WATERFRONT FIRE
DAMAGES TUGBOAT
WEDNESDAY, NIGHT

A fire of undetermined origin,
which was discovered in the gal
ley of the tugboat Fisher of the
M. L. Daniels Oil Co. near mid
night Wednesday, resulted in
damage of some $4,000 while the
boat was moored at the Manteo
dock. Max Mann, crewman of the
boat, had been at the pool room,
and on leaving, smelled smoke,
went to investigate, and attempt
ed to put out the fire himself,
he reported, but then called the
fire department, and its prompt
and efficient work saved the
boat.
The 65-ft. tug will have to be
taken to Norfolk for repairs. M.
L. Daniels, Jr., firm manager
said only partial insurance is in
effect. AS there was not supposed
to be any fire in the vessels
stoves, the origin is a puzzle.
There is a possibility that loiter-
ers had been aboard the vessel.
The boat is used for towing oil
tank barges to Carolina oil dis
tributing plants served by the
Daniels company.

CANCER GROUP IN
HYDE PLANNING
NEW CAMPAIGN

To learn how and why certain
individuals develop cancer and
others do not, scientists in cancer
research need to know how people
live: where they work, what they
eat and drink, what their perso-
nal habits are, where they live
and what kind of air they breathe,
their illnesses and symptoms of
illness, their family background.
All these are necessary for the
long-range study of the influence
of such environmental factors in
the development of this disease.
Volunteer researchers will canvas
several hundred geographically
selected counties in 20 states.
For the Hyde County group of
volunteer researchers Mrs. John
H. Swindell is chairman. The re-
searchers for Swan Quarter, Mrs.

WHITE YOUTH CUT
WHILE VISITING IN
NEGRO LOCALITY

A slash made by a knife, some
eight inches long on the right
wrist of Charles Gregory, 10 of
Norfolk was sewed up by DR.. w.
w. Harvey, Jr. in the early morn
ing hours Sunday, and the Sher-
ifs office is looking for an UNI
known negro who is alleged. to
have done the cutting, and whose
handiwork is of the school attrib-
uted to Willie Spencer, who with
Reuben Smith, were recently put
under suspended sentences in as
sault cases in the house of Lou
vada Latham, who shortly after
ward became Mrs. Smith.
Her story is that Gregory
came to her house with John
Beck of Rodanthe, and she did
not want them to remain in what
she thought was not a proper
condition because she wanted no
trouble, for fear her new husband
might get into court again and
have to do time. The men then
gathered in the road, and appar-
emily an affray started between
colored and white, and the up
shot was cut wrist for Gregory.
One version is that Beck had gone
out with his friend to investi-
gate the reason his brother Hora-
ito Beck got his eyes BACKED two
nights earlier at this place.
Gregory was in court some
months ago, along with Horatio
Beck, and Mike Tuggle of Char
lotte, and he was charged at the
time with having in his possession
a concealed pistol, engaging in an
ARRAY and creating disturbance
in public place, at Mays Head.
Horatio Beck was charged with
engaging in an affray; Tuggle
was charged with carrying con-
cealed weapon, and assaulting
Charlie Gregory. The court ac-
cepted a mol pros with leave in all
three cases, and allowed the de-
PENDANTS to pay court costs which
are said to have been put up en-
tirely by Tuggle.
There has been a lot Of trouble

vada Latham Smiths house west
of Manteo, and much gossip con

youths.
