Of more than nifty years Mr., Carnallal

Mr.. Carnahan began his career q.
q t%elegrapher in 1861.
In the fall, Of 1872 the Northern Pa
cifc railway line had been completed
as far west as Bismarck, N. D. Mr.
Carnahan was asked to 60 to Bismarcl
and manage that Office, and In the
spring OF 1873 he went there and the
big chapter in the story Of his event
full life began. For it was while he
was at Bismarck that he sent to the
world the account Of the Custer mas
tsacre sonathe Little Big Horn In July
1876.
Fort Abraham Lincoln, the post Of
the.Sevehths cavalry andithe headquar
tiers of Brigadier General Custer, was
at Bismafck. Mr., Carnahan won
Brigadier General Clusters friendship
and he became the personal friend ot
the, officers at Lincoln. And go It was
that he and the post surgeon rode out
from the old. garrison with the Custer
! expedition when 1t started in June,
1876, to punish the Sioux. The surgeon
and the operator made the first twelve
miles with the Seventh cavalry. Then
they turned back with the last dis

from the Seventh cavalry and Its com.

An Expensive Hunt.

Last week four men from
Monroe went down into the
eastern part of South Carolina on
hunting expedition. They
went as the guests of a land
owner there who had purchased
hunting license for himself. If
they knew of the remodeled
1915 edition of the South Carolina
game law they thought the fact
that they were with their host
would protect them. Sad to re-
late such was not the case. The
game warden down there nabbed
them. They were compelled to
ante up SIS. 25 per each license
before they were let out on bond.
Then the bond for their appear
ance at court some time in the
future was fixed at $500.00. So
besides the usual expenses of
such trip which are never very
light, this trip has already cost
the sportsmen $515. 25 each. That
is if they jump the bond. If
they go back they've got to pay
a lawyer to keep them away
from sentence which has hun
dred dollar minimum. No. we
are not going to tell who they
are. -Waxhaw Enterprise.

FORT MILL YOUNG MAN
Died OF SuFFOCATION

In a fire which partly destroyed
a boarding house in Monroe,
N. c., last Thursday morning,
M. M. Coltharp, a Fort Mill
young man. was a victim of
suffocation. The building in
which Mr.. Coltharp met his
death was a two-stery brick
structure, the lower floor being
used by the Southern Express
company and the upper floor
as rooming house conducted by
a widow lady. Mr.. Coltharp,
who was a travelling representa-
of the Atlanta Journal, was
occupying a room on the second
floor of the express building.
Sometime during the early hours
of Thursday morning fire broke
out in one of the rear rooms of
the building and it is supposed
had made considerable headway,
filling the other rooms with
smoke. before the fact became
known to Mr.. Coltharp. From
the position and condition of the
body when found, it is supposed
the young man had attempted
to dress before leaving the build
ing. and had left his room and
entered a hallway where the
smoke was very dense. In
cropping about in the dark it
appeared that he ran against the
wall. knocking himself uncon-
scious, and suffocation causing
his death before assistance could
reach him. The remains were
brought to Pineville on the early
train Friday morning and the
interment was made in the
cemetery at Flint Hill church,
of which deceased was a men,
Der.
Mr.. Coltharp was about 35
years of age and unmarried. He
was a son of Mrs. Sarah Col
tharp. of the township, and was
reared in the Gold Hill section.
He is survived by his mother,
two brothers, Messrs. Henderson
Coltharp, of Charlotte; J. ].
Coltharp. of Fort Mill, and sew
eral sisters. Mr.. Coltharp was
a young man who was widely
known in this section. Up to a
year ago he held a position with
mercantile firm in this place
and through his courtesy and
gentlemanly conduct, had gained
the admiration of all. His many
friends hereabouts will be grieved
to learn of his untimely passing.

four members insist that the commits

finding the causes" of industrial I'M

swollen fortunes, monopolization of
land and natural resources, feudalism
in industry, etc.
The commons group" consists of
Commissioners Hartman, Ashton.
Weinstock and Ballard, the last three
representing employers. This group
declares the greatest cause for indus

administration of labor laws" and the
distrust of government con the part
