SAYS LOWRY IS DEAD
Henry Berry Lowry Wa Leader of
Notorious Lowry Gang i'm Robson
County.

The Fayetteville Observer of yester-
day says:
Everybody in this section Of the
country remembers having heard of
the famous Lowry gang in Robson
county. which operated for years to
the terror of the whole country. Most
of us will also remember reading re-
Gently that Henry Berry Lowry. the
leader of the gang. was still alive. and
was in Mexico. and was anxious to re-
turn to to this country. and had petit
toned the governor for a pardon that
he might return.
In this connection the Florence
Times says:
The readers of this paper will be in
terested in knowing that one Of the
OXendineS. a brother-in-law of Low
ry. passed through this city a few
nights ago. going TO New York from
Mexico. He went down there %
years ago. and has become independ-
emily wealthy working in Mexican
mining properties. He talked freely
to various gentlemen that he met. and
to them he said with the greatest ear
nestneSS that Lowry was really dead,
that there was no truth in the recent
story of his being alive in Mexico.
NOXendine declared most solemnly
hat he a assisted in the burial OF
his brother-in-law. and that his body
was buried in a hollow log in a
swamp to avoid suspicion.
There was 100000 offered as a re-
ward for the return of his body. dead

NOT TO NARROW STREET
STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER
BIDDLE ON SUBJECT.

The District Commissioners have listened

and that roadway will not be narrowed TO
thirty feet, as had been contemplated.
This fight has waged for some time and re-
Gently the Commissioners granted the rep
resentatives of the association a public
hearing. In his report on the matter Col.
BiGdle says:
81 have carefully gone over the general
subject of width of streets. 1t has been the
policy that when a street is thirty-two feet
wide and 1t is necessary either to pave or
resurface it that the street is reduced to
thirty feet in width. This has been general
throughout the District and is applied
much IL not more in the northwest section
than in the northeast. This plan was adopt
ed some years ago. and the reason for 1t ap-
parently was that the trees being very close
to the curb and the new curb wider than the
old one the trees would be less injured by
placing the curb farther away from them
than il the original line of curb were kept
This rs evidently good policy for this rea-
son. besides economy.
I'm view, however, of the fact that large
number of the streets in the District have
width of 81 feet and it has become in way
a standard width for residence streets, and
a suitable one, l believe that the policy of
keeping as near to this with as possible
should be adopted. especially in view of the
fact that the residents alo/E this street who
make use of 1t are strongly DESTROYS of
keeping the width of 80 feet.
II therefore move that in this special in
stance the width of the street be only de-
creased sufficiently to protect the trees. but

coal in the house, no food for my meals
and no milk for my sick baby. Every time
that got any money for food l had to send
my brother or my father to the power
house for it. Finally l went home"
William Lipphard was before the court
for failure to support minor children. His
wife brought her little girl with her to the
court. She stated that she had received no
money from her husband for some time
and that she had been living with her
parents.
You left his house, which he maintained
for you. didn't you?" asked the attorney
for the defense.
Yes. But | left because I was compelled
to. Then came the picture, stated at the
beginning of this story. 1t was developed
that Lipphard is getting about $40 for
working as a motorman. Judge O'Neal
thought that he ought to give his child 81
per week and he promised to do so.

who was Cartons second third wife,
examined in order to have the cause of
death definitely determined Carlton was
arrested on a technical charge of vagrancy
to cover the complaint of H. B. Schaub,
naval machinist at tho Brooklyn yard, that
the prisoner robbed him of 500.
The German family also have laid the
case before Capt Harkins of the Brooklyn
detective bureau. Schaub besides charging
Carlton with swindling him. alleges that
four distinct attempts were made to poison
him while he was with Carlton In the Hotel
ST. George in Brooklyn after the latter had
obtained the money.

German and her son and Mrs. Hattie
