A HOLLY SPRINGS MERCHANT
ROBBED.
Was Held Up Near Raleigh Monday
Afternoon and Relieved of 500.

T. B. Holt, a prominent merchant
of Holly Springs, this county, was
held up and robbed of $4OO Monday
evening in a lonely section of road
two and a half miles from Raleigh
by two highwaymen-a negro and a
white man. The negro stopped his
horse and the white man presented
his revolver and ordered: "Your
money or your life" Holt gave up
an envelop containing $500 that he
carried in his coat pocket and the
highwaymen made off with this with
out searching him further. They left
In his hip-pocket a purse which con-
tanned 800 cash and a quantity of
checks.
Holt came on to Raleigh and re-
ported the robbery, but says he can
not identify the highwaymen, as they
were well disguised and masked.

THE SMITH MURDER TRIAL.
Earl Cotton and Tim HoiderfieId Are
Bound Over To Court

The preliminary hearing in the
Smith murder mystery was concIud-
ed before Police Badger Tuesday
morning. The reporter will not go
into the tedious details, but will give
a summary OF the case DIR. Smith.
a travelling man, of Richmond, Va.
was found dead in the rock quarry.
near Raleigh, Sunday, November
18th. He had been drugged and
robbed OF $50 in money, a diamond
ring. pin and a watch the night
previous. One theory is that Smith
was robbed AID then murdered
while others are of the opinion that
he fell into the rock quarry after he
was drugged and robbed.
The evidence before the court
showed that Smith had been drink
ing heavily Saturday and went into
Earl Cotton's cafe In East Raleigh
Saturday night of November 18th
and went into a back room. In the
room at the time was Earl Cotton
and Tim Holderfield. Soon after
wards a carriage was ordered. In
the meantime Red" Hopkins, an en-
ployee of the restaurant, had gone
out and returned with a bottle of
chloroform. 1t appears that Smith
was then drugged and robbed and
put into carriage and driven to the
rock quarry where he was left to his
fate, or was either thrown into the
quarry. The watch and diamond ring
were afterwards found at a negro
woman's house where she had buried
them. A witness swore that Cotton
sent him to the negro woman with
the articles for safe-keeping. The
Police Justice bound Cotton and Hol-
derfield over to Wake County Court
and Red" Hopkins was held as a
| witness.
