UNDER SEVERAL CHARGES
'? ^
One Charge of Disposing of Horse
and Buggy,?Another in Passing Bogus
Notes,?Man Formerly Lived
Here,?Was a Decorator and Furniture
Maker,?Later Soli Lightning
Rods.
Sheritl J. A. Lewis went to Lakeland,
Fla , last week and returned
heie on Sunday with T. F. Kimbal
who was lodged in jail to await tria
on several charges pending against
hm. Tho defendant is well remembered
by the citizens of the town
and perhaps many people in the
country who had business dealings
with him while lie was resident here
for several years and up to abou
1008 when he left under a cloud.
T. F. Kimball lived here for several
years before the year he left
and at first was engaged in wall pa
uering, upholstering and the like"
lie ran out of this and at the time
lie left had been engaged for a year
or two in the sale and erection of
lightning rods. Some i months be?
> ? ' * i U ? ? ,. y-1 ?
' lore D0 l(;It in iwo, lie uurruwcu a
horse and buggy from W. S. McCaslf
ill and he was to use this in his
business free of charge for the feed
and care of the animal. In the
course of time Kimball disappeared
taking the horse ard buggy with
him. He was located at fcicranton,
8. C., where his brother in law C.
F. Kamrow was ehief of Police. He
left Scrauton before the officers got
him under the warrant which was
bworn out by Mr. McCaskell, charging
with disposing of the horse and
buggy.- lfnom that point he was
A traced to various places, but he was
never caught uritil lately the sheriff'
slipped up on him at Lakeland, Fla.
Tne other etiargo against him at
this time grows out of a transaction
concerning some notes he took in
the course of his lightning rod business.
It is charged that he had coi
lected uearly all that was due on
those notes and traded the notes
lator for their full face value.
When Kimball arrived with the
sheriff on tha noon-day train last
.Suuday, there wore many of his former
acquaintances who met him,
and seme of theoi visited him in the
jail. He is an intelligent talker and
shows by his observation that he has
travelled a good deal over the world.
Ho states that ho has a receipt or
acknowledgement of part payment
on the horse and that he has this in
his pocket. He also explains the
transaction concerning the notes,
but whether these will stand him as
a good defense in court or not, the
Herald reporter does nob know.

not ask them to give him a cents

When the freight train arrived in

brought to the office of Dr. Dusenbury,
the Atlantic Coast Line physician
at this point, one Henry Manning,
who had been injured by jump
[ng from the passenger train, a few
yards this side o< the station of Sanford.
He had been riding on "the
regular afternoon passenger train,
and just after the train left San/orc
on iis way to Conway, conductor
DeVaughu found Manning riding on
the platform and asked him to come
inside of the car. This was b-for<
he had taken up the tickets. Noth
ing more was seen of Manning aftei
this, until one of the men working
for Allsbrook Bros., found Manning
lying unconscjois in a railroad ditel
not far from Sanford. Mr N
13. Allsbrook looked after the injured
man and with the aid of the rail
road hands took him up and brough
hitn to Conway on the freight trair
which came along a few hours after
wards.
Manning said he was the son of ?
blacksmith at Tabor, N. C. He s'.a
ted that he had purchased a ticke:
at Tabor to Bayboro, aud told hov
much money he had paid for th<
ticket. But ho had no ticket in hii
posession when found in the ditch
and none could be found in his pock
et9 later. At times he seamed to bi
conscious and was able to give th<
railroad people the informatior
above stated, He had many bruises
but aside from these there were n<
outward signs of injury. After re

Death of Mrs J. 1*. Ludlam.
On December 5th. 1012, Mrs Ceilie
111 Ludlam, wife of Rev J I'. Ludlarn,
died at her home near Adriau.
She was born Sipt. 4th, 1870, and
in early life j lined the Missionary
Baptist Church at Pauley Swainp,
and was ever true to God, her
church and family. No wonder
that the end was easy, for her death
was a triumphant one. She said
she was ready to go and wanted all
the family to meet her in Heaven,
and sent liko messages to hor father,
mother, brothers and sisters,
who were absent. She repeated the
23rd Psalm and the v5rse, "Josus
can make a dying bed feel soft as
downy pillows arc." May God com
fort, the bereft family and^may they
live so that they can die as she diod.
She was a sister of Sept. of Education,
S. 11, Brown and was a woman
of the highest type. She will
be sadly missed in the community
in which she lived,
i She was laid to rest in the Baker
Cemetery in the presence of a large

friends. Rev D, I). Anderson coniimorul
