A FATAL TRAP.

David Hibler, who lives 2 12 miles
southeast of Brunswick, rented a
piece of ground just opposite his
house to j. NJ. Pardon for q water
melon patch.
Mr.. Pardon set several guns, trap
fashion, in the patch for the purpose
of killing or wounding those who
might trespass therein.
Yesterday morning a little or s.
year-old son OF Mr.. Hibler's, the
owner OF the ground ON which the
melon patch was located, thought
leesly strayed in among Pardon's
melons when the little fellow struck q
string attached to the trigger OF one
OF the guns, which was loaded with
buckshot. The weapon was dis
charged and aid it's deadly work but
too well. killing the boy instantly.
Whether any attempt viii be made
TO prosecute Pardon or not We have
not learned. 1t is said, however,
that the guns were placed in the
patch with Hibler's consent, and
that one or two OF the loaded weapi
ons belonged to him.
No little feeling toward both Par
don and Hibler has been engendered
over the affair, and it is expected
that both will be arrested.

Jackson's restaurant and bakery,
had his left hand severely burned last
Saturday night The oil in two
large brass lamps became ignited in
some way. and when Mr.. Dobson
grabbed each of them to throw them
out into the street, be spilled con-
siderable coal oil on his hand and to
which the blaze from the lamps
quickly communicated.
1t is not known whether the 'acci-
dent was occasioned by the lamps
being filed too full OF oil or
whether, by mistake. some gasoline
had been left in the kerosene meas
ure and poured into the lamps with
the coal oil.
Mr.. Dobson's left haud will be dis

Xillei By A Mad Cow.

A vicious COW. driven into Mober-
ly last Friday, and maddened by the
heat and dust, made a wild rush up
on little Jesse Johnson, the 10-year-
old daughter of the proprietor of the
Percival house, in the that place,
knocking her down and trampliDg
her almost to death before she couli
be rescued. Tho enraged animal
next charged upon group Of school
children. catching little Virgil Ted
ford, the 7-year-old son OF City At
torney v. NJ. Tedford, on her horns
and tossing him high into the air.
The little fellow struck the ground
fifteen or twenty feet away with ter
rible force, and was taken up in an
unconscious condition with a frac-
tured skull from which he never re
covered. He died q day or two later
from the effects Of injuries sustained.

McKnabb Pleads Guilty.

G. W. McKnabb, of Dalton, who
was arrested here on Tuesday OF
last week by Marshal Veatch for car
rying concealed weapons, had his
trial before Mayor Ford last Friday.
The defendant entered q plea Of
guilty and was fined $50 and costs,
but the fine was afterward remitted
to So, which. including the costs,
amounted to $12,1O.
McKnabb paid this amount and
went on his way rejoicing that be
had gotten off on such favorable
terms.
Mayor Ford says that he would not
have remitted any part of the fine,
but Mcktabb did not have sufficient
money to pay $50 fine, and his
honor thought best to have Nc
Knabb pay as much as he could in
stead OF running up bill of costs
on the city by having him work ont
the full fine on che streets.
The practice of carrying concealed
weapons is n most contemplate
on:, and deserves severe punishment
always. Ii the city can not "afford'
to meet out punishment commen-
surate with such ofiensee, then our
burg is in a strait that is indeed not
to be envied.

Alex. Craig, the 14-year-olI son of
George Craig, living short distance
north OF town, accidentally shot
himself last Saturday while careless
Iy handling q pistol. The ball took
effect just below the hip of the right
leg and ranged downward.
DIR. W. Il. Hawkins was called to
dress the wound. but the ball was not
removed as it could not be located.
Its removal, b )wever, may become
necessary and in that event the
knife will have to be used.
Young Craig will be laid up for
some time from the effects of the
wound.

In Highway style.

On Friday night of last week as
DR.. J. L. Dewey, of Dewitt, accom-
panied by a friend, was returning
from the Carrollton fair in a buggy,
they were accosted by two parties on
Che highway, some FIVE or six miles
from Dewitt.
One of the parties started to strike
the doctor over the head with awhip
while the other was armed with a
|fepce rail as he approached the
buggy.
\ DR.. Dewey recognized the voice OF
one OF the men as that of Hig Lees
ley. AMI remarked to him that she
didn't know who he was fooling
with"
LESLEY. when the doctor spoke,
recognized him also and desisted
Ifrom bic purpose whatever it may
have been.
4 On reaching Dewitt either DIR.
Dewey or his companion, or both,
swore out warrants for Lsssley's ar
rest and also for the fellow that was
with him, who proved to be LESLEY
Bros colored race rider.
On being arrested and taken before
Squire Richards, at Dewitt, both
LESLEY and the negro were fined,
each oitbeir fines amounting to some
thing over s15, which Lessley's
father, Vim. A. LESLEY, paid.
DR.. Dewey, we understand, does
| not know what was Less!ey's and the
negro's object in accosting him and
his friend on the public road, but
thinks their purpose must have been
robbery.

+ While in Dalton last Monday
morning we were taken to task by
Messrk Price & Winkler over an arti-
- hiel1 appeared in.the last issue
of the COURIER in which we stated
that Price & Winkler led one OF the
opposing factions against the grant
ing of license to w. j. Gravely to
keep dramshop in the town of Dal-
ton.
Messrs. Price & Winkler deny that
they had anything TO do with op-
posing tho granting OF license to Mr..
Gravely.
In regard to the matter we will
say that our statement in the premi-
SOS was certainly based on popular
opinion as it was currently talked
and believed that Price & Winkler
did oppose Mr.. Gravely in his efforts
to obtain a dramshop license, but as
both Mr.. Price and Mr.. Winkler
aver that they took no part or par
cei against Mr.. Gravely, we cheer.
fully give their statement OF the
sair to the public.
IN examination OF the papers in
.,.es case shows that two of Mr.,
Winkler's sons-in-law, c. l.. Herring
and VIM. McKnabb, signed the re-
monstrance against granting license
to Gravely, but as both McKnabb
and Herring are "free born and
white" each may be considered re-
sponsible for his own action.
The attorney to oppose Mr.. Grave
ly was employed by S. III. Fleming,
VINO admits that his fight on Grave
ly was entirely on personal grounds.
The attorney, however, although
employed by Mr. Fleming, was paid
by VIM. Mcknabb, Mr.. Winkler's
son-in-law.
The above, as near as we can OBJ
tain them, are the facts in the con-
troversy und we hope will do no one
an injustice.

Exhibitors Complaining.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-There is much
complaint among exhibitors over the de-
lay in awarding Worlds Fair medals
AS many exhibitors expect to make the
most OF their medals in an advertising
way, they complain that the great delay
will rob them of much OF the CONNER
cial advantage which they expected to
reap in return for the heavy expense in
volved in making the Worlds Fair ex-
hibit. The design by st. Gaudens for
official medals is here. but the contract
for manufacturing the medals has not
yet been awarded. ana it is still uncer-
tam whether the work will not be done
by the United States mint. The plan of
the treasury officials contemplated med
ais of elegant workmanship. which
would require four or five months, as it
would necessitate ths stamping of some
OF the medals 400 or 800 times, and it
does not seem probable that the work
will be completed before next summer.
