Curtis Brower, it is thought, is the ring leader and the direct ing bead of one of toe biggest gang of automobile ihieyes at work in North Carolina at pres ent. A vast quantity of stolen goiodchi, including merchandise of every description, was found in Brower’s garage and in other near-by buildings. The arrest was directed bv of ficers Huffine and Coley Loman police officers of the city of Greensboro .who went to tlje place of Brower and posed as au tomobile thieves, and contracted to steal cars for Brower and de liver them to him at his place here. It was after the agree ment was made with the officers that Bower opened up and told them of the stolen cars he had disposed of, which led to the dis covery of the Greensboro care that had been purloined. Brower has operated a filling station and garage here for a number of years, and had so concealed bis business that most of the good people Jiving in Eagle Springsjbought well of him and wouldTiave given, him a good character. He has recently com pleted a new brick filling station and garage, and everybody here thought be was getting along nicely in a respectable way.

On Jan. 6th, 1875, there was a sleet that felled trees and branch es of trees that gave the woods the appearance of a new groqnd.

Messrs .1. L Teal and J. W. Walker started the pumpe above :he Cotton Mill, .connected the pipes with the town reservoir, and when there was likely to be farther need of water they con nected tha lines witb the milt reservoir. There was no two men who did more to save Rae- ford from destruction that night than Lonnie Teal and John Walker.
