gun Tuesday and continued until to

2nd Industrial College and Greens
boro College for Women has been

tically all the students have gone to

Store Robbed. The general mer
chandise store of Mr. M. L. Kendall,
at Guilford uoiiege, was enierea uy
thieves Monday night and robbed of
a quantity of goods, including three
shotguns,, a rifle, several pairs of
shoes and three or four pairs' of buck
skin gloves. The Guilford College
jtolfttise: whfch is located- in " the
store, was not molested.
Brakeman Injured. J. R. Stack,
who is employed as a brakeman on
the local yards of the Southern, will
be off duty for some time on account
of a serious injury to one of his feet.,
He was assisting in shifting cars on
the Pomona yard when he slipped, and
fell by the track. His foot was 'caught
under the edge of a rail and was
crushed between a crosstie and the
tread of a car wheel.
Desperately HI. Rev. J. E. Shenk,
who recently resigned the pastorate
I Philip - Fenley, a young man of
good -appearance, : who claims to be a
traveling representative of a whole
sale Jewelry house, was - given a pre
liminary hearing in Municipal court
yesterday on the charge of 'criminal
assault and held without; bail for the
action of 'the grand jury at the next
criminal term of Superior' court. The
charge was preferred by u woman
giving her name as Mrs. C. N. Suttle
and claiming Asheyille as her home.
The proseputing ; witness . related
the story of the alleged assault with
particularity. She said, she w"as a
passenger on a southbound train Sun
day evening, bouna for her hqme in
Astieyille;;iaiid left the train at the
station here to buy. a sandwich. Re
turning from the lunch counter where
she procured . the sandwich, she
claims that the train had either left
the station or been shifted to another
track and says she entered an empty
car by .mistake. She asserts that
Fenley followed her into the car and
assaulted .her. "
The woman ran from the car
screaming;: and was followed by Fen
ley, who was arrested by Station
Master Foushee.
While not denying that his con
duct placed him in an 'unenviable
position, Fenley asserts his innocence
of the charge lodged against him and
gives an account or the occurrence
totally at variance with the story re
lated by th'e woman.
