RUM0RS FLY FAST
IN BUS MYSTERY
Two Police Here Who Met
Bus Said Man Was Hurt
When They Took Him.

A new turn in the mysterious in
juries to Eugene Flamm New York
chef, who was taken from south
bound Atlantic Greyhound bus here
carly Sunday morning, when rumors
here had it that the man was injured
after he was taken from the bus in
Henderson.
Chief of Police J H. Langston stat
cd today that Policemen w. N.
Strickland and E. w. Ellis met the
bus a few hundred feet past the police
station on Garrett street and carried
Flemm to the hospital
Police Strickland said he and Ellis
met the bus with the police car. and
widh the aid of the bus driver and an
other man, lifted Flemm from the
bus. Strickland said the injured
man made no sound at all, and was
apparently unconscious at the time.
He said he sat on the back seat of the
police car and held the man in his
arms, while Ellis drove to the hospi-
tai There, the officers assisted in
getting the man onto a stretcher and
up the hospital elevator.
Chief Langston said he accepts the
officers version of the mystery, and
feels sure that any injuries the man
sustained, they were given to him
while a passenger on the bus.
A phone call from a doctor in South
Hill asked officers to meet the bus.
When Strickland and Ellis met the
bus, Strickland today quoted the driv-
or as saying that the man chad been
raisir' hell' on the way down. He
was "as helpless as a new born babe"
when taken off here, Strickland re-
lated.
Investigations are being pushed on
many sides today to determine how
and why the man sustained a frac'
tured skull, conclusion of the brain
and a broken left arm on his trip to
the southland

Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-01-03

For the first time in exactly two
weeks Henderson and this section to-
day enjoyed a weather combination
of fair and warm as the precedent
making protractcd severe cold spell
was lifted.
A hard rain that lasted from mid
day Thursday Until early morning
hours TODAY was accompanied by a
rast risine mercury that combined to
wash the SLOW off in hurry. And
along with it was one of the denseSt
fogs ever seen here. Street lights were
barely visible more than half block
or so distant. and motor traffic was
reduced to a minimum, and that
which did move went at snairs pace
for safety and to avoid collisions or
other accidents.
Rarely has a big snow disappear
cd so fast as that of last night. Seven
inches fell last Sunday on top of
about half of a four-inch fall the pre-
vious Sunday, and frigid tempera-
lures far below the freezing point
kept that on the ground with scarce
ly any melting at all until Wednesday.
On that day for the first time, with
two exceptions. since Friday, Deem
Der 20, thermometers rose to a max
imum above freezing, and the snow
started moving very slowly. The
rapid ascent of the mercury and the
heavy rain of Thursday made quick

work of carting the snow away, now
ever. When most people went to bed
last night there was four or five
inches of snow undcrfoot When they
rot up this morning, they were greet
cd by a bright warm sun and no
snow was in evidence where ex-
cept in spots where it banked in
drifts. The sidewalk ant paved
streete quickly dried out to normal
during the day.
The rainfall during Thursday and
Thursday light was officially report
ed Icy the Weather Bureau station
here today at PA inches. The mini
mum temperature during the night
was 33 degrees, or higher than the
maximum had been for two weeks,
with the few exceptions related, and
the maximum temperature in the
forenoon was in the low COS, with
rising tendencies for the afternoo
Passing of the snow and the return
of the sunshine and warmer weather
was one of the most welcome things
of the New Year SO far.

YEARS VOLUME OF
BUSINESS S45,273
Biggest Annual Total in the
History of Henderson Of
flee is Attained.
TO IMPROVE SERVICES
Change MOI Effective. However. Until
Start Of New Government Fiscal
Year on First of
Next July

With RECEIPTS of $5.494.22 i'll Dc
ccmbcr for the largest volume for
that month in its history. with one
exception, the Henderson post office
has bounced back into the first class
rating. and will qualify for consid-
cradle expansion in its service to the
public by reason of that fact. Post
master j. r. league today announc-
cd the DECEMBER receipts ran the
years total up to $45,27365 for the
largest annual volume the office ever
had.
The transfer to a first class office
will not take place until the start
of the governments fiscal year on
July /. 1896. but the handsome show
ing made by the office is relied on as
a good talking point in applying for
increased facilities at the office inn
mcdiately. and it is considered prob
able that the business community will
exert itself to that end at once.
The December volume represented
an increase of slightly more than 20
percent over the same month in 1881
when the business done was $t.S31.91.
The years total compares with SILL
215.O3 in the calendar year 1884. ac-
cording to compila tons made today.
Never before has the local office
had such a big December business.
except in December. $780, when the
total volume ran to $6.144.OS. 1t was
the biggest single year in the history
of the office, the largest previous
total being in 1923. when the years
husincss amounted to $4421392
Formerly. a post office was requir-
cd to do an annual volume of $4,000
or better to rate in the first class.
After thrcc-ccnt letter postage be-
came effective. the Post Office Dc
partmcnt required that 80 percent Of
the total volume of business done
would be the BASIS for figuring the
rating. Ninety percent of the post Of
flee revenues last year would be APP
proximatcly $4,000. which would put
the local office safely over the goal.
Nearly every month Of 1895 show
ed an increase over the correspond
ing month of 1884 and there was
every hope that the years total would
be sufficiently large to rate the office
in the first class. Additional help and
longer hours will probably be award
ed the local office as the result of its
1881 record

TO Glass Routine

After a two weeks holiday over the
Christmas-New Year season, white
and colored schools of Henderson and
Vance county are scheduled to re
sumo next Monday. The schools had
been due to open on Thursday of this
week, but the further postponement
resulted from the snow that fell last
Sunday, and which was still on the
ground, impeding the operation Of
school buses in the rural sections in
transporting children to and from
school.
With virtually all Of the snow now
gone, and with a bright sun and
higher temperatures, it was expected
that the roads would have been suf-
ficiently dried out to permit the I'M
interrupted operation of all school
