FUNERAL TOOK PLACE SUNDAY
LARGELY ATTENDED.

After an illness Of several weeks,
lat the residence OF her son on Rox-
boro street. Mrs. M. Bane, the mother
of Mr.. M. Bane, one Of Durham's we'll
known merchants, died last Friday
night, the funeral taking place Sum
day. Mrs. Bane had come to this
country from Europe some five or six
years ago and until the early part
of this year had enjoyed good health.
A complication of diseases began to
make itself felt about that time and
every effort was made to win back her
health but in vain. She was about
sixty-five years of age and leaves four
sons, Messrs. Morris, Aaron, Abram
and Harry Bane, and one daughter,
Mrs. A. Manikin, of Baltimore. The
burial took place in the Hebrew ceme-
terry Sunday and was largely attended
by numerous friends and relatives.
A noteworthy circumstances in con-
nection with the death of Mrs. Bane
is the fact that ON the day of her
burial message was received from
Baltimore telling of the death of her
sister, Mrs. Epstein, in that city early
Sunday morning. A third sister died
In Europe only three months ago,
making three deaths in one family,
all Of them sisters, within space OF
three months. An unusually sad in
cident In connection with the death of,
Mrs. Bane was the fact that one OF her
sons, Mr.. Aaron Bane, was al the time
absent In Florida on his bridal tour,
being hastily summoned from Tampa
to the sad scene. 1t was one OF the
saddest train of circumstances that
can we'll be imagined, and the numer-
GUS friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bane in
this city and elsewhere sympathize
with them deeply in their affiiction.

A Burning Prison

Henderson. March 6.--Quite a bit
Of excitement was created In the early
hours OF Saturday night when 1t was
learned that the town lookup was on
FIRE. Only one person occupied the
building. and he gave the alarm by
terrific yells. Had il not been for the
promptness Of the fire department the
flames would have proved fatal to the
prisoner. When the firemen broke
down the door with an axe they found
the building in full blaze and the oc-
cnpant about exhausted from the eff
fects OF dense smoke. He received
several severe burns on the hand.

BURGLARRED 4 HUG PEN
PoRkER LAID OUT IN PEN AND
DRESSED IN THE WOODS.

On last Friday night some unknown
person entered the hog-pen OF Mr.. w.
L. Umstead, who lives near the corpo-
rate limits of the city. and surrep-
titiously extracted therefrom one of
his fat porkers. The hog was knocked
In the head with hand-axe and car
ried some distance into the woods
nearby where it was dressed.
In the commission of all crimes, so
the detective stories run. there is left
some trace that will ultimately lead
to the criminal. In this case the fatal
trace was hat OF peculiar structure
which was left inside the pen. A
hand-axe was left also. but 1t had no
particular mark that would distin-
guish it from hundred other hand
axes In the neighborhood.
The problem Of the officers then was
to find parsonage who had been seen
with a hat similar to the one left at
the pen. In the first place the entire
white race was eliminated from the
search in that the hat evidently be-
longed to rogue Of color. In the
next place peculiar marks on the hat
confined the search to a colored rogue
who followed a certain trade or en-
gagged in certain kind of work. After
much sitting OF evidence and analyzing
Of circumstances chain of evidence
has been thrown around Thomas
Thompson, colored, and he was this
morning arrested on the charge Of
larceny. A number Of people have
testified that Thomas had worn hat
almost identically the same as that
left at the pen. and number OF other
circumstances point TO his guilt. He
is being held under ASSOC bond.
