Wilmington, N.C., Jan. 18 (AP)—Dock Ward, notorious bad man and alleged distiller, who was finally wounded in a fight with Victor Spivey, Columbus County rural policeman, following his arrest last Friday on a charge of manufacturing liquor, died in a local hospital at 3:30 o’clock this morning. The body will be turned back to his family for burial.
Although no hope was maintained for Ward’s recovery from the first, physicians expressed the opinion that he would live but a few hours. The man hung on to life tenaciously.
