with such force that the matter

best interest of the people. A
committee consisting of the. fol

business men and citizens who
would likely take a part in such
an organization for the purpose
of collecting data With which to

Culprit was unexpectedly come ipon
in Charlotte by Rr. W. S. Fulton
who immediately caused bis
arrest After mueh pro
test Hiynes con
fessed all--
Claud Haynes who was wanted
here for the burglarizing of the
hardware store of D. M. Baker
& Company and tho Bicycle and
Harness shop of Costner Broth- '
ers account of which was carried
in last week's Herald was
arnst I in Charlotte last Thurs
day and brought here Friday. He
confessed to the burglary and
implicated Irvin Dclk'hue who
previous and two others whose
names he says that he doesn't
know except that they call
themshlvos "Roy" and "Ira."
Account -was given last week
of two boys being under arrest
-at Rockingham and of Mr. Sage
Kulton being gone over there
to see if they were the men
upon reaching Charlotte found
that he had to Wait for some
time to get the Seabord train to
Rockingham, and decided to
visit the pawn shops of the city
in search of the goods which
had been stolen. He went to ono
shop without making any' dis
covery and on his way to another
be Claud Haynes just in
front of the Intercrban station.
Being equal to the emergency,
Mr. Fulton paid . no attention
whatever to his man except to
follow close behind him until tnv
officer was signalled before
theshop was reached and the man'
was reduced to a prisoner.
Upon arrest Haynes Was -turned
instantly facing Mr. Ful--ton
and asked if he knew the
man and he said th:it he did not, -but
Mr. Fulton contended most,
tenaciously that the prisoner
was his-man. When, asked -filename
Haynes stated that lie was '
a Mr. Smith from Monroe, aud-
declared that I13 . could prove a
good character by a certain man ' -
down street and demanded that '
he be taken to the inau ior idon- -.a
tity. TheoflUiers consented and Vr
started in the direction Indita.! -tJ-by
the prisoner but Hay nes soon ' ' . .
bucked and, told the officers that .
they had no warrant for him and
that lie was going no further.-' - . .
He was then taken to the police' ,
station for' the inteirontion of
the chief. ' '
Inside the police . station tne ' ""j s
prisoner protested QRai net beint
disignated as "Haynes"-and all " -r:
knowledge of Fultoa or"' the : '. f
Kings Mouhtain affair But Mr. '
Fulton pressed his case so hard
before the officer that they wore
forced to credit his convicUous. : . :
After being able to find no fault ,
in the man and seeing the1 earn'-'-"
estness of Mr. Fulton the chief -turned
to, Mr! Fulton, and stated ; V
that he would do as he said in .'
the matter, whereupon. Mr.
Fulton stated .that . he was his
man and he knew it. In the mean-
time Haynes was "beginning to1 ,
exhibit some temper. When the '
prisoner saw that bis antagonist
had him without doubt be asked '
to speak privately with Mr. Ful
ton. Tho two stepped to one side
and Haynes began unbuttoning
his rain coat and whispered to
Mr. Fulton that he had a pistol
on him and wanted him to lake..'
it and not let the officers find, it:
