ANOTHER CHERRY TREE CASE
Compromise Expected in Cherokee Napki,
Ring Case.
Baskerville CitiZen.)


The Cherokee napkin ring case has
been settled practically as to one defend
ant-Mr. j. S. Gilmore, og Bryson City.
The failure of j. 3. Sheriff., one of the
defendants, to appear at the last term
of the United States District Court pre-
vented the formal mol pressing as to
Gilmore. District Attorney Holton be-
came convinced that Mr.. Gilmore, though
technically guilty in his sight, had no
intent to deraud, and upon agreement
with Major Moody that Gilmore should
restore the money he had received from
the enterprise the District Attorney de-
clded to ask the court to dismiss the case
as to Gilmore but declined to do so uni IS
Sheriff. was present and Sheriff. was not
Mr. Gilmore is here now and hopes that
Sheriff. will put in an appearance so
that he may be relieved from the noto-
riety he has obtained. Mr.. Elmore is
we'll known citizen of Bryson City and
in 1899 was engrossing cerk of the House
of Representatives of this State He says
he thought the project was all right and
went into it only short time before it
was suspended by the government, and
received only a small sum.
The arrest of those interested in the
scheme created big stir in the western
counties. The bill of indictment charged
conspiracy to defraud by the use of the
mails and was against the two men
named and Lee j. Hall. 1t set out that
the projectors of THE Cherokee Napkin
Ring Company" offered for $12 to give
agencies which would pay $40 per month
for writing letters-in brief an endless
chain scheme similar to the Amos Owens
Cherry Tree scheme in Rutherford coun-
ty-to dispose of napkin rings made by
the Cherokee Indians and represented
to be of great value and the most beau
tiful souvenir of the children of the

No Threat of Bombardment.

Caracas, Dec. 31.-The report that the
German cruiser Fake is threatening to
lombard Maracaibo is untrue. In the
first place the cruiser cannot enter the
Lake of Maracaibo, and as Maracaibo is
ten miles from the bar it would be i'm
possible for the Fake to lombard it.
In the second place it is asserted in
Maracaibo that the postmaster there has
not withheld the mail of Germany mer-
chants Maracaibo is quiet.
The blockade is working injury to
commerce, and especially to American
interests.

Elizabeth City. N. c., Jan. IA party
of little children made a gruesome find
in Perquimans county yesterday. 1t was
toe lifeless and decomposed body of an
elderly woman, and it was lying face
downward in a ditch. The corpse was
that of Mary Williams, an inmate of the
Perquimans almshouse. In declining
health and of unsound mind. she strayed
from the house nearly month ago. No

Beaumont oil field in Texas and the Jen-
nings oil region in Louisiana, and that
the price of fuel oil has been advanced 81
