WONDERFUL STORY
ABOUT THE KENDALL
ROBBERY.
A Tale of Keeley, Institute in

The Kendall diamond robbery

II there be any truth in an article
in the Charlotte Observer from
It's Greensboro correspondent,
then there may soon he an arrest
of n suspected burglar.
Following is the story in The
Observer:

much in it of the elements of prl
vato sorrow and personal ill-eor-
tune that should with discretion
be concealed from the worlds in
srcction.
"Just one month ago James
Campbell of Columbia, 5. c.,
came TO Greensboro to take the
hceley treatment. He had taken
the gold cure once before at Col,
umbla. Not great deal was
known of him here, though his
conversation and occasional ru-
mors stamped him rs an unsavorv
character. Those who talked
with Campbell, and who are nv

that he appeared to be perfectly

pass that one Rufus Lindsay was
accused of reporting some of his
nelghbOrs to the "revcnucs, :"
wherein he alleged that they were
taking advantage of the moonlight
nights to make a .decoction that
exhilarates and ineb, ates, and is
much sought after by mankind.
Friday night the initiative was
taken In preparing for a general
JubilatiOn which followed the next
day. In a friendly fashion some
of Rnfus Lindsay's tighbors went
to call upon him at Il rather late
hour, when the dOmiciIe was
closed and he was wrapped in
slum ber. and by way of making
known their presence the callers
fired into the house, the bullets
answering the purpose OF visiting
cards, which were readily recOg-
nizcd by Lindsay. but for pru-
dental reasons he did not open the
doors and invite his visitors to
enjoy a belated hospitality. This
failure on his part incenscd the
party very much, and by way of
revenge they cut down three acres
of corn near the house, which
would lessen the product to that
extent if Lindsay should take Il
notion to become a moonshiner
himself.
Saturday was a gala day for the
Dark Corner, and there was a
festive baseball game scheduled to
come off in the afternoon, quite
near to Dickey's chapel and only
a short distance from Highland
postoflice. Lindsay and his two
brothers, Tom and Alfred,
thought it Il favorable time to as,

they went to the baseball ground,

This was Indignantly denied, oi
