TWO COLOREO MEN AND ONE WOMAN AR
RESTED FOR THE DURHAM ROBBERY
News That The Small Pox is Prevalent in
Some Parts of South Carolina
Personals.

Durham, n. c., Jan. 12.-(Special) y
In Morrisyille yesterday four negro boys
were arrested, believed to be the parties
who robbed the stores. Later two
more were arrested in Carey. A prelim-
mary hearing was had this morning, and
Garfield Chavis, Eta Walber and Hugh
Robinson, were held to await the action
of the superior court. The other three
were discharged, as there was no evil
evidence to connect them with the
crimes. Mr.. o. T.. Beasey, constable
of Cidar Ford township, and Mr.. S. r.
Green, saw the boys going down the
road and having heard of the whole
sale robbery here, followed them on to
Morrisville and made the arrests.
These gentlemen deserve the thanks
of the people of the county for their
efforts in making these arrests. Up to
this writing no more of the plumber has
been found, but there is plenty of it hid
away somewhere.
Mr.. II. w. Morris is here from Frank
linton on business, and to visit relatives.
Mr.. w. r. Murray was here today
and tells me that there are many cases
of smallpox in South Carolina. He has
just returned from Greenville, S. c.,
and says there are a number of cases
of that dreaded disease there, as well as
in Spartanburg. He was vaccinated a
few days ago, and is suffering much
from if.

A Statement Made. BY The Dying Boy And

Washington, n. c., Jan. 12.-(Special)
Our city was all in an uproar yester-
day afternoon about dusk when the sad
news began to circulate that Charlie
Rue, the 1S-year-old son Of Mr.. John
and Sarah Rue had been shot with a gun
in the hands of Benz. Q. Fortecque, son
OF B. f. Fortescue. They were return
ing home on the road leading to the
cemetery from a hunting trip. They
were playing at the time when the load
from the gun entered the body of Rue
After the accident Rue talked and told
several it was accidentally done. The
unfortunate young man died last night
between and s o'clock, and was taken
to his home ON Water street, where only
few hours previously he had left the
picture of health, smiling, telling mother
he would soon return. The funeral took
place this afternoon from the residence
conducted by the Rev. n. Harding. The
coroners' jury late this afternoon re-
turned a verdict that Rue came to his
death by a gun in the hands of For
tesque, but accidentally.
FORTESCE'S STATEMENT.
Tommy Fortesces makes the follow
ing statement:
Charlie Rue and | went hunting, we
had used all the shells but one. We
started home on Cemetery road; on our
way began frolicking, striking each
other with sticks, pointing the gun at
each other. Rue pointed the gun at

the gun was cooked; he then took her
from his face and let the hammer down.

gun at tree and told Rue to come
in (Rue and / were playing parts in a
charade). Rue knocked on the fence

backwards and laughed. | commenced
waving the gun at Rue. Rue stopped. l
then punched the gun at him; l did so
the second time. Rue turned his back
to me, and commenced laughing and
started to run. | punched the gun at
him the third time, when the hammer
caught in my coat and the gun went
off; carrying the whole load of No. 10

steps from me) and he fell. This took
place between the two tobacco ware
houses near the Eason place, about
sunset. When Rue fell / ran to him
and asked him where he was shot, in

A Oueenly Niilkmaid.

The Queen of the Belgians and Prin.
cess Clementine, while driving in q
pony-cart one day last summer, had n
charming rural adventure, which the
London Post describes:
They stopped at a farmhouse to buy
a glass of milk. Nobody but an old
paralyzed woman was In the house,
and she replied that no milk was left
in the jugs. and that she was unable
to go to milk n COW.
Never mind" said the queen; 'if
you will allow me, will go to the pas
ture. Just tell me where the jugs are"
But, my dear lady, you are from
the town, and you will never be able to
milk a cow" objected the old woman.
She was mistaken, however, for .
little later her majesty returned with a
half filed jug. Meantime, Princess
Clementine had laid on the table three
bowls, a loaf and the needful knives
and plates. The old farmers wife was
served by the princess, who, 1t appears,
greatly enjoyed the adventure
