THE SAD DEATH OF WALLER BYNUM. On last Friday, about 4 o’clock, near Pine Mountain, Waller By num, aged 18 years, was killed while being dragged nearly two miles by a mule. Young Bynum, divested of near ly every piecec of his clothing by the long distance ho was dragged over rocks and the haid road, was found hanging by his left foot, to an iron stirrup, dead. The young man was going to school to Miss Thornton, who has charge of the school at Mount, Pleasant, bout two miles from the homo of the Bynum family. On the morn ing of the fatal aCcidont lie took two mules from home for the pur. pose of going to the Glado school house where his sister, Miss Gene- la, has been teaching. After school he stared for his sister riding one mule and leading the other and when about a mile from the Mt. Pleasant school in some way the saddle became turned on one of the mules—tin's is ( resumed from the fact at this point the print of his head was seen in the sand along the road for 80 or 40 yards and then for some little distance no sign was seen. This shows that he was making an effort to regain his. position on the mule, but the remaining distance showed that his body was constantly on the ground for nearly the distance of ,fwo Jmiles. From all signs the mule was going with all the speed that was in his power. Not far from the place where ho had had a scuffle with the mules his hat was found and along the entire distance blood and small pieces of his clothing were found in the road and the print of the body and blood along presents a sad scene. His collar bone was broKen und the skin and flesh was torn from the back of his head to the skull, and otherwise bruised and flesh torn. The peculiar circumstance un der which young Bynum lost his life matte it a very sad one. The interment took place at iug Bottom cemetery at 4 o’clock nturdaY, in the presence of a grief stricken family apd a sorrowing community. The family have the sympathy of ^be entire eouptY.
