Winston-Salem, Nv C'Sept; 80.: A sensational story- has1 just reached here" from the1 Wilkes Ashe line. It seems that a Wilkes' man, nam eel Sidney Davis, was arrested last week charged with criminal assault on the twelve-year-old daughter of Adeline Triv ett, of Ashe county. : The pris oner was taken before a: magis trate, and. after a preliminary heariug was discharged, the mag- .istrate stating that the fact that the girl kept the matter a Becret for, seventeen months conyinced him that her story was untrue. New warrants - were immediately sworn -out and" officers .are, now endeavoring to rearrest" Davis,' but it is reported that he has fled the country. The girl's tes timony was to the effect that Da vis met her in the country road in. May, 1902, seized her and pulled her into the woods and ac complished his, purpose, smother ing her sn her screaming could not be heard; that he told Heir tliatif she ever told it she would be killed, and that as she had no father she was afraid to tell it sooner; that she recently got mad with Davis about another matter, and on telling her troubles to the man for whom she worked , un wittingly made a remark that aroused the suspicion of the man, who picked the story out of her by promising that he would pro tect her. , - ; Stealing at Btltncre. -AshevilleN.- C., 'g' the Biltmore estatei -owned by George W. Vanderbilt, and the well founded report to the effect that the office is short the sum of nine thousand dollars created a big sensation here. Mr. Van derbilt is here looking after the matter personally. The defalca tion is said, on excellent authori ty, to be only too real. A com bination of two or three of the office force made the steal. This is the second or third time Biltmore funds have been stolen or misappropriated since Mr. Vahderbilt commenced the im provement of this, the . finest countryestate in America. Mr. Vanderbilt is said to be . greatly worried and hurt over the matter. but it is understood that he will not prosecute the parties. The Deadly Cigarette. Judge Crane, of one of the New York Police Courts, testifies that ninety-nine out of every hun dred boys from 10 to 16 years of age who come before him charged with . crimes ranging from petty misdemeanors to burglary, high way robbery and murder have their fingers stained by cigarettes. He is convinced that the excessive use of the cigarette by boys weak ens their moral sense and makes them easy victims of the passions that -find correction only in the p-isohs. "I would prefer," he says, "to see my boy given to the use of liqu)"ra than to cigarettes." Tragedy Averted. "Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved" writes Mrs. W. Watkius, of Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in. besides.
