Sheriff Beeves the last of the
week jiicked up a tramp by the
name of Archie Aiton, who re
sided at Cornelius ten or fifteen
vears ano. He was searched
and given a severe questioning,
and then allowed to depart. It
was thought ho might have had
something to do with the forging
of checks some weeks ago,
whewin two Ilillsboro firms lost
$50 between them. Aiton show
ed a clean Bheet on this score,
and after leaving a sample of his
writing was allowed to depart.
He bus travelled all over the
union since leaving Cornelius.
A few years ago he forged a
check at Cornelius, which was
settled by his people, and this
incident ied to the belief that
there might bo sornt thing in his
connection with the Ilillsboro
bad checks, written on the Cor
nelius Slate Bank. Both Mr.
Weil and Mr. Reynolds say Aiton
was not the man. Aiton went
on his wav rejoicing, after being
given enough money to get him
back to the west end of the
county w here he was picked up
by the sherilf.

W. H. Kucker alarmed the town
Monday night and at midnight
was telling the night watch that
some one was trying to rob the
First National Bank. Investiga
tion showed that Ed. Bowen, a
clerk in Greer s store, was emp
tving a coal oil tank. Bowen
came in late to go to bed, and
happened to notice that the tank
was leaking. He hammered the
burr loose and .inserted the
pump. The purring of the sue
tion valve caused Mr. Kucker to
imagine that it sounded like
drill boring through the vault
doors. After the affair was
cleared up Mr. Bucker told those
whom he had alarmed that were
he a drinking man, instead of a
staid member of the church, he
would treat them to something
stronger than water.
