DISASTROUS EIRE VISITS STATESVILLE Sunday Morning Blaze Wipes Out the Hotel Iredell and Other Business Houses are Burned Salisbury Ap pealed to for Help. Statesville, Nov. 24. Fire of an un known origin which originated in the basement of iHamoy's candy kitchen, entirely destroyed the Hotel Iredell building here at an early hour this norning, the structure burned being jne of the largest in th city. In ad dition to th loss of the hotel building which was complete, the stock of mer chandise of the McLelland stores, the (redell barber shop, Hamoy's candy kitchen and the Iredell Produce com oany, were completely burned up. The property loss based on a conservative jstimate is above $100,000, the losers being as follows: Hotel Iredell build ing, valued at $10,000 with $16 000 in surance; McLellan stores. $17,000 with $10,000 insurance; John H. Gray, pro irietor Hotel Iredell, $3,000, no insur ance; J. G. Hamilton, owner Iredell barber shop, $1,500 loss with 600 in surance; Joseph Hamoy, loss $23,000 with $12,500 insurance, and J. E. Tharpe, owner Iredell Produce com pany, loss of $9,000 with $2,000 insur ance. The hotel building belonged to Stamey .1. Holland, of Statesville, and was built about 25 years ago. The hotel furniture and fixtures was also the property of Mr. Holland. The fire was first discovered by W. A. Thomas, a guest of the hotel who was awakened by the smoke coming in at his window. He st once awaken ?d the proprietor, Mr. Gray, who turn ed in an alarm and then proceeded to waken the guests, 10 in number, who were able to escape with their belong ings. Prompt resoonse and heroic fire fighting ,bv the local firemen is re sponsible for the fact that the whole block in which the hotel building is situated, was not completely wiped out. As it wis, however, the fire was confined to the building, and although at one time it seemed as if the entire block would be swept away, the fire men were able to confinfie its activi ties to the one spot. To the magnifi cent leadership of Col. L. B. Bristol, mayor of Statesville. is attributed the fact that considerable more damage as not done from the conflagration. The msvor was on the spot from the trrt and directed the work of the fire fighting in such a way as to cause the least damage possible, and to him is tccredited the fact that the fire did not spread.

Salisbury Called Upon When the fire st Statesville was at tis heichth and it looked as though the whole busines block along Depot -treet in which the Hotel Iredell was located would burn Salisbury was tel ephoned to for assistance, the call coding to the fir station at the city hall and Chief W. A. Brown wss st once communicated with and he wss ettin ready to make reparation for the taking to Statesville of men and oparetu. However, before .he had assembled the department word came tht the fire wss under control and it was thought it could be hsndled with out the help of the Salisbury firemen.

J the Government With SHERIFF KRIDER KILLS NEGRO MAN Charlie MrKlnley Had Gun Drawn on Sheriff Who Had Gone to Arrest Him (Sheriff Exonerated by Cor orner's July. 'Charlie McKinley, negro, was shot and instantly killed in a railroad shanty car on a siding near the old Surrat storein Spencer Sunday aft ernoon about 3:30 o'clock by Sheriff J. H. Krider, who acted in self-defence. McKinley a short time previous had trouble in East Spencer when he shot five times st Viola Davis, negress. He had been hanging around the woman and she gave him no inducement to show thst she cared for him. She is married and told McKinley to stay away from her. Sunday afternoon he attempted to see her but she eluded him and was going along Long street when he' ifired five times at her snd chased her Into the house of white residpnts. The officers were notified snd Shevjff Krider, Deputy Nash, Offi- cpr Williams and others went out after him. It was learned thst he was in a shantv car on the Spencer yards npar the old Surratt store and when th officers went there they found a nnmbe'- of negro men gambling. Sher iff Krider enterd th door of the csr. which was poorly lighted, and hs had hirtflv gotten inside until he was look ing into the muscle of pistol in the hands of a. negro who afterward proved to be McKinley. The sheriff was too quick for his man and auick n a flsh raised his Pistol and fired. the bullet taking effect nesr the heart and the rgro dronped dead. Sheriff Krider and the other officers then plsced the other men under ar rest and brought them to Salisbury nd fll"cd them in iail and notified Coroner D. L. Sides of the killing, and he nt once summoned a jury snd held n )"nuet. Tn the meantime the body nt the dd neero ws brought to Sumprtt's undertskin" establish ment where it was viewed bv the jury and then is body renaird to the "nmmis'"ner' room in the court V"vts where the ce wn investigat- d.

VioU ifyis. the nro woman who had been shot st by McK'nlev tetifled as to that affiir and said McKinley old her no white man would ever put his hands on him while he had hjs srun. The coroners jury then rendered the following verdict in substance: That Charlie McKinley came to his death by a shot from a nistol In tne hands of Sheriff J.

There aopears to be no doubt but that if it had not been for he quickness of the sheriff in getting Ms p'tol into scrion he would hsve been shot bv McKinley snd probably killed. He regrets the affsir but under te rmimstancps there was nothing else for him to do and he snd all who know the circumstances in the esse feel that he was fully justified in kill in McKinley. The dead nearo wis employed on one of the ection crews or work trains nd hails f?m Alabama snd wss known as "Bam." Among the effects h- rrried in his pockets was a set of ''pe.
