CLEvELAND-King's Mountain
Reformer, September %: Last week,
about the middle of the week, there
came to Mrs. E. S. Logan's, boy APP
parently about II years old. He
wanted work, he said, and as Mrs. Lo
gan was needing hand she hired him
for a short time. He said he was
from Tennessee. Sunday morning, as
is their usual custom, Mrs. Logan's
entire family went out to Bethlehem
TO Sunday school. The young fellow
claimed he was tired aud would not
20 along. Deputy Logan says this
rather aroused his suspicion but salts
flying himself with hiding his best pis.
tol off the mantle piece he went off
and left the fellow on the premises and
the house securely locked up. How
ever, when all were gone, he managed
to force the back door till the catch of
the lock slipped out of the fastening
and allowed The door to swing open.
He then entered and took clothing
from the different boys and an old
pistol that the deputy had, and was of
when they returned from school. They
tried to follow him up, but they could
get no exact trace of which way he
had gone and so he made good his
escape. They are not certain, but
think he went in the direction of York
vile. ........ Two we'll dressed gentle
men passed through town last Monday,
and when they reached Mr.. B. B.
Jones's, below town, they stopped and
introduced themselves as Mormon el-
ders and wanted dinner. After find
ing out this fact, Mr.. Jones told them
he was sorry to tell them but he just
could not entertain them. They
wanted to convince Mr.. Jones of his
error but he would not be convinced
and went about his work, leaving
them to travel on and hunt board and
lodging elsewhere. Mr.. Jones was al
first right much worried over the mat
ter; but it soon wore off and he is
himself again.

Enterprise, September "a: Our towns.
man, ex-Sheritf John P. Hunter, is
being talked of in different parts of the
state for superintendent of the peni.

him elected, as would his numerous
friends in the county and throughout
the state.
