Kinston, August 2.-Dr. w. B.. Muir

The physician and his driver 'glimpsed
a heifer coming down a o a on

machine to avoid a collisi> The
heifer didn't put on brake at al,
though, and ran straight for the au-
tOmObile, crashing into it head first.
The shock rendered her non-cOmbat-
ant and the crazed heifer walked to
the roadside and lay down. The
lamps of the automobile were broken
and the hood denied. DR.. Murphy
diagnosed the animals trouble as one
peculiar to cattle at this season.

Beginning Saturday, rural mail
carriers from Farmville and Snow

fastest mail schedule between the two

Heretofore mail from Farmville for
the Greene county seat has been sc t
via one of half a dozen other towns
in the neighborhoOd and was two
days in transit. A similar arrange
ment has been suggested for the
service from Hookerton to Greene
county points. Although HOOkerton
is only six miles from Snow Hill, it
now requires from two days to three
to send a letter or parcel from one to
the other, and Snow Hill people de-
clares their mail service is as quick
only as it was several gener-tions
ago.

HALPIN MAKES ADMISSION IN
RANDOLPH GUN CASE
The discovery of two different
types of bullets in the wounds of
each of the men hit in the Randolph
st. battle has led Capt HaIpin to ad-
nit that perhaps there was another
man-an outsider-in the fight.
The finding of lead bullets in the
bodies of the men forced the admis-
sion from Halpin in view of the fact
that all of the principals in the bat
tie had aUtomatics.
Bertsche and Spira were booked on
charges Of assault to commit murder
after their attorney, Ben Short,
threatened habeas corpus action.
The police will try to force a hearing
of the case today in Judge New
comer's court, while Hoyne will ask
a continuance pending further inves-
tigation.
Bertsche and Spira are expected to
file counter charges against the two
detectives, Egan and Monaghan, for
attempted murder.
