THE WAY TO CATCH THEM.

A story comes from the Canaan
region in Tucker county, to the effect
that Sol. Cosner. a citizen of that re-
gion, has invented a novel plan of
capturing squirrels. His buckwheat
field was completely destroyed by
the Dummies" and he being advsnc.
ed in years, and his eye.sight fail.
ing, he could not see the squirrels in
time TO shoot them. Mr.. Cosner
procured q bucket of tar from Col.
Bob Eastmsn's store at Davis. and
poured it along on the top rail of the
fence where the squirrels run in go.
ing out of the field of buckwheat.
Mr.. Cosner and his sons watched for
the trespassers. and when there were
a good many in the field, they jump.
ed out and yelled and swung their
hats and the squirrels made for the
fence. When they left the fence
they had so much tar on their feet
that the leaves stuck TO them, pre-.
venting the animals from climbing
trees, and Mr.. Cosner and his boys
killed a number of them with clubs.

RED MEN IN RICHIE.

The spirit Of deviltry is holding
high carnival in Richie county.
There is no crime that is too heinous
for cOmmittal and that apparently
with impunity. The better class OF
citizens out there are getting very
tired Of the manner in which law and
order are being trampled on and are
adopting summary measures TO stop
the epidemic Of crime. In Murphy
district John Elliott was charged
with a nameless crime, the victim
being his own stepdaughter. The
law failing to avenge the wrong the
citizens took the matter In hand and
Saturday night week ElliotCs house
was visited by a band Of men armed
with huge hickory witbes, bent upon
Chastising him. IL seems that their
visit was not unexpected, as he had
armed himself with a rife and pre-
paired To give them 2 warm reception.
After the frat fire, which injured no
one, they took him some distance
from his house and administered an
uamercifnl beating.
