English, a dog trainer, shot and
fatally wounded -Mr. John Armstrong,
when the tvo met at Arcbdale Mon-day.
English, who has kennels at Arch-dale,
ask?d for a few minutes pri-vate
conversation with Mr. Arnr
strong when that gentleman, in com-pany
wi "i several friends, drove
into Archdale in an ou.omobile that
afternoon. No one was aware of
any unpleasantness betwee.i the men
and there was no show cf anger on
■he part of cither.. It was a great
shock '.:» the bystanders then when
English whipped out a revolver and
opened fire upon his victim, whose at
tempi to dodge the bullets failed, the
load striking him in the small of his
beck, bis in .-stiiies being punctured
in -1A pla.es. An onlooked who at-tempted
to interfere was shot i;t
bu' escaped uninjured.
The injured man was lit'rik-d to
High Point, where medical assistance
was hurried'y summoned, and a v ry
delicate operation performed. Little
hope was held out by the physicians,
however, as it was evident from the
first that chances for his recovery
were very slim.
After the shooting Knglisli made
good his escape, and a large poss"
of High Point and Randolph county
officers, with blood hounds, went in

wounds.

English, was arrested and is held
!»/ the Randolph county authorities
for giving the posse a false clue in
order to aid the slayer iii evading
the officers.
The victim of this deplorable af-fair
was a native Englishman and a
fine, genial man who made many
friends i 1 this section of the state
during his residence as manager *or
Gould. He leaves a wife and five
children. A brother. Jack Armstrong,

English lives in Rockingham coun-ty
and is a professional dog trainer
and hunter. It is said he had pre-viously
disagreed with Mr. Arm-strong
about a hunting lease, but

to come of the affair. EngUsh

over his act and declares that It
wag the result of drink; that he
was drunk Monday and had no
clear recollection of what actually
occurred.
