found In the Regimental Hlsto rles of North Carolina. He was a devout member of the Baptist Church and took much inter est In church and Sunday School work. For several years he had a elass of Chinese scholars In the leading Baptist Sunday School in Washing ton, and through his teachings and Influence several of them joined this church. He lived the quiet humble lite of a sincere christian, and we hope and believe he has been given his re ward. Six brothers and one sister survive him as follows: Drs. Joseph and Geo, iJi-Hhfsm. of Charlotte: Major John W. Graham, of Hlllsboro; Major W A. Graham, of Lincoln county ; apt James A. Graham, of Washington City; ex-Judge A. W. Graham, of Ox ford, and Mrs. Walter Clark, Raleigh r s follows: Some weeks ago, one Tuesday In May, John Dockery and Claude Ber nard went to the home of one Jennie Mays, carrying with themtwoyoung girls, the girl with Dockery being I Alia Rogers and the one with Ber nard being Bertha Howell. They were at this house another night the Batue week. On June 15. the girls, It la said, decided to run away from Raleigh but at the union depot met with some trouble in getting the tickets. They went to the home of Jennl Mays and were followed by one Will Parrlsh. He threatened to expose them by telling their parents and later did tell Clarence Howell. Clarence Howell Is a brother of the girl and In this way the story of the two girls' downfall reached the ears of their parents. When this story was learned Dock ery was In Wilmington and It was pon his return that he learned that Policeman Rogers was looking for him. The story of the tragedy is told n the above. In the meantime a warrant has been issued for Claude Bernard. The warrant Is Issued under the father's act, under the old English law.whlch carries with It arrest and ball.
