It must have been about mid
night that the doctor was awaken

noise on the roof over Jackson’s

He listened intently and heard
perfectly a steady, easy tread on

The trial of the three negro men
charged with attempting to bur
glarize Mrs. Jennie Shuman’s res
idence, was held in the court house
this afternoon at 3 o’clock. The
trial was postponed from yester
day until today on account of the
fact that Hon. Lee S. Overman,
counsel for the plaintiffs, was not
able to appear at the trial, owing
to the funeral of his brother.
Mr. Overman and L. H. Clem
ent, Esq , have been employed for
the defense.
It is now believed that these
same men attempted to burglar
ize another residence in Salisbury
on the same night. One of them
has admitted to entering upon the the year 1900.
Prof. R G. Kizer, county su

Board of Education, has completed
his report and will mail printed
copies this afternoon to the com

The report is an interesting one
and shows that Rowan is one of
the leading counties in the State
in point of educational matters.
The report shows that there are
83 school districts in the county
with a total of 7956 white pupils
and 2575 colored pupils. The ap

cents per capita. A balance is re

The remains were accompanied
from the home by a body of his
old comrades in the civil war, part
of whom were dressed in their
uniform, and the Knights of
Pythias, the Uniform Rank being
a conspicuous feature in tbe pa
rade. Before leaving the resi

dressed in tbe gray uniform which
he wore at Memphis and Confeder

The seating capacity of the edi

those who were present and about
200 were turned away. Miss

A FAMOUS CASE.
Brief mention was made in yes
terday’s SuN of an altercation in
which Mr. Will McCanless, the
oldest son of Mr. N. B. McCan
less, was hit with a base ball bat
in the hands of Tom McNeely, a
son of Burt McNeey, one of Salis
bury’s most respectable and
worthy colored citizens. For
twenty minutes after receiving the
blow Mr. McCanless was in an un
conscious condition. A doctor was
immediately called in and he was
removed to his father’s home on
Main street. He had been dealt
a vicious blow on the head but an
examination showed that the skull
was not broken and it is believed
that the young man will not suffer
any permanent injury. Will Mc
Canless is an exceedingly popular
young man, p aceable and inoffen
sive, and there was a great deal of
indignation on the part of his
friends when the news of the at
tack upon him was learned.
As soon as he had committed
the assault McNeely ran but was
caught by Mr. John Morgan.
Later he was taken to the jail,
where be is now confined. Later
information received implicated
Garfield Shaping and he was also
locked up.
The difficulty did not occur in
Mr. W. H. Wallace’s store, as
stated, but on the sidewalk at the
corner of Main and Fisher streets.
A ’phone message received from
Mr. McCanless’ residence at 2:30
o’clock this afternoon states that
the young man has rested very
well during the day. It is impos-
