Charlotte, N.C. – Jan. 5 – Miss Mary Martin was shot and almost instantly 
killed at a dance near Mayoden, Rockingham county, by John Gans. Miss Martin 
was the belle of the country district, and Gans was deeply enamored. He asked 
the young woman to a dance, and upon her refusal shot her in the breast. 
Threats of lynching were so freely made that Gans was taken to the Guilford 
county jail for safe keeping.
