THE TURKEY CAUSED
A Coroner's Inquest In Durham
Yesterday
At Durham yesterday, says the
Durham Globe-Herald, just before
noon, Dr. N. M. Johnson, county
roroner, was notified that there was a
dead body on the roof of the court
house, and death was supposed to be
caused by a gun shot. ;
A jury was empannelled, and climb
ed the ladder to the trap door in thej
slate roof. After being duly sworn,
they took off their shoes to slide down
to where the body lay, showing to the
expectant crowd below that some of
them were disciples of Jerry Simpson.
The body reached, it proved to be a
young female fowl of the species tur
key, and the evidence adduced proved
to the satisfaction of the jury that,
said deceased had escaped from a
country wagon and taken refuge on
the pinacle of justice where it came to
its death by a shot from a policeman.
The .great wrong of the whole busi
ness is the practical joke practiced on
the authorities in getting the fifty
cent turkey off the roof at the county's
expense.

A Mistake Nearlly Gave Him
Liberty.

ted here late yesterday afternoon by
deputy marshal T. D. Watson and
lodged in jail for retailing whiskey
without going through the formality
of obtaining a li ense.
Edmund ha besu at work on the

offence for which he now languishes
in jail. When he went to the roads
the understanding was, that when he
finished settling his account with the
county, he should be returned to the
sheriff to keep until the United States
could have a whack at him. This,
Mr. Gray, who has charge of the
workhouse ga ng forgot so, when Lewis'
time was out, he was released. For
three weeks the officers searched in
vain ; but they get him yesterday.
Raleigh's New Electric Lighting
Company.
This afternoon the stockholders of

here. They decided to authorize an

way equipment.
The plant is to be one of the best in
the south and will be able to furnish
beautiful incandescent lights at a cost
little, if any, more that of gas. The
metre system will be used.
The electric plant is one more step
towards making Raleigh the most
modern and up to date city in the
state. The enterprise deserves en
couragement and will get it.

Borrowed Shirts from Whom ?
The Greensboro Record hasanamus
ing story of a nero man who was
tried at the last term of Rockingham
criminal court for stealing a shirt from
a prominent physician of Reidsville.
The ease was pretty plain and it
looked as if the defendant was about
to get in for it, so he went on the wit
ness stand in his own behalf.
He stated that he did have the doe
tor's shirt on Lis back on the Sunday
specified, but that he did not steal it
only borrowed it. "Why," said he,
"hen I lived in Greenslxjro I worked
for a do, tor there and every Saturday
night I took his shirt and wore it ou
Sunday and on Monday I pot it out to
wash, and he never 'kicked' up no
fuss about it. 1 didn't think my new
boss would care about such a thing."
He was acquitted, but before he
came from the witness-box Col. More-
head whispered to the solicitor to ask
him what doctor in Greensboro he re
ferred to and he answered promptly,
but we leave our readers to guess who
it was.
