Short Weight Ice,
Complaints had been received from
consumers of ice, that short weight
was being given them. 1t was the
consensus of opinion Of members
present that this was the fault Of
the drivers not Of the dealers, and
tle feeling was expressed that con,
sumers should demand that the
drivers weigh tae Ice supplied them.
II was stated by one member that he
had weighed a piece of ice sold to
him for 30 pounds and it was only sc
pounds: he demanded of the driver
that he bring the remainder TO make
up 50 pounds, aud it was done. Every
wagon has a scale, as required by

Case Against King Dropped.

Greenwood, Oct. 26.-The case
against young B. F. King; Jr., son OF
B. F. King, of Coronaca, has been
dropped by the federal authorities.
A formal order to that effect was
signed by Judge Brawley in Green
Vile this week. King will return
soon to San Francisco to complete
his term of enlistment in the navy,
about IA months.
King was arrested in San Francisco
some months ago, at the instigation
of Postoffice Inspector Gregory, in
connection with charges growing out
of the organization of the old Metro
politan Loan and Trust company of
Greenwood, of which w. H. Nichols
was the head. Nichols, who was To-
Gated in Oklahoma, has just been
tried and convicted out there of a
fraudulent scheme in selling oil
stoves for fruit growers. Nichols
who was operating under the name of
Jackson in Oklahoma and who denied
that he had ever been to Greenwood
finally admitted on trial that he had
been here and that his real name
was w. j. Nichols.

Peculiar Accidents.

Greensboro, N. c., Oct. 29.-As a
result of peculiar accidents near
Winston-Salem to-day, two children
are dead, the fathers of the victims
in each instance being the unwilling
accessories.
At Plafftown, J. w. Bennet while
gathering his crop of Irish potatoes,
threw one about 20 feet, intending
for it to land in basket, but 1t
struck his four-year-old boy over the
heart. The lad began crying, dropped
to the ground and died before ply
sicians could be summoned.
At point nearby and at the same
hour, Viola, four-year-old daughter
of j. H. Everhart, had her skull
crushed by getting her head caught
between the hub of a wagon wheel
and a barn, the father, who was driv-
ing the wagon, did not know the
child was near until he heard the pc
culiar grinding sound of the bones
crushing. No sound ever came from
the silent and sickening form that
his investigation revealed.

Injured in Automobile Wreck.

Winnsboro, Oct. 27.-In an excit-
ing automomible race here this after
noon w. J. Annette, a prominent
young business man, was seriously In
iured when his car was overturned,
falling upon him. The unfortunate
car was a roadster belonging to Mr..
Annette. 1t was driven by E. G.
Gwaltney.
The accident happened at the home
stretch of the track on Congress
street, directly in front of J. NJ. Jen-
nings's home. The right rear whell
struck a rock and the machine skid
ded and was torn to pieces. The car
turned several somersaults, landing
with Mr.. Annette under the car and
throwing Mr.. Gwaltney several feet
from the car. Mr.. Gwaltney escaped
without a scratch. When the over
turned car was lifted Mr.. Annette was
found to be suffering very painfully
from internal injuries, the seriousness
of which the attendant physicians
have been unable so far to determine.
This was the only accident to mar
the fair which closed tonight.

A Numerous Indian.

A member o. the Canadian mount
ed police force tells a good story of
the cleverness Of an Indian. One
snowy morning band Of Crees
awoke to find that about a dozen of
their ponies had been stolen during
the night. Pursuit was Immediately
organized, and in the course of an
hour the trail was struck. The band
followed it for thirty miles or more,
till it entered a river, and headed for
a little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the trees.
and an opening apparently the mouth
of a cave was in plain view. Pres
emily a Piegan Indian showed him
self in front Of the opening. He was
in war-paint and at his heels was a
dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees, who were lying low, and began
growing and barking. The Piegan
looked up, glanced about him mo-
ment, and then instantly entered the
cave. In about ten seconds another
Piegan came round the rocks and also
went in; then another, and another,
and another. The Crees lay silently
in the bushes, counting, till upward
of fifty Piegans had come round the
rocks and gone into the cave, and
still they kept coming. Each carried
a rifle.
When at last seventy men had dis
appeared in the cave, the supersti-
tious and cautious Crees concluded
that the evil spirit had something to
do with H. So thoroughly were they
filled with this idea that even when
reenforcements arrived, which was in
a few hours, they were 1eluctant to
attack the island.
That night, however, one Cree, less
credulous than the others, crossed
over the ice to investigate. On ap-
preaching the supposed cave, he
found that it was no cave at all, but
simply an opening leading some ten
feet into the rock, where it made a
turn and came out on the other side.
There was the remnant of single
campfire, the ponies were gone, and
not an Indian was in sight. The
clever Piegan thief by making the
circuit of the passage and the end Of
the island seventy times had so de-
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape

formed and, although the wounds are
considered serious, Capt. Gelston is
reported tonight resting well, while

Why She Was Scared.

A special to the Augusta Chronicle,
describing the fearful wreck and
death in a head-on collision near
Mccormick recently, says: 1.-The
greatest cry of pain, and claim of in
jury, was put up by negro woman,
Jenny Payne, of Greenwood. She
was supposed to be badly injured,
and had a large grip, of which she
took much care during the whole
time. She was in the car next to
the baggage car, and her car was
hurt so little that less than IS re-
raired it, and it was on another trip
to Greenwood last night. When an
examination was made. of her and
her baggage to gain some identifl-
cation of her, the grip was opened
and found to be full of bottled liquor.
She was proved to be hurt about the
least of all, and it is thought to have
been more scared at having her
liquor discovered than anything
else."

Finds Himself Through Fine.

Police Judge McGannon looked
down from his bench the other morn
ing upon a well-dressed man, who
was charged with intoxication and
whose case was marked special, "
says the Cleveland Leader.

judge.
'Well, sir, judge, it's funny, but

smile.
Maybe fine of S. will help you

non, and the court also smiled.
''Now, judge you'e fined man

"Well, be a good Samaritan now
and pay the strangers fine"

Judge, II fined the stranger IS, and

"By George!" exclaimed the pris-
oner, that makes me think, my
name is Brown. Yes, sir, that's it;
and let me say it's worth $50 to find
myself, even if I am in the company
of a more or less disreputable stran-
ger"
And, stepping up to the clerk 5
desk, the man tossed down a $40
bill and walked away.
