VIOLENT STORM
Does Damage in Different Parts Of
Colorado.

colorado.
Denver, May 23.-At least two per-
sons were killed in the heavy storm
which prevailed in many parts of Col
orado yesterday. The electrical dis
turbances were the most severe of any
this year. The rain fell in binding tor
rents, and was accompanied by high
wind. Hailstones were larger than
usual. Owing to the damage to wires
reports are incomplete. The damage
was heaviest at Greeley.
Two deaths are reported:
Fort Collins: Mrs. John Bee, aged
fifty-eight, struck by lightning.
Longmont: Unknown Mexican, en-
ployed by Richard Clark, struck by
lightning.
A terrific rain and electric storm,
accompanied at times by hail, swept
Greeley, Eaton, Windsor and vicinitq
last night. From o'clock until 10
o'clock rain fell in torrents. The light
ming was the most vivid seen in years
and played havoc with telephone and
telegraph wires. Several large trees
here were struck and some damage
was done to dwellings.
1t is feared that many cattle on the
range were killed by lightning. Water
from the gullies west and south of
town poured into No. 3 ditch with the
result that it broke through its banks
and flooded streets and cellars in the
western edge of town.
There was heavy rain at and above
Colorado Springs and ManiIou and a
flood in Monument creek did some
damage.
Mrs. John Bee, living twelve miles
north of Fort Collins, was struck by
lightning yesterday while working In
her garden and instantly killed.

Two Southern Young Men Take HON.
Ors at the Military Academy.

Mr.. Dewitt G. Jones, of Georgia,

Of one of the largest classes that has
ever gone out from the United States
Military Academy, at West Point, is
the son of Captain Homer Jones, the
well-known conductor on the Southern

Jones numbers his friends in the city
by the score who rejoice with him in
the high honors that have been taken
by his son. Dewitt Jones. The honor
is no small one. To be a star man is
a distinguished honor at this the most
rigid of military institutions, but to be
the first of the sIors is an honor such
the first of the stars S an honor such
as is coveted by every cadet, but gain
ed by few of the many that enter West
Point. Captain Jones is to be congrat-
ulated on the success of his capable
son.
Mr.. Ernest Graves. a name familiar
to every North Carolinian interested
in athletics, a former University star,
a Tar Heel. born and bred, who, dur
ing his academy course. has been .be
star of the West Point Athletic Asso-
citation, graduates in the class of 1906
with second honor.
Pot Graves is considered one of the
most popular of the cadets at West
Point. AS an athlete he ranks among
the first that have ever studied at the
Military Academy and his attainments
as a scholar are attested by the TACT
that he graduates second in a large

FISHERMEN AROUSED
COnstitutiOnality of Act of Last Leg
islature Being Tested.

On the docket Of the spring term OF
superior court of Dare county, held last
week at Manteo, Judge G. w. Ward,
Of this city, presiding, appeared a case
which is of great interest throughout
this section of the state. Constitution
al rights are involved and then it is
in reference to mt of the principal in
dustries Of the first district. The case
was Heard by Judge Ward and was as
follows: The last legislature passed
what is known as the Vann bill, :e-
stricting fishing in the Pamlico and
Roanoke Sounds. One CT the sections
of the bill provides that the oyster
commissioner or his assistant, upon re-
ceiving an affidavit stating pom in
formation Or belief that the fish law
is being violated, may go or send and
have the matter investigated and re-
move the nets in the prohibited waters
and sell the nets and pay the costs and
surplus to be paid to the school fund.
Several people in and near Edenton
filed with the oyster commissioner that
they had been Informed and believed
that the law was being violated. This
affidavit was sent by the oyster COM
missioner to Mr.. J. L. Horner at Man
teo. Mr.. Horne under the directions CT
the oyster commissioner went and took
up two nets of M. r. F. Daniels at a
place he had been fishing for twenty
three years and was going to sell them.
Daniels brought claim and delivery
and took the nets. He is contending
that the law is unconstitutional to take
a persons property and confiscate it
without due process of law. As be-
fore stated this case was tried before
Judge Ward, who is expected to render
his decision within a few days.-Eliza-
beth City Economist.

may look to see his barns and other
outhouses or even his dwelling fred by
night, or he may expect to be shot
from ambush by some moonshiner Or
his hireling.
It is time a stop is put to this law
lessness and open defiance of law and
decency.
We say unhesitatingly that this
state of affairs has grown worse of
late and that to a large extent its IL
crease. is due. in the counties in which
"moonshining' and 'blockading" exist,
to the supineness Ito use b mildest
term possible und-r existing conditions

counties. IL is a blot on the state that
her officers do no. break up this infam-
Gus traffic. 1t is impossible that they do
not know that such illicit traffic is
being carried on. They could spot the
men and the places if they would.
They are either intimidated by the men
who carry on this unlawful business or
they are afraid of loosing their po-
litical influence and that of their
friends. Anyway you may put it a de-
plorable state Of affairs exists in Ger
tain sections of state.

AN ILLEGAL COMPREHENSIVE.

The clipping below from the Mon
zoe Journal is iesI ectfully submitted
to The Gazette-Ncws, of Asheville, for
its careful consideration. 1t is cOnfr-
nation Of The Messengers statement,
made a few days ago, that there was
reason to believe from the convictions
in the federal courts and from the
charges made in the newspapers of the
piedmont and mountain section, that
in many instances revenue officers
were in collision with the men who
operated illicit distilleries and traded
in blockade liquors.
A state paper made the statement
a few days ago, ia commenting on the
attempted ASSASSINATION of Grub and
Thompson, near Salisbury, that it was
reported there were a number of Illicit
stills in a certain township of David
son county, and that the state and fed
eral officers were afraid to attempt to
break them up.
This is indeed a d%eplorable state of
affairs if true. Nothing can be
demoralizing to 4 rural community
than a blockade still, especially when
it is operated, as is usually the case,
by a gang of lawless and desperate
men. They attempt to debauch n
degrade the whole community. They
seek to bring all inhabitants OF the
ne~ighborhood under their influence
and make them their allies or else IN
timidate them to the extent of making
them afraid to give information which
will tend to the suppression of the
illegal traffic; and in order to acconi-
plish their purpose they stop at no
crime. If they cannot make a friend
and accomplice ct a man they intim-
idate him. In order to do the latter
they stop at no crime. Arson and
murder are nothing to them. The mar
who dares to stand out against them
