bench warrants were issued for
him and only few days ago did
the sheriff succeed in arresting
him and putting him in Jail. The
accumulated fines amount to 5000.

Shaw succeeds in obtaining bond,
he and his wife will take their
babe and return to Asheville to-
morrow.
The body of Frank Baumgard-

Pacolet river at Clifton, which
was taken to Cherokee Falls and
buried, was exhumed yesterday.
This action was taken because an
unfounded rumor to the effect that
he had MET with foul play was
started by some one. A result
of the investigation developed the
fact that there were no grounds
for it.

Tuesday night about midnight
the Rev. r. p. Pell, president of
the Presbyterian College for Wo-
men, went down to close the front
door before he retired. He heard
a noise which he first thought
came from cat. He looked
around to run the animal away
and was amazed to find that the
noise was made by a little baby.
He reported to police headquar-
ters and asked that an officer be
sent out. Meanwhile the infant
was cared for at the college. The
waif is little girl, about four or
five weeks old, healthy and pretty.
Her clothes are not of the finest
material, but very nicely made.
The baby's fine condition and the
neatness of its clothes indicated
anything else than poverty.
Mr.. Pell not being in position
to care for the little one, turned
it over to some good women who
conduct the "Door of Hope" F."
There the little one is now, and
she is being we'll cared for.

Extension Of Seventh Street.

If certain people whose land through
which Seventh street must pass if ex-
tended to the intersection of Tupper
and Seventh will practice the generos-
ity which is evidenced in the action of
one property owner in this district,
there will be no doubt of the ultimate
opening of the street from Putnam to
Tupper.
Mr.. Thomas Cisler notified the
Street committee that he would donate
to the city space of 40 feet through
his property which is above Putnam
and extends on both sides of Seventh
street, when extended to make the
junction at Tupper.
If other property owners will make
similar concessions to the public good
the probabilities are that a survey of
the route will be made and presented
to the consideration of Council in the
next two weeks.

Was not Selected by Trustees on Account

The Township Trustees, acting as a

view of determining the proper place
for the location of the new town
house. A majority of the board fa-
vored placing the building near the
Reno postoffice on the Land of Ben
Racer The portion of the West farm
abutting the county road, short dis
tance above the owners residence, was
also considered by the Trustees. The
dimensions of the building will prob
ably be 20x40 and a substantial build
ing will be constructed.
The prices asked by the farmers
owning land in that vicinity are con-
sidered very high by the board and a
choice will be deferred until lower
rates can be secured.
