SHU FORD & LeMASTER,
A TIGER IN LIMBO.
White Man Convicted of Ketatllng Sun
day Gambler# Arrested.
The mayor’s court presented quite
a lively appearance yesterday morn
ing when the hour came for His Honor
to don his official robes and take to
task the offenders against the city
ordinances. The crowd of spectators
was larger than usual and the cases
on docket sometl.ing more than the
ordinary “drunk and disorderly.”
A young white man in the city had
been detected disposing of “forty
rod” without a license and in viola
tion of all laws made and provided
against such. Officers Lockhart and
Gilmer, who are ever on the alert for
offenders against the city ordinances,
located the lair of the tiger and cap
tured that festive animal. Upon in
vestigation by the city court the un
lawful dispenser was found -guilty of
the charge against him, and a fine
of $100 was placed upon him, w”h
the alternative of thirty days on ue
chain gang.
Next on docket was a case against
five young white sports who had vio
lated both the laws of God and man
by gambling on Sunday. The officers
of the city have for sometime sus
pected that this Sunday gaming was
going on in secluded spots around
the city; and Sunday Officers Lock
hart and Gilmer swooped down on
a gang over in the “Stumptown”
district and arrested five of the play
ers. They were each fined five dol
lars for their fun. which they 'paid.
The officers are constantly on the
lookout for these “skinners,” and
others of that ilk who indulge in
gaming as a Sunday pastime would
better take warning and stop their
nefarious conduct before they are
caught.
Still» Mystery.
The appearance of Mr. Wesley Mc-
Kown at the place where he was killed
by a South Carolina and Georgia Ex
tension railroad Gain seems to be a
mystery still, and nothing can be
learned as to the cause of bis leaving
Yorkvilie. The following from the
Enquirer may be of interest to Mr.
McKown’s friends:
“Careful inquiry falls to develop a
great deal of information about the
whereabouts of Mr. Wesley McKown
from the time be left the residence
of Captain Crawford, until be ap
peared at the cabin of Will Currence.
Mr. W. states that at about dark an
old gentlemen, answering the descrip
tion of Mr. McKown, stepped into
the store of Mr. John M. Hope as if
he were coming to the stove; but
seeming to change bis mind, sud
denly went out again. One of the
negroes is reported to have said that
Mr. McKown had said something
about having corae as far as the rail
road in a buggy; but nothing more
definite has been learned. It now
develops that Mr. McKown left Cap
tain Crawford’s while supper was
being prepared. He bad not eaten
his supper. The amount of money
found in his pockets after his death
was $5 40.” ..-
Opening Street#.
The celling of the "Dick” Thomp
son property is developing some val
uable real estate in Gaffney. Already
a number of lots have been sold.
Among the early purchasers were
Mr. Wm. R. Lipscomb and Mr. J. A.
Carroll. Both these gentlemen have
purchased desirable lots. Mr. Lip
scomb will build at once, that is in
the spring, but Mr. Carroll will prob
ably defer building some time, but it
is understood that be intends to erect
on his new possession oue of the
handsomest residences in Gaffney.
As a result of putting this property
on the market Petty, Johnson and
Pine Streets, and Rutledge and Fair-
view avenues have been opened and i
extended. The streets have beertV
deeded to the city ihd forces are now 1 ^
at work making the extensions and
opening them up.

Want# to Build The Bridge. •
J. H. Whitner, of the Virginia
Bridge and Iron Company, of Roan
oke, Va., was in the city several days
last week in the interest of his com
pany. Mr. Whitner wants the job of
constructing the new bridge across
Broad river and came here for that
purpose. His company is an old and
reliable one and has built a number
of bridges in North Carolina. Mr.
Whitner is a South Carolinian. He
is a gentleman of pleasing address
and we have no hesitancy in saying
we believe be will make it interesting
for bis competitors when the time of
letting the contract arrives.

Groom Seventy-four; Bride Seventy-two,
Ad event has just transpired with
in Cherokee’s borders which proves
conclusively that Cupid is no respecter
of persons and that even the heart
of seventy is not callous to his magic
wiles. We refer to a marriage in
which Mr. Alfred Pritchard, aged
seventy-four, took unto himself a
bride of aeventy*two summers in the
form of Miss Lucinda Jones, only
daughter of Mr. GnatThaniel Jones,
of lower Cherokee. Mr. X. Blaoton
officiated ut the wedding of thia aged
couple whose hearts beat again with
the ardor and warmth of earlier days;
and many friends hope that they
may live to enjoy many years of con
nubial happiness.

happiness and prosperity.
