Chief Engineer of Standard Ice & Fuel Co, Pays That Amount for Assault on Reise Brcwn, Colored Employe—J. James was not Jesse James, Mr. W. P. Hegeden, chief engineer at the Standard Ice & Fuel Company, was fined $15 and the costs this morn ing for assault on Reesei Brown, a colored employe of the company, early Saturday morning. The negro had been paid off and told by Mr. Hegeden to leave the premises because he was in terfering with the work of the other hands. The negro threw two pieces of iron at Mr. Hegeden and the latter shot twice to frighten the negro, both ball striking the wall some distance from him. He told the negro he \vould shoot next time to hit, but about that time several other negroes led Brown away. ' * J. James, a young white man, figur ed in court this morning. It was not stated whether he was related to a family of the same name who used to raise considerable sand, or worse, in and around Jackson county, Mo.; but the riucstion siiggested itself when .-e defendant was charged with car rying a pibtol and firing it within the city limits. The defendant, however, bore little resemblance of the accredit ed likeness of the aforementioned Missourian and \vas decidedly docile in appearance. He stated further that he did not habitually carry pistols and •just happened to be” carrying one when he pulled out his handkerchief. This caused the pistol to fall out of his pocket onto the pavement, caus ing it to explode. He was fined $20 for carrying concealed weapons and the costs for firing a pistol within the jcity limits.

News today from Mrs. Fred White and Mrs. T. B. Whitted, who were painfully hurt in an auto accident which occurred Saturday afternoon on the Asheville road near Hender sonville, was to the effect that both were resting comfortable. The news of the accident cjeated keen interest and concern in Charlotte for both Mrs. White and Mrs. Whitted are prominent socially and beloved. That they were not more seriously hurt ; v.'as almost a miracle. The Daily Hfer- I .Tld, of Hendersonville, gives the I following account of the accident;' I “A serious accident occurred on the Asheville road this (Saturday) morning w’hen an automobile con taining five passengers, guests of Kanuga Lake Club, turned turtle on the side of the road just be yond the Mud Creek bridge near Hilgirt, and pinned tw'o of the pas senger-4 under the car until assist ance arrived. Two of the ladies in the car were seriously hurt. Had there not have been a ditch under the overturned car Vith all proba- ; bilities there would litive been sev- I era I lives lost. j ‘The pow’erful White steamer car I driven by Mr. Fred H. White, of I Charlotte, containing five passengers 1 including Mrs. White. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Whitted, of Charlotte, and Mrs. S. H. Norcombe, of Columbia, w'as turned completely over. Mrs. Nor combe jumped just before the acci- : dent and was not hurt. Mrs. White received a ‘broken collar bone and 'other bruises. Mrs. Whitted was seri ously hurt. The two gentlemen were not injured except for a sprained foot I of Mr. White. i “The cause of the accident is said I to have been on acccfUnt of the skid- i ding of the heavily weighted car 1 upon the newly built road. The car I had just gone over the Mud Creek j bridge and while running on the side I of ther oad jilted to one side and i turtled. Lucky for the passengers that there was a ditch about three ! feet deep over wiiich the car fell, j leaving open space for the passen- ; gers to get out. Two of the pas- ! sengers were caught under the car I and could not be removed until as- i sistance arrived. ■ “The first to find the unfortunate ones was a party of ladies in a car j belonging to Mr. T. D. Maybanks, of j Alabama, who is a guest with his ! family at the Kentucky home. The ' only man in this car was the color- ! ed chauffeur, William Ramsey, who immediately rendered valuable as- ! sistance to the injured persons and * aided in dragging from under the i car those who were caught fast. I “The passengers of ^the wrecked i car were put in Mr. Maybanks car ' and brought to Kanuga Club as fast ' as the 70 horse power National could ! travel and there they received all possible medical attention, j “A telephone message received ifrom Kanuga just before going to i press stated that the injured parties j were resting well.” j Mrs. White had but recently re- i covered from a spell of sickness, and had gone to Kanuga to recuperate. I Mr. White and Mr. Whitted com- j pose the well known firm of Whitted ' & White, of this city. I Later—News just received from ! Kanuga states that Mrs. Whitted is able to be up, but that Mrs. White is confined to her room. Mrs. Whitted’s shoulder was sprained, j Mrs. White’s arm was broken, and her nervous system sustained a great shock. The accident occurred at 11 o’clock Saturday morning.
