ODD RIVER ACCIDENT.
Fort Mill Citizen Recalls Incident
OF Days at Nation Ford

One of the oldest citizens of Fort
Mill a day or two ago was telling a
number of friends of an odd accl-
dent that occurred many years ago at
the old Nation ford on the Catawba
river between Fort Mill and Rock
Hill. "a North Carolina noun
taineer," said he, travelling with
his wife and baby, in two-horse
wagon, was on the way to some
point in this state. The party reached
Nation ford early one night and not
withstanding the fact that the man
was unfamiliar with the ford and the
river was considerably swollen he de-
cided to try to cross. He drove in and
was getting along all right it seemed
until the wagon had passed mid
stream. Then the horses became
frightened at a train passing over the
railroad bridge short distance below
the ferry. In spite of all he could do
it looked as if the wagon would be
upset in the river, so the man jumped
from his seat to go to the horses
heads to try to quiet them. About that
time the horses gave a lunge and
tilted the front end of the wagon up
ward in such way that the body slid
off into the stream, with the woman
and child still in it. The man heard
his wife scream, but before he could
20 to her assistance the body of the
wagon had foated off downstream,
carrying in it the woman and child.
The man made every effort to reach
his wife and child, but the water was
too deep below the railroad bridge for
him to follow them. The only thing
he could do was to listen to his wife's
cries for help.
FINALLY he decided to go back up
stream to see what had become of
his team and then he discovered the
horses standing about where he had
left them. Coming back to the Fort
Mill side of the river he gave the
alarm at the nearest house he could
find, but the night was we'll spent be-
fore a party could be organized to go
in search of the woman and child.
The next morning they were discov-
cred several miles below the ford,
where the wagon body had lodged on
rock in the river. Except for the
nervous state in which the narrowing
experience through which she had
just gone had left her, the woman
was uninjured as was baby, which
was too young to know what it was
about. Thre wagon body in which the
woman and child had taken the ride
down the river had been out in the
same rains which caused the rise in
the river and had became practically
water-tight, so there was no danger
Of it sinking" Fort Mill Times.

W|NNEMUCCA HAS
SUNSHINE AND RAIN
Weather Bureau Data Make 1t Quite
Clear That This Is Most De-
lightful Climate; One of
Few Points With Rain

Genealogical data compiled by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture show that at Winnie.
mucca, for the month of August, 8s
per cent of the possible sunshine
was recorded, while in the state the
average number of clear days was
only 18. The clear days in Winnie
mucca totaled %.
Winnemucca also ranked as one
of a few points with the average
number of days with precipitation
which was five, with total of 81
of an inch rainfall.
Minden, with only trace of rain
fall, registered the smallest guam
tity of moisture, while Searchlight,
located in the extreme southern part
of Clark county, scored 'high-water
mark with 500 inches of rain,
equally distributed throughout the
month, nine separate days deliver
ing water from the Clouds Inlay,
in our own Humboldt basin, had a
total rainfall of 2.93 inches during
the month, but as 2.70 of the total
fell during the afternoon of the
28th, the spread" OF moisture was
much better at Winnemucca than at
Inlay and more real benefit was
probably derived thereby, than I'm
lay received from her afternoons s
downpour.
The mean temperature in Winnie
mucca was 67.8, with the thermom-
eter registering, on the hottest day
of the month Aug. 8-95, while
the 18th was the coolest, the ther-
mometer scaling al degrees. The
average hourly velocity of the wind
was 81 miles, with the maximum
velocity registering so miles an
hour.
Humidity was more disagreeable
in the early morning hours than at
8 PM, the mean humidity at am.
being 62, while at pm. the aver
age was only 26.

TRAIN WRECK AND
ROBBERY PLANNED
Ties Piled On Main Line Of Western
Pacific We're Discovered Just
In Time to Prevent Wreck
of Passenger Train

Chief of Police X. G. Lamb i.
making strenuous efforts to locate
and bring to justice the perpetrator.
of a piece of criminal work that un
questionably had for its object the
wrecking of Western Pacific train
which was only averted as the resul,
of the sidetracking of a freight
train, at low rate of speed, in the
Red House yards at the midnight
hour Thursday night, to let pas
senger train No. l have track clear
ance.
In backing into the siding two
cars of the freight in charge of
Conductor Davis, were derailed and
that led to the discovery that the
switch had been thrown. This
prompted further investigation and
the finding of ties piled crosswise
of both main line and sidetrack
rails-obstructions premeditatedly
placed for the evident purpose of
wrecking one or more trains.
just what the Interior motive was
that inspired the criminal is not
known, of course, but the natural
supposition is that the miscreant or
miscreants had -bloodedly
planned the derailment and wreck
ing of the passengsS train with a
view to looting mail, express and
passengers.
In the course Of his Investigations
Chief of Police Lamb discovered
tracks made by some person with
abnormally large feet wearing shoes
or boots one of which made an i'm
print in the soil clearly showing that
it carried a half-sole, while the other
just as distinctly left track indi-
eating that the center of the sole
was worn entirely through.
Chief Lamb learned that strange
negro had been seen lettering in the
vicinity during the day and he is
making indefatigable efforts to To-
cate the negro who had to do with
the erection Of the woodpile, per-
suaded that if he is able tor round
up the African he will be in close
contact with bad actor. With this
idea in mind he has wired officers
all up and down the line.

.ELKO OFFICERS
RAID BOX CARS
Chink IL Discovered Running Opium
Joint and Operating Jackass
Still In Box Car Hsadquar.
ters, Was Busy. Bird

The Elko Free Press editor was
impressed into service Thursday
afternoon by officers to assist in
making a raid on a string of box
cars on the Moleen siding, twelve
miles west of Elko, when three
stills, two barrels of mash, some
jackass brandy, three opium pipes,
lamps, large quantity of yenshee,
etc., were captured, and the China
man, Wah Kee, was placed under
arrest and brought to town, two
charges being filed against him, one
for the violation Of the prohibition
laws and the other under the mar
cotic laws.
For some time it has been known
that opium was coming in from the
outside and few days ago Harry
Haley, federal narcotic inspector.
dropped in to follow up some clews.
He made several raids in town, but
was unable to locate the stuff, but
his trip to Moleen was rewarded by
the capture of large smoking out
fit, the quantity Of yenshee being
the largest he has ever taken in one
raid, but he was unable to locate
opium which had come in q few
days ago.
For the past month there has
been a gang of Chinese laborers
located at Moleen, the gang being
in charge of Wah Kee, a Chinaman
OF some sixty years of age, who oc-
cupies and uses two box cars, one
as his living quarters and the other
as a general store. He furnishes
the Chinese with everything they
need, and it seems provides them
with an opportunity to hit the Sc
dutive pipe, as the yenshee indicates
that there had been a lot of smok-
ing, there being two outfits COM
plete, with pipes, lamps, etc.
In making the search, the officers
found three stills and two barrels Of
mash and small quantity Of jack
ass brandy, all of which is now in
the custody of Judge Doughty. Wah
Kee was released on cash bail of
$500 and his preliminary trial is set
for tomorrow.-Elko Free Press.

shoulder blades.
The body when found, was lying
face down in quite large pool of
blood that had apparently flowed
from the mouth.
Newton Stanley, Jr., is a young
man, % years of age, of large
physique, without a criminal charac-
teristic manifest; and when visited
at the Jail this morning by a Silver
State man there was naught in his
actions to indicate that he is Ia
boring under the least suspense or
worry. To the contrary, he was
thoroughly composed and had the
bearing of a man with tranquil
mind-a man whose conscience is
not pricking him because of trans
gressions and who contemplates pos
sible future events without a SEM
blance of fear.
Attorney A. X. Wylie of Alturas,
who will have direct supervision of
any defense that it may be neces-
sary to make, if the preliminary
hearing, set for October IL, before
Justice of the Peace James Richie,
brings out testimony justifying the
justice to bind him over for trial
in the course of a chat with a Silver
State man, frankly admitted that he
had no personal acquaintance with
any of the parties involved in the
affair, but he said that since the
commission of the alleged crime he
has been informed, by men who
have had personal relations with the
Stanleys, that they bear splendid
regulations as law-abiding, esti-
mable citizens, industrious and
thrifty.
One thing sure: whatever may be
his inherent or cultivated propensi-
ties, Newton Stanley, Jr., has moth
ing in his face to mark him as a
cold-blooded murderer. 1t does not
attend, however, that he is not that
very thing. The most cherubic-
faced crook We ever came in contact
with was bootlegger who sold
prussic acid to his grandmother, the
bottle bearing Sunnybrook whis-
key label. You can't always tell
from looks, but if looks have any
bearing on the jurymen who may
try Newton Stanley, Jr., that big
boy is just as liable to draw an
award chrome, as a sentence of
guilt.
