BIG STORM PREDICTED.
Excitement at East Bend Over the
Death of Mrs. Broach.
Correspondenco of Tho Sentinel.l

Correspondence of The Sentinel.l
SHORE, March 20-A big storm just ahead
is the prediction of our weather prophet. He
says we may look out for it about the last of
March or first of April. Right here we recall
a remarkable incident where wonderful in
tuitive powers We're exhibited by a Kerners-
vile lady in the wake of a direful cyclone
that swept through that section last sum-
mer. 1t was the experience of Miss Daisy
Leak, who informed the writer of her own
peculiar story. She said soon after supper
on that eyentful evening she was conscious
OF dreadful sensation implying impending
danger. So enthused was she with fear and
exciting expectancy that she remained up
Late at night and warned her parents of ap-
preaching trouble in the shape Of disiis-
trous storm. She was finally prevailed upon
to retire but with reluctancy and ygilant
wakefulness About mid night she felt hat
the crisis was at hand and Immediately
arose and sped quickly down stairs to her
parents apartment and told them that
terrible cyclone was coming and sure
enough in three minutes the town was be-
sleged by most terrific cyclone causing
great CONSERVATION and destruction. Was
this intuition?
There is great excitement in East Bend
over the death of Mrs. Broach. East Bend
was her former home and where her parents
now reside. He husband is accused of the
crime and has been remanded to jail
Lynchlng has been talked of but her father
desires Broach should have a fair and i'm
partial trial. A subscription has been made
up to pay the way of Mr. and Mrs Broach to
Dobson court which is in session this week
Revenues seized the distillery of II. F.
Shore on Saturday which was not in opera
ton and had not been for over a year. Our
people are indignant over the situation.
They are also displeased that the deputy's
place is given to Davie man. There is no
end to inconsistencies and unjustices in the
revenue service.
Mrs. w. w. Hampton, of Mt. Airy, accom-
panied by her two bright boys, is spending
a few days in the valley.
A big game of baseball by the East Bend
and Mana teams will be INDUCED in at our
Easter picnic. We are expecting a large
crowd and a gay time Let all remember
the place and time-at Speas' ferry on Easter
Monday.
Hon. Tyre Glenn was in town TODAY
ANY office holder that will not reply to

lt is Also True In Winston.

The beautiful weather has brought
out the baby carriage brigade In fall
force. Almost every afternoon crowds
of nurses, two and frequently three
abreast, march down Main street push
ing perambulators and take up the
entire sidewalk. Pedestrians have to
or be run over. The nurses are usual
ly engaged in talking TO each other, or
more frequently to their beaux, and
walk along, pushing the carriages,
never noticing where they are going
or what Is In front. This thing has
been quite a nuisance in Durham for
some time and should not be allowed,
especially on the most prominent
streets where there is so much passing.
They ought to be made to go in single
file on these streets.

immaculate Conception in Oakland
was the scene Sunday morning of a
murder and suicide. Mrs. Mary Bra
dy, who recently secured divorce
from John Brady, a house painter,
was shot by her husband as she was
telling her beads as the altar rail, and
the murderer then blew out his own
brains. Mrs. Brady was an industri-
Gus woman who found life too hard
with her dissipated husband. He
could not find regular work because
of his cranky disposition She had
six children, and She finally decided
to get divorce, as Brady abused her
when drunk.
Since her divorce Brady has fre
quently threatened to take her life,
but she paid no attention to him.
Sunday she attended morning mass,
kneeling by the altar rail- She re-
manned behind repeating a prayer
when most of the congregation was
going out. Suddenly Brady came up
behind her, pulled II pistol, placed it
directly against the back of her neck.
and fired. The poor woman fell dead
upon tho floor. a moment after Bra
dy put the weapon to his own head
and blew out his brains. Several wo-
men tainted, others screamed and
rushed from the edffce.

Three Sites for the winston Postofice.

Postmaster Wilson emphatically
refuses to tell llnwhether the Winston
postoffice will be moved or not. His
reason for not giving out the informa-
tion just at this time is that he
doesn't know himself. He contends,
however, that Winston will continue
to have an affice, and that unless some
unforeseen circumstance comes up he
will be the postmaster and Maj.
Smith assistant during the next four
years.
The present quarters, the Hanes
and Crawford store buildings, are the.
three sites under consideraticn-and
one Of these places will be chosen.
Inspector Conrad, who was here Mon
day, said that he would send to the
department the claims of the three
sites. 1t is presumed that he made
recommendation but what they are
he failed TO reveal to the postmaster
or anybody else. The matter will
probably be decided within. thes next
week or ten days.

THOS. NOEL TRIED
For Attempting to Break Jatl-Bound
Over to Court.

Over TO Court.
Thos. Noel, colored, was tried be-
fore Esquire Beckerdite Tuesday af-
ternoon for attempting to break jail.
Noel was committed to jail recently
for 20 days, by Judge Whitaker, for
an assault with deadly weapon, and
his time would have expired Tuesday.
The evidence showed that there
were several prisoners implicated in
the attempt, among them Alex Rose,
the Ashe county prisoner.
1t seems that they secured a case
knife which they converted into a
rude saw with which they sawed from
time to time on the prison window bars
When discovered, they had cut two
bars and were making good progress
upon third.
Noel says that he had not sawed
any for several days because he heard
that his time would soon @expire.
Mr.. Rose was carried over to the
courthouse to appear as a witness.
He testified that no work had been
done with the saw for several days.
Esquire Beckerdite bound Noel over
in $50 bond for his appearance at
the next term of the Superior court.
Noel did not secure bondsman and
was committed to jail to await trial
before Judge Whitaker.

IRON ORES IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Report of tho Geological Survey
Where Ore is Found.

The report of the Geological Survey
on the iron. ores of North Carolina is
now ready for distribution. 1t is
neatly printed and fully illustrated
publ cation OF 239 pages, prepared in
the main by Assistant GeOioglst LII. Z.
B. Mite. 1t contains the results of
the examination of all the more i'm
portant iron ore deposits known to oc-
cur in the State. The total ores ex-
amined amount to 5000 square miles,
distributed through twenty-three
countieS in the central and western
portions of the State.
The ore deposits receiving most
attention are the following: First,
the magnetic and speculator ores of
Granville county; second, tue brown
hematites of Ore Hill, III Chatham;
third. the magnetic ore OF Stokes,
Surry and Yadkin counties: fourth,
the magnetic and brown hematite
ores of Catawba, Lincoln and CASTOR
counties: fifth, magnetic ores of
Ashe, Mitchell and Madison counties;
sixth, brown hematite ores of western
Madison and Cherokee counties. EX-
tensive deposits of iron ore are de-
scribed in each Of these and in other
less axtcntiye areas.
Concerning the general development
of our mineral properties the report
people were engrossed not SO much
with the manufacture Of pig iron
when they could get it elsewhere, as
with the cultivation of cotton, tobac-
co, etc, to which both soil and labor
were naturally adapted. After the
war period Of reconstruction set in;
today the country is again on firm
basis and the people are looking to
the development of their mineral and
manufacturing resources"
The report is said by competent
critics to be one Of great value, and
one which reflects credit on the sur
voy and on the State. 1t is accoinpa-
MED by al excellent map which shows
the location OF all the important iron
ore beds Of the State. Persons desir-
ing copies Of the report can obtain
