Marrying Squire a Fighter.
Pineville special of Tuesday, to
Charlotte Chronicle: Mr. Jack Kimball
Of this vicinity, and our marrying
squire" w. o. Bales, engaged in a
fight at the depot one day last week.
1t seems that bad blood had been be-
tween them for quite a number OF
years, and on the day they met Mr..
Kimball had indulged in some talk
that the squire deeply resented, and as
Mr.. Kimball alighted from the
o'clock down train, he noticed Mr.
Bales in the crowd that was waiting
at the depot, and called out, Hello,
Willard" to which Mr.. Bales replied
by knocking him down. He continued
to pound him around and drag him
about until Mr.. Kimball who was a
mass Of blood and bruises, managed to
get a large knife open and started to
cut at Mr.. Bales, when at that oppor-
tune moment our lone policeman, Mr
Crump, made his appearance and took
both men in charge. They were tried
before Mayor Fisher who fined Squire
Bales $3.50 and Mr.. Kimball $3.50. In
telligence reached the village yester-
day, that Mr.. Kimbalrs wounds are
quite serious, but he sent Mr.. Bales a
message to the effect that he, Mr.
Bales, must prepare to die. as he
(KimbalD had it 'in for him." and ex-
pected to make finish Of him. Mr..
Bales has the sympathy of the ma
jority Of our people, for one time in
his checkered career, in the affair
The day on which the trouble culci-
mated the crowd stood quietly by and
let the fight proceed.

Tampered With the Switches.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday:
A little negro boy from the country,
9 years DID,, who was bringing some
to the city to sell Monday
came very nearly playing
havoc with the shifting engine and
crew. The negro was coming from
the direction Of Leslie on the main
line of the Charleston division and
when he had gotten inside Of the yard
limits he came across several switches.
Perhaps unconscious Of the deed he
was about to do, or perhaps for devil
ment, he set death trap for the
whole shifting crew. He turned every
switch that he came to and after do
ing so he stood alone in amazement
and saw the shifting engine with the
entire crew dash into one Of the open
switches. There were several cars
standing nearby on the siding and
within a few seconds, before the en-
gine could be gotten under control, 1t
ran into the cars and knocked them
about 800 feet down the track. Just
as the engine and the cars came In
contact the flagman and the brake
man, who were standing on top Of the
moving train, jumped for their lives.
They landed on the ground at rapid
rate and by the providence Of the AL
mighty the car upon which they had
been standing remained on the track,
although it seemed that it would fall
In upon them. Fortunately no one
was hurt in the collision but 1t was
indeed a narrow escape. The little ne
gro, whose name is Arthur Cloud,
was arrested by the police and placed
in the lookup. On account Of his
youth the railroad authorities have
been notified Of the occurrence and he
will be held in custody until the au-
thorities have been heard from.
