HE SHOT THE HAT.
a Somewhat Risky Custom In Okla.
homa That Saves Time ON
Windy Day.

"A whole lot of ideas with which we
grow up change when we get into an
other country" said New York man
who has just came back from three
months trip in the southwest, accord
ing to the Sun. "Now, one of the things
we have heard of all our lives is that if
a mans hat blows off he is a fool to
run after it, for there is always some
body around polite enough to pick it
up and hand it to the owner, if he has
to walk block to do it.
II have seen it done. I have read
about it more times than have had
hats.
"But It is not the custom at Reno,
Okla. was sitting on the veranda Of
the hotel in that town, watching the
various articles which one of those
sandstorms whirled through the air.
"The hat of a citizen was raised and
carried against place on the other
side of the street. A strapping fellow,
who had been picking his teeth with
match as he sat near me on the varan-
da, got up, whipped out navy revolver
and fired shot at the hat, mailing it
to the fence.
THE owner came up, pulled the hat
from its Implement waved his hand
atthe man on the veranda and proceed
ed on his way.
1t saves time runnin' after it, said
the man on the veranda, and it don't
hurt the hat"

A1,aoed Trainwrecker's Case.

The grand jury of Fairfax county,
met at Fairfax Court House this morn"
ing for the purpose of returning an in
dictment against Robert Hamilton,
accused of wrecking the New York and
Florida express on the Southern Rail
wav at Ravensworth on February ii,
when Engineer Thomas Purvis, Of this
city, and Walter Wigginton, colored
fireman. we're killed. The principal
witness will be Andrew beavers, wEo
swore out the warrant on which Hamil-
ton was arrested on Thursday afternoon.
Il is understood that beavers will testify
that Hamilton suggested wrecking the
train to Simon beavers and that the
latter refused. Hamilton still main
tains his innocence. He declares that
when the wreck occurred he was al
Ditchley, mile and a half from the
scene of the disaster, and that two
telegraph operators at that station can
testify to that fact, thus establishing an
abb for him. The grand jury, how
ever, brought in a true bill against
Hamilton this morning, but as the lattel
had not secured counsel he will not b'
arraigned until Thursday, in order tina
time NAV be afforded him to procure
the services of counsel. He has beer
in consultation with Thornton q Thorn
ton, whom he will endeavor to employ
to appear in his behalf.

Hitch in Proceedings.

A hitch has occurred in the proceedings
for the extradition from New York OF
Amos p. Elliott, wanted in the county
for the alleged larceny of 1924 from VIM
Marcy and SlSl from the Walker Chap
ell Methodist Church. Sheriff Palmer
cndeavered to secure the prisoner last
Friday without the requisition, but Elliott
refused to leave the New York Jail, where
upon Palmer was compelled to take the
train for Albany TO secure Gov. Odelr
signature to the papers. During this de-
Law Elliot will endeavor to obtain his re-
lease on habeas corpus writ, but Attorney
James E. Clements. who has the case In
charge for the prosecution, declares that
the New York authorities are IN posses
sion of enough evidence to hold Elliott
until Palmer's return from Albany.

Change of Superintendent.

Mr. A. Gordon Jones, who has been
superintendent of the Washington d.
vision of the Southern for the past year,
has been succeeded by Mr.. W. q. Choate,
assistant to the general superintendent
of the road, with headquarters at SAILS
hurry. n. G. Mr.. Choate has Tor ire
mast month had an office in the building
on Prince street, in this city, occupied
by the division superintendent. 1t Is
understood that the change means that a
promotion is in view for Mr.. Jones.
There are several rumors as to what
position he will be assigned, one to the
effect that he will be made superlnten-
dent of freight service, with headquarters
in Washington; another that he VIII
no made an assistant to Col. A. b. An
drews. the first vice president Of the
Soutbern and still another that he will
be made a vice president, and placed IN
charge of AN important branch OF the
aerv;ce. While Mr.. Jones's many friends
in this city will be glad to hear OF any
advancement he may receive, they all
regret that he is to leave Alexandra, as
ali who have had intercourse with him
have ever found him courteous and ac-
commodating.
Other changes in the management
Of the road have been made as
follows: Mr.. II. A. Williams, train
master of the Danville division, Is
made superintendent of the Norfolk
division, succeeding Mr.. A, Ramseur'
who became superintendent of the Ashe-
vile division, succeeding Mr.. G. r.
Loyle, transferred to the Knoxville d.
