Fire Bug Caught.
Hon. James r. Young spent a part
of the afternoon in Henderson Tues
day. He was returning to Raleigh
from Tyrrell county where he had
been to examine into an incendiary
fire. Some time ago the plant of the
Branning Manufacturing Company,
a large lumber concern at Columbia,
was burned. The fire was evidently
of incendiary origin and the facts
were reported to Mr.. Young. He
went down to investigate the matter
and as result Of such invetigation
he got up evidence sufficient to cause
the arrest of a man who was turned
over to the civil authorities. The
party arrested was former employe
who had been discharged by the com
pany.
Mr.. Young is rendered the State,
property owners and insurance COM
panies good service by the intelli-
gent and indefatigable work he is do
ing to ferret out and punish the guilty
parties in cases of incendiary fires.

SKULL CRUSHED.
William White Hits Luther
Ballenger on the Head
With an AK.

Luther Ballenger, a young man
living at ComuS, Montgomery
county, lies in a critical condition
as a result of an affray with Viii
liam White on Sunday afternoon
last at Park Mills. The latter
hit him on the head with an ak,
tracturing the skull.
The case was up before Justice
Eckstein on Tuesday last for a
hearing. A number of witnesses
were summoned and were on
hand, having walked the dis
lance, about ten miles, that morn
ing, and were in early.
The hearing developed the fact
that nearly all the crowd that
had gathered at Whites house
that Sunday were drunk, over a
gallon of whisky having been
partaken of. White and Ballen-
ger, who had had trouble, began
Quarreling and soon a fight was
in progress. After several blows
were struck the men clinched and
fell upon the ground, White on
top. He finally stood up and
picked up an ak lying upon the
ground and hit Ballenger on the
head.
Justice Eckstein held White in
the sum of $500 bail for the ac-
ton of the grand jury and the
result of Ballenger'S injuries.
