WHOLE NO. 353 lSEVD.TJ 1 DOLLAR, I v n GIYE US A TRIAL 1 HE LOOKS LIKE SPIfE WORK. Toioirromu mil For the Arrest . of jno. - Napp for Horse NtelinK-tle Is Innocent. Yet Pursued. It is all about a small black horse, about ten Tears old. The Standard knew the first of the week that a warrant cauie here from Lancaster county, S. C, from the sheriff to Sheriff Sims for the arrest of Mr. John S Sapp, late pro prietor of the Morris House and a son of Citizen W S Sapp, Concord. The warrant charged that Mr. Sapp had stolen a horse and a letter accompanying stated . that he was heading towards Concord. Mr. Sapp did carry u horse out of South Carolina and he walked 17 miles that cold Saturday night too cold to ride. He brought the horse to Fred Starnes, of No. 10, on Tuesday Hearing that there was a warrant in Concord for him, Mr, Sapp came up here Wednesday to investigate and give himself up if necessary. The sheriff did not arrest him, this itpon advice of his attorney. lie telegraphed the sheriff of Lancaster that Sapp was here; answer came back to arrest him. Sheriff Sims, upon advice of his attorney, has not and will not arrest Mr. Sapp as facts are now. The Standard made no publica tion of the warrant business, because one may expect anything from Till man's State, and we believed that there might be something wrong. We interviewed Mr. Sapp and this was his account : In October, 1891, Fred Starnes, of No. 10, 'his county, sold to John Beckham a horse. To secure the payment Staines took a mortgage on the horse. Later on he moved to South Carolina. There he disposed of the horse to a merchant Fitz patrick, who afterwards sold the horteaia a -colored man for cash. Starnes learned that the horse was near Lancaster, but con Id not find it. He met up with John Sapp, who lives in Union county, near the State line. And he to!d Sapp that he wonld pay him liberally to get the horse. Sapp went before a trial justic-1, showed the mortgage itself and secured papers by which to take the horse. The papers were put into tae hands of a constable ana witn SanD and a man who knows the hcrae went in search of it. After - a whole day's ride they found the place about 9 o'clock at tight. The colored man at first refused to give hi ii np, but when the constable showed him the papers and reasoned with him. he consented for the horse to be taken. This is the story. The warrant calls for the arrest of the constable, S'.pp and the fellow that recognized the horse, i'l Several parties from southern Ca ; foamis, among others Mr. U A Kluttz, say this horse is Starnes, and Mr, Klutfz himself wro'e the mortgage in 1891 and Mr. Sapp ex . hibited it. The story seems perfectly straight. It is believed the colored man went to Fi zpatrick end that he i the one thut .vacts yengeance out of some on?. The Standard is glad Mr. Sapp cm clear it up. He doesn't claim to be an acgel and he certainly would not steal a 10 year old black horse, that had survived a mortgage ever since 1891. We speak of this matter at this length, because of the report having been circulated that - Le had stolen a J-orse.

The poiiticai atmosphere here is calmer but tie opponents of Pritchard are still sullen. The main feature now is the contest over seats in the As sembly There are seventeen cases. The bitterness of the fusiouis-b toward the Democrats grows. To day there was a bitter attack on the Democrats because certain com miseoners would not allow a Pop ulist sheriff, newely elected, to take r is seat because he could not give bond. This was from Pitt county, and many like con tests from other counties are promised. It is said that Holton has not congratulated "Pritjhard and this promises some ducuasioB, but urless some such split comes, the fury of he victorious party is expected to increase as the session grows.

The goci people of St. Andrew's pastorate are not spiritually dead, as some might suppose.

"Surrender" Woes. Washington, D. O, Jan. 14. The "Surrender' (V.) postoffice, where, under the famous apple tree, Lee handed his sword to Grant, is "Ap pomattox" once more. The Pos.cffice Department has found a way of bringing about the change by calling the new county seat, formerly known as "Nebraska," "Vest Appomattox," and restoring to the original Appomattox its his. toric camp. An elaborate official explanation accompanying the change shows that the selection of the name "Sur render" was on the advice of Mr. Harry St.George Tucker, representa tive in Congress for that district.

Gov't Reportr JgsS!g$ ABSOLUTELY PURE GETS THIRTY YEARS. Jack Wliuberly's Murder Trial in Rnlcleh. Ealeigb, Jan. 16. In the Super ior Court here today the jury re turned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree against Wyatt Perry, the slayer of Tom Bailey. The verdict is popular. Terry was greatly relieved when it was an nounced. He will be giyen thirty years imprisonment. The trial of Jack Wimberly for the murder of his young daughter, Tana, began today. George Mills, the girl's uncle, who was convicted of her murder and is under death sentence, was on the witness aland. For a long time he said he murdered his niece ; that when it was discover ed that the girl was about to become a mother her father said : "George, you must kill her ;" and that her mother said : "George, we have been very good to you and you must put ber out of the way." Mill swore that Wimberlytold.him to take the girl to a deserted house and that if tie returned and left her alive a worse fate would befall him. Mills said he gave Iana laudanum and when she became sleepy he crushed her skull with blows. He thought she was dead and went to Wimberly's house and told him so. Wimberly searched for blood marks on Mills aod made another daughter wash them off. Wimberly and his family made plans to divert sus picion from Mills and then sent after neighbors, telling them Iana was lost. When she was brought back almost dead, her father said : ".She is not dead. Why did you not kill her as I told you." Mills-told a very straight story. He said he and Wimberly had both s vorn to lies and that when he was .'emoyed fiom jail to save him from lynchers he had told another lie in saying a negro woman had murdered the girl. A Ncrape Witn Males, We learn that Mr. W W Williams, one of the best farmers of Franklin township, was painfully hurt yester day.

Yesterday morn ing he went into the stable where one of tbe mules was secured and unfastening the halter attempted to take him out. The mule was very wild aed began to rear and plunge as soon as Mr. Williams approached. In the scramble Mr. Williams was thrown and trampled by the mule. He received several bruises on the body and tbe hoot of tbe wild ani mal struck him on the side of the head, cutting open tbe flesh to the skull for a distance of about four inches. While tbe woods are pain ful and cause Mr. Williame ..cnaid-J erable sufficing, they are not col sidered of a serious nature. Salis bury Herald.

Todoy tfan. 18th) is the S8th an niyersary of the big snow storm that tell in Piedmont North Carolina. It is remembered by the old in habitants as the Big Snow 17 inches deep on a level. It was court wees: -in Cabarrus county, it commenciEg on Monday, Jan. 18'ih. It was then, that Dr. Chas. Harris, who had been hen to court, had frozen to death. He was on his way home which was at Cox's mill in No. 2. He got off his horse. He could not make it . any further. He kept walking around a big tree until tbe cold overt came him. In this storm the trains on the N C. R. E. had Borne tough experiences. Both the East bound and West ' bound were snow locked, for fiya days. The East bound train stopped at Jamestown and crew faired tolerably well. The West bound Lung up two miles west of Durham bad a terrible time of it. Cuts 50 feet deep were full of snow and the train could not push through. They were near a countryman's house. He did all be could for the comfort of the passengers. On the Monday after the snow storm the wind blew terribly. The cre7 set about to provide a snow plow and ta work its way back to Durham, While at this whistles .were beard. It was tnree engines ploWine t. way through the cuts coming to 'res- cue tbe train that, in the absence of atefegraph line, no one knew where it was. Tks engines would take a running stait on fills arid levels and. go dashing into cms to pu the snow. Sometimes it took: peated efforts to get through a cut. As far as is knrwn there are but thr..e men now hying who were on either one of those trains. They are: G W Bradshaw and Frank Snyder, of Charlotte, and J W Mehaffey, of Concord. Mr. Mehaffey is the only living one, now known, that was on the West bound train. He was mail agent, now called postal clerks. It was the custom up to a year ago to have annual dinners in remembrance of this day, bat the numcer has gotten down bo small that the survivors are not capable of devouring in one meal the fatted calf.
