forthe last week crowds of farmers have been
daily and nightly chasing her without sue

by John Roberts, blacksmith. The
wild creature had appeared several
times at fire which it was the
habit OF Carey Moore, colored, of the
neighborhood, to light after tlltrlc in the yard
OF his house for the preparation of his meals
Roberts was put there to watch for her and
she appeared even before the flames were
well kindled. She presented such n wild look
in the half light and asked for TODD in such a
wild fashion that Roberts was demorahzetl

the dark shadows of the woods. Major Steven
Cowell caught sight of the creature on the
following morning and chased her across an
open field. He was badly hurt in his efforts
TO keep.up with her, and reported that she
outran a buck and cleared four corn rows Mt
leap That night she was again en-.

the kindling of fire, and was chased
by thirty men without success. Capt. Marsh

little ones may also beeomefood for the, cam

negroes and simple country folk is intense.
BY the more intelligent farmers the theory is

then rushed into the bank aud got another
