So saying, the gypsy who bad been
telling the fortune of 72-year-oid
Aaron Bostian, farmer of near Landis,
rejoined his fellow wanderers and the
small band of rovers moved on toward
Kannapolis.
After spending several minutes in.
pleasant reverie over nice things the
fortune teller* had said, strange
doubts began to disturb the mental
ease of the. old man. Hadn't the
predictions, been a bit too glamorous,
a trifle too suave ?
Rising slowly from his chair, Bostian
went to the window and took a
lingering look at the rather untidy
band of gypsies who were fast disappearing
from sight.
"Then his hand, as though impelled
by an d&Xeenforce, went lightly to
his hip pocket?lighUy, at 'first?then
frantically. There was ho use looking
a second time?his pocketbook,
containing $75 of the.jcoin of the

knew whereof he spoke when
he said;Bostian was soon to lose a
sum of money.
After a moment of hysteria, Bpstlan
regained his wits and rushed to
the telephone. Getting the Kannapolis.

othor 'end of the wire, he described
the fortune .teller.
A posse composed of Chief of Police
Chapman and several deputies at
?nog-took up the trail. They foiagi
their^prey on the outskirts ef^ ^the
Towel City. Recognizing the fortune
teller from Bostian's description,
they searched him and recovered
all the stolen money. It was returned
to the old man last night,

Kills Two Children I
And Takes Own Lifel
. mmm?mmmmm 1,
High Point, Oct. 28.?J. W. Hinkle, J
u bookkeeper of the Crown Hosiery
mills, killed two pf his Children and!
then ended his own life sometime last!
night in the woods near Hay worth
Springs, a few miles out from High!
Point. The three bodies were found
this, morning shortly after the break
of day by members of j? searching j
party.
From all indications at the place of]
the tragedy Mr. Hinkle killed first
his little seven-year-old girl, Elizabeth,
then his ten-year-old son, Virgil,
and then himself. ; The bodies were
all close together when found. The,
little girl was lying flat of her back
with both arms stretched out ovpr
her head. There wgye no signs that
the child had made "any struggle anJ I
apparently she had died instantly. I
The little boy was lying on his right
side and there were some signs indicating
that he had kicked once or
twice before dying.
The father was lying on his left
side with one hand extended, holding
to a bush, indicating. that he had
struggled sometime before dying, A
38 calibre pistol was found about twoi
feet from the father between Kim and I
the two children.
The Hinkle, family lived at 328]
Woodrow#avenue, this city. Mr. Hin-|
kle left home with the children yesterday
afternoon about 5:30 o'clock.
His Wife, who was preparing $upper
at the time, did not kpow that they
were gone until she went to call them
to supper. The children had been
playiftg in the yard and Mr. Hinkle
had been in the house. Mrs. Hinkle
noticed that the family car, which]
had been parked in front of the house
was gone, and although she could not
understand why Mr. Hinkle had
taken the children away at that time,
she did not become uneasy until nfter
some time they failed to return.
.A search for Mr. Hinkle and the
children was begun by friends of the
family about .10:30 o'clock last nfghr.
4At li O'clock a report that they were
missing was made to the police and
officers joined in the search. After
several hours of searching, a member
of the party suggested that the
Hayworth Springs section be visited.
Mr. Hinkle's sedan wax found <btit
he and the children could not be located.
Flash lights were secured and
the search was continued until 4:30
o'clock but without results and the
party postponed'further efforts until
daybreak at which time the three
bodies were found. ^
The widow and the friends of the
family are unable to give any reason
foy'Hht tragedy. Mr. Hinkle, they
say, had been in ba<l health for some
time, but had not appeared greatly
depressed over his condition. He is
said to have been in goocT spirit* yes- ;
terday. '
Mr. Hinkle, who moved here 15
years ago from West Virginia, was
well known in the city and had long
been an active member of the. First
M. E. Church. At one time he was
superintendent .of the Sunday school
of his church. He was active in the
civic life of the city and was highly
respected.
In addition to the widow, Mr. Hinkle
is survived by ^^16-year-old son,
James, who was at a party with
friends at the time his father andjthe
young children left home-yesterday
afternoon. >

Kemhaw County Girl
Winner In Contest
(Sunday's Columbia State)
Miss Ozella Bradley, daughter of
A. (j. Bradley of Camden, Route 4,
and the youngest of eight children,
was announced the iState Fair winner
of first place in the Four-H club
girls' health contest which has been
conducted through the year by the
home demonstration department of
the state extension service. Miss
Bradley's mother is dead.
The contest got under way about
one year ago, and this summer at
Winthrop, Four-H club winners in
various counties met to participate;
in the district contests. Winners in
these contests were:
Misses Ozella Bradley, Kershaw
cbunty, representing Pee Dee district;
Mildred Reeves, Colleton county,
representing Central district;
Catherine <Long, Newberry county,
representing the Piedmont district.
These district winners were in competition
during the state fair with the
result that Miss Bradley won first
place; Miss 'Long second and Miss
Reeves third.
The physical examinations were
conducted fyy Dr. B. F. Wyman, ?who
With able assistants has cooperated
each year in this Fpur-H club project.
The food, nutrition and growth
phases of the contest with individual
food habit records were under the
supervision of the hornet demonstration
agents and . state food and nutrition
specialist, Miss Minnie Floyd.
The organization and general supervision
was directed by Mrs. Harriet
F. Johnson, state girls' club leader.
The final scoring on physical conditions,
food habits, health habits,
posture, conditipn of skin, hair, feet,
nails and so forth was made last
Wednesday at the Baptist hospital
with Doctor Wyman in general
charge. Since Doctor Wyman participated
in the district judging he
left these examinations to a new committee
of physicians.
For the final judgment of the
three district winners, the following
contributed their assistance as an examining
committee; Drs. A. T. Moore,
O. B. Mayer, W. J. Bristow and T. P.
Growford, dentist. General assistance
was given by Miss Loney I. Landrum,
state home demonstration agent.
The purpose of the health contest,
it is announced by Mrs. Johnson,
state girls' club leader, is to advocate
periodical jhealth examinations in cooperation
with the department of
rural health and sanitation, physical
improvements, and to improve in nutritional
and health habits as one of
the regularly emphasized projects of
the home demonstration department.
"The greatest incentive/' Mrs.
Johnson said, "is for.each club girl
to 'make herself her best exhibit."
As an outcome of this contest, the
highest scoring girl represents the
South Caroliua Four-H club-work ih
Chicago at the National Health contest.
This is included in the program
oMhe national -boy*' and girla' club
committee which is held in connection
withi" the International LiVe Stodfc
exposition. The_ highest place that
South Caifelina fijie yet won .was third
in the national?<Miss Pearl McGill of
Charleston county?three years ago.
it is hoped that throughmore
thorough training in the care of
h?*lth ami proper food habits, that
the stamlard for the health, poetneeend
efficiency of farm youth, may be
raised."
