WAR is ON IN HENDERsONy1LLE.
The Sheriff and Chief Police Both
Figure in Slight ARRAYS.


Figure in Slight ARRAYS.
The European war spirit has broken
out in Hendersonville.
During the past week a number OF
people were seized with warning
spirit and therefore went to war.
About the first in line was Chief of
Police Otis Powers. The chief had his
Veracity questioned He had been
working mighty hard in an effort to
uncover some evidence concerning the
St John fire. The subject would irri-
tate him, especially if some one would
come along and try to cover up tracks
and put a great big question mark
after the chiefs truth-telling qualities.
There is some question as to who oc-
cupied the hotel The chief had the
matter we'll fixed in his mind too well
! to suddenly change It. The chief was
asked to turn over his memory,
refresh it or do something that
would make it act somewhat to
the contrary. One word led to another
and finally the chief is said to have
asked the man who approached him
If he meant to call him a
liar. Instead of a positive no" a
roundabout answer is said to have
been issued and the chief couldn't stand
it any longer so gave a roundabout
jeff Willard sort of reply in the form
of a-slap in the face in front of the
Justus' pharmacy. He is said to
! have spinned around a few times and
about the time he stopped turning and
witnessing new brilliant stars in his
sudden and painful revolution two or
three other officers were on the scene
and interveaed. And the chiefs mem
/ oTy yet rings clear about the CONFER
sation said to have taken place.
Sheriff Drake was about next in line
and his turn came on Saturday morn
ing, which was bad day for fighting
since several similar "tstaTs" are said
to have performed. in Hand
Pink Case is said to have taken' RE
early start Saturday morning and
wanted full-handed Justice right il
the temple of Justice where the sheriff
was holding forth. Case is said to
have politely and formally informed
the sheriff that he (Case) had come
to give him a good whipping. The
sheriff dismissed the matter or at least
tried to, and didn't pay much atten-
ton to Case, but as the former pro
ceeded into the clerks office Cease is
said to have cut away at the sheriff
A little scufhe ensued but no serious
damage was done. for friends inter
/ vened.
w. H Bangs also got it into his sys-
ten to do the unusual and some fellow
made him SO mad that he just boiied
over, couldn't hold himself still any
longer nor control his physica
strength, so struck away with pail
OF pliers and is said to have badly
wounded some mans nose who was
passing through the city.

According to story told by Mr.. Nix
he went to his stable this morning to
feed and found that mule which he
more than 500 had been taken, the
halter having been cut, Tracing the
tracks down through the corn field he
discovered the man also stole a buggy
from Mr. Kerlee, who lives nearby
! They notified Sheriff Mitchell and a
watch was kept for the man. 1t was
not dong until Cox showed up with a
mule and buggy and was arrested. II
is understood that he was trying to
sell the outfit when arrested.
Sheriff Mitchell visited Black Noun
tain this morning in order, to investi-
gate rumor that had been received
! to the effect that Cox had a confeder
ate waiting there for him to sell the
mule and buggy and they were to leave
the state.

STRONG PLEA In BEHALF OF
KEEPING OPEN THE LIBRARY.

Editor, Democrat:
May I use small space in your pa
per to ask if it is absolutely necessary
for our library to be closed for the
greater part of each week? 1t is with
surprise that learn this is under cpn-
sideration.
The closing of the library for large
part of the week will not only ifton-
yenience the people of our city, but it
will greatly handicap the work of our
High school. We have no school IL
brary. We have only such reference
books as the teachers supply. Our
students have been using the refer
ence books in the library and for this
reason teachers and pupils beg thai
the City Council keep the Library open
as before.

COLUMBIA PARK SPRING STARTS
TYPHOID FEVER; WATER IMPURE.
Analysis of Water by State Health De-
partment Finds That Spring is
Filled With Typhoid Germs.

The Columbia Park spring, which
has been furnishing water for several
families in that section, is contamina-
ted and it is believed that three cases
of TYPHOID fever originated from the
use of this water and that two deaths
have been the result.
DR.. j. Frank Crawford, city health
officer, sent bottle of the water 10
the State Health Department in Sep
tember and the analysis proved that
the water contained typhoid germs.
f. P. Freeze of the Freeze-Bacon Hos
iery mill in Columbia park near the
spring was notified and he followed
the Instructions of the health officer
in placing lime in the spring and drain
ing it and digging bitches to take care
of surface water close to the spring
1t is not known what condition the wa
ter is in at this time
DR.. Crawford gave notice of the i'm
purity of the water and in order to
avoid trouble offered without cost to
.vEccinate those who had been using the
water so as to immune them from
typhoid fever This offer is UNDER
stood to have been declined by the
residents of the park, many of whom
have been using the water instead cf
that provided by the city.
2 DR.. Crawford states that he is con-
fiGent that three cases of typhoid fever
and two deaths are traceab1e, to the
use of the water, possible one or two
cases having originated through lack
of precautiou in the first case, which
doubtless started from the use of the
water.
Since the purity of the water is now
unknown although the spring has been
treated, DIR. Crawford advises against
tho further use Of this and other spring
water in the city.
