Hinder Probtbly Fa tally Shot Tom Dunn WHISKEY THE CAUdE Toe Negro Drew and '"napped a Pistol at Mr. Hnnier, Whereupon He Shot the cgro Hone la f-elf Dtfcnce. A shooting occurred near Forestville, the news of which Just reached Raleigh today. The trouble was between a ne gro and a white man. The negro will probably die as a result of the wound In the breast. Lust Monday J. T. Hunter, white, and Tom Dunn, colored, were in Raleigh. Late in the afternoon they went to Millbrook where the fusiun candidates were speaking. They had both been drinking. About night they went across Neuse river In the neighborhood of Rolesville trying to find some bran dy. On their way buck to the Forest ville and Neuse river road the diflicuity occurred In front of the home of Mr. John W. Jones. It was shortly after midnight when Mr. Jones heard a pis tol fire in the road at his front gate. He got up, hailed several times an 1 went to the scene where he found that Hunter had shot Dunn, the ball enter ing the lower part of the breast and coming out at the back. Hunter surrendered himself to Mr. Jones and the negro was carried to one of the out houses on the plantation. Hunter has since been carried be fore Justice of the Peace Marlon Pure foy at Wake Forest and given a pre liminary hearing. Upon the testimony of Dunn's wife's sister, who was in the wagon with Hunter and Dunn, Hunter was released. She swore that Dunn and Hunter got in a quarrel when Dunn jumped from the wagon and snapped his pistol at Hunter, whereupon the latter shot him. Justice Purefoy de cided that the shooting was justifiable and released Hunter. Tom Dunn Is the negro who shot and killed Will Kelly, colored, at Forest ville about a year ago, was cleared of the charge of murder and simply pun ished for carrying a concealed weapon. He worked for Hunter and the latter stood his bond, paid the cost in the case and employed an attorney. Dunn and Hunter were frequently together. Dunn's wound is very serious and may prove fatal, but Dr. Thompson has not despaired of his recovery. PATES FOR THK FAIR Col. Caniproi.. Spcnrps Ad vantageous Railr'nd Paes In a letter from Washington to Col. Cun'ngham, Col. B. Cameron states in regard to rates for the State Fair: "I saw that Mr. Turk was here, ac cordingly I came and had a chat with him. He was very p'easant. While h said he could not give one cent, yet he gave the scale rate that he gave me I was President which is a fraction of 10 percent of one lone cent In addi tion to one cent. In other words, say take a point 100 miles away and the rate will be $2 and a fraction for the round trip. You will see then this Is very slightly in excess of one cent, then he adds 50 cents for your i dmission fee and he proposes to pay you for every ticket sold, instead of for the coupons redeemed. He gives county fairs only m e rote for the round trip, so he makes this difference in your favor. However, the scale rates is on'y for Wednesday ind Thursday and the one rate for the return trip of trains the other days. He has charged the government of the United States 2 rents for every soldier transported. Hence he says he has given you better rates than to any one else, excepting Columbia, S. C, State Fair, and that this rate is lower than iny rate a Maryland or Pennsylvania, which, of course, includes the Pennsyl vania Railroad system and the Balti more and Ohio system." TO NOMINATE.

ATTEMPT TO NinePi isomers B'oke nt of ifV Cells Last iNUM TWO FILES AND A SAW USED Jailer King frustrated the ri oner' tscapc bf tppvaring on the Attrant Came Very Near lU-ing Successful. Raleiirh narrowly escaped having a wholesale jail delivery last night. Nine prisi . eis filed their ay out of the cells and wie work'ng to get out of the building when when they were discov ered by the jailer. This nmrning when J'liler King, wh bleeps in the front room arose about Tr.nO, he heard a noise and went into the jail proper (for his roam is really a pan of the j iil) to investigate. Imagine his astonishment on finding the prisoners who were confined in the lower tier of ce'ls out of their gallery and walking about the jail. They had succeeded In getting out f the steel cage which enclosed the three lower cells and the only thing which prevented them from escaping from the jail was lack of time. If they had on'y hud two hours more nine prison rs would have been at large. THEIR NAMES. The prisoners confined in the com partment broken out of, and which con lair.s two ceils, wen! Jim Booker, oon victed of murder sentenced to be hang pd; Job Taylor, Chas. Glover and G. AV Mexander, United States prisoners for celling liquor in violation of the revenue laws: C. H.

All of thes; are colored. Jim Booker, the condemned murderer, -ertcinly had nothing to do with the at tempt to escape. He is so broken and wasted by confinement and overwhelm ed by the awufl fate which awaits him that it is doubtful if he will live to be executed. If he had got out of the jail he was too weak to have escaped. He is a pitiful object. Although he bru tally murdered a woman yet his ema ciated form and dejected countenance arouses sympathy in the most unsym pathetic. HCT,' THEY WORKED. These negroes had a hand saw file, a mill saw file and a handsaw. These tools appeared to be new. The saw was certainly new. It was exactly what was needed for this work. At nicht the prisoners are never locked in their cells but are allowed the freedom of the ste-d cage enclosing the cells. There are now nine negroes occupying the lower three ceils. AVith tl-ee well selected tools they did not find their work difficult. AVith the hand saw they soon sawrl in two thesteel bar by means of which the eel's are looked and unlocked from the outs'de. Their only purpose in siwirp this bar in two wi s to secure a p'e"e i f steel to use a a rrow-har. In order to get this bar a simi'ar steel bar runn'ng from the up .,- i,-,r mi l Nr-k'nsr Ihr last cell dour was cut.

They would have bi n suc cessful here had not day interrupted their labors. One of the round ste! rods in th" window was neaily severed and the ad Ininir.g rod was bent out of position. There Is no question about the fact that the fi'es and f:iiv were conveyed to the prisoners b.v some visitor. The "a'lers have bepn very frequent at the jail of late. The sherif, however, has given Ftrlct instructions as to the fu ture. Today he told Jailer King not to . ,. , , ... admit any one into the jail, attorney. newspaper man or any one else, with- out a written order from him or from Deputy Rivers. - RECEPTION TONIGHT.
