TELEPHONE 77.
He Turned Over All lib ChurcJiV
Funds and Paper.
Yesterday morning at Charlotte
about 0 0 o'clock, Messrs. Burroughi
and Grier, members of the '.nilding
committee of the First ' Presbyterian
eburch, went to the house of ex-cash-ierJ.
R. Holland of the Merchants'
and Farmers' bank, to get some pa
pers from him. A they went up the
walk, they met one of Holland's chil
dren, who said to them, "Papa isn't
here " Thty thought nothing of it,
thinking the child meant he was np
the street. They went in and saw anoth
er member of the family, who simply
said to them that Holland was not
there; that he bad gone away tbe
night before. They were given the
church papers, as Holland had thought
of thvm and left them with his fam
ily to be turned over to the commit
tee. Grier and Burroughs agreed
that they would say nothing of Hol
land's flight, and they did not except
to the church committee, so it was
not until noon that the city was aware
of it. The knowledge of it, like
everything else connected with the af
fair, was brought to light by bank ex
aminer Miller. Miller asked where
Holland was, saying he had not ben
to the bank during the morning.
George E Wilson went to the house
toinquire if he was there. He discov
ered what Grier and Burroughs had
found several hours before.
No one could answer the. questions
"Where has he gone?" and "How did
he get away?" "Did he go on the
train, horseback, or how?" "Who
gave him money?" "Who assisted him
to leave?" 1
Different theories were advanced as
to the manner and tiuie of Holland's
flight. Some did not believe that he
had left the city; thinking it impossi
ble for him to do so. as he was so well
known that he must needs be recog
nized. Others I think he left, going
horseback, as it was reported that one
of his horses was missing and that he
had taken the train some miles from
Charlotte. He had no money unless
friends came to the rescue, and is of
such a marked type of features that
he could be easily traced. Such a
thing as his leaving had not dawned
upon the public. He told president
McAden that he would die before he
would leave.
Las night a watch was kept on his
dwelling and outhouses for some time,
as it was imagined that he was con
cealed there somewhere and miht at
tempt to leave in the night. A rumor
of suicide was started, but was quick
ly nroved to be without foundation.
r -
Holland's family, the Charlotte Ob
server learns, feel no uneasiness on
this score, as he promised them he
would not take his life.
U. S. district attorney Glenn is
chagrined, now that the bird had
flown, that he had not sworn out a
warrant for the ex-cashier and had
him taken in custody, and very frankly
expressed his regret that he had
yielded to importunity tin the matter.
The error in trusting to Holland not
depart is one that is now perhaps uni
versally recognized.
It is believed that had Hell Dd
stayed and braved th3 affair out,
when his trial came on, he would have
gotten off with one half time. Now,
it is said by one in authority, he will
in all probability get the full time-
ten yeate.
The note that the missing cashier
forged, using J. H. Sloan's name, was
given to bank examiner Miller by Hol
land as among his assets. AfUr Mil
ler saw it, and Holland's purpose had
been answered, the note, it is sup
posed, was destroyed, and it cannot
now be found, although a diligent
search has been made. Millier sup
posed it had been torn np, and looked
carefully for the pieces, but there was
no taace of it. The supposition is
that Holland burned it. Holland if
caught will be tried for forgery as
well as for embezzlement.
ANOTHER FEMALE 'SHLVER.
Deputy Collet tor Walker and Jones
Catch Them Every Time. "
Last Monday morning deputies
Wiley Jones and Walker from the
office of deputy collector Simmons
raptured a male moonshiner and also
a female one in Johnston county. Yes
terday they went to Osgood, Chatham
eounty, accompanied by duputy mar
shal Olive of New Hill., who a few
days ago had spotted a "still."
Olive had gone to serve a warrant on
Lonny Womble and saw the latter
behave in such a way as to show that
there was a still near.
So Olive sent for the deputy col
lectors because hecouldn't(destroy the
still. The posse captured Womble,
who it is said has been a moonshiner
all of thirty years.
They also found, helping him in his
moonshine work, Lila Thomas, a white
woman aged 45 Both of them were
taken to Sanford, before U. S. com
missioner Carr. He gave them until
today to put up bail for their appear
ance at the approaching term of fed
eral court here. If they don't give
this to jail they will go. The woman
in the case took a great fancy to
deputy Walker and begged him to
pray for her. She put her hands caress
ingly on his head and said; "If you
have the love of God in your heart
stiy here and pray for me." She was
standing in a public road when she
thus entreated him. Again and again
she renewed her request. Mr. Wal
ker's clerical appearance misled her
into taking him tor a preacher. There
was another woman at Womble's
house, but is said that she had "noth
ing to do with the case."

The Happenings of a Day Told In
Little Spare.
IB
Why Mr. Bium Took the Place.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer says the ex
planation of ex-congressman Bunn's
being appointed postmaster 1 at Rocky
Mount is that finding opposition to
his nomination, of Mr. Wilcox, who re
sides in the Nash county portion of
the town, he resolved, after discover
ing that the opposition would not be
withdrawn, to tak the appointment
himself and let Mr. Wilcox' be assis
tant. Wilcox is his brother-in-law.
f course Mr. Bunn will not abandon
his important law practice to be post
master of a small town. He simply
retains the postmastership for Nash
county and the fourth district
and keeps it in the family.
