HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN STANLY COUNTY.
Prominent Merchant of Richfield Held Up by
-Four Masked Men Who Secured About $40.

Special to THE Waterman.
Richfeld, Sept. 15.-On last
Friday night, A. NJ. Wilhelm, a
prominent merchant of Rlchfeld,
Stanly County, N. c., upon re-
turning home after a social call,
when only about one and one-half
miles from his home in Richfeld,
was held up at pistol points.
Mr.. Wilhelm was driving a double
team and was taken by sudden
surprise, when from behind the
bushes Oh either side of the road,
suddenly loaped two men, selling
his horses, while at the same time,
two other men flashed four pistols
in his face, demanding him to
surrender. Mr.. Wilhelm was en-
armed, but had he been, it would
have been to no avail. His pock-
cts we're then searched, aud the
contents were soon in the hands
of the four robbers. Forum
ately the amount contained in
the purse was. small. He states
50 far as he has knowledge, there
was something like So or $40 IN
his pockets. This with some other
little ARTICLES that were in his
possession was the reward of the
robbers. His hat, which was a
new Stetson, was removed from
his head, but by request of one of
the robbers was replaced. Mr..
states that all four of
the men were masked, and their
conversation was so low and limit
ed to such few words, that he is
not in a position to say as to whoth-
or not any Of the voices were
familiar. Strong efforts w-re
made to try to get some trace of
the robbers, but to no avail. It is
the general opinion that the
parties are of drifting character
who committed the outlaw.

LITTLE GIRL LOST.
Fell in With J. E. Tharpe and Was Final
ly Sent to Her Mother In Salisbury.

J. E. Tharpe had quite and in
teresting experience with a little
girl Friday. The child, about
eight years cid, walked into the
Bristol store Friday afternoon and
began crying. When questioned
she stated that she had been left
at the depot the night before by
her mother and after spending the
night with her aunt living IN
southwest Statesville she was sent
up town and got lost. Mr.. Tharpe
took charge of the child and TAX
ing her in a buggy undertook to
find the home of the aunt. The
child told many conflicting stories
about her plight and did not tell
Mr.: Tharpe that her mother was
III Salisbury until after he had
driven for more than two hours
and had made much inquiry in an
effort to locate the woman whom
the child said was her aunt.
When Mr.. Tharpe learned that
the waits name is Margaret How
ard and that her mother is Mrs.
W. T. Howard, of Salisbury, Mrs.
Howard was communicated with
over the telephone and it was
learned that the little girl be-
longed at the Barium Orphans
Home. The woman requested
chat the child be returned to the
home, but the daughter plead with
her mother to be allowed to re-
to Salisbury. Supt. Wake
field, of the Barium Home, was
also communicated with and he
that the child was in the
party of orphans who came to
Statewide to see the Gentry show,
aud while here she slipped away
from the others. The little girl
could not be persuaded to return
to the Barium Home Friday night
and when a gentleman volunteered
to take her to Salisbury Mr..
Tharpe let him do so.
While Mr.. Thare had the child
in the buggy seeking the aunt who
in her many stories, they
the wagons of orphans re-
turning to the Home. but the
teacher in charge did not recog-
nize the child in time to stop Mr..
Landmark.

STATE TREATING CASES,
Persons Bitten by Alleged Mad Dogs Being
Looked After at Raleigh.

Your correspondent spent some
time today with DR.. G. A.. Shore.
who is making quite a speciality
now of treating for the State per.
sons who have been bitten by mad
dogs. He has treated, or now has
under treatment, seventeen such
cases. The first came from Wake,
near Raleigh; Their two from Rock.
1ngham, two from Stokes, two
from Southport, two more from
Rockingham and six from Raleigh.
the latter having come in yester-
day and today. Four of the cases
came here by advice, of physicians
and in the other case DR.. Shore
made the diagnosis and test. He
has made twelve examinations of
dogs heads and not all of these
showed the disease positively, but
most of them did. Day before
yesterday and yesterday o dog here
bit a number of people. and the
six cases just in are all due to the
bite of this dog, which was killed
yesterday afternoon after a desper-
ate chase. DR.. Shore was in the
midst of his patients and was
treating a little boy who was bit
ten on the arm, and his sister,
aged 8, who was bitten while try
ing to defend him from the dog.
More cases will come in on &C.
count of the bite of this dog, and
DR.. Shore says that there is no
that the dog bit other dogs
and that it will require three or
four weeks for the disease to de-
in dogs so bitten. Each
patient is giving a three weeks
treatment, with hypodermic in
jectlons daily. Today a little boy
from Pineville finished his treat
ment and is all right. Two of
the patients are F. A. Clinton, of
Stokes county, end James Hadler,
Of Rockingham. They first
thought that the dog was sick and
had a bone il his throat. There
we're sores upon his hands, and he
hurried here. The dog which he
had been handling has hydropho-
bia.--Raleigh correspondence to

MUST LABEL ALL foTTLEs.
Law Touches Saloons as Well IS
Drug Stores.

II. F. Barnard, state food and drug
commissioner, says:
"The pure drug law requiring the
statement of alcohol and alkaloidal
contents to appear on the label OF all
medicinal preparations applies to
every one handling such goods,
whether it be the druggist grocer or
saloon keeper. There is large trade
at the saloons in gins, cordiafs BIT
ters. and tonics, which are sold apd
used for medicinal purposes, and
which claim TO cure dyspepsia, stom-
ach and liver troubles, etc. These
preparations are just as truly drugs
as if made up at Nhe pre- cription
counter of til" pharmacy, and must
be labeled with the alcohol content
Malt extracts, if made according to
the United States Pharmacopoeia,
should contain no alcoho, AS a mat
ter of fact, the so-called malt ex-
tracts, malt tonics and similar prep
arations sold in large quantities are
more truly heavy beers than malt ex,
tracts. They must therefor, berpaark-
ed with the amount of alcohol present
If they are sold as a medicine or tonic
