Mr.. Thos. Cutchin Killed.

Mr.. Thos. cutchin Killed.
The sad news was received here Tues
day that Mr.. Thos. Cutchln he'd been
killed at Rocky Mount. He was yard
conductor in the railroad yards at
Rocky Mount, having just been pro-
NOTED from yard master. While .at-
tending to his duties on the yard an
engine backed upon him aud he was 60
mangled that he died instantly.
His body was brought to Scotland
Neck this morning "wednesday and
inferred in the Baptist cemetery.
Rev. G. T. Lumpkin conducted the
services, assisted by Rev. Craig, of
Rocky Mount.
Mr.. Cutchin was about twenty-four
years old, and had been in the service
OF the Atlantic Coast Line at Rocky
Mount for about eighteen months. He
vas faithful, careful and reliable in hie
work and as result had just been
promoted to the position which he
held at the time of the sad accident.
For several years Mr.. Cutchin had
been member of the Baptist church
Of this place. He leaves father and
three sisters to mourn the loss of q
son and brother.
A long procession followed the
corpse to the cemetery. The entire
community was deeply grieved at the
sad and terrible accident. The keenest
sympathy is felt for those who are so
peculiarly stricken by this tell stroke
which took the etrong young imam
from his activities in the very sunrise
of life's promising day.
Those who accompanied the remains
from Rocky Mount we're: Rev. B.
Craig, pastor of the Baptist church in
Rocky Mount, Mr.. and Mrs. S. X,
Fountain and their daughter, Mrs. T
T. Thorne, Mess. G. A. Camp, Otie
Bracy, Joe Cutchin and Sion Rollins.

A DRIVE INTO NASH COUNTY.

The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
had the pleasure last week of driving
from Rocky Mount ten miles into Nash
county. The occasion for the drive
was the attendance upon the COM
mencement exercises of Red Oak
ACADEMY, OF which Rev. G. W. May is
principal. The school has been estab-
lished about four years: and has made
fine progress. The enrolment is large
and the people of the community take
great interest in the school.
1t was not our privilege to hear
much of the commencement pro-
gramme, for We had to hurry back to
Rocky Mount in order to catch the
train ; but we saw and heard enough to
indicate what the exercises would be,
The students in the school are a fine
body of boys and girls, young men
and young ladies, and the good work
done in the school is having telling
effect upon the community.
Mr.. Wilzerson, county superintend-
emit OF public instruction for Nash
county, is active in his work and has
brought the work to high standard
in his county. We saw several OF the
public school houses and all showed
taste and judgment in their location
and the care given them.
Nash county has some unusnall,
fine schooIs-high schools and they
are numerous. In the community Of
Red Oak, within radius of five or six
miles, there are several high schools
Red Oak, Dortch's, Oak Level, Bunn's,
and perhaps some others. The educa.
tlonal interests in Nash seem to be
fine.
We appreciated the opportunity Ct
observing some OF the fine farms in
Nash. They are fertile, we'll cultivated
and show thrift.
At Rocky Mount there is always
some new improvement. Much of the
property around the town has been
greatly improved during the last few
years, and the proportions of the town,
the hum of business and general tone
of things, suggest to one that the town
is becoming city-like.
One Of the secrets of it all IL, the
people believe in their town and COM
munity

Warrants Out for Five VIOLA

STATE AUDITOR IVERSON WILL
PROECUTE OFFENDERS.
Secret Work Done by Attorney
Bevans of St. Paul Results
In Big Haul.

Warrents were today issued by
County Attorney Loud for five
men accused of trespassing
upon state lands, and the papers
will be served by Sheriff Bailey
as soon as possible. For the
present, the names Of the men
who will be arrested are withheld
but will be given out as soon as
their arrest has been accomp
lished.
The issuance of the warrents
is the result of a large amount of
secret work done bv Attorney Fl.
T. Bevans Of st. Paul, special at
torney for the state auditors of.
flee, and D. b Elliot, Robert Will
son and Lafayette Shaw, state
cruisers.
Mr.. Bevans arrived in Bemid il
about two weeks ago, his visit be
ing ostensibly of a private nature.
1t has developed, however, that
he is connected with the state
auditors office in the capacity of
a special attorney in looking after
trespass cases, and the issuance
of the warrants for five different
men is the result of his visit. It
is claimed that the men accused
have been caught red handed and
that their conviction of having
stolen tim Der from the state
lands is certainty, b
The arrest Of the tim Der thiev.l
es is considered a victory for
State Auditor Iverson in view Of
the recent investigation Of the.
auditors office in connection with
the official acts of former Auditor.

Famous Sp0oner Character
Shot Down Saturday Night /.
by Unknown Assassin.
MURDERER DEALS DEATH THRU
WINDOW OF HOTEL BAR.
Claimed That Cannon QuarreIed
With Parties Clearing Lot
at Spo0ner.

Matt Cannon, plaintiff in the
famous Spooner townsite case,
met death at Baudette at 9 o'clock
Saturday night at the hands of
an unknown assassin. He was
shot twice, once through the kid
neys and once through the knee.
He lived Is hours. County At,
torney Loud was notified of the
affair yesterday and Sheriff Bal
ley left yesterday afternoon for
the scene Of the crime and County
Attorney Loud and Coroner Mar
cum left today. The following
special was received by the Pho
neer concerning the affair:
Baudette, April 1O-The crisis
was brought on by Gannon's per
scouting two innocent parties
who were clearing lot on the
Spooner townsite. Cannon
struck one for refusing to pay
fine imposed by Justice Kyler.
One hundred people of the sur
rounding country were present
when Cannon approached the
two men clearing the lot, and he
was invited to leave town before
night. Cannon had quarreled
with two disinterested parties
during the day and drew a gun
on them. Cannon used shame
full language during the day al
every opportunity. The crowd
dispersed before he was shot
about 9 o'clock p. m. Saturday
night through the kidneys and
knee. He lived Is hours. He
was shot through the window of
the Hotel Cathcart bar. The
people deplore and disavow the
act. The perpetrator is unknown.
County Attorney Loud stated
to the Pioneer this afternoon
that every effort would be made
to apprehend the perpetrator of
the crime. Generally speaking,
sentiment throughout the county
has been against Cannon, and at
Baudette his enemies were num-
erous. It was not thought, how
ever, that there would be an at.
tempt made to end his existence,
and no resident of Spooner or
Baudette is suspected of having
a hand in the affair.
