        Fatal Accident.
        ---------------
        On Monday last, at about 9 A.M., Gabriel Waggoner, of Weare, was
     fatally injured while engaged in felling trees.  The tree on which he
     was cutting fell on a smaller one and bent it over.  He carelessly
     struck it with his axe, when it flew back and hit him with great force
     in the abdomen.  He was taken to the house of D. H. Weaver, where he
     remained until his death, which occurred on Tuesday night, at about 11
     o'clock.
        Mr. Waggoner was a mulatto, and had resided in this county but a
     comparatively short time.  It is reported that he owns some property
     in both Iowa and Wisconsin, but nothing definite in this respect is
     yet known.  He is said to have relatives living near Nashville, Tenn.
