Cause for the General Alar
Increased as Matter of
One Robbery and ;
Hold-Up Thi
A
There is considerable uneasi- ly
ne8s in Lancaster on account of coi
the recent robberies and suppos- del
ed attempted robberies ; but the ouj
situation is greatly exaggerated, thi
as a number of the incidents cur- on
rently reported have upon inves- of I
tigation proved to be either with- zei
out foundation or tho tacts un- ass
duly magnified. For example, E
it was rumored yesterday morn- ! cai
ing that Mr. llollis Morton, the tec
painter, had shot a man the or
night before whom he saw lun- for
ning away from a neighbor's wi
house, but Mr. ilortonsays there '
is nothing iu the report. While ed
some crimes have been commit - j Ne
ted ol late, they are by no means the
as numerous as the public is led cat
to believe. At the same lime br<
we would advise no one to relax an
his vigilance iu watching out tor ap
thieveB during the present sea- En
6on, for they seem to be more br<
numerous than usual ou the eve the
of theChristmas holidays,not only
here but throughout the entire evi
country. In Atlanta,'forinstance, As

In Lancaster much of the pre- of

Ashville, N. C., special in
Charlotte Observer: Fred Wilkie,
aged 10, was run over by a wt
road machine weighing about ^
500 pounds and died at 6 o'clock nu
this morning as a result of the
injuries received. The road ma- 1,e
chine had just been taken from
the Southern yards and was be
ing taken to Grove I'ark for use t,tl(
in constructing roads there. The P01
machine had been left on a very 0
heavy grade, being scotched tvl
with some heavy blocks. The ln
boy, it seems, knocked the scotch- Pn
es out from.behind the machine,
whereupon it started down the mc
grade and caught the boy belore ^
lie could get out of its course. ^r'
One of the wheels ran diagonally arr
across the boy's body from his r,e
right shoulder down to his left ,in
hipj. The great weight crushed
the body in a terrible manner. ?c<
