On the day oh which the incident oc
curred the entire party. had gone to
the mountains for a short visit, taking
along with them7 a lunch. Upon their

wards the other? .members of the party
heard - the little' girt" scream.1 Greatly
alarmed ' they ran :to investigate the
cause of the excitement. V Upon reach-.
ring the Spot where the child was stand
ing they were horrified to find a large
snake of the highland , moccasin -va
riety had coiled itself around the little
girl's left .leg just above the ankle and
was presumably preparing to strike.-
Frightened , beyond , description, but
still retaining her courage, , Mrs. Cox
picked up a limb lying itear1 at hand!
and struck :at the reptile's head," and
she succeeded In; killing it ht (he first
blow. ' !
The little girl was then" returned to
her frantic, sister. Misa. -Mildred Ball
and the party returned' home without
delay. ;But for the presence of .mind
and courage of Mrs. Cox the tittle girl
would have, doubtless been bitten by
the reptile and if such had occurred the
results would have doubtless proved
fatal.

' Ashevillf j. N. C, August 15. A lone
trm'i robber, masked and armed,
boarded Southern Railway train No,
13, Spartanburg to Asheville at 10:0
tonight aa it .was leaving Biltmoce,
three mites irom tnis city ana cover
ing . the exnress messenger.. E.F.
is presumed- that? the robbgt, left the
train as H slowed up for the Asheville
yards. v .
When the train arrived at 'the Ashe
ville. station express employees found.
Carr locked in the chest.. When -re
leased,! the express messenger "was un
able to give a description of his assail
ant, saying' that the latw was com
pletely masked. ; "7 ,
.The train was an hour late at Bilt
more a. fact of which the local police
department say the robber, was aware.
The express' messenger ; says he ha
just finished arranging-his packages,
preparatory : to, leaving ' the' train - at
Asheville,' 'when he was confronted by
a masked stranger with a loaded re
volver, " who " demanded , his money.
Catr states that the robber then bound
his hands and forced , him (Carr to get
into the chest which he locked.; . ' v'
The alarm - was quickly -'givcir- at
Asheville and several policemen were
sent -toward Biltmoro on a special
trains Other members of -'the ' force
boarded train "No. r 35, which leavef
Asheville at 10:50.", .It .'was' thought
that the robber might have attempted
to escape on this train. At midnight
tonight, j the police , and express , offi
cials were still without a clue.
Messenger Carr, up to July 21st, was
a clerk in the Southern Express office
at Marion, N. C, when he was given
