ing IT,.
A case came up III the District
Court in st. Paul, Mimi, in July N
which evidence elected the fact that
44O5 shares of stock which cost Chas
Faber SIS in March, 1891, we're worth
$4,000 in July, 1903 The stock was
considered valueless when Faber pur-
chased it. 1t was the stock of the
Royal Gold Mining Co." which owns
the Song Bird and Gray Eagle mines
at Silver Cliff, Montana, which have
become very valuable properties.
Faber became insolvent, and listed
among his assets, it is said, "A min
ing interest at Silver Cliff, Mont"
The receiver sold this interest to j.
F. George who sold his interest to F
F. Wilde; Wilde sold it to his wife
and she sold it to her daugher, the
plaintiff in the case, and Faber is
now endeavoring to retain the stock
and insists that the item in the as
sets did not include the stock of the
| Royal Gold Mining Co, for at that
! time it was considered absolutely val
ueless, and was not considered worth

preparations are being made to place
a new boiler in the fire room. The
work of building the water tanks for
water supply in well under way. There
was some talk of placing electricity IN
the shops for motive power but as
steam has always given satisfaction.
it was decided to continue in the same
line. The new boiler will be in palce
before the winter sets in. The NAH

This D. L a, d w. Claim

The House Committee on Claims de-
cided yesterday afternoon to report IA
ycrably the resolution allowing the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western Railroad
S201.92, a claim for transportation of
sixteen members Of a band from Scran
ton. Pa, to enlist in the Second North
Carolina Regiment of Volunteers in the
Spanish-America War. Henry Miller
was before the committee to urge the
granting of the claim. 1t seems that the
Adiutant General had telegraphed to Mi.
Miller at the time to make the arrange
ment and guarantee the money to the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western.
The General Government did not allow
the claim, because it held that the Adj
jutant General had overstepped his au
thority in going outside of the State TO
enlist men. The matter came up before
the Legislature two years ago, and Cen
eral Register said that an Enabling Act
would be passed by the Government.
But it was not passed, and now it seems
that North Carolina has TO foot the bill.

Burglar at Kinston
Especial to News and Observer1

(SpeclaI 10 news ana OBSERVER
Kinston. n. c., Feb. 11-Walter Hous-
ton alias Hunter, dark mulatto was
shot and killed here this morning by o
police officer in an attempt to arrest him
for burglary.
A number of burglaries have been
committed here of late and the officers
have been unable to make an arrest, ow-
ing to the shrewdness of the thief. This
morning about a. M, Officers Dunn and
Heath began shadoWing a suspicious ne
gro and finally saw him enter the
store of w. w. luton. The officers
posted themselves at the front and rear
entrances They heard him trying to
cpen the money drawer and Officer Dunn
in the front called to him to come out,
whereupon he rushed out the back door
into the arms of Officer Heath
A struggle then ensued over the pos
session of Officer Heath's pistol, but on
the arrival of Officer Dunn on the scene
the negro ran, and both officers fired
upon him, which brought him to the
earth. He died in about fifteen min
utcs He had entered the store of Tun-
stall and Hill through a rear window
earlier in the night, from which he took
two pairs of shoes, a hat and a pair of
pants He then entered the grocery store
of Moore and Hooker through q front
window and took about 81 and some
small articles. The cOroners inquest eX-
onerated the officers for the killing, they
being clearly within the legal rights.

A Turnp Ike Fight.

There was a rather warm time with
the House Committee on Roads and Turn
pixies yesterday afternoon. 1t was over
Mr.. NcwIand bill for the improvement
Of the road from Lenoir to Blowing Rock.
The bill proposes to take that part of
the road from Patterson's Factory to
I.enoir out Of the hands of the present
company, and put it under control OF
some other company, or the County
Commissioners OF Caldwell. The reason
for this is that the people of Lenoir and
the surrounding country are compelled
to Fay toll. The Watauga people are
vigorously opposing the BILL and yester-
day afternoon Capt. E. f. Lovill, Of
Roonc: DR.. c. ]. Parker, of Blowing
Rock, and Mr. II. II. Taylor. of Vale
Crucis, We're before the committee and
made strong speeches against the bill.

J. w Mullen will be removed as post
master at Charlotte. N. c., at once as
the result of newly preferred charges,
which the Post Office Department will
not overlook under any circumstances.
The appointment as Mullens successor
has already been rendered to George b.
Hiss, who made the race for Congress
for the Republicans in the Tenth Dis
trict. In the event that he declines the
appointment, Senator Pritchard has an
nounced that Mr.. Hiss shall be allowed
to name the man.
1t required three sets of charges to
bring about the removal of Postmaster
Mullen, but this last transgreSsion was
too much even for the Postmaster Gen
eral who sent word to Senator Pritch
ard this morning that he would not trifle
with Mullen any longer and asked him
TO suggest the name of the man he de-
sired % succeed him. Senator Pritchard
Immediately wired Mr. Hiss rendering
him the appointment.
A post office inspector-Mr. Enterman
the same who reported Mullen for a
partment the information which has re-
suited in his downfall. The inspectors
charge is that Mullen had not weighed
the daily newspapers in Charlotte during
his five years of service as postmaster,
and that as result the government has
lost $4,000 approximately. Mr.. Enterman
recites in his report the fact that he
noticed the postal officials failed to
weigh the Charlotte Observer and the
afternoon paper, the News A search of
the records showed that the law in this
respect has not been complied with at
all. For several days the mail from beth
papers was weighed, and based upon
these weights the Post Office Depart
ment figures that the Government has
lost something like $4,000 in five years.
The investigation was sufficient to con-
vince Mr. Payne that Mullen should go.
1t has been less than two weeks since
Mullen faced the Postmaster General on
an even more serious charge than the
one that has brought about his removal
that of being shy in his accounts. To
the surprise of every one Mullen was
forgiven, told to so home and sin no
more. and that he would continue to hold
his job. Last winter Mr.. Mullen was
charged with insobriety while visiting
Washington and his case was held for
weeks and weeks before it was decided
not to bounce him.
Senator Simmons afterwards opposed
his confirmation in the Senate, and only
consented to relent at the opening of
this session as the result of Mullen's
good behavior
