Misenheimer Mr. Lowder Very 111,'Haa Appendicitis. (By A. BL ACKWELDE R. ) Mt. Pleasant, July 24. Just be ' fore aoon today a vicious looking ne gro man made his appearance at Mrs Sallie Misenheimer's, who lives just off the Concord road about two miles . west of here. His looks and actions were Of a very suspicious nature, and when questioned by Mr Henry Shoe as to what he wanted his reply clearly indicated that he was out for the pur pose ttf perpetrating another hellish crime. In fact he so stated in language ' unmistakable to Mr Shoe who chanc ed to be at Mrs Misenheimer's and fortunate for her that he was there just at that time. Mrs Misenheimer, hearing the conversation between Mr. - Shoe and the brute, became very much ; excited and reasonably so, too. She made, hasty preparations to come here W inform her father, Mr H C McAl lister, which she did, but while she ; and Mr Shoe were getting the horse and buggy ready the negro made his ; exit, goirg toward the Concord road. Leaving tne cniidren in care or Mr ' Shoe, who saw that they were safely conducted to a near neighbors, Mrs Misenheimer drove through fields and across ditches in order to teach the main travel road without the possibil ; ity of meeting the negro. She met ,. gentleman who gave her a revolver . should occasion make it necessary for her to have one before she arrived ' here.' As soon as her people were in formed, Messrs G F arid J B McAl lister went to Mrs Misenheimer's bu ' the negro could not be found. Many , think that he is yet in biding about the place. Though the identity of the. fellow, is not positively known yet . it is pretty well settled on good grounds that he is none other than the notori . out negro, tWill Johnston, who has been a source of trouble heretofore, and it is thought that he is one of the band of -theives operating in that sec lion, wnne no excitement exists whatever, and the matter is being ; talked in a very modest way, yet it is perfectly safe to say that if the fellow ; is caught about those premises, he "I will be given a free pass to another climate on a remarkably fast schedule No arrests have been made as yet. ' We regret to note that Mr Frank ," Lowder is right seriously sick with appendicitis, and will probably be : taken to the sanitarium in Salisbury . tonight, He was unwell Sunday night and' yesterday, but indications were V that be would be better today. At a consultation of bis physician at noon ..: today, his case was diagnosed as ap pendicitis, and recommended that he ' be taken to the sanitarium at once. - His friends wish him a speedy recov- -, cry.'.. -' ' -. . ' , 'r J4er.ro Who Caused Considerable Excile . nant was Will Johnstoa. v Mi; Pleasant, July 25 It is now definitely known that the negro whose presence at M rs M iser.heimer's yes- ; tsrday was the cause of considerable excitement was Will Johnston, The night previous he with one of his com panions made a very noisy demonstra tion at Mr Martin Misenheimer's, hut , not caring to have any trouble Mr Misenheimer retired and left them to do their act alone. About two o'clock the tame night they called at Mr I Adam Rice's, a tenant on Mra Misen -heimer's place, and asked for tobacco to make a cigarette, which one of Mr Rice's tons gaveNfhe negroes' in order to avoid trouble. One report has it that the negroes would not leave until Mr Rice got bis shotgun. Yesterday morning after Mr Rice and hit sons had gone about their work, -with no , one at home except Mra Rice, a fact which .it seems Johnston knew, v he . walked picket by Mm Rice's for tome time making threats and cursing. He .. went from here to Mra Misenheimer's, where it appeart hit object was-to find a third member of his gang, a woman who he thought was washing for Mra Misenheimer. 1'hose who saw him during this time say he was drunk; but drunk or sober, he is a dan gerous fellow to have in any commun ity. Killed by Mail Carrier. Asheville, July 24 News was re ceived here today of the killing of Hiram Wilson on Shelton Laurel, in Madison county, Friday afternoon, by Fred Sjms, a rural mail carrier, some 20 years of age. Particulars of the killing are lacking. It is said, howev er, that Wilson made Sams climb down from his wagon, and that the mail carrier suddenly turned on the desperado and killed him. Wilson was considered the most desperate man in western North Caro lina. He was a blockader and mur derer. He killed his brother, State Senator Seeb Wilson, at Burnsville, Yancey county, four years ago, and was acquitted. About 20 years ago he was tried for blockading before Judge Long, found guilty and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Judge Long had the man shackled and handcuffed in the court room and sent to Ralr gh with a guard of 15 men. He wjs pardoned after a year's -servitude. Some 12 years ago Hiram Wilson killed Young Honeycutt, in Yancy county, in cold blood. There were four trra's and he was finally acquitted. Killing Not Confirmed. Asheville, July 24 There is a ru mor here tonight that the story that Hiram Wilson, of Yancy county had been killed is incorrecr. It is impos sible to verify the rumor that he is still alive or the story that he had been killed. The story brought here of the killing has been generally circulated and it came from several sources, but owing to the distance from the alleged scene and the absence of telephone communication, it is impossible to ve; ify the story.
