Cattle Xnlef Csscbh Deputy Sheriff Morrill, of Bruns wick county, came to this city yesterday with a white man named John Young, charged with stealing cattle. and had him placed in jail here for safe-keeping. Young was arrested in Northwest township. It is alleged that he stole a yoke of oxen from Beniamin Locke, in Brunswick, and sold them to Mr. Ike King, of this city, for $20.

Two other men, charged with being accomplices of Young, have not yet been arrested. Obltaary Mr. J. J. Gay, a well-known citizen of Brunswick county, died yesterday at his home at Phoenix, at 3 o'clock p.

xn. He was aged about sixty of in J. terday morning about sunrise, at Capt. T. J.

Southerland's plantation' four miles east of the city, in which Mr. William Mills, manager of the iarm, was snot uiree nines auu e- i rlously wounded, by a German ploye named Alfred Soyke, who af terwards committed suicide by shoot- ing himself through, the heart. Three weeks ago a difficulty oo. curred between Mr. Mills and Soyke, about the latter neglecting to feed the stock on the farm.

Last Wednesday night another dispute took place be -tween them, in reference to the same matter, and Soyke, who boarded with Mr. Mills, retired to his room very angry, xesteraay morning ne got up and followed Mr. Mills to the barn, a short distance from the dwel ling, and told him that he wanted to settle his board bill and gave Mr. Mills three dollars, the amount due him. Immediately after paying Mr.

Mills, Soyke pulled out his pistol, a Colts revolver of 44 cal ibre, and began firing. Four or five shots were fired, three of them striking Mr. Mills one in the left thigh, one in the right arm and the third in the breast and left arm. Mrs. Mills got be tween her husband and Soyke, and one of the shots was fired over her shoulder.

After emptying his pistol, Soyke went to his room, reloaded the weapon, and shot himself through the heart. His dead body was found stretched across the bed, shortly afterwards. Coroner T. C. Miller held an inquest over the body of when the following testimony was elicited: Dr.

Thos. J. Burbank testified as to the nature of the wounds received by Mr. Mills, and the wound on Alfred Soyke's body. Mrs.

Maggie Mills testified: They were at the barn when I went out. Mr. Mills was standing on the steps; Alfred was in front of him. After I got to them I heard Alfred say, "You have been talking about me to the darkies." My husband said, "Hold on, Alfred; let me reason with you." Alfred said, "I don't want any reason; you did say it; you did say it," and gritted his teeth and began shooting. At the first shot Mr.

Mills ran into the barn. I ran up to him and said, "Mr. Alfred don't shoot my husband; he is all I have in the world." Alfred then pointed his pistol at me, but did not shoot. He then kept on firing at Mr. Mills, running from one side of the steps to the other.

Mr. Mills held an empty barrel between himself and Al fred. After emptying his pistol Al fred turned and went into the house. After he had gone Mr. Mills said, "Do let me get to bed." We came into the house, and Mr.

Mills had laid down about a minute when we heard a dull sound up-stairs, as if there had been a smothered shot, We sent for Mr. Her ring, who came, and we went up-stairs and found Alfred dead. Yesterday (Wednesday) evening Mr. Mills asked Alfred why he did not feed the horses. Alfred answered.

"I will whon I change my clothes. Mr, Mills said, "If you can't help me when I need you I have no use for you." Alfred said, "I know you don't need me." About three weeks ago Mr. Mills had occasion to speak to Alfred, and he has been ever since very sullen, scarcely Never heard of Alfred being drinking man; never saw the-pistol before. Mr. Wm.

H. Mills testified that he and Alfred had been getting along very nicely until about three weeks ago, when Mr. Mills put him on the market-Cart, and he did not want to drive it. He drove the cart until Sat, urday, and on Monday, while digging potatoes, Alfred said it looked as if his honesty had been doubted, and wanted to know who told what he had sold his load of truck for. He said that all he had was his name, and if any man tried to slander him or talked about him he would kill him if he hung the -next day for it.

Mr. Mills told him that he thought he had done well with his load. Afterwards, some words passed between them in reference to feeding stock. In reference to the shooting, Mr. Mills testified This morniner I cot un about 4 a.

"Yon did sav it. vou did say it:" ana said that had been to the niggers about his jerking the horses. I began to back into the barn, and he began to shoot.
