Pernicious activity must have char- '.acterlsed the deportment of a colored Individual officially designated Fred Crosby on three warrants made re- ' turnablo before the recorder of the : City of Charlotte thla morning. For In stance, one of the fatal inscriptions contains an indictment for carrying concealed weapons, a procedure Which might very well have lnen omitted for his own good. For, had ha been unarmed, he would not now : be Charged with shooting that pistol In the direction of Bessie Torrence. ' colored, nor would a negro woman wearing' the name of Katy Torrence be complainant against him In anoth er case wherein similar mal-behavtor is alleged. The date-line of the story . is properly the colored settlement of Brooklyn in eastern Charlotte. Be yond the convulsions suffered by feminine nerves, no harm was done. .v,V.. & i , i-.r X Cj' S"-'' ..'V "v MR. EDGAR B. MOORE. -Th measure of the success of the recent celebration of the 124th an niversary of the Mecklfnburg Declaration of Independence was the meas ure of thH efforts of Mr. Edgar B. Moore, chairman Of the central com mittee which had that notable event in charge and proprietor of the Selwn Hotel. Mr. Moore came to Charlotte less than two years ago from Asheville and has always manifested the keenest interest in the city's growth. As much bo as any other cltisen he is concerned in making charlotte grow. WORK TROCBLE FOR CAR.MVALS. CARNIVALS LOST HEAVILY. Tho Amusement Aggregatlous Attach ed lietwrerv Midnight Saturday and l)a break Yesterday Morning Tlie hmith OHnjMtny Comes dear While the Itarkoot Affair is Not So Ktr tunatr. Troubles of all kinds befell two of the carnival companies operating in the city last week. The fates, not intent with sending poor trade, Sat urday night dispatched officers of the law into two camps with claim and delivery papers and of all Internlclne rows 4n the city the two that follow ed were about the worst. The com panies Involved were the K. O. Bar koot Amusement Company and the John R. Smith Carnival Company. The latter hd little difficulty in clear ing up the tangle although for a time it looked as If another man would secure possession of the entire outfit, bag and baggage The former was not so fortunate and as a result. a part of the show's belongings are still in the city awaiting disposition. The John R. Smith Carnival Com pany's imbroglio occurred atoout mid night Saturday and continued until almost daybreak yesterday morning. Mr. George Deerhorn, who It de veloped, had on several previous oc casions had trouble with Mr. Smith, the present owner of the company, and to whom lie had sold It, brought ault against the Smith Carnival Com pany, and with the claim and delivery proceedings, giving a bond of J400, seized the entire outfit, alleging that by unfair means Smith had taken pos session of his property. It was midnight before the owner learned of the procedure and on ar- rivlsg at the stand where his carnival had been In operation, found Deerhorn lu full possession. Immediately he secured Messrs. T. C. Guthrie and L. W. Humphrey, attorneys, to represent him, and by producing a bill of sale for the properly signed by Oeoo-ge Deerhorn and his wife, the carnival company was again put In his hands. It was after day broke Sunday morning that the affair was entirely adjusted, and as a result the carnival company was unable to leave the city until yesterday afternoon. This week the John K. Smith company will be in High Point. Mr. Smith Is a native of this State, having been born at Mount Olive. In the eastern portion of Carolina, and Is a. well-known and responsible man. The K i. Barkoot Amusement Company was attached by Mr. K. J. Dempxter, who claimed that J200 was due hitn on account as the company had 'broken h contract with him. It seems that last fall the Barkoot Company engaged Dempster to handle in the different towns where they ap peared, the peanuts, popcorn and can dies, a line generally sold by such or ganizations. After the contract had been signed for one year's services, Dempster, so he states, was discharg ed in a small Pennsylvania town, and there forced to scuffle for himself the best he could. The attachment was made at 3 o'clock Sunday morning and it was not adjusted. The Barkoot Company was unable to arrange things to Dempster's satisfaction In time to leave the city to keep another engagement this week and left a por tion of Its property as security. Mr. Dempster will be allowed to dispose of this to his satisfaction If the Bar koot people do not adjust the affair. Rumor Has It That the Barkoot Car nival Company Lost Approximately $8,500 During Two-Weeks Engage ment Receipt One Day Amounted to $1.45. It Is said that the K. 3. Barkoot Amusement Company, which during the past two weeks, operated an ex pensive line of attractions in the rear of tho South graded school, lost heavily, and that during one day, that of the 20th, the total receipts mounted to the sorry pittance of 11.45. It la a fact that the carnival was a large and well-known one, land the operating expenses very heavy. As to the actual amount of losses, which rumor ha was $6,500, nothing posi tive could foe learned, but during the entire engagement, the patronage was very small. A most excellent band did the company carry and the music furnished by Its members was daily enjoyed by the large crowds gathered about Independence Square. The diver alone, it is said, was paid over $150 a week fo'r his plunge of 102 feet, from a stand brilliant ly illuminated with electricity. Each nlrfht at 11 o'clock this stunt was pull ed off but as a rule only a handful of spectators were present. It Is true that the carnival com pany selected a poor location for the crowds and that the weather was against them so much so that It Is easily believed that their losses were heavy. AX AVTOMOBIUE ACCIDENT. - Wreaked YengT-ance on Thief With BoUie. -' Discovering as he says John Hos- - kins, colored, in the act of stealing - two packages of glngersnaps and a - package of cigarettes from his stand - near tho carnival on West" Fourth . Street late Saturday night. W. C. Hill, . white, who lives in North Charlotte, . struck the man with a bottle, not seriously injuring- him, however. This , morning the negro will be defendant j i one case and State s witness In the .- other; the same two roles will also be ..played by the party of the second, . part, ! opposing indictments. Can of Meetsr. S. B. Alexander, Jr., and John C. Rankin, of Lowell, Ool lldc .Ml Mi Mary Brevard Alexander Slightly Injured. An automobile accident which caus ed much excitement yesterday after noon was that of the machines of Mr. 8. B. Alexander, Jr.. and Mr. John C. Rankin, of Lowell. Mr. Alexander, accompanied by his wife and daugh ter, had gone to the Southern depot in his new Bulck machine, Mr. Alex ander leaving the city on a short business trip. In returning home with the machine Mrs. Alexander, to avoid the crow-ds on Tryon street, turned down South Church, and at ths corner of Fourth and Church ran into the new Maxwell car of Mr. Ran kin, which was being; driven by Mr. Best, of ths Southern Automobile Company. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, Miss Mary Brevard, was thrown to the street, sustaining sev eral bruises and scratches on her face. The little girl was not serious ly but painfully injured. The Maxwell machine was practi cally unhurt, only the mud guard over one of the rear wheels being bent. The Bulck machine was more seriously damaged. The front axle was twisted, and both lamps badly bent and broken. However, It will be pn the streets within the next few days as the machinery of the car was uninjured. Aside from little Miss Mary Rre vard Alexander, no one was injured.

Cwtonid Employ of Carnival Atwested Vat Chief . mne Again ' Him CocoeCh Not ywttw ' v - Late Saturday afternoon a whit man called ths attention of Officers Pitta and Malcelm at the Johnny Joaes carnival to a negro whem be aid ha had Just seen extract a pocket book from the clothing- of an aged colored man namsd McDowell, living on Cherry street The officers ad dressed themselves to the situation at one and in a few minutes a "young negro man named Eddy Larklns. from Jacksonville, whs travels with ths carnival, was under arrest. Only 18 cents was found on his person and he protests his entire innocence. Now the man who made the orig inal charge has not come forward and ths negro did not miss his pocketbook until Just about tho time the arrest was made. The accused, however. Is being held to await developments. He claims that an error in identity is re sponsible for his arrest. Hs may be given what is known in baseball parlance as the pink slip. Divers Accusations td Be Made in Court That Will Dixon, colored, did as sault his wife, Annie Dixon; that John Jones did retail two' pints of liquor at different times for 60 cents each on or about May 8 to Dock Hln son; that Vernon Anderson and Jesse McQuay did engage in the healthful but dangerous exercise of throwing rocks; that three colored persons, Walter Wilson. James Walker and Len Brown, did combine to create a disturbance in Hilton's alley; that D. C. and W. R. Jackson did engage In an affray all these things and more by a few, are stated in official papers signed by desk sergeants of the city police. You will never find a piano Just like the artistic SUeff. There Is an individuality about the Stleff piano all its own. That beautiful singing, sonorous tone, wondrous volume and perfect action place It In a sphere above all comparison. Why should any one buy an Inferior piano when they can buy the artistic Stleff or Shaw piano direct from Its maker? The price is within reach of the most economical buyer while the grad Is beyond competi tion. Don't take chances of buying a cheap or medium grade piano. Write Stleff.
