CHARGED WITH LARCESr.
Engineer Arrested for Picking up
Scrap Lumber. la

- -. A'"A-3 -
Scrap Lumber. f
]. L. Holden, a well known en-
gineer on the Southern road and
member of the brotherhood, was
before Justice of the Peace D.
E. Owens Tuesday on the
charge Of larceny. 1t proved
to be arather ''far fetched" case.
The defendant was discharged
and the prosecuting witness was
taxed with the cost, this amount
ling to $3.55. .... 49, i.
The case proved to be very
much to do about a small matter.
When it was rumored that an en-
gineer on the Southern road had
been arrested for larceny there
was at once a general interest in
the outcome of the matter. But
when the facts were learned the
interest was not at a very high
tilt.
The charge against Engineer
Holden was brought by the night
watchman for the Darlington
Lumber company. At least he
reported the matter to the officer
and on instructions he went be-
fore Justice Owens and the war
rant followed. The engineer was
not in town but word was sent
to him by a friend and he came
in yesterday to see what was
the charge. The trial followed
soon after this, ...-
Engineer Holden told his side
of the matter as follows: That
he was on a sidetrack waiting
for some train to pass and the
fires was cleaned. In doing this
the fires were almost extinguish-
ed. Engineer Holden went out
on the side of the track and gath
cred up an armful of scraps and
email pieces Of lumber in order
to start his fire going again. He
| bad gathered the necessary tim
ber and vas returning to the cab
when he was halted by a man
who, had d sun. AT first, Sc
he says, he thought Il was a JS&.te
some one was trying to play on
him but when the man. said;
Stop or I will shoot you," he
stopped: Then the man. who was
the watckaafi asked him where
he was carrying the scraps and
lumber and when toh he directed
him to throw it doWf, This the
engineer did, after he had Offer:
ed to pay for it or to leave the
matter to the watchman to send
a bill to the company.
Tuesday the engineer told
his story and the watchman told
his side of the affair. The watch
man said that the engineer cursed
him while the engineer said that
he never cursed in his life. Both
sides had attorneys to look after
the matter and the trial of the
unusual case occupied sometime.
In the course Of the argument
the attorney for the engineer
showed that according to the laws
Of the state that the engineer.
had a right to take all wood and
fuel that was necessary and that
the road was responsible and
should pay. It was also shown
that much of the lumber of the
company is stored on the railroad
property and in the course Of the
argument the counsel gave the
company notice to move off the
property.
The trial of the case attracted
considerable attention. The
opinion of all was that Engineer
Holden should not be held to the
higher court for what he did.

Child Bwssd ID Bestl.

The little child Of Ed Lyon,
colored. who lives in Eass Dur
ham, was burned to death by the
clothing of the. child igniting
from an open fire place. The
child lived but a short while az
ter being burned.
The mother of the dead child
and several others of her child
rem were in the house when the
mother had occasion to 20 into
the yard to look after some du-
ties. In a moment she heard the
screams of the child and of the
other children. Rushing into
the house she found her youn, =
est child in flames and the
other children were trying to
extinguish the flames.
The mother of the child soon
smothered out the flames but it
was too late to save the life of
the little one. A physician was
summoned but in a short while
the child was dead. Il was liter
ally cooked from head TO foot.
Wednesday afternoon the in
terment of the child took place,
this being in the family burying
ground.

was accompanied by Sheriff

Austin's emaciated condition, she
rayed in the train and created
much excitement. A short dis
tance from Salisbury she jumped
up and pulled the signal cord
and stopped the train. Her con-
dition is said to have been caused
by religious enthusiasm.

LOGAN COUNTY
APPORTIONMENT.


Take Logan county as a sample Of
other portions OF the territory in rela-
ton TO the legislative apportionment:
She has two legislative districts and
az ccesse two members of the lower
house. District No | comprises the
townships OF Orlando Bismarck, Mar
shsll. Oak View, Rose Hill. Mulhall,
Lawrie, Woodland, Crescent, Cedar,
iron Mound. Spring Creek, Seward
and Springer, IA townships while all
the balance Of the county, including
the whole of the city OF Guthrie with
its tremendous Republican majority,
and Iowa township with nearly 300
negro majority comprises district
No, Q
The convention wouldn't stoop to
the undignifed position, as the Repub-
lican districting commission did, Of
digging out of the heart Of the city Of
Guthrie a narrow strip and tumbling II
over into the country in order 10 make
the 25th aud 26th districts solidly Re-
Publican IN the constitutional conven-
tion. The same vein OF fairness runs
through the whole apportionment EN-
bracing all sections Of both territories.
II the Republicans can't elect their
representative In district TAO, with
more than an even chance TO elect
their candidate in district No. One,
they ought TO go ont Of business.

FAITH THAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN

Despite everything that sensational
magazines may say, the women of the
United States continue TO have faith in
Peruna.
These women know a great deal more
about Peruna than the editors who have,
for selfish purposes, written against it.
These women have tried Peruna in
their families. They have takon it
themselves. They know it will help
them.
They have Slffered from various all
ments, and Peruna has come to their re.
lief, even when the doctors failed TO
euro them.
Such women cannot be convinced by
any editorial spasm that their favorite
household remedy is humbug.
Peruna goes right on in It's conquest
over disease. It's fame is spreading all
over the earth.
Especially among American women
is Peruna beloved household remedy.
II is entirely useless for anyone to try
to dissuade thcm from the results Of
their own experience.
