WILL MYERS DEAD.
SarTivIuV.Hft Full Ue Yields to Ex-
citement Over a light.
The Salisbury Trutlr-Index
says Will Myers, the man who
made the fatal mistake to stop
out of the bucket at the Union
Copper Mine, before the trap
door was shut and fell 70 feet, is
now dead. The circumstances
are peculiar. The fall was
enough to kill an ordinary m'an;
but he was recovering and was
considered cut of danger, but a
man and woman got into a fight
in his room and the excitement
in his reduced condition pro
duced congestion of the brain
from which he became uncon
scious and soon died.
Joe is Dead.
Dr. L M Archey's old dog Joe
died Sunday evening at 6:30
o'clock in front of the St. Cloud
hotel. Old age seems to have
been the cause of his death. As
he was near his thirteenth birth
day, and one half score years
and two are all the days that are
allotted to a dog. Every body in
Concord knew Joe, and he was
the pet of many of the traveling
men when they were at the St.
Cloud. But he is gone and will
be missed by all.
A Runaway. . .
While Dr. and Mis. J R Wil
son, of Harrisburg, were on there

serious. The buggy was broken
to pieces and the horse was
caught several miles from where
the runaway began.
