A Strange Freak or A Maiden Lady
A strange story comeefrom \
Flat River in this county. 1t
is the matter OF Miss E. b.
'Teasley and the L. and D.
railroad.
The public will remember
that some years ago the
Lynchburg and Durham rail
road procured the privilege
OF running their track throu'
her land, or rather her mead
.ow. The commissioners a
warded her the sum OF $500.
Tnis was considered a very
liberal allowance. The com
pany paid the amount into
the omce Of the Su periOr
court Of this county. Miss
Teaslpy has persistently de-
clined to receive it.
Several years ago she adj
vertised the road for sale to
the highest bidder. The sale
was held but there were no
bidders, and she now lays
claim to the whole road.
Under the law, unclaimed
property remaining for a cel-
tain nunber of years shallbr
turned over to the State
University. The time has
nearly or about expired, the
sum OF $3.50 will he turned
over to the University. Miss
Teasley has been informed Of
the fact, but still she declines
to receivp.-Durham Sun.

and Property.
ST. LOUIS, May 0-Although several
days have passed since the tornado tore
its way through this city, there still ex-
lists about as much uncertainty as to the
actual number of people killed and the
amount of property damaged as on the
first morning after the disaster, Scores
of dead have been identified, but no one
is willing to venture a guess as to how
many. bodies may be il. the ruins of the
hundreds of buildings as yet unex-
plored. The total number of dead in
St Louis identified is 1862. and in East
St. Louis 102 In St Louis there are 81
bodies still unidentified. and in East st.
Louis 3. tits believed that the deaths
of the injured and the future recovery
of bodies will bring the St Louis
death list well up to 200.
Guessing at the Property Loss.
Many guesses are being made upon
the property loss, and they range from
$40, 600 900 to $4,000, 900. The most
popular estimate is in the neighborhood
of $25, 900, 900 for both cities. The con-
tractors of the city have been over
whelmed with orders for rebuilding,
and the work of wiping out the havoc
of the storm will be pushed with all
energy.
