The little child c! Ed Lyon,
colored, who lives in La2t Dur
ham, was burned to death by Ihe
clothing of the! child igniting
from an open fire place. The
child lived but a short while af
ter being burned.
The mother of the deai child
and several others of her child
ren were in the house when the
mother had occasion to go into
the yard to look after some du
ties. In a moment she heard the
screams of the child and of the
other children. Rushing into
the houe .she found her young
est child in flames and the
other children were trvinz to

The mother of the chili soon
mothered out the flames but it
was loo htt to five the life of
the little one. A physician was
summoned but in a short while
the child was uVad. It was liter
ally cooked from head to foot.
Wednesday afternoon the in

East Durham Drug Company Attached
-Other Cases Decided.
Civil cases, and many of these
small affairs, were the principal
matters of interest about the
office of justices of the peace Wed
nesday. Several cases were start
ed, however, that will eventually
get into the higher court for settle
ment.
:!l The creditors are busy getting
in their claims against the de
funct East Durham Drug com
pany. This company was closed
on a claim of $148,12 by the
Yearby Drug company, and then
followed a small claim by P. W.
Vaughari, druggist. These claims
are tacked on the door of the
drug store, or rather the notices
of attachment are there. There
was no one on whom service
could be secured, as the manager
and proprietor of the business
skipped away to another part of
the state before he could be se
cured.! Now the business is ad
vertised for sale and all that is
waiting . is for the legal time
limit.
One case that occupied consid
erable time in, tr&lj and was rath
er ? interesting ; for a while was
that of J. C. and M. W. Kearney,
trading as Kearney & Son,
against June Peoples. They sued
out a claim and delivery paper
fori carriage, When the hear
ing came on the plaintiffs being
allowed jji isimple, v judgment
againit Peoples. The defendant
gave notice of appeal to the high
er court.
W. G. Bramham, administrator
of the late W. W. Ellington,

Engineer Arrested for Picking
Scrap Lumber.
J. L. Holden, a well known en
gineer on the Southern road and
member of the brotherhood, ' was
before Justice of the Peace J.
E. Owens Tuesday on the
charge of larceny;if It proved
to be a rather "farfetched" case.
The defendant was discharged
and the prosecuting witness was
taxed with the cost, this amount
ing to $3.55. ;:
The case proved to be very
much to do about a small matter.
When it was rumored that an en
gineer on the Southern road had
been arrested for larceny there
was at once a general interest in
the outcome of the matter. But
when the facts were learned the
interest was not at a very high
tilt.
The charge against Engineer
Holden was brought by the night
watchman for the Carririgton
Lumber company. At least he
reported the matter to the officer!
and on instructions he went be
fore Justice Owens and the war
rant followed. The, engineer was
not in town but word was sent;
to him by a friend and he came
in yesterday to see what was
the charge. The '.trial followed;
soon after this, i
... Engineer Holden told his side
of -the matter aa follows: That
he was on a sidetrack waiting
for some train to pass and the
fires was cleaned. In. doing this
the fires were almost extinguish
ed. Engineer Holden went out
on the side of the track and gath
ered up an armful of scraps and
email pieces or lumber in order

tin, 01 man ley county, was car
ried to Morganton last night and
lodged in the State Asylum at
that place for the insane. She
was accompanied by SherifT
Love, of Stanley, and her hus
band. Notwithstanding Mrs.
Austin's emaciated condition, she
raved in the train and created
much excitement. A short dis
tance from Salisbury she jumped
up and pulled the signal cord
and stopped the train. Her con
dition is said to have been caused
by religious enthusiasm.

he was carr?ni the ,scraps and
lumber and whefl loW ne'directed
him to throw it doWf! This the
engineer did, after he haJ 6fter-
ed to pay for it or Jo leave IM
matter to the watchman to send
a bill to the company.
Tuesday the engineer told
his story and the watchman told
his side of the affair. The watch
man suidthut the engineer cursed
him while the engineer said that
h never cursed in hU life. Doth
sides had attorneys to look after
the matter and the trial of the
unusual case occupied sometime.
In the course of the argument
the attorney for the engineer
showed that according to the laws
of th3 state that the engineer
had a right to take all wood and
fuel that was necessary and that
the road was responsible and
shouid pay. It was also shown
that much of the lumber of the
company is stored on the railroad
property and in the course of the
argument the counsel gave the
company notice to move off the
property.
The trial of the case" attracted
considerable attention. The
opinion of all was that Engineer
Holden should not be held to the
higher court for what he did.
