a Strange Story


We learn from the Knoxville Chronicle that
Mr.. George Susong, Of Jefferson county, some
time ago drove large number of hogs to
North Carolina. About TWO weeks ago, while
on his return home, he stopped Tor the night
at house in the mountains, where entertain
ment was offered. On being shown to his
room his suspicious were aroused by the land
lord locking the door on the outside. He be-
gan to look about for means to escape, if neces-
sary.s On looking under the bed a sight was
presented that almost CONCEALED his blood the
body of man with his throat cut from ear to
ear. Time was precious, for life was at stake,
and his plan was soon formed He placed the
dead body in bed, covered it up nicely, extin
gushed the light, and got behind the door to
await the results. About midnight be heard
stealthy steps approaching, the door was softly
opened and five forms passed into the room =
He did not wait to see the result, but slipped
out of the open door and ''heeled it, for life
Next morning he found friends to whom he re-
lated his adventure. They returned 10 force
and succeeded In capturing four of the Williams.
The fifth is still at large, but it is to be hoped
that he, too, will fall into the hands of justice.
