T.. o. E
G. Baumgartner met with an ex-
pensive and dangerous accident on his
way to LIE Sueur. He was riding on
load of hay and on passing over the
remains of what he supposed to be
burned out bonfire in the road, the
horses feet started the smoldering ma
terial into blaze, with the result that
the load OF hay caught fire at the rear
end. Springing from the load, Baum
gartner sought to unhitch. the horses,
but the cracking of the flames made
the animals so nervous that he was
unable to do so. ~ 90, j .'>
Realizing that the team would be
burned to death as soon as the flames
reached the front end Of the load un-
less something was done, Baumgart-
ner, with rare presence. of mind,
sprang onto one OF the horses and
whipped the team INTO a run at a
terrible pace along the road. The re-
sulting rush of the hay through the
air SO famed the flames backward
that, before they were hot enough in
front to injure the horses, they burn

blazing hay, rack and rear wheels in
the road. The two-mile run was made
in eight minutes.

Grasping a gold-mounted revolver,
presented by her recreant husband, the
princess forced her way into the
princes apartments, after shooting at
faithful valet who tried to prevent
her entrance. Frenzied with rage and
humiliation, the princess stood before
the guilty pair. The prince sprang to-
ward her, but as he did so she cried:
"Beast!" and shot the actress in the
breast
The woman uttered shrek and fell
to the floor. The prince seized his wife,
who would have made her revenge
complete with another shot had not her
intention been thwarted Overcome
with the enormity of the deed she
broke down and was led weeping from
the apartment. Strenuous efforts were
made to keep the affair secret, but
the facts came out through the actress
crazed servants and were soon common
property in the city.

We do not like to give our failures,

The order of the Superintendent
of the Rural Free Delivery system
directing the postmasters to post in
their respective Offices correct lists
of all persons served by routes ra-
dating therefrom opens the gateway
for floods of mail of all sorts and
kinds to our rural neighbors. The
medicine men, the novelty men, the
cheap jewelry and merchandise men,
all sorts of men, including the news
paper men, will get copies of these
lists and send the people mail by the
bushel. Hitherto, as we understand
it, it has been the policy of the Post
Office Department to protect its pat
rons against receiving all sorts of un
solicited mail by instructing post
masters not to furnish lists of names
from among it's patrons. But in the
new order this policy is reversed. The
theory is that the posting of lists of
patrons will bring them larger vol
umes of mail and, in turn, greatly in
creases the amount of mail gathered
up along the routes.-Gastonia Ga
zette.
