lively. John +. Stctson was taken from

of all who knew him, and all unite in
expressing regret at his untimey end.
He neither drank, smoked or cheWed
tobacco, something unusual, kept the
best company and for entertainment
attended the meetings of the Coopers
Mills Grange and the Whitefield Fish
and Gun Club, both of which he was a
member.
Charles d. Northy was born in
Whitefield, Oct. %, 1868, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles d. Northy. His
school training he received in his
native town where he has lived and
thrived with the community. He was
the last of six children. his mother died
last February and only his father now
survives.
After leaving school he worked at
home until the fall of 1908, when he
entered the employ of Mr.. Cooper to
learn the blackSmith's trade. He prov
ed competent and a rapid learner and
in IS months he had mastered the
trade. He left Coopers employ and
returned to his fathers home where
the latter built his son shop of his
own, Whlch ne was running on finely
paying basis at the time of his death
the above information was secured
from Mr. Northy, Sr., yesterday, and
in response to numerous questions told
the story of his sons movements on
the day of the tragedy.
"On Tuesday morning. Charley
was engaged in bricking up a
cellar wall and finished in the
ncighborhood Of 1920 o'clock. The mail

he was expecting letter. We'll, any
way, he intended to take this team

Whitefield, to the Gun Club supper, he

and soon after he came and told me he
would not need the team as he was
going off on his wheel | had little idea
where he was going as he was always
boy Of the best of habits, | did not
wonder at it."
Proceeding further Mr.. Northy said
that Charlie had never owned a re-
volver tn my knowledge" but he did
own shot gun and two rifles. He
also told of his boys blacksmith bust
ness. of his learning the trade and then
going into business for himself
In regard to his sons acquaintance
with Mrs Cooper, he said that of late
he had witnessed their intimacy and
some four weeks ago had started to
speak to his son about it but that he
thought better of it. thinking it best
to let young people choose for them
selves.
Then he knew of an acquaintance his
son had with young woman in
Coopers Mills, of his visits to her and
seeing them at Grange socials together
Mr., Northy referred the reporter
to his sons chum for further Informal
ton The latter, Forrest Partridge of
Whitefield, was about the same build
as the deceased, being thickly and
stoutly built. weighing $50 pounds al
though somewhat shorter Of statue.
His story Of Charles habits, work, and
enjoyment was practically the same
as the foregoing and one can see sin
cere regret marked on the face of this
lad who has lost not only chum but an
adviser.

less manner In which the Inflated YES
sci was being stcered. her COURSE
threatening to run down his own yes
gel. Captain Taylor and crew boarded
the vessel and placed the negroes IN

1t develops that the stories OF the
negroes are that the mutiny arose as
the result Of quarrel aboard ship,
early Tuesday morning, about the COT
fee made for breakfast. The King was
signa1led by the Berwind 80 miles east
of Frying Pan lightship and in re-
Spouse to a signal Capt. Taylor sent
his mate, engineer and others on
board the Berwind. The decks of the
schooner were crison with blood. The

After the boarding party from the
King handcuffed the mutineers on the
ship, one of the negroes complained
the irons were too tight and hurt him.
The bracelet on the negroes arm was
lcosened, when the captive whipped
out a pistol and shot one of his own
crew. The total list of killed is four
whites and one negro.
