Rhyne re turned last night on train No. 4 3 from New York where he went last Tuesday night in response to a wire from Postofflce Inspector Gregory to Solicitor Wilson saying that "Irlsn Jimmy" was ready for delivery into the hands of the Gaston county an thorities. Mr. Rhyne was accoiti panied home by Mr. Gregory and had with him the notorious yegc man and safe cracker, William Gol den, alias William Dunn, alias "Irish Jimmy." Mr. Rhyne and the now near-nor ed prisoner were greeted at the train by a crowd of Gastonlans. ea ger and curious, despite the fact mat tne nour, ii:.so o clock, wan late. Twice before, yesterday morn ing on No. i!7 and again last night on No. 3.", was the crowd treated to a disappointment when the sheriff and the prisoner failed to appear Manacled by his right wrist to the left arm of Mr. Rhyne by a pair of shiny, steel bracelets. "Irish Jim my" was taken last night to the Gaston county jail and lodged there for safe keeping. This morning about S o'clock when The Gazette man called at the jail for a possible Interview with the prisoner, Mr. Rhyne was just ready to carry breakfast up and the reporter went along. "Irish Jim my" was just waking up from i good nights sleep. Yawning and stretching himself, he Immediately asked for a cigarette. "Irish Jim my" is a low, stocklly built man about five feet, two or three inches in height, weighing ino pounds, more or less. He has a fairly good looking face, small grey eyes and Is clean shaven. His facial appear ance is some what marred by the ab sence of one of his front tc-eth. His general appearance is not that of a professional crook.

When asked about himself, his birth, occu pation, etc., he talked rather freely and like the proverbial Irishman had a twinkle In his eye and was al ways ready for a joke. "1 was born in Ireland in 18(18," he said, in response to questions, "and came to America with my par ents when I was too young to re member. My mother is living, but my father has been dead for several years. I followed the trade of a molder in a cast iron factory tint i 1 rheumatism affected my arm so that I could not work. When I was ar rested In Albany this spring, I was trying to make a living selling foun tain pens on the streets. I have been married about 18 months and the worst thing about my arrest and imprisonment is the way it is affect ing my wife." Golden or Dunn, whoever he is, gives promise of being a mode! prisoner. He is quiet and orderly and talks freely with the ohter pris oners in the jail. Mr. Rhyne had not the slightest trouble with him on the way down from New York. 1'n til the August term of Superior Court he will be confined in jail. There will be no preliminary trial as a true bill of indictment was found against him in Dallas some four or five years ago. More Cold Weather Records. Mr. A. C.

Dills, of Charlotte, Judge of the Fourteenth Judicial District. Recently Created, Composed of Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties : He Accepts Short Sketch of ; Appointee. Gaston countlans will be interest- i ed in the following from this morn ing's Charlotte Observer: j Governor Craig at Ashevllle ye terday appointed Mr. Charles Henry ' Duls of the local bar the first Su- ' perior Court Judge of the Four teenth Judicial District and Mr. Duls accepted. J The announcement does not corns j as a surprise, as it had been praetf- . ally a foregone conclusion for some ' weeks that Mr. Duls would receTTs this honor. He had the endorse ment of a host of his fellow-prae- ; tloners at the Mecklenburg bar, and was backed by a record which attest ed his ability as a lawyer, his sterl ing Integrity of character and his fi delity In the service of the Demo- j cratic party. L There are numbers of lawyers at f this bar who would grace the JudI- rial ermine but It is doubtful It ; there Is one with a sounder knowl- i edge of law than Mr. Duls and It la j certain that there Is none who Is s j more indefatigable worker. It may t he prophesied at the very beginning f of his career that none of the crltl- I clsms leveled at indolent Judges will ever be directed at the Mecklenburfc I man. ' Mr. Duls was born January 7th. 18(11, at Charlotte, being the second son and child of Jacob Duls. a mer- ! chant, a man of force and hlgn, ! character and Wllhelmlne Elts Duls. ' a pious and refined woman Ot strong intellectuality. They wers ' naturalized Germans, residing from ( the later 'iO's until death, first In Charleston, and later for many years In Charlotte. Mr. Duls received a private school and academic educa- ', Hon and also special courses under v tutors. He studied law under the . late Col. Hamilton C. Jones, com- pletlng the law eourse at the Uni versity of North Carolina, was 11- ; censed to prartlre law In August, 1 8 87. at once forming a law ropart- ' nershlp, which has continued for 25 years, with ex-Solleltor Herlot Clark son. He was representative from . Mecklenburg In the Legislature of 1901; State Senator In 1 9 0 r ; attor ney for City of Charlotte for fonr years. 1 901-1 non. He was the first president of the Mecklenburg Coun ty Bar Association (1912); was married June 8, 1S99, at Camden, S. C, to Miss Louisa DeSaussur Davis, a charming and arrompllshetf woman descended of long lines of worthy and notable ancestors, both i maternal and paternal. They have four children, one little girl and three boys. Mr. Duls Is a member of the Lutheran Church. Another Instance. Another example of the way !n which Gastonia merchants are being ' discriminated against comes from the Harry-Haher Company. On a carload of flour from Sebewalng, Mich., the freight rate Is 18 1-2 ( cents to Virginia cities. From those Junction points to Gastonia, the rate i la 27 cents. Ire (Yearn Supper.
