Michaux, Jr., of Burl.e county, North Carolina, where the young men will face charges of haying a hot to death last Saturday morning at SJ:80 o'clock Frank But ler, 30 year* of age, alleged block' ader of Burke county. Cherokee county officers are to night searching for Otis Jolly, young Gaffney man, who is said to have been the fourth member of a party going from Gaffney to the slain man's home in North Carolina, and it is expected he will be apprehended in the near future and taken to Mor ganton. . An alleged confession, made by Koy Hill to the Cherokee county of ficers and to the North Carolina sheriff is to the effeet that the four men went to Burke county to get a car load of liquor from Butler. They obtained nine gallons and drove to Butler's home, where a dispute was raised about tho amount of payment, the Gaffney youths offering $0 per gallon and Butler demanding $7. It is said in tho confession that Butler turned off the motor of the Gaffney car, and Hill alleges that Kondrick fired through tho top of the automo bile while young> Green shot directly at Butler. Although fatally wounded, Butler is said to have walked a distance of 20 yards carrying a five gallon jug of whiskey, entered his home and told his wife, "Those fools have shoi me," after which he fell to the floor ami died. Seen in the jail here this morn ing, Green, who is known to his friends as "Crip," emphatically de nied that he shot Butler. Kendrick refused to discuss the case, but "Shadow" Hill, when approached by his father and implored to tell the truth, : * $oid to h.?v? m ?de the con-, fm.sio'r. ' The wife of the v. a i n man is said to have seen two of the mt*n who came Lu_. hex home on the night of the homicide and Sheriff Michaux said before leaving Gaffney today that he planned tu take his youth* ful prisoners by the Bu?'!cr home, so that Mrs. Butler could identify the two she saw last Saturday morning.

Orderly: No; that's the golfer ? a Scotch gentleman. He's waiting for hi-j ball.
