 The cost of the building will be in the neighborhood of $10,000. John Swan, wanted on a charge of murdcring two men in Alaska in the year 1901, has been arrested in South | Africa for killing a man there. Swan

 letter tothe editor of the Seward Gate way he is credited with saying: "I desire to inform you that l must de-
 cline to allow my name to be used as possible candidate for delegate to Congres. I am frank to confess that
 in view of the fact that Alaska has elected two jokes and one would be
 gladiator to Congress, thought there miphtbc show for me. But my
 friends inform mo that l am not a gladiator nor am I sufficient joke
 to land the plum, and the people will probably want real delegate this time. so ] must decline.'
 John Sheehy, passenger on board
 the steamer Jefferson, stepped out of his bunk on dark morning in Oct | ober, last, when he heard the break
 fast gong and put his foot into a tub of hot water which had ben set | alongside the bunk. Sheehy claims
 that by the time he had fully a. l wakened, he found that his fot had been practically cooked. Now he is sueing the company owning the lief
 ferson for $1,S25.OO, claiming that his
 fot is permanently crippled. Sheehy it appears from the complaint, was greatly interested when he heard the breakfast gong, and in attempting to
 get to the table in a hurry, fell an
 easy prey to the lurking tub of boil ing water. What might have hap
 pened to him if it had been dinner time instead of just breakfast, com- plainant sayeth not.

LIFE OF HUMAN FLY SAVED. 4
Heroism of Fellow-Workman Pre-
vents Death of Patrick Eustice.

Chicago, H., June 29.-One of the
human flies, whose agility and lack
of nerves make sky-scrapers possible,
lost his balance to-day and toppled
from the twentieth story of the new
Heisen Building.
Ordinarily the foregoing statement
would complete the story, but not so
in the case of Patrick Eustice, for
there was a hero at hand in the per-
son of John Murray, and Eustice
proably will be at work again to-mor-
row.
Eustice toppled from beam, just
as scores Of other structural iron
workers, and some of his companions
did not even turn their heads to see
the mangled form which their minds
conJured up as lying on the pave
ment below.
Murray was working on the nine
teenth floor, and saw Eustice fall. He
reached far out, and grasped the fall
ing man by his tough workingman' s
blouse. He was not able to hold
the weight, but he gave the descend
ing body swing inward, and the lat
ter landed in the eighteenth floor on
a pair. of cross-beams. He was
bruised, but that was ALL Murray
looked down and saw that all was
we'll, and resumed riveting.

BUY MONUMENTS BEFOREHAND.
Two Aged Citizens, of IredelI Coun-
ty, Have Provided Their Monu-
mentS.

Statesville Landmark
How would you like to haul out
your own monument and keep it in
your home until your death? That
is what an aged and wealthy North
Iredell farmer is going to do. In
September, 1909, Mr.. John w. Reav-
is, of North Iredell, accompanied by
his wife, called at the Cooper Marble
Works here and and after selecting
a pretty monument, pulled a big
roll of greenback from his pocket,
paid the price of the stone and told
Manager Warner to keep the monu-
ment until he tied and then place
it at his grave. The Coopers are
now arranging to move their States
Vile business to their main yards in
week and told the marble people
that he would be in with his wagon
and haul the monument to his home
where he will keep it until his body
occupies the grave which it is to
marke: 1t was his first intention to
nave IUe aus w I'll LII IhC
graves Of both himself and wife, but
on his recent visit to the yards Mr..
Reavis said that his wife desired a
monument of her own and would call
to select it. John w. Reavis, Born
November 10, $780," has already
been cut on the monument and after
it has been placed at the grave the
marble people are under contract to
chisel the date Of death on the stone.
Some months ago Mr.. ]. A.
league who lived near the Caldwell
and Alexander County line, between
Taylorsville and Lenoir, bought a
monument from the Cooper yards
here and had his name and the date
of his birth, March 6, 1881, inscrib-
ed on it. He was to have taken the
monument to his home during this
month, with the understanding that
at his death it would be placed at

reached the boatlandlng. She turn
ed toward a dog. a homely little
a1ongrel, that had followed her.
Rags. so back TO the house," she
commanded. sharply. Il will no;
have you sneakiag about after me. :"
Rags skunk out OF sight.
If he were only like Fido"- Her
voice broke 1t seemed TO her just
then that Eags was 4 type OF her
present life. Fido of her happy
Southern home-how happy she had
not realized until the sudden death
of both parents had changed every
hing In the world TO her.
She loosened a boat that swung 1T
The pier and sprang in. She knew
how TO row, and had spent many
pleasant hours on the lake near her
fathers plantation. She gave no
thought to the added element OF cur
rent in the river.
AS she turned her boat Rags ap-
peared, and running to the edge OF
the wharf he gave leap that
brought him painting down beside
her. She was much annoyed, but de-
cided to let him remain, as she did
not wish to go back to shore, and was
not hard-hearted enough to throw
him into the water, though he could
have easily found his way out.
Della had not been long enough at
her uncle's prairie farm to fall into
the ways of the household, and con-
seQuently felt herself i'll at ease, al
though both uncle and aunt spared
no pains to make everything pleasant
for their little orphou niece.
This morning she had gone to her
room to write letter to her big col
lege brother, but the fresh morning
air had tempted her, and walking out
she had spied the boat. Now she
glided downstream, under the bridge
and through a narrow space between
willows that leaned far out from
either bank.
AS she turned the boat, she real
lied for the first time something OF
the force of the current, and then
although she was putting forth an eff
fort, the boat seemed to be standing
still. Then, by a great exertion, she
forced the boat upstream into the
narrow pass between the willows
Here she could not use her oars free
ly, and she found herself slipping
downstream again. Before she could
gain control of it, the boat swung
around, end for end. To add to her
discomfort Rags began to bark, as
though he knew all was not right.
Once and again she righted the
boat and forced it between the will
lows, only to have the hooking wa
tiers swirl her around. At last, ex-
hausted, she stopped trying to row
and the boat whirled even farther
about, so that the bow lodged against
sunken log, and she was helpless
to push off from it.
Rage gave one loud bark Of dis
tress as Della sank down in the boat,

Rock Pile Will Be
Started Saturday

Work.

Under the supervision Of Ed Stout, ten
petty criminals, who have been sentenced
to the rock pile. will begin their labors
Saturday morning. Stout was sworn in as
deputy sheriff Friday morning and will
assume his duties as director general OF
the rock pile brigade.
Though the rock pile has been ready for
guests for more than a week. hitch be-
tween the street cleaning department and
the city engineers department as to who
would supervise. has delayed labor. The
city engineer finally agreed to look after
the rock pile and asked for a man to do the
heavy work.
Stout, who has been superintendent OF
the street cleaning gang. was delegated the
duties and will work under the direction OF
the city engineer.
The street cleaning gang will be elimi-
mated as far as inmates OF the Jail are
concerned. Therefore 1t has been Gus
tomary to work these fellows on the street.
but hereafter it will be the rock pile that
