MORE FIEND THAN HUMAN
Bad Criminal Tackled by Officers.
Held for Two Crimes.

High Point, n. c., October 1.-JI-
ousy, occasioned by the attentions OF
the negro iremen Of the wrecked
train TO his wife, is given as the mo-
tive for placing an iron on the track
which wrecked the Asneboro train
here Saturday night. William Nc
liver, colored, % a Of age, had
been wanted here for several days for
trying To kill his wife. Early Sunday
morning after the wreck he was ar
rested and az the trial this morning
was charged also with wrecking the
train. In the assault case he was
bound over in the sum Of $500 and in
the case against him for wrecking the
train he was committed 10 Jail with
out bail.
In the hearing today McIver be-
came sullen, as shown in his face and
every one of his voice as he asked
questions and answered queries vic
iously and threatingly. When ON the
stand in the assault case McIver
swore that if he hau a knife or a
pistol he would Immediately take his
own life. Man and wife glared at
each other and there was a brute
spirit and the desire for personal re-
sentiment apparent in his manner.
Just after the crowd had passed
from the u room an 4 while the de-
tails of the commitment were being
arranged by the magistrates, all of a
sudden there was a muttered curse,
and McIver sprang toward his wife
who was taking refuge behind the Of
flcers, and had advanced two steps
when the officers sprang upon him.
The negro fought with almost super
, human strength as he writhed in
their hands and rms. He was forced
down into a chair and was soon
, handcuffed. His violence broke forth
in the CLEAN of murder that shown
in his eyes. He tugged at the irons
| that held him awhile, and finally
| yielded to his restraint. The woman
whom he had called wife rushed af-
| frighted behind the protecting crowd
that was gathering again.
The frenzied prisoner was imme-
diately taken from the court room
under the grip of two oncers. Enroute
| to the jail he cursed the woman and
prayed for two minutes in which to
kill her. McIver has a record of hav-
ing killed a man in Greensboro and
has served sentences for other crimes,
There is evidence that the trial will
dvelop guilt. Saturday the negro had
shaved his moustache, altered his
cap and otherwise changed his looks.
He is said to have been jealous of the
negro fireman who was On the Inflated
train on account of the freman's al
legged attentions to his (McIver's)
wife. He is also said to have express
ed the wish that Officer Ahern, OF the
Southern Railway, had been on the
train and had been killed.-Special

Duke of Argyll. Treasure Hunter.

The Duke Of Argyll has joined the
treasure hunters who go down in div
ing bells, delving for Spanish gold be-
lieved to be secreted in the holds of
sunken vessels. Stranger yet is the
circumstances that the duke did not
come back empty handed, like most
everybody who las yer embarked in
operations at the bottom of the
sea. From the hulk of a Spanish gal
leon in Tobermory Bay, on the West
Highland coast, have just been recov-
cred a sixteenth century silver cup and
other valuable objects. These discov-
eris encourage the duke to believe that
the divers are now within measurable
distance of the hoard of doubloOns the
vessel is said to V had on board
when she was lost.
The head of the great house Of
Campbell is, as is generally known, far
from being a wealthy man, and there
would be rejoicing in Argylshire if a
big haul Of treasure trove enabled the
MacCallum More to take up his resi-
dence one more in his ancestral cas-
tie and keep state there as Of old.
