The crime was commit ted in Iredell county and according to the Statesville Landmark, the young men have gotten themselves into a bad mess. That paper says of the matter, that on Tuesday of last week, I. L. Lambert left a young horse hitched in one of the back lots in Statesville and when he went after it he found an old one in its place. He immediately began an investigation and found that Fireman Burette Walker had seen a buggy cross the square about 1 o'clock Wednesday morn- with a gray horse hitched behind it. It was found that the buggy went towards Salisbury and Mr. Lambert gave chase. On reach ing Salisbury he found that Mi chael and Parks had passed through there with a gray horse, and after srcuring the sheriff of Rowan he proceeded on the chase. The young men were overtaken and placed under arrest just be fore they crossed ever into David son county, snort i y alter noon Wednesday and Mr. Lambert'. horse was- in their possessions They were held at Salisbury until yesterday, when Sheriff Summers lodged them in jail.

As a preacher and lecturer Mr, Dixon was supremely successful so that it would be no novelty to him to face an audience over the footlights. The character which has appeal ed so strongly to Mr. Dixon is one of the most interesting in the new play. In fact it is absolutely unique in being a type never be fore presented on the stage. There is no gainsaying the fact that Mr, Dixon is physically the exact em bodiment of this character and as his early youth was spent in the mountains of North Carolina his' interpretation of the role should be faithfully realistic.
