Xlberal and Cheerfully Prompt
To the Editor of the Telegram
Of the $750 subscribed to the monu
ment fund less than $50 remains un
paid. There is in this a cheerful
promptness that argues well for the fu
ture of the Battle Ground Park. It is
most encouraging and encouragement
was needed.
The recent issuance of fifteen new
shares of stock to individuals within
the ciy's limits and to the city itself
discovers a keener interest in and a
juster appreciation of the enterprise
than has heretofore existed. Then too,
the recent enlightened action of our
City Fathers, through their donation
was very small, gives all now a com
mon interest in the grounds makes
all feel that they are part owners of the
same and it enabled many to put in
their mite, who were desirous of so
doing, but were simply unable to con
tribute such an amount as they were
willing to have published in the pa
pers. It is most desirous that the small
amount of subscriptions yet aue,should
baid in as soon as possible. Please
don't forget this longer. . -

Fisher Loses Ills Case
Wilmington Star, 17th.
The case of W. E. Worth, receiver
of the Greensboro Coal and Mining
Company, against B. J. Fisher of New
York, was decided In'the Superior court
yesterday afternoon adversely to the
defendant, whereupon a motion for a
new trial was lodged by Col. Jno. N.
Staples and Messrs. Rountree & Carr,
counsel for Col. Fisher. Upon the ques
tion of amount plaintiff is entitled
to recover, the jury answered $1,000
with Interest from June 1900, the date
of summons In the action.
The "crdict was rendered upon-the'
instruction of Judge Hoke as in his
view only a point of law was involved.
The contentions of both parties to the
suit were given at some length in these
columns yesterday and the following
are the issues submitted to the jury
and the answers thereto:
Was Greensboro Coal and Mining
Company a corporation as alleged In
complaint? "Yes."
Was the plaintiff appointed receiver
in creditor's bill against said company
in which said company was adjudged
insolvent and that a collection"? entire
subscription of all the stockholders
holding assessable stock was necces
sary and required to pay outstanding
debts of the company? "Yes."
Was defendant such a stockholder
of the said company at time said ac
tion was instituted and said decree
made? "Yes."
What amount, If any thing, Is due
and owing from defendant to plaintiff
by reason of unpaid subscriptions?
"Yes, and to the fourth issue $1,000,.00
with interest from June 1900, date of
summons in this action."
The other cases, in. which Mr. Worth
receiver, is plaintiff and set upon the
calendar for this week, were left open.
It is probable that the question of . a
new trial will be heard by Judge Hoke
very soon.
Mr. W. W. Wood returned at noon

DARING BOf PRE-
VENTS-A ROBBERY
PLUCKY TUSSLE WITH BURGLARS
CLEVELAND TOUHU BOUND AND
GiGGED IN HIS FATHER'S OFFICE
Fifteen Year Old Son of John A. Young
Seeing a Light in HI Father's Office at
Three O'clock This Morning Unshed Out
of His Beam and to the Office Only to be
Confronted With Four Pistols in the
Hands of Two Burglars Tried to Shoot
Thfiu and Succeeded in Swiping One
With His Pocket Knife Before He Was
Left Prostrate With the Office Towel im
His Mouth.
A daring attempt at safe blowing
near this city was frustrated last night
by a plucky fifteen-year-old boy Cle
veland Young, son of Mr. John A.
Young, the nurseryman. The at
tempt was on the safe in Mr. Young's
office on his plantation about 3 miles
from town. Mr. Young was away from
home last night on a trip to Mt. Airy.
Even had the burglars gotten ipto the
safe they would have gotten nothing as
there was in it no money other than
some very small change. But they
dldin't get In, and on that hangs a most
interesting story of how a boy of grit
fought two men in the dark, and be
them was overcome, bound, gagged,
and tied up to await the morning, while
the robbers sped away in a buggy.
Mr. Young's house is across the road
opposite the office. His son Cleveland
sleeps in an upstairs room near a win
dow, from which can De seen the of
fice. For some reason he woke up
about three o'clock this morning and
saw a light flash across .his window
from the "direction of the office. He
jumped out of bed with the thought
that the office, was on fire inside, and
hurriedly put on his clothes and rush
ed down, leaving the house by way of
a back stairway and. arousing; none of
the members of the household, there
being no man in the house. His ap
proach must have put on guard the
two men whom he found to be in the
office, for as he rushed up to the win
dow to peer in to see what had become
of the fire, they sprang from the door
each with two pistols, and commanded
him to be quiet and to come inside.
Taking him in they commanded him to
open the safe, but he replied that he
did ' not know how. They said that
they would shoot him if he didn't.
"You'll have to shoot, then," he repli
ed. Finding that an entrance to the safe
was not to be effected, the men began
to be restless and explained to each
other that the boy would be missed
from the house and they would be set
upon. One of the men proposed to
bind the boy and. carry him with them,
but the other objected, an dthey dectd
?A to tie his hands behind him, gag
him, and fasten him to the furniture
of the room. They used the office tow
el for a gag, and wadded it in his
mouth so that he could make no noise,
but they had no rope to tie tb boy
with, and one of them asked him where
a rope could be found. "He replied in
the barn. They pushed him in the cor
ner, one went for the rope, and one re
mained to guard him, warning him that
he would shoot at any provocation. It
hajned that they had, in the' dark,
pushed the plucky boy In the corner
where he had a few days ago put a
loaded sixteen shooter rifle, and when,
he recollected that the rifle was there, -he
determined to get hold of it and
give the robbers a battle. He had got
ten hold of it and was slowly raising
it when his captor discovered that he
had something in his hands, and snatc
hed it from him. Then the boy Otiietly
drew but and opened his pocket knife.
When the confederate returned, : the ,
twbxnen began to bind him, and be-
fdr-i they were aware that the knife
was out, he slashed one of them, across
the arm and side. The blood is yet
on his knife. Having scceeded in
fastening him. to the safe, the men left,
got in their buggy and drove rapidly
away. In about two hours, by the help
of the dawning light, Cleveland suc
ceeded in freeing himself. He came
to town this morning and informed the
police.
The men were well dressed and wore
masks. One was a small man, and one
a large one. Thelarge one wore tan
shoes, the boy said, and the small one
had on patent leather ones.

There is little wonder that the aspiring-
young- newspaper man, whose
first assignment carried' Him to the
geological survey r felt like seeking
some other profession, after he had run
against genuine scientific treatise on
matters geologic. Perhaps many an
older man in the service would here
been staggered to learn that "until
the presence, of the Algonkdan rocks
was determined the writer entertained
the working hypothesis thai & large
laccolith of porphyry might have been
Introduced et a horizon near the base of
the Paleozoic formations, but the ap
pearance of the pre-Paieozbdc rocks in
the heart of the mountains, with on evi
dence of the hypothecated laccolithrTen
ders it improbable that the uplift can
be primarily connected with porphyry
intrusion." However, it was gratifying
to know, relates the Washington Post,
that "all tho sheet rocks and many
dikes are included petrogTaphically
under a single name, monzonite-Jpor-
phyry, expressing the composition,-, in
which the alkali feldspar orthoclase,
and the sod aline feldspar, pEagioclase,
are estimated to play approximately
equal roles. The further composition
of the rock is expressed by saying that
it is a quartz-bearing hornblendic mon-
aconite-porphyry."
Many a man would perhaps sleep
sounder at night if he were only aware
that "the hornblendic monzonite-
porphyry intrusions and the monsonite
stock are by far the most important of
the igneous masses m the Rico moun
tains. The rock is in composition a
monzonite-porphyry in which ortho-
clase assumes a prominent position in
large phenocrysts, while plagioclase oc
curs in part in the gronndmassw The
rock is more closely related to the stock
monzonite in composition than to the
earlier hornblendic monzonit
phyry."
Imagine the thrill &ai rah down
his spixna.when he learned that "con
tact metamorphi&m of the calcerons
strata, esljacent to the monzonite stock
is very pronounced at nearly all places
where the fffner rocks are exposed in
the vicinityof the intrusive."
But after all he derivetTthe most sat
isfaction from learning, much to his
surprise, that "if the quiescent neve
was ever permanently frozen in the
nivated areas, many of ;the berg
schrands' must have been situated well
above the spheroid of perpetual frost.'
