A SUNDAY MURDER.
Rowan man Ambushed and Shot Down
Without Warning.

Last Sunday morning about 8
O'Clock Ed Ashby shot and IN
stantly killed Dan Overcast, in
the southern part of Rowan coun-
ty close to the line of Cabarrus.
There are a. number OF stories as
ITO the events which eliminated in
the murder, and the exact facts
are hard to learn. From the most
reliable information which has
reached here, it appears that on
the morning of the tragedy Ashby
went to the house of a neighbor,
named Reese Pethel and informed
him that there were improper re-
lations existing between his, Peth-
el's wife, and Dam vercash. Ash
by told Pethel if he would ac-
company him to the woods he
would prove his assertion. Peth-
ell accompanied As1:by as request
ed, but the latter was, unable to
substantiate his statement. Peth-
ell then suggested that they see
Overcast and talk the matter over
with him. Mr.. and Mrs. Pethel
went to the home of Overcast,
Ashby having purposed stopping
at PetheI 8 home where it had
been agreed the conference should
be held. Ashby, however, went
beyond the Pethel place, to a
point between there and the home
of Overcast and concealed him.
self in the bushes near the road.
The Pethels had notified Over
cash in the meantime and he start
ed to the Pethel home. He came
to where Ashby was and was quite
close to him when the latter fired
on him with a shot gun, killing
him instantly. When the fatal
shot was fired the men we're so
near each other that Overcast fell
over Oh Ashby, covering him with
his blood. The murderer went
home, changed his clothes and
made his escape.
The above is, in substance, what
has been currently reported con-
corning the affair, but there are a
number of mysterious circumstau-
ces connected with it which can
not we'll be explained by one who
is not in possession of all the
facts, and it is quite evident there
is much behind this which the
public has not yet learned.
Sheriff Krlder was notified and
he repaired to the scene as soon as
possible, going by Rockwell to Sc
cure the aid of Mr.. Lyerly and
his bloodhounds. Despite all the
efforts made no clue to the MUIR
derer could be discovered and he
is still at large.
1t is stated that Ashby was a
hard character and was feared by
the people of the community in
which he lived. Several years
ago Ashby killed his father, using
the same gun with which he kill
ed Overcast.

PROVISIONS
FOR THE SICK
HANDSOME TRIBUTES TO sUF-
FERlNe HUMANITY
Costly Evidences of Our Peoples
BcnevoIence in Caring for Our
Own and the Sick of
the World

II was inevitable that with Los Angeles
and Southern California constituting one
great health resort there should be a
wide field for hospitals of the first class
These are provided, not only for the
sick and unfortunate among the rich and
we'll to do. but for the poor also. The
spirit OF beneyolence is ever abroad, and
its well doing includes the concrete as
well as the abstract. The charity
branches of the hospitals are always
severely taxed because OF the rcprehensi-
BILE practice which prevails in sections
where the climate is less favorable of
sending the sick and needy to Los An
geles. ostensibly to prolong their lives,
but really either TO get rid of them or
to bolster up false hopes.
Among the leading hospitals are the
California, Pacific, Sisters. Good Samari-
tan, Clara Barton and the Angelus. The
emergency and general hospital is suffi-
GENTLY indicated by its name and has
found large field of usefulness. The
Santa Fe Railroad company maintains
first class hospital for the use of it's
employees. and the county hospital for
the poor is always full. The Barlow

A great deal Of money is sent to Los
Angeles for investment in mines and
mining stock. On this score the Chamber
of Commerce has the following to, say:
Again; as to mining property. The
eastern states are at present flooded
with big advertisements of stock for sale
in Southern Nevada bonanza mines Some
of the absurdly exaggerated sta Elements
made in these advertisements should. of
themselves, be sufficient to dscredit
them with intelligent people. The min
ing region of Southern Nevada is one
of the richest in the world, and is pro-
ducing a large amount of bullion. Re-
member. however. that there is a vast
difference between a prospect and a
mine. A developed gold mine may be
worth millions of dollars. while a pros
pect may or may not be worth anything
at all.
ut not difficult thing for an east
erner to ascertain, through proper cham
nels, the standing of u person in South
ern California, who seeks to do busi-
ness with him. If he fails to do this,
through person of whom he knows
little, in a property of which he knows
less. he should not be surprised if. as
result. he finds that he has the ex-
perlence. and the other man the money.
This, however Is no more true of South
ern California than of any other part
of the world.

leo, 1t is, in a sense, clearing house

the money made from it is invested here.

California can safely depend for many
years to come.
1t is now pretty generally known that
rule too heavy for refining purposes. 1t
has solved the great problem of cheap
fuel. which was for years stumbling
block in the way of Southern Califor-
Mas development.
Three and half barrels of crude oil
will produce as much power as a tor
of coal, and it is handled much more
easily. All the railroad locomotives in
this part of the state are oil burners.
1t is the steamship fuel of the near fu-
ture. 1t has paved the way for manu-
factures that were prohibited in other
times because of the great cost of fuel.
4 Mr.. E. L.. Doheny Southern Cali
fornia oil king, has pointed out that
during the past fifteen years the average
cost of coal has been $15 ton. A bar
rel of oil used in place of coal would
save to the people about 1886. AS Cali
fornia has produced little coal, the en-
tire price of the coal displaced by oil
has been saved to the state. A large
amount of capital has been released for
other purposes, while the development
of the oil industry itself has given em-
ployment to thousands, and stimulated
many other branches of industry.

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. E. L. ST. Cyr and Grace

who is visiting with Mrs. ST. Cyr,
went out on the lake in boat last
Friday forenoon to catch some fish
They worked their way to above
where the Payette river leaves the
lake where the boat was caught by
the current and carried into the
river. Realizing the danger, Mrs.
ST. Cyr picked up the girl as they
passed under the bridge and boost
ed her up where she caught the
bridge and hung on. Mrs. ST. Cyr
at the same time called for assist
ance and several men who were in
the postofice responded. Mrs. St.Cyr
in lifting the girl to the bridge part
ed with the boat which she swan
after and caught. Chas. Arnold
and w. B. Boydstun plunged into
the river and brought the boat to
shore with Mrs. St. Cyr hanging to
it. Sheriff Leary had in the mean
time lifted the girl on to the bridge.
Sam Shaw entered the river lower
down to be ready in case of emer-
gency. None of the participants
are any the worse, and it is FORUM
ate they did not get into the rapids
a little lower down.

Low Rate on Grain

Weiser, June Is. Editor ADvo-
CATE.-Dear Sir: | understand
that a large amount of grain is
stored in Long valley. If you have
no objection will you call attention
in your next issue to the fact that
upon June 1, 'O7, this company put
in effect through rate from Ever
green to Boise or intermediate
points of % cents per 100 lbs upon
grain in car lots, and that the rate
from Evergreen to Weiser upon
grain in car lots is 20 cents per 100.
The rate to Boise is very low in
proportion and should enable part
les having large quantities of grain
in your vicinity to market it to ad-
vantage. There is some doubt as
to how long the low rate to Boise
will be continued in effect, there
fore shipments should be made at
an early date to get the benefit of
this. Yours very truly
