Mr.. Knox Windle had the misfor-
tune Of the Catawba rivers stealing
thirty-fi FIVE bushels Of wheat from MS
wagon Thursday, July 26th. The nat
was pushed from the lock by the tre-
mendous weight of the wagon and
mules on entering, which resulted In
the dragging in to the river the hind
wheels of the wagon. When deep wa
ter was reached the mules, wagon and
wheat went down. The coupling PIN
broke, and the mules with the front
half of the wagon gradually drifted
down stream. Mr.. Andrew Wilson,
who was with Mr.. Windle, deserves
special credit in that he bravely swan
after the mules and finally succeeded
in severing them from the wagon.
The mules then safely reached dry
land. The whole catastrophe was the
result of the carelessness Of the ferry
man, a negro, who had improperly
locked the fiat to the landing.
