" New Editor of The Mountain Scout at Taylorsville Stricken With Paralysis Last Night and Died This Afternoon. News reached the city early tr.' morping that Mr. Carl Matlusoi' had suffered a stroke of paralysis in his new home at Taylorsville and that his death was expected at any time. At 2 p. m today d telephone mes sage from one of his friends says "Mr. Matheson is very low; he is just alive. That is all 1 1 can say and but little hope is enter tained for his recovery by the at tending physicians." . rom tne same source it was also learned that Mr. Matheson re tired at the usual hour last night and that to all appearances he felt as well as usual. At least he was not heard to complain. This morning his mother went to his room at about 6 o'clock to call him and found her son uncon scious. She gave an alar mand Doctors Hollor and Crowson were summon ed. The verdict of the medical men was that their patient had suffered a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Matheson is well known in this city, where for years he was employed as a printer by Mr. Brady. About a year ago it became nec essary to amputate one of the un fortunate man's lower limbs and he had never fully recovered from the operation. Nevertheless he had been "out and about" for some time and recently bought out the lease of the Mountain Scout at Taylorsville, held by Mr. O. E. Crowson. His many friends in this city ha His many friends. in this city had hoped to see him do well in his new field and they heard with much sorrow of his latest misfor tune. Later. At 3:30 .this afternoon a dis patch was received atThe Mas cot office saying that- Mr. Mathe son had died a short time before. He was married and had one child. For nearly 15 years he was employed by Mr. J. A. Brady of this city. He was a first class printer and reliable. His circle of friends was a wide one.. Bold Theft by a Negro Boy WAS NOT FIRST OFFENSE. Cash Drawer of a Lincolnton Store Was Rifled by Youngster While Clerks are Busy Boy Was Caught and Money Recovered. 'Lincolnton, Oct. 12.- A very bold but not quite'suecessfuUtheft occurred in the. dry goods depart ment of the .Wampum Depart ment Stores here last evening, about 8 o'clock, the thief being a negro boy, McKinley Smith, aged ibout 11 vears. The store was rowded, all the clerks were busy, and while no one seemed to be looking his way the boy sneaked behind the counter, opened, the cash drawer and proceeded to partake of the contents thereof: He was discovered, however, by Mr. J. Reinhardt, one of the clerks and caught. Mr. Reinhardt began to search him and had found $G in silver when the lad, getting scared and perhaps thinking of the gallows, ran through the gro cery department and escaped out the back door. He was caught and the balance of his booty, $47 in currency, taken- away from him. This same boy about a month ago stole a'cash box containing $13 and some valuable papers out of the bicycle shop of Mr. A. P. Setzer, but was caught behind the store trying to open the box with a nail, and the cash was recover ed. He was arrested but, being considered too young to be dealt with by the law, was let off with a thrashing by his mother. For the offense of last night he was ar rested and put in jail. He mil likely be more severely dealt with this time. 4 HACKETT HERE TONIGHT. - Good Roads Meeting. i 'County Commissioner N.
