| Messrs. Morrow, Staples and Fox Of
the Loray baseball team went to
Yorkville yesterday afternoon to play
with the Glover team. .... The police
power of Kings Mountain seems to
have been exhausted last Saturday
night, when Mr.. w. D. Dulin got his
As Colts pistol and proceeded to hold
the town up. He was formerly chief
Of police of that town, but ceased to
hold that position about one week
before the events of Saturday night.
In the Kings Mountain Herald Of
yesterday an account of the affair is
printed over the signature of Mr.. H.
P. Allison, who is the editor and also
justice of the peace. We copy it as
| follows: There was a aggression
| from the usually quiet and peaceful
| department of our town on last Sat-
urday night which calls forth, on ac-
| count of myself and county officers,
few explanatory remarks. For
many years, between the mayors and
| the justices of the peace of King 8
| Mountain, there was an unwritten
rule, or tacit agreement, that the
mayors would refer all state work to
the justices and the justices would re-
| fer all town affairs to the mayor. In
| latter years this usage has been dis
| regarded, and the town authorities
are taking cogniZance not only Of all
state matters within the town, but
| are spreading out into the township.
have been disregarded and private
citizens, unclothed of legal authority,
have been sent off to apprehend and
bring back persons who had commit
ted offenses outside Of the town.
Though our rights and the rights Of
the county officers were thus being
trampled upon, we said as little as
we could and allowed the situation to
work out itself. Saturday night
when w. D. Dulin appeared on the
streets about the business block in
apparently drunken condition with
a As caliber Colts pistol in his hand,
fired a half-dozen shots and brought
a few drunken yells, he had things
his way and plenty of room to do his
performances. The town had one
'feather-legged' policeman with the
pronounced and Outspoken contempt
of the public and the unlimited wrath
and vengeance of the offender TO
back him up in the performance OF
his duty He quit the field on the
first go and it was utterly impossi-
BILE to find him to lead posse.
Phone messages flew in TO the mayor.

to be powerless. If what the mayor
