Tue School BURNING. This subject
which was reported at length last week,
terminated with the departure of Israel
Collins, accused Of the burning, from
the city Jail on Sunday night. Nothing
more was seen OF the negro until the
succeeding Thursday night, although
his presence was learned OF. At that
time, about o p. m, just as the delayed
passenger train for the south reached
here, he passed down the street 10 the
depot, accompanied by Fred Martin,
Jess Vann and one or Two other
negroes. Evidently elnted with his
surroundings and following Israel ven-
tured the assertion that he was "chief,"
and seemed TO imagine himself the
"biggest duck in the puddle" His
term OF Office however proved to be
very short lived, as a posse was quickly
made up and the beligerents had no
sooner entered the coach than the
special officers pounced down on them
like lot Of ducks on a swarm of June
bugs. A lively "scrap" ensued, ending
with the capture Of the parties named,
and their consignment 10 the Gala

darkness. No blood WAS spilled but
the way in which shot guns and pistols

SWAMP HUNTING.
A Georgia Nimrod's Novel Plan and IT.
Complete Failure.

A Georgia Nimrod's Novel Plan and Its
Complete Failure.
There is in Sumter County. Ga. a
certain pond or swamp of one hundred
acres. The water is very shallow. and
grass grows luxuriantly in it. Here
horses and cattle love to feed, and ducks
congregate in great numbers. They do
not fear the horses and cattle, but are
very shy when man is around. Jim
Murray thought that by hitching his
horse to Il flat-bottomed boat he could
drive all over the swamp and kill no
end of ducks. The plan worked well
at first. The horse drew the boat east
". but when at the right time he said
whoa" and jumped up to fire at the
ducks, there was hitch IN the pro-
gramme. The horse stopped, but the
boat didn't 1t quietly floated on and
banged against the horses hind legs.
The horse jumped. and at that Jim took
\ header backward into the water. his
gun going about twenty feet beyond
him. Just where the gun went is not
certain. 1t has not been seen since.
The horse and the boat kept right on.
When the horse wanted to stop the boat
hit his legs and urged him forward.
When the boat wanted to stop the horse
didn' t know it. Finally boat and horse
rot thoroughly tangled up. and the lat
Ter went down. Then Jim's brother
Tom, who had been watching the show
from the solid land, waded in and cut
the horse loose. and at the same time
Jim waded out. The boat was not hurt
in the least.-N. 7, Sun.

Protection Against Dogs

The Mayor of Cannes has adopted
rery simple plan for ascertaining what
dogs have owners and have had license
taken out for them. In the first place,
any dog found in the streets without
collar bearing the name and address
of the owner is at once captured
and, if not claimed within forty-eight
hours, killed. Moreover, every person
taking out license is provided with q
small medal plate, which has to be at
tached to the collar, and if dog is
found without this plate on his collar
the address of his owner is taken and in.
auiry made as to whether license was
taken out for the dog, in which case a
fresh plate is provided. The scale Of
license varies, too, according as to
whether the dog is kept in the town or
in the suburbs as Watchdog. The
consequence of all this is that Cannes
is almost free from the nuisance Of
stray dogs and there has not, it is be-
lieved, been . case of rabies for several
years. st. James Gazette.
