Saturday ninlit between tbo
hours of midnight and day the
grocery store of A. (). Jones, on
! Main stieet, was entered by buri?|..ca

luin (inn nun/rvi ui (u?um 1(1
cash. Entrance to the store was
made by prizing a wire screen
from one of the front windows.
The money stolen had been deposited
in the oftiee safe, but by
an oversight Mr. Jones had closed
; the store and left the safe unlocked.
This made it easy sailing
j for the thieves, for all was necessary
was to enter the building, pry
open the small safe drawer and
lift the contents. In the drawer,
besides the $25 in silver, were a lot
; of pennies and checks, such as are i
| used by the store of the Fort Mill
Mfg. Company. The rogues evi-;
1 dently were not hunting small fry,

i Sad Death at the Dam
>
i One of th? saddest accidents
, . that has ever happened at the dam ,
' occurred Friday morning about t>
i o'clock, hi attempting to stop
I three ears loaded with rock that
' | had broke loose from the engine
on the company dummy line, A.
i | A. Brown was carried over the cofI
fer dam into the river The body
i was recovered at t o'clock in the
afternoon some 50 or 75 ynrds be1
low the dam. It is supposed that
i young Brown was caught and held
fast to one of the cars, as he was j
, still hanging to the cars when it
I dashed over the dam into the water i
1 in passing over the cotter dam liis j
? head struck a piece of timber pro'
| ducing a bad fractuie of the skull
and it is very likely that death re |
' ; Bolted from this wound before the |
unfortunate man reached the water, j
Youne Brown was 22 years old and !
> , tvas thoHon of Mrs. Duncan Brown,
of Hillflboro, N. ('. He had been j
studying a course in civil engineer- |
? ing the past two years in the Agri- j
* cultural ami Mechanical College, i
at Raleigh, and had been employed
j at the dam only six weeks, having
went there to work through vaca
I tion, thinking he might gain some
. practical experience in his studies,
i i At the time the accident' mured
1 he wns assisting the foreman on
the concrete platform in having
f the rock cleared away as they were
. dumped from the cars. He was
given this position only the day
> before the accident occurred.
The body was taken to Rock
. Hill in the afternoon and prepared
| for burial, and Saturday morning
j D. E. Brown, brother of the de.
| ceased left on the north-bound
, train with the copse, for Hillsboro,
. ; where the remains were intered in i
, the family burying ground.

, nacs, was the first of the dog days,
