Lindsey on Adams.

According to Judge Lindsey,
"The former democratic assessor of
this county was getting up CAM
paIgn material not long ago for po-
liticsl purposes, and he went to the
state house, and he found that under
our friend, Governor Adame, the
railroads were assessed S2S, S,000,0 900,
and under Peaboy they were assess
at S40,000,000. Well,,I don't won
der that great railroad could have
spent the thousands of dollars it is
said to have spent in the last legis.
lature in the interests of the demo
cratic candidates" And it is Just as
reasonable to suppose that the same
railroads that tried to have Alva and
his friends steal the state admins
tration two years ago are now con-
tributing handsomely to the same
object, in the hope that in that way
they will get the legislation through
the next legislature that was vetoed
by Governor Mcdonald.

DESPERATE IS
RUN TO EARTH
Frank Smith Shot 10 Death by Harry
Draper of Spokane

Portland Ore. May IA special
to The Telegram from Oregon City
says:
Desperate Frank Smith. murderer
of three officers Of the law, lies dead in
the woods, south cf New Era, Clack-
amas County, with bullet IN his head
from the revolver of Harry Draper Of
Spokane. The outlaw was trapped at
O'Clock this morning and at 1l:l0
he was writhing III the underpr sA in
his death struggle.
Prior to his destruction Smith had
made sensational escape into the
timber and had been surrounded and
penned in ny at least 200 officers and
volunteers. Dynamite had been used
to dislodge him ana the woods had
been fusillated with bullets, all of
which he escaped unhharmed.
Smith was traced to his lair through
the sagaclous intelligence of Diapers
oioodlounds. which did the best W ,rk
that bloodhounds have ever accomp
iisbed in this state.
Ia tbs chase for Smith the finish
could not have been more sDectacular
nor more dramatic. His e:,d came less
than two bours after the first inform
alton had been received by Sheriff
Culver that man, answering his des-
ciption had begged for breakfast at a
bakery near Candy. The trail. which
had been cold and dormant for the
past four days, developed with re-
markable rapidity and the more the
officers investigated the hotter 1t
grew. until the great climax was
reached and bathed in blood.
Concealed behind fallen log, less
than twenty FIVE feet IN straight
line from the railroad track, Smith
was brought to bay and there crouch
ed until the pursuers came upon him.
The flushing of Smith was unex
pected, although the men were certain
he was in the timber. The officers
stunt bleo upon him and were standing
within three yards of him when he
was espied. The dogs which had been
| following the hot scent and uttering
loud cries. stopped at the log and
shifted the air, holding their heads
eloft. Draper had the beasts in leash
and was urging them on. Suuueniy
Draper glanced down aud there, con
cealed partly by the log. was the mur.
derer and fugitive. Smith saw he
was cornered and made no outcrS. He
was industrously pulling the razors,
watches aud watches and. jeweiry
from his coat pocket and hidi lg them
under the log when Draper saw him.
Are you Smith" demanded Drap.
er.
Yes" was the brief answer.
AS Smith made this reply he pulled
his revoiver from the inside of his coat
and started to level it at Draper. In
the twiDkling of an eye, Draper wiped
out his own revolver and sent bullet
crashing through Smiths temple.

Difference in the Laws of
North and South Carolina
in Relation to.Larceny.

Sheriff Hunter, who went TO
Charlotte this week alter John
Ballard, wanted here on a charge
of larceny, as noted in Wednes
days News, did not bring his
man back with him, for the rea
son that the North Carolina au-
thorities wanted him to guaran-
tee the safe return of Ballard to
Charlotte after the courts here
had gotten through with him,
which of course the sheriff de
clined to do. The negro will be
tried at the court now in session
in Charlotte, upon the charge OF
stealing an overcoat, valued at
1913; and if convicted he will
likely languish for several years
in the North Carolina peniten.
tiary, for larceny is regarded as
no small matter in the Tar
Heel State, greatly to the credit
of our friends on the north.
They do not draw any fine dis
tinction between grand and petit
larceny, as is done in South
Carolina. Stealing is stealing in
the eyes of a North Carolinian
whether it be an old wool hat
or cotton mill. The taking OF
any old thing in North Carolina
belonging to another is consider.
ed a grave offense. The value
of the thing taken seems to cut
no ice. Many of our older read
ers will recall the fact, that
about twenty five years ago a
colored driver for a Lancaster
merchant stole in Charlotte q
pair Of shears with which to
shear his boss mules, for which
otfense he served three years in
the North Carolina penitentiary.
Had the crime been committed
this side of the state line the
punishment would not have ex.
ceeded thirty days in Jail.
