That truth is stranger than fiction is
demonstrated concusively by an Enoch
Arden case with variations that has de-
veloped in Asheville, with the scenes laid
in Yancey and Burcombe counties
The story with which this article has
to do begins about four years ago. in
Yancev county. where lived Amos Nj.
NJ. Austin, his wife, Annie Austin, and
their six chill 1ren. One day, the day on
which this story begins. Austin and
neighbor, Henry Ledford, became in
volved in row, and Austin killed him
The man with the mark OF Cain upon his
brow was arrested, and shortly thercaf-
ter was brought to Ashevilc ana CON
fined in Jail for safe keeping He re-
mained here for nearly year, a awaiting
the ofttimes slow processes OF the courts.
The wife. in order to be near her nus
band came to Asheville with the chill
dren, and have since made their nome
here several of the little ones having been
given homes with families in the city.
Austin was tried, convicted OF man
slaughter and sentenced to Il term IN the
penitentiary at Raleigh. After he had
served a part of his term his letters to

was thrown mot state bordering on
frenzy by the receipt of a letter from
husband No. 1, whom she had believed

was laid before the 1atter-dav husband
and to him Mrs. Morgan, cor Austin

FIFTY M EN-
Bolts and BaTS-PaatOn Avenue
Next thing, Cars.

A half hundred men, employed by the
Ashevillc Street Railway company.
arose carly this morning. and with the
necessary tools went to work tearing up
the paving on Patton avenue and relay
ing the track, which has been off the
avenue since last summer, when the city
authorities did their locally famous
night work.
Between the square and Haywood
street the work was easy. as not hing but
the rails were removed by the city. leav-
ing the ties and chairs intact. and only
n portion of the paving and some OF the
ties were removed After the workmen
passed Haywood street, however, the
work was more tedious. as the pavement
had to be torn up to a width consider
ably more than that required 10y the
track in order to give room for the
placing of the ties The work progressed
rapidly. There was no cessation OF the
traffic, and wagons, loaded heavily,
ment at will. grinding off the exposed
ends of the bricks 1t seemed nobody s
business to close the avenue to these
wagons.
Oae thing was very apparent in the
paving west of Haywood street, and
that was that very little tar had been
used on the bricks when the pavement
| was laid, the workmen being able. in
many inst tauces. to Eft the single bricks
with their hands
Receiver Maddux told THE CITIZEN

]. NJ. Gudger, jr., who has just returned
from a trip to Madison county. tells
THE CITIZEN that there is great deal OF
a portion of that county to BunCombe,
as contemplated by a bill introduced in
the House of Representatives at Raleigh.
The reason this opposition has not been
manifest ere this is. that the county has
had no notice of the proposed change,
and heard of it for the first time only a
few days ago. MIR. Gudger says peIi-
tions are being circulated, and generally
signed, against the annexation, and that
the Madisoniaus declare their intention
of fighting the proposition to the end in
the Legislature, and, if necessary. in the
courts.
