Of Far Western Life Mr. John Ritch, Formerly of Charlotte the Author. An interesting and entertaining story is contained in the following which was written by Mr. John Ritch, now living in Anaconda, Idaho, in the far West. The story deals with one of those peculiar characters that are found only in the outskirts of the great world, or about sections where people are free and untrammeled by conventionalities and such things. The story is as follows: When William Cantrell, familiarly known as "Flopping Bill," died at Lewistown it was reported that he left a valuable estate. It was also told that no relatives of the late lamented could be found and that the estate was begging for heirs. An Anaconda man who knew "Flop ping Bill"' went to a local attorney about ten days since and asked him to make inquiries concerning the estate. The reply which the Anaconda attor ney received from the clerk and recor der of Fergus county is interesting. It has a quaint humor of its own. Here it is: Has a Quaint Humor. "Dear Sir A few days ago Mr. Bel den placed in my hands a communica tion from you in which you requested information concerning an article that rjecentiv appeared in a Montana paper telling "that an estate awaited the heirs of 'Flopping Bill,' a one-time noted character in this country. I note that vour letter is writen at the instance of a friend of Bill's who claims the ability to locate the said heirs if the ejstate is suffering from a poverty of beneficiaries. ."The 'estate cf Flopping Bill' is one from which an heir would experience much trouble in realizing pecuniary jrofit or social prestige. 'Flopping Bill' was improvident; he recked not for the davs as they passed nor trou bled he himself about the dollars as thev came and went. True, he owned iffs "interest in the Limitless Temple of .Nature, but the endless multitude of his co-owners decreed by the unwrit ten, but never broken, law that the fellow who came next (consanguinity not considered) fell undisputed heir to Bill's right to enjoy the fresh air and revel inGod's tree sunshine. Bill had no pre-emption on those blessings, not even a riparian right that he might de vise and bequeath after he had gone irom among us. Lord of AM -"As a further proof of Bill's profli gacy let us recall that at one time he and" his friends were lords of all they surveyed (and much that was unsur veyed", for at that time the tripod and sextant were unknown here). Large gobs of the public domain lay unap propriated and were virtually in Bill's possesion, but through utterest neg lect no prevision was made for ,the heirs and it had all passed back to Uncle Sam and been appropriated by those whose forethought made their heirs secure. Bill's pinnacle of owner ship, his wildest creation of wealth setting, was concentrated in a long rope and a speedy horse. Bill was strenuous: as a proof of this we find heirs in Valley county; a whole fam ily of heirs in Madison county; rumors of more heirs in Beaverhead county; a bunch of possible heirs in Deer Lodge county and occasionally a lone heir, whose very solitude bespeaks our com miseration, appears from beyond the horizon Missouriward. We must hon or Bill in that it may be possible that he anticipated our illustrious chief, the president, in not only raising large families, but numerous ones. Are Not Ashamed. ,"It is true that Bill is gone; his memory , like our own poverty, lingers with us. It rejoices us to know that Bill's relatives are not ashamed of him since his demise; they knew him not while in this life, particularly during his Fergus county career. But that is a frailty of all relatives; they remem ber us most affectionately when we have left an estate. This is where Bill draws out; no property -distributions encumbered his last moments; no thoughts of the bickerings and legal battles to ensue after his demise, marred the going out of his knignt oi( the lariat as ne aepaneu num mcac earthly scenes and went careering joy ously to his reward on high. Bill had naught to our knowledge but his re cord; we enter no judgment as to . that, but we do ask your friend through . vou to forego any further search for ' Bill's heirs; it is time wasted."

' Ell WILL SOLVE THE f PROBLEM when a coffee drinker is ailing P0STUM 10 DAYS B N COL, MQREHEAD MAKES DISCOVERY Discovers Some Papers Relating to Andrew Jackson In Ran dolph Court Records. Heavy Rains Make Travel Perilous. Negro Burglar Arrested. Special to The News. Greensboro, July 25. By the death of Mrs. Lucy A. Cunninggim, the real estate here of her husband, the late Rev. J. A. Cunninggim, will, under his will, be sold, and half the proceeds be given to Trinity College, to be loaned to young men preparing for the ministery, the loans to be paid back in three years after the borrower becomes a stationed minis ter. The other half goes to the Wo man's Foreign Missionary Board to be known as the Lucy A. Cunninggim fund. Mrs. Cunninggim was given a life estate in this realty, which is very valuable since the city has developed so and prices have reached so high. While no date is set in the will for the sale of the property it is supposed that it will now soon be sold. While attending Randolph Court last week, Col. James T. Morehead, in looking up some old records in the clerk's office, in Asheboro, came across the following interesting entry: "State of North Carolina, Randolph County: At the county court of pleas and quarter sessions begun and held for the county of Randolph at the court house in Randolph on the sec ond Monday in December, Anno Domo 1787, in the 12th year of the Indepe nd ence of the State, Andrew Jackson, Esquire, produced a license from the Judges of the Superior Court of law and Equity, authorizing him to prac tice as an attorney in the several coun ty courts. "Took the oath to practice in said courts." The records of Guilford county show that Jackson was a special consta ble, while he was studying law, re turns on old papers bearing entries of having served them on different par ties by Andrew Jackson. He is said to have made his first argument in the trial of a case in old Guilford county court house, near where the battle ground now is. Jack son and Spruce, of Salisbury, read law together, and McCoy was Randolph's first county attorney. . Osborne Barringer, of Charlotte, and C. N. Talbot, of Syracuse, N. Y. were here yesterday in an automobile in which they had just traveled 10,000 miles. The machine as well as the men attracted, of course, more than ordinary attention. The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce held a meeting last night and accepted the resignation of the secretary, George F. Newman, who resigned to become an active partner, secretary and treasurer of the Wyland-Newland Machine Company, of Greensboro, the resignation to go into effect September 1st. The board considered the application of nine men for the position, but deferred ac tion until July 30th, pending investi gation by a special committee into the qualifications of the candidates. Southbound trains were delayed twe hours yesterday because of a freight wreck near Lynchburg. North bound trains were also delayed several hours owing to a wreck below Charlotte. Besides making railroad travel per ilous, the frequent heavy rains in all this section have entirely destroyed the low ground crops of hay and corn. Nearly all meadows are now under water and bottom corn has all been given up as a complete loss. Yester day was the first day in a week that an inch of rain has not fallen during each twenty-four hours in Greensboro, and heavy rains had been coming be fore this, every day or two for a month. The streams are all over flowing and the earth on railroads is saturated with water, making fills and. embankments dangerous. An officer from Climax was here to day looking for a negro who had stol en $35 worth of clothing from a res idence there Sunday. A negro was arrested here yesterday supposed to be the thief, and when the Climax officer, laid eyes on him in the Cala boose this morning he at once identi fied him as the man wanted, and took him back with him. The Treasury Department at Wash ington has named the City National Bank of Greensboro as one of the Government Depositories for the Pan ama Canal Construction bonds. The amount allowed the Greensboro bank is $150, 000. i . . . S'nopton Notes. Special to The News. Shbpton. July 25. Miss Clara Aber- nethy, of Charlotte who has been visit ing her aunt, Mrs. Ed.

A Bigger Plant. Clem Studebaker, the wagon manu facturer of South Bend, Ind., visited Yellowstone Park. He came to the hotel where there is a space on the register for the impressions of the guests. There was the usual string of "Grand!" "Perfectly wonderful!" and all that sort of thing. Mr. Stude baker contemplated the page long and earnestly. Then he wrote his name and residence. There was another period of con templation and, finally, he wrote in the impression space: "The Studebaker Wagon Works at South Bend, Indiana, produce so many complete wagons every hour, so many every day and so many each year" giving the exact figures. He paused again. "But," he added, "even that marvelous achievement pales into insignificance besidde the wonders I have seen here." Saturday Evening Post.
