Miss Mcmahon 10 the orty office of its
kind in a city Of the first class of the
state that is held by a woman. Such,
hawcver, is the case. Miss Mcmahon
won the appointment by efficient and
faithful services thru a long period ar

cause it is in recognition of duties well
performed.
She has been in the employ of the
city in the clerks office, first as steno-
Shapher and in more recent years as
deputy city clerk, for nine years. She
soon became so thoroughly familiar
with the run OF the business affairs OF
the office and Of the duties of the city
officials that she had coached success
sive city clerks in their work and has
assisted new councilmen in their city
affairs.
Miss Mcmahon is an Iowa girl, hav-
ing been born at Plymouth. Her par
ents came 10 this city from Waterloo
twenty-one years ago last October.
Miss Mcmahon was graduated from st.
Mary's institute with the class OF 1902.
She entered the employ Of the city in
1910. Miss Mcmahon lives with her
widowed mother. Mrs. Margaret Nc

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS.

work Monday morning, Solicitor Henry
representing the state, Mr. Frank An
derson of Greenville acting as official
stenographer. vice H. Thomas, resign
ed. and the other court officials IN
their accustomed places. AS Is usually
the case, there was some little delay
in getting the work of the court under
way Monday morning because 'f the
necessity for organization and the
deliberations of the grand jury over
bills of indictment. Judge Moore made
no general charge to the grand jury
because of the fact that a general
charge had already been delivered
them at a former term of court.
Solicitor Henry took occasion to call
the attention of the grand jury to the
fact that since time immemorial II had
been the custom to try at the July
term only cases of defendants VINO
were in Jail; q custom which ne
thought should be abandoned and su g
Sested that the grand jury make
recommendations to that effect. He
called attention of the grand jury 10
the fact that the liquor situation In
York county was becoming serious ana
suggested the grand jury to take an
pSssible steps toward abolishing the
evil He commended the work OF the

- Sheriff Quinn and Constable Peters
had quite lively little chase in York
Vile, Saturday morning after negro
whom they wanted to tell about the
ownership Of a cow which he wanted
to sell for song; and they now have
in possession a valuable cow without
any clue to the owner, while the negro
is in parts unknown. Early Saturday
morning a negro driving a cow stopped
at the store Of Nivens Bros, on Char
lotte Street and offered to sell Mr.. b
NJ. Nivens the cow he was driving for
$50. Mr.. Nivens not desiring to buy at
that price, the negro appeared willing
to sell for almost any price, at the
same time telling several conflicting
tales about the ,ow. Suspecting that
lnoT6 was SOIllSIIlLS "iOii5f 49,
Nivens finally offered the negro $40
for the COW but explained that the
seller would have to accompany him UP
town to get the money, since he did
not have it available at the store. In
the meantime the sheriff had been
notified and met the negro who i'm
mediately took to flight. There was
a lively chase along the G. & NV.
railroad tracks but the negro easily
outdistanced his pursuers and has
been seen no more. Officers immedl-
ately got in communication with sur
rounding points with a view to as
certaining the ownership Of the COW;
but their efforts thus far have proved
fruitless.
