MISS MARY JOSEY DROWNED.
Body Almost Frozen When Found
There is Theory That She Com.
mitted Suicide.

Salisbury, n. c., Jan. 11.-Miss
Mary Josey, aged sixty-five, a we'll
known resident of Faith, Rowan
County, was drowned in small
stream near her home early Sunday
morning, the body was almost frozen
when found by neighbors two hours
after the tragedy. Miss Josey left
home at about o'clock Sunday
morning and from remarks made to
members of the family, it is believed
she ended her own life, though ii
seems to have been a most difficult
task for her to drown herself in the
where her body was found, but there
is no evidence of foul play.

GEORGIA NIGHT RIDERS SHOOT

Pieces by the Marauders.

Jonesboro. Ga, Jan. 9.-An out
of-the way section on Flint river was
invaded last night by so-called nigh;
riders, the dwellings OF several ne
groes being literally shot to pieces.
For several nights lately such law
lessness has prevailed TO a large ex-

county. The supposed night riders
would approach a dwelling in the
dead hours of the night, masked and
heavily armed, it is reported and
without any definite aim pour a vol
ley of lead into the building and
then quickly disappear. AS far as Is
known none has been injured
Active steps will at once be taken te
stop the lawlessness.

The number of one dollar bills is
so great that they are being packed
up in bales like hay in Reidsville
Nobody ever saw as many before
They clog up money drawers, choke
cash registers, bulge in the pockets
If it keeps up, one will be forced to
load his money on whee1barrow
when he goes to market, as they do
in China, and other places. You may
think this is overdrawn, but you are
solemnly assured that the half has
not been told. Dollar bills stick out
of the roofs and windows of the

from? Some fellow says they fol-

Molly BaWn" was Fine.

molly Bawn," as. given at the
City Opera House last night, by the
Nixon & Co. players, was a fine
play-one of the kind of dramas that
have heart interest and enlists the
sympathy Of the audience from start
to finish.
The play has deep plot, and the
home SCIENCES are really touching;
with final ending that is pleasing
to everybody.
The Nixon & Co. players stage
the play nicely and the cast of
characters is in very capable hands.
Margaret Minton, as Eleanor
Massereene," was very loveable and
played her part in an artistic
manner.
Helen Wilson as SARAH" although
taking minor part, proved very
capable actress and the audience
would like to have seen more of
her.
Ted Lutrell looked and acted
the part of a hero as Howard
Tremain." Mr.. Lutrell is a good
singer and one of the best actors
who has appeared on the Bemid il
stage.
The balance of the company were
very good and the play moved along
with smoothness that indicated
the excellent ability of the company.
Masters orchestra added to the
pleasures of the evening by render.
ing several classical selections prior
to the raising of the curtain and
between the acts.
The orchestra is getting better
every day, and last nights playing
was of such a character that Pro.
fessor Masten has every reason to
feel proud of his musicians.
The Instrumentation of the orches
ira was as follows: Prof. Harry
Masten (leader), violin; Harry Cell

The right-of-way through the
City of Bemidji is yet to be deter
mined upon and the ground yet
to be purchased, although the city
council has vacated portion of the
Nymore road so as to furnish right
of-way to the river between the
lakes.
Leaving the City of Bemidji, and
going westward, the 500 will
parallel the Great Northern to Grass
lake, some five miles west of Be-
midi; and from that point the road
will be continued in a northwesterly
direction towards Plum mer, in as
nearly an airline route as the topo-
graphical condition of the country
will permit.
1t is certain that, from Grass
lake, the line will be run through the
Towns of Eckles and Buzzle to
Four-Legged lake, in Clearwater
county, thence on to a point near
Pine lake, crossing the Clearwater
river at some point which is yet to
be definitely determined upon, but
will undoubtedly be in the Town of
Buzzle.
1.-THE right-of-wayis not furnished
in Bemidji, it is asserted, and very
positively, that the 500 road will not
be built into either Cass Lake or
Bemidji, but will 90 north of Cass
lake and follow ing a general north
westerly direction, pass to the north
of Lake Bemidji, anywhere from one
to te miles, and continue the route
surveyed by William Evarts and his
corps of surveyors to the Clearwater
river, in Buzzle township.
