wood, who was magician, had
just completed a profitable tour of
the South American states. At his
last appearance in Venezuela. a pri-
vate performance before President
Castro, the president presented
Miss Wood with a beautiful neck
lace of pearls.
When they took passage for Pro-
gresso on a Mexican tugboat, Wood
carried $4,000 in bank notes and
baggage worth $4,000, together
with diamonds worth $4,000. The
boat was lost en- route.
Details Of the wreck are vague
and contradictory. The tugboat,
Canuto Bulnes, is supposed to have
foundered off Laguna, and three of
the crew are reported to have
drowned with the Woods. 1t is
claimed the survivors have told con-
fiicting stories.
Hastings Clawson, who was
Woods manager, just returned
from Mexico, believes it was a case
of murder. After his steamer had
left Progresso he was handed a
telegram which stated that the
schooner Nicholas, which the tug
had in tow, had turned up safely.
He believes Wood was murdered
and the tug abandoned, after having
been scuttled, to give FEASIBILITY
to the story.
Graeber was in the West Indies
at the time of the tragedy. He had
expected to marry Miss Wood inn
mediately upon her return.

Shoot Tax Election Carries.

The election held Monday to
vote on an additional tax Of ten
cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property for graded
school purposes resulted in the
tax being voted by 9 votes. Only
IL votes were actually cast
against the tax, but the law gov
erning school tax elections re-
quires that every registered vot-
er in a precinct be counted
against a tax who does not vote.
This raises the tax from 20 cents
to 80 cents and assures a school
of eight and a half months. And
the tax is now as low as the tax
of any other town the size of
Lumberton which has similar
graded school advantages.
