-Will Gaines, the son of a prominent farmer living near here, was held up and robbed by an unknown negro. The young man was out on hid father's farm, and his first knowledge of the negro's presence was when he was halted an covered with a pistol. The negro was masked. After relieving young Gaines of his knife and watch the negro blindfolded him and led him to the bank of" the Chattahoochee river. Before the young man was aware of his whereabouts he was pushed off the bank into the river.
He was almost drowned before he could remove the bandage from his eyes and get out of the water. Searching parties have been out atl day, and two negroes are now under arrest! Both of them were relieved of gun3 by the posse, and they will be held pending further developments. EXPRESS PAID Thought to Be Murdered.

Here was also Young Lady Kills Lover and Self." Huntsville, Ala, H. A.

Lindgren and who has the reputation of being a bad character, waylaid tim in a spirit of revenge. This theory is supported in the report that this negro has disappeared. The general belief is, however, that robbery was the motive of the attack, as it is understood that Mr. Lindgren had a considerable sum of money about him. 56 anb 58 Main STREET.

He came to the front door, and she opened fire on him with a 32-calibre pistol, the first shot passing into his left breast at the nipple. He turned and ran through the hall, another shot being fired at him, and fell in the kitchen.
-The woman then shot herself and fell dead on the po'ch. Ballard has not been allowed to fcnike a statement yet, and nobody has been found who knows anything about the cause of the tragedy. The principals have been going together for some time, and it is presumed that it was the outcome of a lovers' quarrel. Miss Harding was an operative in the tuill of the Merrimack Company and was one of the belles of the village. She was about 21 years old, and came here a.
year ago from some town in Tennessee. Miss Harding came to Huntsville that morning, and it is supposed that she bought the pistol. She boarded a car in town and went straight to the young man's boarding house in Merri- RlECfc. Ballard died from the wound Inflicted by Miss Harding after being taken to the hospital. He was unconscious of the time.
The chief of police received a message from Bristol, signed by Mrs. J. 1. Cox, inquiring about the tragedy and saying Ballard is a nephew of Governor Cox, of Tennessee. SCO.
