PREPARED TO RAID
FUND FOR WEST
RECLAMATION MONEY SOUGHT
BY ALL SORTS OF SCHEMES
BY EASTERN MEMBERS.
North Carolina Seeking to Divert Some
of the Cash to the Dismal Swamp
of That State and Arkansas Mar
Wants Some for Marsh Lands of
That State and Missouri.

Washington, d. O., Juno &c. The
threatened raid on the reclamation
fund has actually begun. The COM
mittee on public lands of the house has
reported f%avorably on the bill intro
duced by Representative Small of
North Carolina, appropriating $1,000
900 from the fund for the purpose of
draining Dismal swamp, which lies
partly in Virginia and partly in North
Carolina.
Other Members Want In.
No sooner had this action been
taken than members whose districts
contain marsh land began to frame up
J measures to secure a slice of the fund.
Many more are in course of prepare
ton, and the integrity of the fund is
seriously threatened. Representative
Volstead already has reported out of
the public lands committee a bill ap-
propriating a nice sun for the drain
ing of lands in Minnesota, while Rep
resentative Macon of Arkansas has in
troduced a measure setting aside
49, OO, 900 of the moneys that other
wise would go to the reclamation fund
for the purpose of draining certain
lands on the border of Arkansas and
Missouri.
MondeIl Keeps Eyes Peeled.
Needless 10 say, Mr.. Mondell is
fighting these bills arduously, and he
has the support of a number of western
representatives who are growing
alarmed over the tendency of such
Legislation.

Story of the Murder.
, @ @ c @ c G C c.

The story of the murder of George
night of January 10, 1906, will bear
repeating at this time. Gerber was a
small merchant, doing business in a
small store on property owned by him
self on south Second street, among the
last buildings on that street in that
part of town. He was known to have
had considerable money about his
store, and to be a very retiring man,
having few acquaintance n fewer
close personal friends.
Murder Discovered.
About noon of the goth w. S. Knad-
Ter, at present a policeman on the city
staff, on being told that Gerber had
not been seen during the day, went to
the store and discovered the dead body
of Gerber lying in the doorway be-
tween the front and middle rooms of
the store. The door of the store was
forced open and Under Sheriff M. b.
Knadler, the brother of the policeman,
arrived and took charge of affairs, the
coroner, Mr.. Robinson, being notified.
Struck With Iron Bolt.
The merchant was found on his
knees, the body forced backward. 1t
was seen that he had received Il heavy
blow on the head from some blunt in
strument, a bolt from a railroad car,
about a foot in length and weighing
several pounds, being found neal by.
with blood stains thereon.
Knife Left in Throat.
1t was a reporter for The Republican
who found that Gerber had been as
saulted with a knife as well, a common
pocket knife from a stock of a dozen
in Gerber's showcase being used. This
was left in a gaping wound in the
mans neck and was removed by the
deputy sheriff in the presence of hall
a dozen witnesses.
One Murderer Run Down.
The officers took up the trail of the
supposed murderers without delay,
and it was not long before the arrest
of William Birney, alias "Dicey," was
brought about. "Dicey" was traced
to Cheyenne ard thence to Greeley
and Fort Collins, where the arrest
was made. On the train from this
city to Cheyenne the night of the muir
der three men were seen to divide a
hatful of money. There was no ordi
nary coach on the train and the three
men, afterwards proved to be Birney
and Clay, the third never having been
located or identified, paid the Pullman
seat fare demanded.
Separated at Cheyenne.
At Cheyenne they left the train and
were not again seen together. In the
county Jail here 'Dicey" made a con
fession, duplicating Clay as the master
hand in the murder. For this comics
sion he was allowed to plead guilty tt
murder in the second degree and re
ceive a sentence of ten years in the
~penitentiary. He is now serving sent

zans.-CharlOtte Observer.
And yet if memory fails us not IT
was one OF these same gentlemen that
certain people of Greensboro sat
down on so heavily few years ago
because he had opinions OF his own
and dared express them about local
matter in which his interests were as
vitality concerned as those OF the ma
tiYes. Mr.. Cone was foreigner -
born in another State-and neW
conner to GreenSbOrO-and although
he had voluntarily become n citizen
and brought his money along with
him, flor which he deserved all the
more credit he was given to nndei-
stand that he had no rights OF OpIn-
ion in the matter at issue and that
hc should keep his mouth shut or go
back where he came from. But that
short-sighted and intolerant class
represented only small proportion
OF the citizenship and sentiment Of
Greensboro, and theCnmes are among
the most respected and valued ncqui-
sitions Of the progressive and pros
porous city ni Greensboro. Would
that every town in North Carolina
had more generous, patriotic, public
spirited men like them.
