"Capt." CM. Bowers Worked English Estate Fake on SUtesvill People and Got Several Thous and Dollars. Statesville Landmark. It is learned here that "Capt" C. M. Bowers of Statesville has been placed under arrest in New Orleans, La., by Federal officers and will prob. ably be brought to Statesville for trial in the United States court on charges of using the mails to defraud. While no definite information is to be had, it is understood that Postal officials have been on the trail of Bowers for some time, tracing his movements from England to Canada, from Canada through a number of the Western States, finally effecting his arrest in New Orleans, Saturday night. It is believed that he will be brought to Statesville in a short while and will be held here until the next term of the Federal court. Bowers' alleged offense against the postal laws was committed in exploit ing a fake English estate scheme through which he swindled Messrs. B. C. and Parks Deaton and other Statesville and Iredell people out of about $8,000. Bowers is a native Englishman and he claimed to have knowledge of a large estate in Eng. land which rightly belonged to the Deatons and other descendants of a wealthy Englishman. There had been a tradition in the Deaton family that one of their ancestors left large possessions in England and they fell easy prey to Bowers, who went to England at their expense to secure I ' ssession of the "estate." Bowers' operations with the Deatons and asso ciates began about four years ago and when he made his last trip to Eng. land he claimed to have put their suit through the courts, winning pos. session of the estate. All during this time he had made frequent calls for ?noney and the money was sent, it is said, to the amount of about $8,000 Bowers then became quiet, the Dea tons became suspicious suspicious and Mr Parks Deaton made a trip to Eng land a year or so ago to investigate. As a result he found that Bowers had worked a fake scheme from the beginning. While in England, Mr. Deaton secured much evidence against Bowers and on his return he report ed the matter to the postal authori ties, and it is understood that a bill for fraudulent use of the mails was found against Bowers at a term of the Federal court in Statesville. Bow ers spent money freely in England and although he has a wife here, it is chargd that he has married another woman in England, whom he deserted after a short time. Many other in teresting facts, it is said, will be brought out when the case gets into court. Bowers, who represented himself to be a mining engineer, moved to Statesville from Burke county years v.go. His record is not good and there were many who considered him a "crook" before he worked his fake estate scheme. Huerta Thinks Uncle Sam Has Done His Worst. Mexico City Dispatch, 23d. Apparently resigned to those con ditions which make it necessary to carry on a dilatory campaign against his enemies, President Huer ta and his officials dependent today appeared convinced that the United States will not take more drastic measures toward the Mexican gov ernnsnt than those already taf:en. It has been i nmoi"?d that Congress would not continue to meet; that it would be automatically dissolved, and that General Huerta was about to quit office. All these rumors have been disproved by Congress launch ing itself into what promises to be a prolonged session. It is expected that tomorrow Congress will take up the ratification or nullificat:on of the presidential elections, and it is under stood that these will be anulled, that new elections will be called and that President Huerta will remain at the head of affairs. According to his in timates, no one realizes-jnore fully than General Huerta the desperate straits of his government, but he has reiterated his intention of pounding away at his enemies until he or they have won. At the national palace the idea of intervention is scoffed at and the suggestion of a blockade is re received with skepticism. General Huerta himself is credited with hav ing said that while his ports might easily be taken, it would be impossi ble for invaders to get as far as the capital. While in a fair way to make good his promise to "fool the surgeons," made more than two years ago when his neck was broken as the result of diving into shallow water, Waldorf Miller, 19 years old, died Monday at New Rochelle, N. Y., from stomach trouble. He had so far recovered from his injury that three weeks ago he was permitted to leave his wheel chair and walk a few steps. LUMBERTOVS EXTRA.

From Charlotte to Deep Water. Charlotte Observer. The recent action of the Charleston city council in giving to Mr.. R. Bon sal, a well known railroad builder, per. mission to extend the lines of the Charleston, Seaboard & Western rail way into that city, and the announce ment by him that he would be hauling "cotton to deep water" by the time of the arrival of the next crop means more to Charlotte people and parti cularly Charlotte merchants and job bers than anything in the railway line that has happened since the extension of the Norfolk Southm into the city. Mr. Bonsai has this line in operation now from Jefferson, approximately 27 miles south of Monroe, to Andrews, 53 miles from Charleston and this ac tion of the Charleston Council in giv ing him the right to enter that city is in connection with the completion of the 53 mile gap from Andrews to the City.by-the.sea. The 27-mile gap from Jefferson to Monroe has already been ordered and its completion is but a question of time. Mr. Bonsai in announcing that he would be hauling cotton into Charleston by next fall gave the cue as to the time when the entire road would be finished. Monroe is 22 miles from Charlotte and when these two gaps are finished, Charlotte and Charleston will be connected by a direct line, almost as the crow flies. This section to be opened up.
