  "News has just come over the telephone from Lincolnton, that Mr. Miller Lang has been shot by a negro named Wilson Davie, and is very seriously wounded.
  "Mr. Lang and Mr. John Murray had a warrant for the negro charging him with disposing of mortgaged property, and were out looking for him. They met the negro on the road and arrested him. But he was driving a hog home and asked to be allowed to go on. The request was granted and Messrs. Lang and Murray went on with him. When the negro arrived at his house, he rushed in and got his pistol. Mr. Lang followed him, when the negro turned and shot him, the ball entering the upper part of the chest. Lang fired at the negro, but it is not known whether he struck him or not. When Murray came in he found Lang lying on the floor and the negro standing over him with a pistol in his hand. The negro snapped his pistol at Murray and ran off. He escaped, but parties are out searching for him."
