"A Mystery.

On Friday while q car of cotton seed
was being unloaded at the G%reenville
& Laurens depot here a mysterious
find was made. 1t was the left ear of
q human being. From the long black
hair growing upon its lobe it belongs
to q white person, whether man or wo-
man is a subject of conjecture. The
size indicates that it is the ear of q
woman, but it is argued that no woman
allows the hair about her ears to grow
SO long. Certainly no negro has long
black hair growing upon his ears.
This member was apparently clipped
from somebody's head by q man who
knew his business. 1t was cut clearly
and clearly. 1t evidently grew on
somebody's head. From its appear
ance it grew on the head Of a white
mar or m The question is, how
did it come to be severed from the head
to which it originally belonged. People
in this country do not cut Off the ears
of other people, without remarkable
proyocation. Therefore it is fair to
suppose that there is q tragic history
connected with this ear, whether it be.

The car in which it was found was

1t came from somebody's head beyond

alive or dead, white or black, male OF
female is a matter OF speculation. The
solution OF the mystery is between here
and Ora. Doctors who have seen the
member believe it came from the head
of q white man and was cut away by {

The Atlanta constitution., 1894-05-14

Among the families that crossed the AL
leghanies for settlement in western Penn
sylvania a few years before the outbreak
of the famous Pontiac war was one OF the
name of Brady.
The head of the little household was
stalwart Irishman, man absolutely with
out fear-and it was but natural that his
only child, a son, should possess the same
bravery.
Ted Brady, from the first, was a fearless
young rover of the woods, and gun in hand
he was often to be seen in the forest either
in search of game or setting traps for the
smaller animals that abounded in the local
ity.
During one of these excursions into the
woods the boy had the fortune to capture q
very small bear cub which he carried home
without trouble. He raised the cuD 10y
hand, and had good deal of fun with him
as he grew older. At last he became the
pet of the household, and often he would
follow Ted into the forest.
At the approach Of night, no matter where
Jack was, he would turn his face toward
the cabin, and in one corner of it was sure
to find sleeping place till morning.
With the uprising Of the Indians, led by
Pontiac, the Ottawa chief one of the braV
est and most relentless Indians of his day,
the whole frontier passed from the sunshine
Of peace into the shadow of war.
Postiafter post fell before the strategy of
this red king of the forest, and at last not
