Lumberton, Oct. 3—Sellers Skipper, white barber of Red Springs, Robeson county, who was found in a road in the outskirts of that town in an unconscious condition at 8 o’clock Sunday night, died this afternoon in a hospital in Fayetteville. A blow on the back of the head caused the death of Skipper. He died without regaining consciousness, it is said.
Ernest McPhaul, a young white man who lives in Hoke county, was arrested today on the charge of dealing the blow and was placed in jail here late this afternoon.
