AFFIDAVIT "LOST":
MYSTERY DEEP ONE

From the files in the office of coun-
ty clerk George Matthews on Friday
afternoon was removed an affidavit,
charging William F. Brown, a we'll
known colored second hand dealer
with embeZzling a small sum, but who
removed it the county officials do not
know, and up to two o'clock this af-
ternoon the affidavit was still missing.
The sheriff did not have it in his Of
flee.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd
was certain he had not taken it and
County clerk. George Matthews did not
know who had it. The prosecuting at
torney and other county officials could
not remember on what information,
or by whom furnished. the affidavit
was based.
Ordinary state papers are supposed
to be a profound secret until an ar.
rest is made. 1t was stated in the
clerks office that some attorney had
taken the lost affidavit, but the at
torney can not be located. Whoever
skipped with the information was not
compelled to leave a receipt as is the
ordinary custom in removing court
papers. Brown was arrested upon a
warrant by the sheriff and his deputy
as he stepped from a Fairview car
last night about 7:15 o'clock. a So far
he has not furnished bond. Brown was
in trouble in civil procedure some
weeks ago, when sued by Mrs. Pearl
Carpenter and husband to recover a
judgment on furniture which the COM
plainants had stored with Brown.

Dver Two Inches of Rain
Was Registered Early this
Morning, but Disastrous
Flood Is Averted.
BRIDGE AT ECONOMY
WAS CARRIED AWAY
Some Farms Along the Riv-
er and Small Streams Were
Slightly Damaged, but To-
tai Loss Is Small.

The transforms which broke over
tRichmond and surrounding country
last night resulted in some damage,
although it is not to be compared
with the rain and wind storm in Au-
gust which caused a great deal of loss
to local merchants. The rainfall as
measured by the cooperative meteor
illogical observer at the local weather
bureau was two and twenty-cight one
hundredths inches The measure was
taken at Z o'clock this morning Those
at the weather bureau state that this
amount of rainfall is very unusual and
is considered heavy.
The Whitewater river is several feet
higher than usual, the small tributa-
ries emptying into it having swollen
above their banks. The lowlands touch
ing the Nolansfork and Greensboro
streams were flooded and staiked corn
was washed away. In some places the
rail fences were destroyed, so great
was the force OF the swollen streams
Unlike previous storms, last night s
deluge did little damage to properties
in Happy Hollow. Heretofore during
heavy storms residents there have
been forced to leave their homes and
seek shelter in houses ON the sur.

Telephone service was damaged to
a certain extent by the storm and hne.
