A- about1 10 roVlock.'yA message con
cerning the unfortunate accident will
likely arrive here this afternoon. On
account nf the inadequate telephone
nd telegraph "connection from Wat
ling, .coupled with the fact that the
"s scene of the tragedy is Several miles
.. away, it is difficult- to get messages
through and to these reasons, is at
' tributed the fact that a more detail-

OF MR. f- The two little 11-year-old boys who
wandered into Concord Tuesday night
and represented, themselves to the po
lice as brothers from Marion, who
were lost in an. effort to find their
aunt at Newells, are not brothers at
all. . In fact they are no relation
whatever, according to Charlie Haw
kins, of Marion, father of one of the
boys, who came here last night for
bis son. - v.v.ij,. jC,""-,
- The two boys gav their names as
Vie and Olin Hawkins and said tbey
were brothers. . But when Charlie
Hawkins, father of Olin, arrived last
night be failed to recognise Vier At
this- turn of. events Vie' became the
object of a Volley of question from
the officer and he finally unbusomed
himself as to bis identity, -his travels
and experiences with young Hawkins.
The elder Hawkins, so it has devel
oped, left Marion about a week ago
for Richmond, leavii.g his young son
at home. - During the. . parent's ab
sence the youth, answered to, the" call
of the wRd or the dusty highway,
whichever is preferable, and he stalk
ed out of the-, little mountain eity,
journeying to Statesville. ; Theue he
met Vie, who . is none other than
Victor .G,rayJ'; formerly of . Hunters-
vine but lately of Statesville,; Char
lotte, Newells, Concord and th high
ways between and around these va
rious points. : Similar desires lay in
the juvenile' breasts and Vie and
Olin, and a friendship: welded by the
ties, of their adventuresome natures
sprang up between them and "they de
cided to join lots and go forth togeth
er to seek , fame, fortune and ice
eream eones.. f-i-Ufrisi-i'T.
After a short sojourn in the metro
polis of Iredell they journeyed forth

sult is that Olin is back in "Marion
