Refuses to Give Road.

John E. Allen white man OF
Charlotte, was coming from Hamlet
to Rockingham Sunday afternoon,
driving a loaded truck. He refused
to give enough Of the road for a car
driven by Z. A. Harrill to pass, de
spite repeated blowing Of the Har-
rill car horn. Every time Harrill
attempted to pass, Allen would cut
in and block him. Harrill had a
warrant sworn out for him at Rock
inghain, and Squire Mullis heard
the matter Monday. Allen plead off,
and the magistrate finally let him
60 upon payment Of the costs.

Tampering With Switch.

Some miscreant evidently has a
spite against the Seaboard, or
against some particular engineer on
the Seaboard. Last week a switch.
in the Seaboard yard at Hamlet was
turned, this causing the fast passen-
ger train No. 2 to take to a siding
instead of keeping to the mainline.
Fortunately, no cars were on the
side-track, but No. ran for sew
eral hunded feet on Their wrong
track before it could be stopped. No
damage resulted.
On Tuesday night of this week a
switch was turned, and the switch
light thrown away, on the side-track
on the west end of the Hamlet
yards, some few hundred feet west
of the bridge that crosses the Sea-
board tracks at the Hamlet hos
pital No. 6, that passes Rocking
ham at II o'clock at night, was
thereby turned from the mainline
to the sidetrack with the result that
the engine plowed through six
empty freight cars before it could be
stopped. No one OH the train was
hurt. Bloodhounds were secured
and an effort made to trail the
scoundrel who tried to wreck the
train, but so far no arrest has been
made.

E. P. Covington is on his 15-day

clerk in the Rockingham postoffice.
Mr.. Covington has been in the post
office here for four years, and is now
entering the fifth grade, or year.
One of the fruits OF tive-years OF

seawell.Manship ARRAY.

Mayor Lowdermilk will Try the
Seawell-Manship affray case Friday
afternoon.at 4 O'Clock. AS near as
the Post-Dispatch can learn, the
facts seem to be as follows:
Terry Seawell and Stokes Man
ship, both young white men of the
town, had some misunderstanding in
regard TO the sales privileges for a
stand outside the circus grounds
last Friday, On Monday morning
about 10 o'clock Terry Seawell ap-
preached Manship on the plot in
front of the court house. What
words, if any, passed between the
two is not exactly known; at any
rate, Manship says Seawell-threw
pepper in his eyes and grabbed him,
and that he was forced to protect
himself by blindly slashing out with
pocket-knife that he was holding
in his hand at the time.
Seawell was cut on the back
across his side and on the wrist
his watch back was denied by the
knife. He went at once to doctor
who dressed his injuries and hi
was again on the streets in a lew
minutes apparently little the worse
for his experience. After the ARRAY
Manship went to Fox Drug store anG
had something put on his eyes t
ease them. The matter will b.
aired before the mayor Friday after
noon at o'clock.

Those people who have been foretell-
ng mild or moderate winter will find
c omfort in the following from the Bath
Times:
"There is considerable discussion
among local Gunners as to whether it is
to be a severe winter. The preponder-
ating opinion is that the winter will not
be unusually sewers and the gunners ex-
plain that to date very few white rabbits
have been killed, most Of them retaining
their summer furs and some of them Just
beginning to turn. They also cite the
fox,and the coon as other animals from
which they deduct their opinion. John
F. Conley, Oak street, who has shot four
coons and four foxes this season says
that the fur on all the animals was thin
and consequently he does not believe
there will be a rigorous winter"

Two Happy Beavers of Bar
Harbor, Maine

High rents, taxes, and upkeep of
streets, sidewalks, highways and bridges,
are no worriment to two residents of the
town OF Bar Harbor, at least, and the
problems of construction are easily solv-
ed by them, say those who know some
thing of the habits of the beaver of the
Lafayette Nat onal Park. The pair of
beaver, building a dam of $50 feet in
length, have raised the pond level at the
outflow of Eagle Lake some four or five
feet, have caused the otherwise practi-
caily dry meadow land to be flowed for
about IL or Is acres; and they have built
themselves a house which is absolutely
impregnable so far as attacks from with
out of wind and weather or other animals
are concerned.
| On dusk of last week, Warden Horace
Liscomb saw one of the builders on firm
| foundation sitting on log apparently en-
gagged in careful, pre- winter scrutiny of
his dwelling. For Just recently, the
beaver have been working away with
great zeal and have constructed what
looks to be a comfortable camouflage of
their hous', for over the solid, hive shap-
ed house, with its mud plaster making a
solid formation of the sticks and twigs
and logs, they have built another cover
ing, without the plastering or thinking.
! Whether or not this is a weather indics
ton remains for those learned in that
lore to find out; but at least the house
stands as if upon rock, built around a
tall cedar tree as a sort of column, and
rising, on a foundation of six or seven
feet across to an apex about IL feet
above. Needless to say, the egress and
inaress are by water and the amount of
peeled poplar, sunken, which one sees on
the canoe trip out from the dam to the
house shows foresight of winter needs for
| food
| The work Of the beaver is one of the
most interesting things in the Park.
| Sightseers who would like to find the
beaver house and see some of the work
of the animals may easily do so and in
terest in this aspect is welcomed by
rangers and officials. The beaver house
and the region are under surveillance also,
so that any disturbance of the work of
the beaver or destruction or unpermitted
use of canoes left there by workmen, will
not be allowed. Warden Horace Liscomb
of the State Department CO. operates in
| this protective work. And both he and
Park officials are taking and will take
every possible measure to protect the
carefully built home of the Park beaver.
