.'1 .1 ; Cuncombe Mystery la Still Unsolved. Asheville, , Jan. 13. Mystery a """deep and apparently as unfathomable as at firs surrounds the identity of ' the man who assaulted the 15-year-. old girl of Amji'i Creek township ' several weeks ,: ago. - All efforts to learn his identity have failed and the : v mysterious, reason or motive 'for the : clipping of the girl's beautiful tresses is also much clouded as the identity of the one "who perpetrated the act. This occurred between the hours ; of 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning i- of December 8 while the girl w : alone at home, her father and broth i : er having gone to their work in dis ' tant fields. According to the state ments of the girl, the man entered through the rear entrance to the r ' house and attacked her as she was in the act of puting 15 cents in a purse . containing about ?3. He was describ ed as being a tall masked man of powerful build and having an oper knife in his hand, the blade of which she grasped, breaking it off close to ' the hilt. Jn doing so her hand was - badly cut across the fingers. ' She was then knocked to the floor and rendered unconscious, after which her hair, which was the pride of her father and the be at of the comma ity, was cut off close to her head. The brute who assaulted her escaped tak ing the hair and the en... as of the ; purse with him, and leaving no clue : behind him by which he imght be lo cated or identified. As soon as the girl regained her ; senses she gave the alarm and officers were summoned to the scene, but with no result other than to come away completely puzzled as to the identity of the man and his motive for the ' Thn print of a woman's shoe ill the mud at the roadside, which no t. ;.uia icouguize, gave origin to the theory that the supposed man had : been a woman dressed in man's cio h ing, but the girl was positive in ner statements 'that this could nt have : been the case. . A mule which was found to be miss ing from the barn of a farmer at the upper end of the township the next morning started the opinion that the assaliant had taken it to make ?ood his escape, but this idea was given up when the missing animal was found in a neighbor's field a few days later. However, the belief is still held that the man may have used the mule to escape and then turned it loose to wander back home or may have taken it from the stable with the idea of di verting attention from the real coarse hw .....j e utneii to escape. : tathattflfi,2.e etaoi et etaoinetaoininn It is also the expressed belief of several that the man was not a stranger in the community, but on the other hand, was a native, who had . some secret motive for his actions. It is stated that this belief is held by the father of the girl and that he is possessed with the idea that the man will yet be located. . Although nothing has been said in connection with the affair since the first few days after it occurred, the girl's father and brother state that they have not given up the searca for the man. All of thise theories re garding his identity, however, are merely conjectures of the widest Va riety, and what became of the girl's beautiful tresses as well as the mo tive for cutting them remains a well guarded secret. Whether it will ever be solved time only can tell. Failure of Pistol to Fire Saved Life. Elizabeth City, Jan. 13. The fail ure of his pistol to fire is the only thing that prevented Arthur Eoubh ton, a young white man, from killing his wife at her home yesterday in Beech street, Roughton abandoned his wife several weeks ago and left ' her to take care of herself. Yesterday he decided to return to her and he , called at her home in Beach street. She refuser to allow him to come back and live with her. Then he seiz-"' her in his arms and drew a revolver and snapped it at her several times. He fled immediately after the attempt to murder his wife and has not yet been apprehended. Looks like sheer waste of money for an aviator's wife to invest in a divorce doesn't it? IF NOT, Mexican Refugees on the March. Presidio, Tex., Jan. 13. Turning -heir back on Mexico, the ragged sol Hers faid generals of the Mexican fed eral army, routed by the rebels from Ojinaga, Max., opposite here, today began their march toward Fort Bliss, at 1 Paso, Texas.,' where they . are to be kept indefinitely as wards of the United States Government. ' From Marfa, 67 miles away, 10 trains of ten coaches eaeh are to car ry the Mexicans to El Paso under the iscort of four companies of the 20th. Jnited States Infantry. An official count of the refugees by Major McNamee shows there are 3,352 soldiers and officers, 1,067 wo ten and about 300 children and in fants, who are to be housed and fed ,y this country. . v The whole body of refugees will ie enroute to Marfa for three or four lays, and it probably will be next week before they are put on trains for El Paso. - Along the route to Marfa four camps, each marking the end of one lay's march, are to be provisioned. From Presidio to Marfa there s no railroad and the progress of the sol diers and women will be necessarily slow. . - .. Women Eubject to Kidney Troubles. I beg to say that I have been a constant sufferer with severe pains in my back and was on the verge of nervous orarpstotnietaoin shr- shshrd nervq'us prostration, resulting from kidney trouble and other complica tions. A friend of mine recommend ed Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root as a cure for these troubles. Acting up on her advice I began taking Swamp Root and began to improve before I had finished the first bottle. I con tinued its use until I had taken sev eral bottles and continued to improve until I was completely cured. I am happy to say that I am as well as any woman on earth and have been so for the past nine years, thanks to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and I jheerfully : recommend it to all who suffer from kidney troubles. Very truly yours, : " MRS. ALVA BAXTER, 407 Cypress St., Orange, Texas. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 21st day of March, 1912. JOHN J. BALL, Notary Public.

Doan's Kidney Pills were used by this Burlington resident. Their merit was shown the story told. Now comes further evidence. The testimony is confirmed. The remedy was tested the results lasted. Could Burlington residents demand stronger proof? It's Burlington testimony. It can be investigated. Mrs. Bertha Stanfield, 1015 Dixie St., Burlington, N. C, says: "The endorsement I gave Doan's Kidney Pills before, was correct. I am glad to confirm it now. I was in bad shape with backache and had trouble in straightening after stooping. I was also bothered by nervous spells. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and got some. They helped me in ev ery way. The pains left and my kid neys became normal." For sale by all dealers.

Announce ment by the Huerta Government of its intention to default in the.payr ment of the semi-annual interest; on the bonds of the Mexican national debt created much interest in diplo matic circles here tonight and brought out much : speculation, especially among diplomatic representatives ac credited to the countries in which the greater part of the loans are held. While State Department officials were understood to accept this step as a natural development of the policy of waiting for the collapse of the Huerta regime, no comment was forthcoming. Secretary Bryan said he had not been officially advised of this latest turn. The discussion of European 'diplo matists turned to the security which their nationals will have for the enor mous sums which go to make up the aggregate of the Mexican debt,' ex ternal and internal. It was pointed out that in the question of Mexican fi nance, the concerted European pow ers, on account of the great sums at stake, have a keener interest even than the United States. European dimpo matists, therefore, have not been dis posed to take seriously pronounce ments emanating from the constitu tionalists as to their proposed repudi ation of loans advanced to Huerta. They take the view that whatever in fluence prevails in Mexico City, all obligations incurred in times of peace will have to be fulfilled, although it is admitted that war loans advanced during the present year may not be of easy liquidation. , Lumber Concern Fails. Pensacola, Fla., Jan. 13. Bank ruptcy proceedings involving the Key-ser-Mulon Company, one of the larg est lumber shipping concerns on the Gulf Coast, and three associated con cerns, were filed in court here to-day. The Keyser-Muldon Company filed a voluntary petition, giving its , liabili ties as approximately $3,000,000, and its assets at approximately $2,000,000. Simultaneously involuntary bankrupt cy procedings were filed by creditors against the Southern Lumber Co., of Southport, Fla., the Alabama & Flor ida Land Co., of Pensacola, and. Fal co., Ala., and the Southern Manufac turing Company, of Villas, Fla,' . Low prices of sawn timber was giv en by the Keyser-Muldon Company as the cause of its inability to Wet its obligations. " ' The firm's largest creditors was giv en as Crow, Rudolph & Co., of Liver pool, England. Two and a quarter million dollars is given as the amount of indebtedness to the Liverpool con cern. The three companies againrt which involuntary bankruptcy prveed'ngs were filed were either financially al lied with the Keyser-Muldon Co., or held heavy contracts with it. The three are understood to be indebted to the larger concern to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars, v It is the natural assumption that a certain several-year-old thirst was done t6 death in New Hampshire ves- terday, with joyous eclat. It is said that Senator Goff is go ing to oppose the confirmation of Mr. Hammer. If that is true, Mr. Hilton may as well prepare to pack his grip. Swindlers of one sort and another gathered $120,000,000 in the United States last year. Is it strange that so many people are all the time figur ing how to get something for noth ing? ;' - "Whenever I am about to go before a large audience to lecture," Mr. Bryan is reported to have told a friend, "I am overcome with a sicken ing and empty feeling deep down in my stomach." Most of us understand exactly what he means, but he is the last man most of us would ever expect r.o confess stage fright. ' ' , ' '' ' ll'' ' DO 10 U A SIGN ,0F PROSPERITY. , YOUR NEIGI1B0IIS UNDERSTAND. A man cant fool his wife, but once and that . is -when ' ho marries , her, Adam was not the last man to have his happy home busted up by a snake The old fashioned woman who used to have a good bawl every i day now has a daughter who doesn't dare shed a tear because her cheeks are pow dered up like a marshmallow. . Some men remind you of dogs. They loaf around and store up ener gy to chase things they dont want to catch. i - It is too bad that the Fool . Killer isn't a Society Man, He could make an awful clean up at some of these Tango affairs. s . " There is a lot of Tommyrot about Dignity, f When you see a big, pom pous man who is so stiff and impor tant that you curl up and crawl away you wouldn't imagine that he had to sit on the, side of a bed and trim his toe nails with a pair of scissors just like the rest of us. A man-would rather feel well than look well, 'but it is the other rway with a woman. ' - There are a v'le lot of basso who are Timid Tenors when they get home. A woman can -take a plume and wear it on one side of her hat one day, on the other side another day, on the front of her hat another day and on the back another day. She can wear it curled round the rim, un der the rim, across ' the crown or straight up in the air. But if a man happens to put his hat' on with the rear end in front he looks like a fool. The best way1 for a fellow to queer himself with - a girl is to have her parents indorse Trim. It is funny how a diet of liver and onions and ham and cabbage and fried spare ribs will produce liver spots and pimples on a man's map and make a girl's cheeks bloom with roses and cream.
