Mrs. Lacy Thomson, living near Gardi,
Station 81 on the East Tennessee, Vir-
glhia and Georgia railroad, met with Sc
riOus accident on Christmas eve night
last. She was near the fireplace, and Ia
king fit of some kind, fell into the fire
head foremost. Her little boy, who was
the only one present, screamed for help,
and at the same time tugged away to pull
his mother out of the fire. But he was
IL taa n soll
ceeded, when help came, but too late, for
she was so badly burned that she died on
Saturday following. Mrs. Thomson was
10 years old, and leaves a husband and
two children.
Friday night, while tthe, people of Ros-
we'll junction were indulging in sleep,
burglars were putting in heavy work.
First stealing Mr.. PerceIPs wagon and
mules, which were driven to the store OF
j. A. Holbrook & Son, they attempted to
pick through the back of the chimney.
This being too slow process, they enUered
j. Il. Elliott g. Sons buggy shops, taking
the necessary tools to bore through the
blind of the window of the store, so as to
unkey the window bar. Then entering the
store, large quantity of all class of goods
were removed. The cash drawer was
taken out and relieved of It's contents,
4bnsisting of some notes and accounts and
about 500 in change. The empty drawer
was found in the woods.
In the lower part of SpaIding county a
negro man on Tul Patrick's place, had a
Jersey bull. He broke out of his pen and
attacked mule on the place, and goFed
him to death. He then started across the
country in mad run, signalling his COM
ing by his constant believing, and caus-
ing people to fee in every direction.
Three or four miles from the place where
he broke out he attacked two young Ia
dies, a Miss Manley and a friend, and
they made very narrow escape by run
ming into houseynear by and securing
the door. The bull seemed to become
more furious by the escape Of his prey,
and for some time stood before the door,
and by paving the earth and believing
seemed to challenge them to open the door
and give him fight. Finally he started
across the county aud went to Rev. Thos.
Heads, who lives 8 miles from town and
about miles from Tul Patrick's. Here
he broke into the lot and killed fine mule
OF Mr.. Heads, gored another so it will
die, and seriously wounded Mr.. Head s
fine buggy horse. Mr.. Head gave an
alarm, and soop.succeeded in getting his
neighbors together, and they killed the
maddened bull by shooting him, not, how
ever, until he had done damage to the
extent OF $500 or 5000.
