The loss is between $80,000 and $100,000 and coveredCby on ly one third insurance. There were twenty-three cars worth several thousand dollars each al most ready to get out, and these were also destroyed. The origin of the fire is now unknown, but it is believed to have started in the cabinet room. This plant is a mile from the city, and when the fire companies arrived the mammoth building was on fire all over and there was no chance to save it. : Arvie Dudley was arrested and gave bond beiore the mayor Monday morning for abandoning his wife.

He asked the lawyer 'to present letters from representa tive men of Durham giving good reason for the commutation and that he would hear these and read them seriously. - " , Killed ij falling' Tree. Thomas R. Blalock, who lives two miles from Rougemont, was accidentally and instantly killed last Friday morning about ' 11 o'clock fby the falling of a" tree. The accident occurred in .the woods belonging to Mr. Mack Lawson where'.the men were.'en gaged in chopping the timber, preparatorylto cleaning it for the spring crops. There were four men in the nparty, all of whom were taking part in felling the pine tree, ; which; r was about twelve .inches in diameter. It lodged In the fall.'against anoth er tree and throwing the - butt end up, knocking Mr. Blalock down and falling across him.: He was crushed to death witnout a wail or a groan. His associates cut the tree off him and carried him to his home from which place he was buried Saturday afternoon. He was a member of the Primitive Baptist church and the elder of that denomination conducted the funeral from the church near the Granville county line. The dead man was 38 years old and leaves a wife, his father, Haston Blalock, a brother and four sisters. He was an indus trious hard working man, con scientious farmer whom every body liked. The horrible death, met in the discharge of a duti ful hard work, something that characterized his entire life, is a shock to his friends there and everywhere he was known. Kegro Boycott Clyde Draghn, a colored lad of 13, was badly hurt Tbhrsday night by a freight train which ran over a portion of his right foot and mashed it off. The boy's story discloses rough treatment that nobody believes. He says he was coming from University Station and had paid a brakeman 25 cents to let him ride. A second brakeman, he declares, came along to collect the fare and not having "it, Draghn was kicked from he car and the foot injured. The boy was taken to Lincoln hospital and attended. Ampu tation of a portion 'of the foot was necessary. The railroad men say they know nothing of the matter, their opinion being that the child was attempting to swing to a fast-moving freight and was hurt by slipping under it;' mMut Tim mayor's docket Monday makes a showing for evil doers and also for the efficiency of the police in bringing thpm in out of l!u cold. ; Talk ol an Injunction, v " During the past week, .since the coun ty commissioners say fit to accept the' contract for the construction of the Roxboro road, for which they will havetbborrow money 'to pay the expense, there lias been considerable talk among people from every' section of the county, Many people are ready to ask perplexing questions but have received no answer fixm the! commissioners. " u ' ' It was mentioned in these col umns that there was some ' talk of getting out an injunction', but we said at the time that we did not expect it would materialize. However, for the last few. days it seems that the -injunction idea istaking definite shapeby the con sultation by thosethat have to pay large taxes of attorneys with a view to holding : the i matter off. The idea has been expressed that some sections have, complained because the road was not through their.. particular , section. . , This idea is to small for consideration atithe hand of the commissioners. .There is not, and., will pot be any complaint because the county commissioners want- this .road constructed, but the kick comes from the fact that . the., county officers, propose to V borrow the money to build the road when the voters of the county have expressed : themselves 1 three to one against the idea of borrowing money for this work. " So far as the legal side of the question goes, we have no idea dff what would te the outcome if an injunction should be sought, but we maintain now, as we have expressed before, ' that' taking everything in consideration," it is hot right to borrow ; money for this purpose :i 1 .... m ' tl.a J.

Some West IDiirham citizens complained because a family liv ing there were guilty of being the filthiest on record.; Justice Owens went Jto. .the house - last Saturday and found conditions to fully vindicate the complaints. . He found Anna Strayhorn and her son, Archj living in U room with nine dogs and six chickens. In the corner of the room "was a mattress used by the "family" both day and night After some persuasion the mother and son were carried to.the county home. The dogs were given away and the chickens sold. Twenty-Six Defendants. The mayor had an unusual court Monday from point of num bers. 'There were twenty-six cases to claim his attention when court was called to order. Of this number twelve were sent over to the May term of Durham superior court.
