The medal, which was beautiful
solid gold plate, was awarded to Miss

carried to Albany"
Snow resides in the vicinity of Dob
son, Surry county, and had been to
Greensboro to answer the charge of
illicit distilling. lie had been tried
and acquitted for lack OF evidence.
The case was disposed of yesterday
and from the time he was made free
| man it required all the influence and
force of his friends to keep him from
rushing to the woods to hide. lie
conceived the idea that he would be
re-arrested and carried to the National
prison house.
After he was persuaded to the
train. at each station he would make
an effort to escape. When the train
arrived at the Winston depot at 1910
| O'Clock he renewed his efforts and made
a strong plea to be allc wed to flee from
| his imaginary pursuers.
| After he had gotten somewhat
quiet he begged for some one to sit by
| him in the car.
Shows friends said that he would
be all right after he got into his own
neighborhood and took good long
run through the woods and swallowed
a good drink OF branch water.
