and Man Burned up at Heath
Spring
A disastrous fire occurred in
the town Of Heath Spring last
Saturday night. The loss is
human life, and property sggre-
eating about $4,000. The fire
whom discovered had partially
consumed box car loaded with
cotton and spread to the cotton on
a platform adjacent. When the
flames were finally subdued 400
bales of cotton, the depot of the
> & & @ extension and its con-
rents, two loaded box cars, and
several warehouses filed with
cotton seed had been consumed.
The losses are pretty generally
covered by insurance. All of the
cotton lost belonged to the Ian
caster Mercantile Co. There wore
about 1900 bales of cotton on
the platform and depot lot and
1T was only by the most heroic
work that the major portion of it
was saved from the flames.
The origin of the fire 10 not
known, but it is supposed that
the unfortunate man whose charred
remains were found in the debris
the following day, and who was
known to have taken lodging in
the car loaded with cotton the
night before, struck match for
some purpose during the night
and accidentally set fire to the
cotton. Another theory is that
the cotton was set afire by sparks
from the engine of the freight
train which passed down that
night. Tho unfortunate man, we
learn, was Bates SuttIe, of Shelby,
n g. He was surveyor and
WAS employed on the new railroad
being built from Cheraw to Cam
den. He came to Kersbaw Sat
urday and bought a ticket to
Catawba Junction but was left hv
the train and started out afoot.
He reached Heath Spring shortly
before Shutdown and applied at
several residences for lodging but
was refused because he wa. Intuxi.
Gated. The last seen of him he
was crawling into TIE box cur
that night. Coroner Young held
an inquest over his remains Mon.
day morning. There was no
evidence of foul play; any theory
of robbery and murder was re
butted by the fact that melted
silver, showing that his money
had not been taken, was found
beside what had not been consum
ed OF his body. Mr.. Suttle was
about 80 years of age and leaves
4 wife and several small children.
His wife, Mrs. Ida Suttle, will
have the deepest sympathy of the
many friends of her childhood
days in the upper section Of this
county. She is IL daughter of Mr.
John Robinson, formerly of the
Van Wyck neighborhood.

with the burning. The evidence
against him 10 only circumstsn~
tial. He knew Of the money be-
ing in the trunk, and he was in
Lancaster and bought him n new
pair OF shoes, throwing his old
ones away, early before breakfast
Saturday morning.
