Angle Having Hard Time.

T, M. Angle, former president
of the Dry Fork Distilling Com
pany, who, it was alleged, perpe-
trated revenue frauds on the gov
eminent to the extent of several
hunnred thousand dollars, arrived
in Danville from Atlanta, Ca, in
custody of a United States deputy
marshal, having been arrested af-
ter having completed a term of
thirteen months in the Federal
prison. Another case against An
gle in which he was sentenced for
four years in prison aud fined
$15, 900 is now pending before the
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Angle, while under sentence of
thirteen months in North Caro-
lima, was convicted in this city
last spring of revenue frauds in
connection with the Dry Fork
Company. He was out on a $780,
600 bond when the decision of the
North Carolina court was affirmed.
He will likely furnish a new
bond.

A Pistol Toter Informs on His Friend.

Last Friday when S. j. Law
renee, an employe of this office,
swore out a warrant against a ne
gro for retailing, John Raglan, an
employe of the power house of the
Salisbury electric plant, a fellow
boarder and supposed friend, be-
ing designated as a witness in the
case, became alarmed, and, wish
ing to retaliate, proceeded to in
form the officers of an occasion in
February when he saw Mr.. Law
renee with a pistol in his pocket.
The result of this was to the effect
chat Frank B. Cauble, captain of
the police force, felt that it was
his duty to have a warrant issued
for the arrest of Mr. Lawrence, for
| which there should be no blame.
The officer was performing his du-
ty, but he did not go far enough.
Mr.. Raglan borrowed said pistol
from Mr.. Lawrence and then car
ried it concealed himself, which
made him just as guilty as Mr..
Lawrence, and, such being the
facts, Raglan should have been in
cluded in the warrant and made a
co-defendant. Why this was not
done we are unable to explain.
Possibly this part of the case will
come up yet.
Mr.. Lawrence vas summoned to
appear before Judge Miller Satur-
day, but the case was continued
until Monday morning and was
the first case called. Lawrence
submitted, but was placed Oh the
stand and admitted the offense.
Raglan, who was first put or the
stand, made practically the same
statement, whereupon Judge Mil
Ter intimated that each we're equal
ly guilty. There being no charge
against Raglan. Lawrence was
taxed with a fine Of $3.50 and
the cost, which amounted to
$12.6O, making a total of $3.50.
Pretty heavy for toting a gun, but
such a fine as this ought to have a
tendency to break it up.

At least twenty thousand Armeni-

epidemic prevails in many sections.

Smyrna to-day for Hadjln to res

that he and a number of other

O. U. A. M, went to Peck school
house, in Cabarrus county, Satur-

Work has been resumed on the
new court house and jail will be

to be of pressed brick instead of

A Suggestion as to the Boone Cabin.

Fl. a. Swicegood, one of the
good citizens of Davie county, was
in Salisbury last week. He lives
near the location of the old home
place Of Daniel Boone, where it is
proposed to restore the cabin in
which Boone lived, in Davidson
county, and is much interested in
1t. He proposes to offer a log to
go in the cabin and thinks, if the
citizens interested would do like
wise, that there would be no diff
ficulty in completing the building
at an early day. He says that
the incident concerning the cut
ting of trees in Boone's back yard
and caused that worthy to go west,
occurred at Trading Ford, on the
Davidson side of the river.
