Friday aud Saturday beat the
record for local accidents of a more
or less serious nature, resulting ia
painful harts to the persons in
rolved. The must serious one was
very bad, iudecd a boy's arm was
tor" to shreds iu a gin, ueenstitat
ing amputation.
itn Friday Mr. Frank lYesley,
who lives above town, came to
Shute's Bear Skin gin with cotton.
His sou, Hanan, bftecn years of
age, accuiupanied him. As the gius
were ruuniug, the boy, passing one
of them, reached out his hand to
press down the cotton. The baud
was caught and jerked iuto the
saws. The poor lad's cries brought
help aud the niachiue wasstopml.
Dr. Blair was 'phoned for and
haste ued to the giu, reaching there
before tbe men bad succeeded in
getting the arm out But for the
timely arrival of the doctor the boy
might have bled to death, but the
arm was corded so as to stop the
loss of blood. So soon aa arrange
ments could be msde, Dr. Blair,
with Drs. Stevens aud Monroe, cut
off the arm near the shoulder.
The teu year old son of Sir. John
Jerome of ingate fell from a
hickory tree Saturday and broke
both his arms. Dr. .Monroe went
down and set tbe bones of the un
fortunate little fellow.
Friday night as oue of the trains
came in, a negro man who was in
a hurry to get on, rushed for the
train before it stopped. He caught
it on the chiu, aud was pretty paiu
fully hurt, but not seriously.
A colored hand working on the
road near Waxhaw was hurt Fri
day. A piece of steel splintered
from the hammer which be was
using and embedded itself iu his
thigh. Both of these cases were
looked after by Dr. Stevens iu the
aliscuce of Dr. Blair, the regular
railroad physician.
On Sunday as Sliss Aline Fletcher
was coming down the stairstep at
her home, she slipped aud fell.
She was carrying a pitcher at the
time and this was broken and a
piece or it gave her a most painful
cut ou the arm, aud she was also
pretty liadly bruised.
While Mr. Vemc Austin was
crossing a foot-log, down ou tils
father s farm in liuford township
Friday, his foot alipiied and he fell
across the log, striking on his ri'!it
side. While lie was not hurt more
thau a slight jar, the seriousness of
the mishap will at once become ap
parent when it is recollected that
he lately underwent an oieration
for appendicitis, in which his life
bung in the balance for days, aud
he has not yet fully recovered his
strength from the effects of it.
A Bad Nigger Captured.
There is uo more interesting ex
ample of the "had uiggcr" in a
mild form than John Hough. John
was a charter member of the chain
gang, aud has been on it more or
or less all the time. Just as quick
as one sentence was served he would
turn rogue again nud get Lack. He
ofteu wou the place or trusty, ami
was quite a useful hand. He has
had several long terms, and is now
in jail on a charge that is sure to
go hard with him. Within a week
or the time be got off the gang last
winter be and Ode Austin, another
charter memlier, went to tbe home
or Sir. Daniel I). Rogers, au old
man who lives alone in Buford
township, and robbed him. Sus
picion quickly fell on Austin and
Hough, and Ode was arrested.
Wheu this occurred John happened
to be butchering a hog dowu about
the deHt, and hearing or it, he
"burnt the wind," t Chief Justice
Flow expresses it in legal phras
eology. Ode was tried, told a
straight story about it, aud at once
hegau a three-year term on the
chain gang for hia part
John's itinerary embraced Atlan
ta, Charlotte, Rockingham, Albe
marle, Kershaw and Chesterfield,
where he was captured ou a war
rant fioiu 'Squire Flow ou Friday
As one of the diversions on the
trip, John got married in Stanly
countv. though ho has a wife iu
Monroe.
The circumstances of the rob
bery, as related by Sir. Rogers and
Ode. are tiicse: John and Ode
agreed to go to Sir. Rogers' house,
after John had hid his hat and
shoes in the woods, and beg for
money to help him get some shoes,
trusting for a cbauce to rot) mm
When tbe old man showed his
money, which they expected him
to have in considerable quantity.
Sir. Rogers says that John grabbed
the hand that hod the purse and
tried to take it, but that he held to
it until he was drugged across the
floor. Capt Fletcher brought Ode
up from tbe chain gang and be tes
tified against John, who was re
uianded to Jail to await court
