There is no motive for , the act
though the affair was given a turn to
ward the sensational bv a telegram
from Ashevolle stating thai Winn bad
a. wife in an AsheviUe samtarinm.
The woman who was supposed to
have been his wife is a decided blonde,
She has been in Charlotte about two
months.
Mystery will perhaps forever sur
round the deatn. Just now the acci

be known, for the reason that no one
was near "who sawit.'-.' .i'-.r-:-
Only a muffled report came from the
room that only a minute or so pre
viously bad been oceupt d by the man
and his wife, .
'I'll write a telegram or a letter, '
he said, according to the woman, and
she, went in search of paper. The door
was closed when she left the room and
was toot locked when she returned.
With a scream that was piercing, she
called for assistance and immediately
several people were on the scene.- Pp-
on a packed trunk was the carefully
packed valise. In this were many
self-addressed envelopes, showing the
nrm name of the dead man along with
linen, etc. ; Nothing was there to in
dicate that suicide bad been planned

Special to News and Observer. ' V-
.Monroe, February 28. The people of KMh Carolina voted by a big ma
jority in a fair and square deal to try prohibition in North Carolina. They
expected their withes to be carried out ta ood faith. In the Democratic
lland-Book in the last election the authorised representatives of the party
issued a challenge to the Republican party fo take np the fight against the
action of the people in voting prohibition. ; The people returned the Demo
cratic party to power by an increased majority. A Democratic Supreme
Court has pot a construction upon the law of the people in the elub decision
that nullifiestheir clearly expressed wishes,' and ao far this Democratic
Legislature has failed to clarify thia wrong by passing the anti-dub bill.
If the temperance people are compelled to carry this question back to the
people again, whose fault will it be 1 ' ' i' -wv''..
As a loyal Democrat and a conservative tfemperane mail and in the name
of the temperance people of the State, I appeal to our Legislature to pot the
anti-club bill through at.once. It has too long dallied with an important
matter already. . v . it.. tf.AOLds.i, .

Hon Sicked Itself to Death?
Monroe Enquirer.
Prof. T. M. Wiley, who is teaching
school at Bethel, Cabarrus county,
lost a horse a few days ago by death
in a very .peculiar manner. The horse,
was left haltered in the stable and in.
scratching an ear with a hind foot
got the calks of the shoe caught in the.
halter by the side of its head and
kicked itself to death. The animal
was in a dying condition when found,
its head was braised and bloody and
blood covering one side of the stable
walls. The halter was a strong one
and the horse's foot had just enough
play to strike a strong blow. ;
