The Birds Had Flown.

Charlotte Observer: Sheriff ThOmaS
received information Saturday that a
still was in operation in this county IN
the Kings Creek neighborhood. Ac-
companied by Deputy LipscOmb he
proceeded to the place and found
where a distillery of considerable ca
pacity had been in operation, but the
appliances had all been torn out and
removed. The sheriff thinks that the
still had been torn out and removed
Saturday before he arrived on the
scene. 1t is passing strange how these
people so often get warning of an in
tended visit from the officials in time
to remove their apparatus.

Jail here last night to Yorkville, S. c..

is, charged with stealing a horse in
YorkVille on the Sd day of June, 1908,
and nothing had been heard from him
until Monday, when he was located at
Blewitt Falls, sixteen miles from here.

Jail to await the arrival Of officers from
Yorkville. On the day named above,
Smith, it is alleged, went to Lassiter
& Huntleys livery stable and hired a
horse and buggy to drive to Rock HILL
S. c. The team failing to return on
time, aroused the suspicion Of Mr.. Las
sitter, and he began to investigate at
once. He traced it within a few miles
Of Rock Hill, but from that day no
word has been heard from either Smith
or the team. A diligent search has
been going on all the time, and until a
few days ago, it seemed that all efforts
to locate either were to be fruitleSS

Boston, Mass, special of August 5,
to the Charlotte Observer: Chief In
spector Watts of police headquarters
has instructed all of his men to be on
the watch for two persons, man and
a woman, wanted for child abduction in
two different instances. The man is
wanted in Chicago and the woman Is
wanted in Rock Hill, S. C. Several of
the inspectors were sent out today to
search the lodging houses and hotels
in the hope of securing some trace or
the pair. The woman is Mrs. Almet-

crowned with gold. DR.. j. .. DelveauX'
60 years old, claiming to be a French

of his left hand are missing. He is or

urgent appeal to the local officers ask

for it is believed the child is with
them, and the child is what they de-
sire most to recover Chief PartloW
wrote that he felt inclined for several
excellent reasons to believe that the
woman is in Boston.
The Killing of Mr.. Williamson.
There is a most decided conviction
among those who knew the ,ate ].
Louis Williamson, that his recent
tragic death at the hands of J. II. Gar
riSon, was absolutely without juStitica-
ton The best reason that anybody
has been able to give for the killing,
is that Mr.. Garrison desired postpone
ment of the marriage which was to
have taken place next month, and Mr..
Williamson had succeeded in persuad-
ing his affianced to consent to an i'm
mediate marriage. These statements
from the Rock Hill Herald of WedneS
day are generally accepted as being
nearer the whole truth than anything
that has been previously printed: Mr..
Williamson arrived at the Garrison
home at Gray Court on Friday. That
night while he and Miss Garrison were
seated in the family parlor about II
o'clock, Mr. Garrison, 50 the report
goes, had occasion to go out on the
back piazza. Looking into the parlor
he saw the couple seated in two chairs
near a window, the arm of the young
man clasping his intended wife in a
fond embrace. At that very moment,
il is said, the young man was insisting
upon the young lady marrying him at
an earlier date than that already de-
cided upon. Mr.. Garrison went back
into the house after his gun. Going
into the yard he approached the win
dow where the couple was seated near
by and without a word of warning
stuck the barrel Of the shot gun to the
young mans left side and pulled the
trigger The affair is. indeed, a most
unfortunate one. There is. We believe,
scarcely a man living that has more
respect for a woman than Louis Will
hanson had. and as it has been truly
said, he would be the last man in the
world to offer a deliberate insult to
wOmanhOod and more especially to the
woman who held his affections. He
had about completed preparations to
operate part of his fathers farm and
it was known by all of his relatives
and intimate friends that he intended
marrying Miss Garrison. But alas,
the two lovers have been separated for
life"
