SWAMI FOUND
UNCONSCIOUS
Former Darlington Man on Street
Car Track at 0wesboro.
THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN
ROBBED AND PUT ON TRACK.

Greensboro, XIV, Dec. 4.--Was
j. L. Swami, of darlington, KY,
robbed and then placed on the
street car track to be killed by a
passing car or did he have an
epileptic fit. This is the ques-
ton the police and physicians are
attempting to solve, as the re-
suit of the finding of Swami on
the street car track on West
Second street last night.
With a so cent piece, a key
ring and his hat lying near him,
Swami was found near Jack Lam
casters grocery with his hea&-
living on the street car rail.
When found he was UNCONSCIOUS
and was in danger of being run
over by a car, and was suffering
from a blow on the head which
it is thought caused cOncussion
of the brain.
He was found by some men
who were passing down the
street and seeing and object "
ing on the rail made an lnvesti-
CATION, finding the body of
Swami. The police was notified
and upon arriving at the scene
found Swami had been struck
a terrific blow, or had fallen
striking his head against some
hard substance, as the blood was
issuing from his nose and he was
unconscious He was taken to
the city hospital.
Swami is a middle aged man,
of good appearance, and the in
dicatlons are that he was struck
on the head with some substance
and robbed, ana later placed on
the street car track TO avert sus-
plcion. The finding of the So
cent piece on the ground near
by lead the officers to believe
that. the thug" in his hurry
dropped the money with the KEY
ring and did not take time to re-
gain it. Swann's hat, which was
also lying close by had been
run over by buggy and he
would probably have been KILLED
by car bu. for the timely arri-
val of the passersby.

OF Especial Local Interest Be-
cause for Shriners' Band
and Patrol Benefit.
seST HOME TALENT ENTER
TAINMENT EVER PRODUCED

a.; Band will Parade Tomorrow
Afternoon.

The entertainment" Ethiopia, "
which was produced ut Madison
vile Tuesday night and will be
pot ON here aj Temple Theater
Friday night, for the benefit
of the Shriners' patrol and band,
is of especial interest 20 the PEG
pie of Burlington, for the reason
that the SINNERS Band, under
leadership of Dan M. Evans, is
composed entirely of Darlington
talent and the Patrol has sever
al members from among the en-
thusiastic Darlington mem bers
of Rizpah Temple. And es
pecially, also, are Darlington
folks interested in this enter
talnment because it is delight
full and refreshing, with musical
numbers and acting throughout.
The jacksonville papers speak
in high terms OF the show as il
was put on there, one OF the
special features being IA stunt by
an darlington man, Frank d..
Rash, who sang an Irish song
ehtitled "Mumbo Jumbo Jijiboc
Of j. O'Shea", in manner to
bring q vigorous encore. 1t was
desired by the management in
the first place that a number OF
harrington people take part and
in fact, a number of them were
put in the original east, includ
ing Mrs.. w. 5. McGary, Mr..
md Mrs. Jas. II. Rash, DR.. A.
y. Sisk, II. l.. Browning, DIR.
W. X. Nisbet, +. j. Phillips.
Bot these all had to decline be-
cause it Twas impractical for
them to attend rehearsals night
after night at jacksonville, as
would have been necessary.
The show is declared, by those
who saw it, to be the best home
talent entertainment ever VT
messed at Madisonville, and will
NO doubt be given "A large hear
ing here. The cast includes the
very best jacksonville talent.
The advance sale of reserved
seats began several DAYS ago and
has prog ressed encouraeingly.
One feature that Madlsonville
did ROt witness, but that Will be
put on here, is tumbhng aud
acrobatic stunt by members OF
the Darlington Athletic Club,
Messrs. Billy Fugate, Carl I'm

MADE ADMINISTRATOR
OF HUSBANDS ESTATE

An interesting case came up in
probate court this week when Gustav A.
Mathews of Napoleon. N. D.. was re-
moved by order of Judge van der Las
from the enthusiastically of the estate
of the late Henry G. Mathews, who was
killed in the North Coats Limited wreck
at Allard, Mont. August 10, 1908. In
the same order Wilhelmina Mathews,
widow of the deceased. was appointed
as administrative of the estate and was
also made guardian of her two-year-old
daughter.
The change was brought because of
the former administrators refusal to
sign the vouchers for the S.. 600,
damages which the N. P. wa ready to
turn over to Mrs. Mathews. The former
administrator held that the DAMAGES
allowed Mrs. Mathews were a part of
the estate and should pass through his
hands.
Mrs. Mathews will receive the S., 600
without any further delay and her share
of the estate in due time. No CHARGES
were made against the former admins
traitor and the change was simply q
matter of form which practically allows
q woman a preference right to be made
administrative of her deceased nus
bands estate.
Nj. Mathews and his attorney from
Napoleon were present at the hearing.
Mrs. Mathews was represented by w. F.
