The Weekly Advertiser September 6, 1876
The Randolph County News says that on Friday night, 18th instant near Roanoke. 
United States Deputy Marshal Williford shot at a young man named Dabney four 
times. The boy and his father were indicted several years ago for illicit 
distilling. The father was tried and acquitted. The boy was not tried, but 
supposed as his father was acquitted that nothing more would be done, the charge 
against him being that he had assisted his father. When the Marshal and his posse 
went to arrest him on Friday night the boy succeeded in eluding his grasp. 
Williford fired four shots, without effect. The same old tale an important 
election is approaching and something must be done, or Radicalism is at an end.
