Charlotte Has Foul
Klurder
Sidney Swain Killed Early Sun
day Morning as He Left His
Store Alleged Murderer
Arrested.
Charlotte, May 17. Sidney
Swain, a grocer on Mint street,
near the Southern railroad, was
found shortly after 1 o'clock this
morning near his home between
Mint and the railroad, uncon
scions with a terrible wound in
his head. He was taken to the
Presbyterian hospital, and died at
5 o'clock this morning. At the
very hour of his death, Charles
li. I run, a young white man, 21
years of age, was arrested charged
witn tlie murder, and is in the
city prison awaiting trial.
Mr. bwain was a well known
groceryman of the third ward, and
successful one. Trull, charered
with having dealt him his death
wound with the object of rob
bery, had worked in a store next
to Mr. Swain.
It was Mr. Swain's custom on
closing up Saturday nights to take
his money from the drawer to his
home, on Mint, several blocks
south of the store. The fact that
he had only $3 on his person when
found and that there was no mon
ey in the cash drawer at the store,
and the further fact that Tru'l
who was at once suspected of the
crime, had $417 on him when ar
rested, was good evidence to the
officers that Trull had done the
deed with robbery as the intent.
MARRIED.
There was a quiet home wed
ding at Mr. Ii. R. Smith's on

breeze blowing. The railway
Comapny will provide picnic ta
bles and plenty of benches, where
picnic parties can spend a most

this point, there being catfish,
perch and homey heads in abun
dance. Mr. Price states that he
will shortl give notice of these
grounds being ready for use, and
will take pleasure in arranging
for fishing and picnic parties. It
would be impossible to find a spot
better suited for camping parties.
