Dwelling Burned Wednesday.

Wednesday afternoon of this week,
about half past one o'clock, the word
was passed along Main street that the
fine dwelling of H. G. Verstine located
on South Pickering street, Brookville,
was on fire. Soon after word came that
it could not be saved and little later
the flames were seen as they broke out
trough the windows and roof Of the
building. The fire caught in the sew
ing room upstairs, presumably from a
small gas stove. When first noticed u
few buckets Of water would have put
the fire out, had the water been at hand
In few minutes the fire gained such
headway it could not be extinguished {.
When the hose was attached to the fire
plug nearby there was not force enough
to throw a stream onto the blaze. Near
ly everything in the house was saved,
including furniture, clothing, fixtures,
etc. The house was an excellent one
and the loss will reach $4,000 or over.
We understand there is no insurance. -

William Diltz, carpenter who re-
sided at Sykesville and was employed
on the construction of the steel tipple
for the Cascade Coal and Coke Company
at Sykesville, was killed Friday after
noon, January 6, 1905. Tongs weighing
fifteen pounds fell thirty feet and struck
Mr.. Diltz on the head, fracturing his
skull. He lived one hour after his
skull was fractured and died in the
B., r. & p. passenger station. They
were taking him to Adrian Hospital.
Friday morning Mrs. Diltz asked her
husband if he had to climb around the
tipple and If his work was dangerous.
He assured her that his work was not
dangerous and that he did not have to
climb the tipple, but in the evening OF
that day his wife was widow and three
children fatherless. This is another
reminder of the uncertainty of life.
William Diltz was about thirty-six
years old. Funeral service was held
Monday at 1000 a. M, conducted by
Rev. j. w. Crawford, pastor of the
Sykesville Baptist church, and inter-
ment was made in the Sykesville

JUDGE REED SUSTAINED.
Judgment of Jefferson County Court in
Case of Verstine VS. Yeaney Affirmed.

Judgment of Jefferson County Court in
Case of Verstine VS.. Yeaney Affirmed.
The Supreme Court has handed down
an opinion sustaining Judge Reed in
the case OF Verstine vs.. Yeaney The
question involved In this case is very
important one to land owners. Mr..
Stamey, of Reynoldsville, took an OPP
tion on certain coal land but failed to
comply strictly with the terms of his
option. Later when the land became
worth several times the amount it had
been optinned for, Mr.. Stamey under
took to enforce his option. The Jeffer-
son county court held that it was void
and could not be enforced, and it is this
decision which the Supreme Court has
just affirmed.
Judge Reed has been on the bench
now about ten years. and during this
time there have been but twenty-three
appeals taken from his decisions.
Twenty-one of these have been affirmed
and two reversed. In view OF the large
number of cases which have been heard
and disposed of since Judge Reed went
on the bench, this is most remarkable
record. II is remarkable both in the
small number of appeals taken and the
few reversals of those that were taken
1t may well be doubted whether there
is another judge in the state who has
better record than this in the APPELLATE
courts.-Brookville Republican,

Such is the Verdict OF the COrOners
Jury-Thc Case EnyelOped in
in Mystery.
Especial to News and observer.

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville, n. c., Aug. 29.-Acting
Coroner Eugene G. Glenn's Inquest
into the death of James Dougherty at
midnight last night resulted in SEN
sational revelations, and at the close
of the investigation the coroners jury
returned a verdict to the effect that
Dougherty came to his death by a
blow from a blunt instrument in the
hands of unknown persons. The muir
der of Dougherty is shrouded in my|
terry, and although a number of theo-
ries are advanced, little of tangible
nature has. been adduced
James Dougherty was found dead
yesterday morning. Late yesterday
afternoon Mr.. James, the deceased S
brother-in- asked DR.. Glenn to
open the head and lungs and to ascer-
tain the cause of death. The acting
coroner complied with the request
later in the evening, and removing a
portion of the scalp, found the skull
fractured near the ear. Sheriff Reed,
who Was acquainted with Mrs; James
brother DOugherty, said that he lived
at her house on Depot street, that he
came in during the night and went up
stairs to his room, that during the
night Mrs. James heard noises in the
hail and shutting and kicking about
Sleeping on the same floor with
Dougherty was one man, a stranger.
The man had secured lodging the ev~
ening before and occupied a room
across the hall from Dougherty. His
baggage was a grip. Who he was IS
not known. Yesterday Sorning he
left the Mouse and the grip: He re-
NAMED away all day, and returning
after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. paid
twenty-five cents for his lodging and
remarked that a serious accident had
happened there the night before. Al
ter paying the twenty-five cents and
securing the grip he left and could
not be found by the officers
Whether he knows anything about
the affair is mere theory. The coroner
and the officers, however, very much
desire him as a witness. The frac-
tured skull gave evidence that Dough
erty had been struck with smooth
instrument that he was struck while
standing up. The fracture extended to
the base of the brain, showing that
the force of the blow went down.
Another evidence that Dougherty was
murdered, and one that adds mystery
to the crime, lies in the fact that his
arms were folded over his breast, AMI
that, according to the testimony of
Mr.. James. the body was not touched
after it was found. When death en-
sues, physicians say, the arms
straighten out and Dougherty's
arms must, therefore, have been fold
ed by some person.
