MAY RIVAL cRoPsEY CASE.
North Carolina Girl Disappears Under

from Lenoir, N. c., says: A sensa-

Miss Cordie Childers, young wom-
an of perhaps % or "a, living at the
home of her uncle, about one mile
from Lenoir, on the Blowing Rock
road, has mysteriously disappeared.
She attended a church near her home
and was accompanied home by Will
Fulwood, young widower of the
neighborhood, who has paid her some
attention.
The young man said she asked him
in the course of their conversation il
he was not engaged to another girl,
and he told her he was, and that moth.
ing unusual took place except that he
left her at the door crying. She has
not been seen since, nor has days
search in all directions revealed any
suggestion as to her wherea bouts.
The family did not become alarmed
until Thursday morning, thinking that
she was spending the night with a
neighbor No one has yet been heard
to connect the young man name with
Miss Childer's disappearance, both on
account of the excellent reputation OF
both parties and on account of the
fact that the VOunp woman had hoau

of an unhappy home life which she
Is said to have declared would not
continue as 1t had been for some time.
Mayor Newland says the large pond
of the Caldwell Land and Lumber
company, near the girls home, will
be dragged or drained in search of
the missing woman unless there is
news as to her whereabouts soon.

For Two Hours Man Defies Officers.
Brought Down by Boy
New York, May 2.-After shooting
a man twice, Peter Wanett held the
police and a posse at bay FL nearly
two hours, says a Wilkesbarre, Pa,
special to The Herald. Wanett fired
many shots at the crowd, but finally
was brought to earth by boy, who
knocked him senseless with a stone.
Wanett was first noticed parading
before the Russian Catholic church,
tWirling a revolver and making re-
marks about the church. Sexton Rus
sinit came out of the church and Wa
nett began shooting him. One bullet
went through Russinits arm and an
other struck his thigh. Several per-
sons tried to overpower the infuriated
man, but were shaken off, and he ran,
shooting at the posse who pursued.
When the police arrived he was on
top of a steep bluff and they could
not reach him without exposing them
selves. They called upon citizens for
aid and the bluff was surrounded. For
more than an hour police and citizens
tried to reach Wanett but each time
they approached he fired Finally just
as the police had secured rifles Wanett
dashed through the line, shooting right
and left, and got away
He was brought to bay a mile dis
tant and another circle formed. This
time, the crowd having no other weap-
ons, began throwing stone, and final
ly boy brought the man down. Wa
nett was then taken to Jail.

preparations for a representative ex-

expressed fear of the government
architect that he could not procure ma
terial for a government building by

public for months past considered
postponement a foregone conclusion,
