Anpther Good Man Gone Wron
A sensation was created here
last Wednesday when it was
learned that a warrant was in
the hands of an officer for the
arrest of Lawyer J. B. Buxton,
on the charge of forgery.
The warrant has never been
served. The officer has never
found Mr. Buxton. He has
probably left the country.
The charge is that he forged
the Clerk's and Register's cer
tificate upon a mortgage deed,
by which ho obtained money
from a money lender in New
York, A. L. Richardson. Bux
ton was the agent for Richard
son. G. W. Parlier negotiated
for a loan, and signed up the
mortgage. Buxton sent it on
and got the money. Richard
son sent statement to Parlier
Tor first installment, and Par
lier answered that he had re
ceived no money. A detective
was sent here to- investigate
the matter and it seems the
mortgage had not been regis
tered although certificates of
registration were on it, and as
a result the warrant Was is
sued for Buxton's arrest.
We understand that the
mortgage has been . paid off,
and that Buxton has left the
country. The warrant howev
er is still in the hands of the
officer.
His wife and a bright little
girl whom they had taken to
raise, are still here.
His many friends here had
hoped that he could clear up
the matter satisfactorily. Du
ring his stay here he has been
a quiet, pleasant and accommo
dating citizen, and has made
many friends.
It is probably the old story.
He was to generous, got hard
pusnea, ana went wrong,
wituout intending to injure
any one. It is to be regretted.
A Norel Fight.
A rather novel fight occurred
of the week. A cow and a hog
got into a fight over ' politics
and it seems that the hog was
getting the best of it until the
cow hooked the hog's tongue
off, leaving only a short part of
it. The hog could not eat nor
squeal. The cow carried the
tongue away on her horn Mr.
Duncan had to kill the hog.
This is no fish story.
.
She Saved the Train.
The Hustler.
Miss Alice Forster, who lives
down the railroad about six
miles -from this place, prevented
what might have been serious
wreck Monday afternoon.
A horse, in attempting to
cross the trestle, fell and be
come entangled, and was un
able to get out without assist
ance. Miss Alice saw it and
realized that there .would be a
wreck unless she could flag
down the train which soon
pass. She went up the road
about half a mile and patiently
waited for th? approaching
train which soon hove in sight,
and she succeeded in Slagging
it down, thereby preventing
what might have been a serious
wreck, and loss of life.
Capt. Hawkins was more
than grateful for her thought
fulness, as were all on board.

"The Merry Go-Around," Shooting,
and Other Pleasantries.
The "merry go around" at
North Wilkesboro is the draw
ing card. The pleasure seekers
flock around it day and night.
The svift footed hobby horses
in making their swift rounds
often exhilirates their riders to
such an extent that they feel
like performing a few John
Sullivan acts. And last Satur
da night they all got wrought
up to the highest pitch, and
had several fights. And they
say that all regions round about
yet show signs of' hair, blood
and destruction.
On the same night, John5
iiarnett, a tannery hand, was
shot with a shot gun, and his
legs and feet were ; filled with
shot. Harnett naa taK en a
drunken fellow home and was
on his way to his home, and
just as he got at j the corner
near the Methodist church and
Mr. Hawkins' some unknown
party shot nim. JNo suspicion
as yet rests upon any one.
But the "merry go around"
goes on. i
