MOUNTAIN CAVE IN RESULTS FATALLY Tunne! in Blue Ridge Caves in and Kills Five, Wounding Sev eral Others. Weaver Suit Re moved to Federal Court. Other News. Asheville, X. C, Jan. 6. Information was received here today that Tuesday a tunnel at the top of the Blue Ridge on the South and Western railroad caved in, killing five men and severely injuring several others. The cause of the cave in is said to be the recent heavy rains. It seems impossible to ob tain the particulars of the affair, but it is said that all the killed are white men and natives of this state. One of the killed is George Metcalf, of Madi son county, and his remains will be sent there for interment. The suit of W. T. Weaver, et al against the Indian Creek lumber com pany and Elbert Tucker, was today re moved from the state courts to the Federal court by the Western district of North Carolina by order of Judge Fred Moore, of the Superior CourrrThe defendant asked for removal on the ground that some of the defendants were residents of this state and others of Tennessee. This suit which is brought by the heirs of the late William Johnson in volves a track of 500 acres of heavily timbered land in Yancey county. The Plaintiffs contend that they are the real owners of. the land, and that the defendants and their agents are wrong fully and forcibly clearing the bound- arv. Pendins: the outcome of the litiga tion, they have asked for and received an injunction prohibiting further clear ing. Five thousand dollars damage is also asked for the timber already re moved. The members of Asheville Typo graphical union No. 263, this afternoon enjoyed a banquet at the Club Cafe in celebration of the amicable settle ment between the Union and Asheville employing printers of differences rela tive to the eight hour work day.

Horseman and Avtomobilists Discuss the Val-.!e of a Horse. Since the imported French Coach and Percheron stallions were brought to Charlotte by McLaughlin Brothers, of Columbus. Ohio, the Question has arisen "has the automobile decreased the value of the horse?" This Question was discussed at length yesterday by a little group of prominent horse fanciers and automo bile enthusiasts, all of whom showed a decided amount of interest. One re marked that the value of a good sound horse today was more than it ever was known to have been. He said a good substantial nlow or farm horse could not be bought for less than $200, while t T 1 ,1 a lew years ago a gooa nurse cuuiu be bought less than half that amount. As an evidence that throuogh-bred animals are in demand and that the automobile has not affected the value of them, the horses brought to Char lotte recently by McLaughlin Broth ers, are being sold at fabulous prices, ranging from $3,000 to $5,000. Some men think, that they are doing a great deal toward remedying this world's wrongs by reciting them. Hallowees Dates The original Persian Fruit stuffed with Texas Pecans of the new fall crop. .
