C., THURSD 1. I lll ii By Mrs. Cox, a Divorcee in California PERHAPS KNOWN HERE Many People Believe He is a Son of Rev. N. K. Melton, a Methodist Preacher of Former Years. Tho daily papers lait week contained an account of tie killing of one Mrs. Cox aud her daughter, and a man named W. M. Melton, in California, tho three bodies being found dead in a lodging house. It was supposed that Mrs. Cox, with whom Melton had been int mate, had just learned of the existence of a Mrs. Melton in Los Angeles, California, and had shot Mellon and her daughter, and then turned the weapon on herself. Many people here will remember the Rev N K. Melton, a Mifchodist preacher, lie had a son named Walter, and it is stated by some that his initials wore "W. M." Rev. N. K. Mellon was well known in this couLtysomething like tifteen years ago. The following dispatch from Spartanburg, dated January 9.h, seems to bear out the supposition | that W. M Melton of tho dispatch and Wa?tjr Melton, are one and the same. Following is toe Spartanburg Dispatch: Spartanburg, Jan. 9 ?W. M. Melton, the attorney, who was mysteriously killed at Los Angeles, Cal , last night, was, it is believed by many heie, a Soartauburg man, who has seveial brothers and sisters here. If this is true he was a son of the late Rev. Newton K Me.ton, long a prominent mi mber of the South Carolina Confetence of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mr. Melton's relatives here have received no word from Los Angeles concerning the tragedy, and hoped taut by a strange coincidence the man slain may be somebody ehe of identically the same uame, profession and place of residence, out a special to the Herald from Los Angeles last night, tends to confirm the supposition that Melton was the Spartanburg man.

Shaw, Well Dressed Stranger Remained Here for Some Time, Then Disappeared. II. L Shaw, is tho name of a well dressed stranger who made his up pearanco here on tho streets about two weeks ago, stating thct on account of his eyes which were giving him trouble, he could not secure a job but had decided to come here uud remain for sevi ral months and gt t well. Ills eyes had the appearance of beiug weak, but otherwise he had a good face, and was well dressed for a man who had no visiolo means of making a living. One of the places where he hung out for some of tho time was the store of Scherr & Schorr. In the back end of the store was a quantity of fur purchased by tho Mrm in tho mercantile business. Among tie lot wore two mink hides. One day Louis Schorr was packing up the hidos to ship a portion ol them, and he had been told by his partner to sort out the minks and ship them later to another house. After tin shipment of other bides had gone ill, Isaac Seherc missed tho two mink hides and decided ihat Louis hud naeked them im Uw il.r/ r ?? j-? KJ J IIIIOHUH w t'a ihe others and shipped them c-IT. Lie wrote the house ;i nl as nod them to ship the mink hides hack ny parcel post. To I soac's surprise, on last Friday morning, a Mr. Anderson, who sells fur to the firm, called and otlered to sell him the identical two mink hides he had missed. As to one of them there wore peculiarities about it by which he was abla to identify his property. Anderson, as it turned nut, had bought lie two hides from .Joe Rabil. When asked about it, Rabil said he purchased them from 11. L Shaw. This hippened cu Friday evening, and Rabil had bought tiem the ni^ht bofore. Shaw had been uoirdiugat the Waccamaw Hotei .dmost next door to t 10 store ol Schorr & Schorr. Enquiry at the uotfcl disclosed the fact that Shaw had left on tho early morning train and had failed to settle his boaro bill amounting to $20 00. It is said that Shaw is married and has a wife at Whitoville, N. C Steps will no doubt be taken to get him back to answer for his crime. J. H Driver, a shoemaker, i t ites that he knows Shaw, and that Shaw has been in trouble with the courts frequently before this* Death of Mrs. Collin IIux.
