NEAR BEER LED TO FEARFUL
TRAGEDY.
Durham, N. C, Jan. 18, A
fatal fight between G. H. Dove
and Joe Roycroft, near Benehan
last night, led to the arrest this
morning of Dove and his bind
ing to court- without bail this
afternoon on charge of murder.
Near-beer can claim the credit.
In a little shanty eight by ten,
the men quarrelled oyer a trivia
lity last night and Dove shoved
Roycroft to the floor. As he
came up both men drew knives,
but Dove was too quick. They
shook hands and drank to peace,
Dove paying for Roycroft's bot
tle of beer. As Dove turned to
walkout, Roycroft struck him
with a beer bottle and severely
injured him. Dove called for a
doctor and remarked that "feoy
croft was walking across the
fields, but he was, staggering
to his death.
The dead man presented a
horrible picture of dying des
peration. He had seized his sever
ed juglar vein and apparently
tried to stop the flow f blood.
One witness testified that he
cried murder and accused
Dove. The disappearance of
William Lewis today lends to
the suspicion that Lewis acually
stabbed Roycroft as the wound
was on the right side and Lewis
is reputed to left handed.
The near-beer establishment
had been licensed, but one week.
It doubtless caused the fight of
two long time friends. There is
considerable interest in Granville
because both were of means
Roycroft having a large family
besides.
