DESTROYED 1000 BOTTLES OF
LIQUOR.
Contraband Whiskey Emptied i'm the
French Board River at Asheville-
Men in Boats Get Some.


Asheville, N. c., June Twenty
two barrels, or approximately four
thousand bottles of intoxicants re-
Gently seized were consigned to the
historic water of the French Broad
River this morning from. the new
concrete bridge.
A large crowd of people went to
the scene to witness the affair, the
first of the kind in this section of the
State. Included in the crowd present
were between fifty and sixty ladies of
the w. c. T. u, wearing bows of
white ribbons pinned to their dresses.
Sergeant Mcdowell started the
work of destruction by hurting a bot
tie of champaign against the base of
! the great concrete pier at the waters
edge.
The ladies of the w. c. T. U. were
invited to participate in the destruc-
ton of the liquor, and they gladly
accepted. They picked the bottles
out of the barrels and threw them
down a great pier with unerring aim.
Not one Of the ladies failed to break
bottle. Some of the officers missed
but later the bottles were confiscated
and destroyed.
1t required forty-five minutes to
complete the work of destruction, af-
ter which several groups of photo
graphs Of the w. G. T. us were TAX.
en-.
The intoxicants destroyed included
whiskey, beer, wine and champagne
and it was worth many thousands OF
dollars as mercantile product.
Some men were under the bridge
in boats and picked up some of the
bottles that failed to break. An of
ficer tried to capture the men in the
boats, but the officers boat capsized
and the men escaped with the we,
goods. One boy seized a. good-sized
bottle and made his escape into the
woods.

He had a piece OF sugar cane stored
away, he would hold that in his mouth

on with his front paws and nibble the
cane. He ran up and told the robins.

slyly put his paws on the stick and be-
gan to gnaw it.
That tastes very NICE" he said as
he tasted the sugar. and soon he was
so interested in eating that he forgot
where he was and that he depended
upon the stick for safety. All at once,
snap went the stick, and although he
held on to an end with each paw. the
robins could not hold him, and they
saw him go whirling through the air

Anti-Suicide Fence
Planned by Yonkers

One of the strangest fences on record
is that which the common council OF
Yonkers, n. Y, has just ordered built
1t will be a fence to keep suicides
away.
Several times in recent years despon-
dent persons have shuffled OF the NOR
tai coil by leaping into the Fort Field
reservoir, one of the reservoirs supply
ing Yonkers with water. Sometimes the
bodies have been recovered quickly, but
on a few occasions the corpses were IN
the water for a day or so. The loss Of
water in draining the reservoir Is a
big item and is especially to be guarded
against since the city found 1t necessary
to husband every drop Of its supply
So the council has appropriated 5000 TO
build a wire netting fence around the
reservoir When II Is completed any one
on suicide bent will find a barrier nine
feet high between him and eternity
