was aroused. A hurried examination
was made of his books, which reveal
ed a shortage of $5. . Then came a mes

n. money package had not arrived. A
further examination of Cunliff's books
. was made and the enormous shortage

Stop a Row
Asheville, N. C, Oct. 10 Special.
Prof. Charles- Olsen, who recently de
feated Prof. Ono, the jiu jitsu man
and Prof. Schoenf eld in mat contests
here, was cut and painfully injured
last night while attempting to stop a
row between Will, McFee of this city
and another person.
Mr. Olsen was cut across the calf
of the lower leg, the muscles severed,
the knife blade sticking the bone and
serious injury inflicted. Other slight
nits'wpre inflicted on Mr. Olsen's
knuckles, wrist and left and right
chest. These hurts, however, are very
slight. The injured man was taken to
the Clarence Barker Hospital at Bilt
more. Dr. Glenn said this morning
that the wound on Mr. Olsen's leg was
serious, thopgh not necessarily a per
manent hurt. If no complications arise,
said Dr. Glenn Mr. Olsen's leg will
become as strong as ever. The stitches
will probably be taken out within ten
days or two weeks, but he will not be
able to use the leg to any extent for
three pr four weeks.
It is feared that the injury to Mr.
Olsen's leg will necessitate the post
ponement or cancelling of the proposed
wrestling match here Thanksgiving
night, when Mr. Olsen was to meet
the English wrestler, Parr. It is now
certain thait the match scheduled for
Salisbury on the night of October 20
between Mr. Olsen and vLo"nhafdt will
have to be cancelled or postponed.
A Mysterious Shooting
Pittsburg, Oct. 10. As a result of
a mysterious shooting in the fashion
able suburb, .of Emsworth late last
night George Glosen-kamp, whose home
is on Fremont avenue, Avalon, was
shot in the groin after leaving the
home of Miss Lucinda Luty in Ems-
worth, where he had called to spend
the evening. Much mystery surround
ed the shooting and all efforts on the
part of the police to ascertain the
name of the man who did the shooting
have failed. All parties concerned
move in the best society. Indications
point to jealously on the part of an
other caller at the Luty residence as
the incentive to the assault.

Insurance Firemen Work
High Point, N. C, Oct. lO.Special
The screams from the throats of a
hnif-himHrrt whistles tonieht at fif
teen minutes to 8 o'clock threw the ten
thousand Inhabitants of this rUy IntD
a frenEy of excitement. The location
of-the fire was at the mammoth plant
of the Eagte Furniture Company, and
had its origin Jn a dry-kiln.
Thlb plant is located in a rather
thickly settled factory district, and for
several minutes people held their
breath for fear lest the flames should
spread to adjoining factories and
houses and cause a holocaust. But
when excitement was at the highest
the work of the fire departments was
telling on the flames, and the ten
streams of water formed a veritable
wall of defense and the flames were
seen to be under control.
As soon as the' flames' enveloped thr
engine room the great boiler roared and
snorted great streams of. steam, and
the thousands of people on the ground
tumbled over eacl other in the mad
rush out of danger, fearing that the
huge piece of metal would explode. No
sooner was the excitement over in this
case than It was heralded that the oil
house was in fearful danger, and the
onlookers scattered like so' many
winged birds. .
The loss to the plant includes ma
chinery room, engine room, dry-kiln, a
large amount of lumber and other
property. A conservative estimate
places it at $25,000, with insurance. The
finishing room, with a large part of
the manufactured product, together
with the ofnee, was saved. The sam
ple room was badly damaged by fire
and water.
This leaves the company without any
machinery to work with, and puts It
out of business until the necessary
equipment, together with buildings, can
be replaced.
The Eagle Furniture Company was
organized in 18?3. It was one of the
best plants here and occupied several
large buildings.' The machinery room
destroyed was 80 by 140 feet 'and the
warehouse 40 by 175 feet, two stories.
Its specialties of manufacture are
suites, sideboards, chiffoniers, odd
dressers and . beds. The company is
capitalised at $35,000. and Mr. J. H.
MIllls of this place is the largest stock
holder. The officers are F. A. Snow,
president; F. M. Pickett,' vice-president,
and Charles Ragan, secretary and
treasurer. . ' ;

THE DIET PROROGUED
Hungarian Situation Is Less Threa
tening Than It Has Been
Budapest, Oct. 10. The reassembling
of the lower house of the diet -' today
did not bring a solution of the parlia
mentary crisis, but at the same time it
did hot increase the tension. The min
isters attended, but sent to the presi
dent' a royal message proroguing the
house until December 19th. Count Ju
lius Andrassy, one of the coalition lead
ers, strongly, but without violence,
protested against the prorogation. He
declared that the king's personal views
had been put in opposition to the na
tion's will, ' Immense responsibility
rested on those executing this policy.
Deputy Pap, a nationalist, demanded
tha tthe king resign. Deputy Mezoeff y,
a socialist, made a violent anti-dynas-tic
speech. 1
Count Andrassy's protest, which was
put in the form of a resolution, was
unanimously adopted, after Count Liza,
ex-premier, and other liberals left the
chamber.
The situation, although . unsatisfac
tory enough, is less threatening than it
was recently. Public opinion seems to
be depressed. Both houses have now
accepted prorogation under protest.
