Caught Near Kings Mountain.
Kings Mountain Reformer, Novem-
ber II: We learned that Dan Birds
store at Blacksburg was broken into
Monday night and several suits of
clothes, some underclothing and pair
of shoes stolen. The thief entered the
house by breaking open the front door,
as we learn. Early Tuesday morning
Chief Duncan got his bloodhounds
on trail of the fellow and trailed him
as far as Grover, where he had left his
valise and gone off. Mr.. Duncan and
his posse came on in the direction of
Kings Mountain and made a close
search for him, after obtaining the
services of our policeman, Mr.. Fergu-
son. Just below town they ran upon
the Negro, and after nice race with
the dogs he was caught on the Stowe
place. He gave his name as Joe Rob-
inson, of Richmond, and had on suit
of clothes from the store. He con-
fessed the whole matter and was taken
back to Blacksburg, where he will be
given a legal hearing. Though the
name is the same, this fellow should
not be confounded with Joe Robinson
of this place. He is an entirely diff
ferent man.
Death Of A. A. sarratt.
Gaffney Ledger, November II: Our
community was shocked early Monday
night by the announcement of the sud-
den death of Hon. A. A. Sarratt, of this
city, which occurred at 8 o'clock p. m.
while he was sitting in q chair around
the family hearthstone with his chill
dren. Mr.. Sarratt had been little
unwell for some weeks, but had con-
tinued to move about and look after
his large farming interest in the county.
But no one thought him seriously i'll,
hence the great shock when it was
learned that he had died. He died
from heart failure. Mr.. Sarratt was in
his 55th year. He was prominent in
the county as business man and had
held honorable official position. He
was twice elected to the house of rep
resentatives from Union county and
was for sometime a member of the
board of directors of the state peniten-
tiary and served with benefit to the
state and credit to himself in both
positions. He was a gallant soldier in
the Confederate army, being lieuten-
ant in the Holcomb Legion of this state,
which belonged to Evaus's Brigade.
Mr.. Sarratt was model husband, faith
or and neighbor, and had the confidence
of large circle of relatives and friends
who deeply feel their loss and sincerely
mourn it and sympathize with his be-
reaved children.
