and his companion, General Sol Bibo, had
just finished inscribing their names upon
the famous rock. Turning around, they
were confronted by four masked men,
who were afterward found to be stage
robbers from Utah. AS soon as the rob-
bers found that the two gringos had no
money or whisky with them they rode
off.
Governor Bibo fumbled in his pockets
for a scrap of paper to write a telegram
TO be sent to the Sheriff at the nearest
telegraph office. Neither of the men hav-
ing any about them, the Governor took
out his pocket handkerchief and wrote the
telegram out on 1t and sent 1t hurriedly

tho case of the notorious desperate and
stage robber so well remembered by Cali
fornians-"Black Bart"
One of the cleverest pieces of detective
work ever accomplished in this State was
done in this case by j. 3. Hume, speclal
officer for Wells-Fargo.
When news reached his office on No
vember 8, 1885, that stage had peen
held I'D and robbed near TuttIeVlHe 'slu
that a handkerchief and some other arti-
cles had been found behind some elills
near the place of attack, Mr.. Hume i'm
rnediate1v photographed to have the things
sent down to him.
He carefully inspected the handkerchief
a plain hemstitched mans handkerchief
and noticed laundry mark in one cor
ner. Fx07. Upon this evidence, a hand-
kerchief with that fatal laundry mark
was Black Bart arrested
Mr. Hume set to work to find out where
the handkerchief had been laundered, and
after several days of careful inquiry and
diligent search it was traced to laundry
down on Bush street, kept by man
named Ware This laundry office was
also a sort of lounging room, with to-
bacco stand on one side, and here Black
Bart-known there as Charlie boiton'
mining man and capitalist-spent great
deal of his time.
when the handkerchief was brought to
Ware and he was asked to whom 1t be-
longed he said: why, that is Charlie
Bottoms handkerchief. He brought his
laundry here just before he returned to
the mines a short time ago."
That settled it. Detective Hume sent
instructions for the arrest of Black Bart.
Black Bart, who after years of depreda-
tons, during which time he had robbed
twenty-eight stages and had kept the
stage drivers in continual fear of their
lives. this clever felon was at last trapped
by a handkerchief. The shrewd criminal,
who had held the Sheriff as well as the
Wells-Fargo detectives at bay for so long,
did not see that there was enough differ
ence between one handkerchief and an
other to disclose mans identity and con-
Wet him of crime. But then Black Bart
lived before the days of Cordelia Botkin.

A NEW COTTON FACTORY
A 100000 MILL TO BE ERECTED AT
FAYETTEVILLE.
There is Little Doubt Now that Fayetteville is
to Become Great Manufac-
turing Centre.

When Capt. John b. Broadfoot, of
Fayetteville, was i'll Raleigh the early
part of the week to attend a meeting
of the directors of the Raleigh Hospital,
he told a member of the News and OBJ
server staff that in addition to the new
silk factory, which is to be larger than
is generally supposed, there were other
large enterprises on foot that would
add greatly TO Fayetteville's position as
manufacturing ctntre.
1.-The future of Fayetteville is assur-
ed" said Broadfo0t. I'm the days when
natural advantages were necessary TO
make a great town, Fayetteville's trade
was second to no town in the State. The
war and the troubles that followed de-
stroyed much of Fayetteville's prosperity,
but in recent years outside capital join
ed to home capital and general push
and faith in Fayetteville have given our
place such an impetus that we now feel
certain that Fayetteville within very
few years will be more prosperous than
ever in the pristine days preceding the
war;
Mr. Broadfeot thought it premature
to give the facts about the new enterprise
until the plans should be perfected. Since
he was in Raleigh they have been per-
fected, as the following announcement
in yesterdays Fayetteville Observer
shows:
This morning. Messrs. John X. Tolar.
j. I'll. Hart and Walter L. Holt, pur-
chased what is known as 1.-THE McIn-
tyre property" consisting of 1913 acres,
situated east of and adjoining the. Holt
Morgan cotton mill lands on which
they will proceed at once to erect q
100000 cotton mill running 10000
spindles and intended for the manufac-
ture of soft yarn.
'l'he building will be erected about two
or three hundred yards from the Holt
Morgan mill and will, of course, be
equipped with the very latest machinery
and appliances, as the other Holt mills
i'll this city are.
"Messrs Tolar and Hart have been
htre for several weeks prospecting, and
have been delayed until now by nego-
tiations with the A. &. l.. for a side
track and some other minor matters.
These were completed this morning, and
the rest of the matter was tat once con-
cIlided. as above stated. The land was
purchased from Mr.. NJ. Mel. Matthews,
the present owner.
This is a big thing for Fayetteville,
as it seems to assure the future of Fay
etteyille as a great manufacturing ecu
ire. So far, therefore, this season, we
have the building Of two great factories
in hand. this new cotton mill and Ashe,
ley and Bailey's silk mill. Messrs.
1olar and Hart. by the way, are as Cd
thusiastic over Fayetteville and its pnu-
suaI advantages as Messrs. Asheley and
Bailey. Mr. Tolar is one Of our Fay
etteville boys, who has grown rich out
in the great world. Mr.. Hart is from
our ncighboring State of South Caro-
lima, and has had the same experience
as Mr.. Tolar.
Fayetteville is delighted to welcome
these excellent Gentlemen-and none the
! less heartily because Mr.. Tolar is an en-
thusiastic Bryan man."
