RALPH MURRILL IS
REPORTED KILLED
Berlin. — Officials of the com
pany operating the airplane service
from Berlin to Hamburg are unable
to explain the sudden plunge of the
combination postal-passenger air
plane near Botsenburg while on
the trip to Hapsburg... The plane
carried to Instant death its three
passengers, R. S. Murrlll, of Char
lotte, N. C., Albert Baurlgin and
Senior Cbnaevergara, and Pilot von
Betram. t
The supposition is that the pilot
endeavored to make an emergency
landing, but miscalculated his direc
tion and landed In dense woods.
The Investigating commission has
not yet returned to Berlin, but it is
believed probable it will fall to es
tablish the cause of the accident,
aa there is a complete wreck.
It la explained by the officials
that the wrecked plane was virtual
ly a new one, Its motor having run
for only 44 hours. Von Bertram, a
well known war aviator, made re
peated trips from Berlin to Ham
burg with a machine of a similar
type.
The Identity of the American was
established through an employe of
the American military mission In
Berlin.

Justice Walter Clark’s escape from
possible fatal injuries in the automo

A scalp wound missed the chief jus

that where cheap labor and proper

Creamery Has Rapid Growth.
Chester.—Exceeding all the expec
tations of its supporters by a margin
of six months in receipts of sour
cream and production of butter, the
Community Creamery at ' Chester,
manufactured 3000 pounds of butter in
four churnings last week. Character
ized by County Agent H. K. Sanders
as “Chester’s Big Baby," the Commu
nity Creamery was organized on a
joint stock company plan, the stock
being subscribed by business men and
fanners of Chester and adjoining com-
nunities. Its purpose, as the name
mplies and as the directors insist, is
o aerve not only Chester but all ad-
oining communities as an outlet of
.our cream and a consequent steady
cash market for a farm product.
