Some weeks ago, uncle Tip came down from Bowden's Crater and traded Mr. Len Gatewood out of - his old Winchester. Len told him how he shot a ball through a tele phone pole and it glanced on the pavement and went on through a brick wall and struck the stair case and passed on out behind the house and lodged in a cherry tree. Uncle Tip bought it on the spot. The people along Glide well's Hollow have grown so a larmed over the advent of such a dangerous gun that they are ask ing the Earl of Dennis to have the Legislature convened in ex tra, session in order to have a law passed against the shooting of this s;un any where in Forsyth or adjoining counties. The peo ple of Stokes county are also ex cited about this dangerous gun, and something will haVe to be done and done at once. Died of Diphtheria. About eight o'clock on Tues day morning Miss Pearlie "Walk er, aged about 13 years, living near Daisy, this county, died of diphtheria, and was buried at Mt. Pleasant on Wednesday after noon. It appears that Pearlie had been suffering from what was supposed to be tonsolitis, but after death a physician pro nounced the ailment to have been diphtheria. Who Killed Kobre ? Sunday night, January 21st, Henry Kobre was killed in his room over a bar room in this city. No one appeared to know at that time or for weeks afterward, who did the fatal work. Rewards amounting to $1,600 were offered for the person or persons who committed the crime. t On Monday night of this week, Sam Kobre, a half brother of the murdered man, and William Plean, both Hebrews, were ar rested charged with the fatal as sault On Wednesday a preliminary hearing was given the prisoners before Mayor Eaton, at which Solicitor Graves was present. One Sallie Stewart, a seventeen year old white girl was placed uptni the stand, it having been claimed that she knew a thing or two, and that her knowledge had led to the arrests. Sallie broke down and failed to say much, but the prisoners were bound over to court without bail, and the wo man was sent back to prison on some other minor charge and as a witness. Whether these men killed Kobre, or whether their being held is largely a matter of per haps, the courts and further test imony may determine. It is claimed that another man named Whitbeck figured in the murder, but he is not to be found. Something dark and mysteri- ovi about this brutal tragtdy. Death From Pistol Shot. Harry Campbell, white and a stone cutter, aed 38, and a mar ried man, came to Winston on Tuesday afternoon from Mt. Airy, N. C, accompanied by a young woman named Emma Mc Millen. They went to a room over the revenue office on Main street.. A pistol shot, followed by a woman's scream, brought the janitor, who snatched the pistol from Campbell's hands. Campbell was bleeding from a wound in the head. He was seut to the hospital, where he died two hours later. The woman was held at police headquarters. Campbell had over $400 on his person, the weman said, but no one appears to know what went with it. The woman did not get itf. It developed that Camp bell was nourishing his pistol when it discharged, the bullet penetrating his brain. The wom an was released on Wednesday and left on the first out for Mt. Airy. Some time ago wo announced that it had just been discovered that the inventor of the circular saw was a native of Nortn Caro lina. We can now gladly state that the inventor of the Colt revolver, which is a direct de- - , scendant of the horse pistol, was also a Worth Carolinian. We believe that the inventor of the grindstone was a NorthNCarolini- au, out mere m one or iwu miss ing links in the chain of evidence. Raltigh Enterprise. : i f i i i
