According to information received by The News at an early hour this morning, one Boney Harrell, white man, was run down by a Ford touring car driven by one of four unknown negroes, occupants, and instantly killed.
The tragedy occurred on Highway No. 40, two miles from Wilmington.
The details of the affair were meagre, but it was stated by the informant that the driver of the car was heard by a white man to say, “Take the car—I’m gone,” and “sold out” for parts unknown.
Police of nearby towns have been notified to be on the lookout for the negro and an arrest is expected soon.
