wounded man died Wednesday morning.
From all that can be learned ft seems
that John Fulton and Freeman Partee,
while playing cards last Thursday, be
came involved In a difficulty, which was
soon settled amicably, and they separa
ted with apparent good-will towards
each' other. But a woman, who has con
trol over Partee, and who probably had
some private spite against Fulton, per
suaded the former that ho had not
been treated fairly and that he
should take revenge. Partee foolishly
allowing himself to he influenced by
the designing woman, went to Fulton’s
house about S o’clock In the evening,
and calling him to bis door, shot him,
The pistol used was a .i8-callhro and in
flicted a a terrible wound. Fulton lin
gered until yesterday morning and then
died from the effects of his hurt.
Partee was arrested immediately after
the shooting and lodged In jail in this
city, where lie now awaits tbe action gf
tbe grand jury in his case.
The coroner’s jury, after an inquest
held over the body yesterday afternoon,
returned a verdict of “willful murder.”

o’clock this morning od the Burlington

ognisable mass.
Near her were a man anil woman, both
dead under the sleeper. The train con
sisted of three sleepers, two ehair cars,
one smoker, one baggago, one express
and two mail cars.
Tbe sleepers were heavily loaded, as
also the chair cars. The train was
speeding along at forty-five miles an
hour when it struck an open switch.

yards, when it turned over on tbe side,
burying Engineer Emmerson, and a trav
eling englncr of the road beneath it

touching tho fire-box.
There was a deep wound in the head
and his body was terribly crushed.
After the engine left the track the bag
gage and cars behind It also were hurled
from the rail.
Must of the passengers In the sleepers
lud retired, and the first Intimation
they had of the danger was when tbe
coaches crashed against each other.
Men, women and children were hurled
from their berths.
The lights went out, leaving the cars
in total darkness.
A terrible panic ensued, anil the
women screamed frantically for assist
ance.
It is said none of the pnssongers in
the sleepers were killed, but many aie
severely injured.
