LANCASTER.
News, July Is: A tenant house on
Mr.. ]. w. knights plantation in the
Creek section was destroyed by fire
last Friday morning about 8 o'clock
The occupant Frances Starnes, lost all
Of her household effects. The build
ing was a new one, having but recent
ly been completed. There was no in
surance. The fire. it is thought, was
of accidental origin, occurring while
all hands were in the field at work,
and was probably started from fire
left in the fire place. Mrs. Matte
Adams, wife Of Mr.. James T. Adams,
died Monday night at her home four
miles north of Lancaster, at the
Draffin place. She has been in failing
health for several months, but the
immediate cause of death was an at
tack of gastritis. She was most eS-
timable lady, of kind and gentle ma
ture, and was greatly beloved by all
who knew her. She was a consistent
member of the A. r. P. church. Mrs.
Adams was a daughter of the late
James w. Adams and was about 81
wears of age. A bold robbery was
committed at Vanwyck last Thursday
night, the store of Messrs. Massey &
Hyatt being broken into and num-
Der of articles stolen. The express
office is in the store and it was also
robbed. the thief or thieves taking
three 2-gallon jugs of liquor. A con-
siderable quantity Of the stolen goods
was found Friday under the Metho-
dist church by the pastor, the Rev. {.
P. Carter, the articles thus found
consisting Of two jugs Of whisky, two
large sides of bacon, five or six can
vased hams, lot canned goods, boxes
of cigars and cattle powders. AS the
church is about 800 yards from the
store, ii is probable that more than
one party was engaged in the robbery.
Sheriff Hunter spent Friday and Fri
day night at Vanwyck, investigating
the affair. He and others watched
the church under which the goods
were concealed all Friday night, but
no one appeared to attempt to remove
the things. While no arrests have yet
been made, every effort is being made
to identify the guilty parties.
