A PAINFUL REALITY.

1t has been observed that "the man
who wants to lick the editor" is by
no means myth, as many people sup
pose, but a painful reality" Painful
is used in reference to the condition
OF his troubled brain. In a well-regu-
lated newspaper office he is seen al
most daily Usually he is an unshaved
unkept looking man with blood in his
eye, and carries unconcealed an odor
of bad whiskey, with muscles strong
as iron bands" He pounces upon the
inoffensive, understood editor with a
determination to eliminate him for
evermore. But the scene changes.
The editor calls upon his vocal powers,
and ''in a few well-chosen words"
shrinks his adversary to the size of a
pigmy, while in this wordy war he
assumes the size of a giant, and the
"scrapper" sneaks down the stairs,
feeling very much like a bird that has
won second best in a cock-fight.

MUSKRAT A MILK THIEF.

Farmer Youngs, Of Harmony, has
noticed that his cows have come UP at
night with the appearance Of having
been milked. He got tired Of 1t, and
sent his hired man to the pasture to
catch the thief. He spent the day near
enough to the COWS to watch them, he
thought but at night it was still evil
dent that the cows had been milked
again. He was reprimanded and sent
back with them the next day. At
about II o'clock, he says, a COW went
into some brush near a small lake. He
crept through the grass and caught
the thief in the act, and he proved to
be large muskrat. The muskrat was
hanging on to the cows udder, and
seemed to be enjoying his dinner i'm
mensely. When the rat disappeared
into the swamp the COW was angry,
and was driven back into the pasture
with great difficulty.

One Jailed and the Other Bailed.

The habeas corpus trial before Chan
cellor Conn, of the Case boys, charged
with the murder of Addison at Wesson
Christmas morning, was concluded at
Hazlehurst last Saturday. The tes-
timony submitted to the Chancellor
was that takan down by the steno-
graper at the preliminary trial. Mere
dith Case was refused bail and re.
manded to Jail, and Tom Case was re
leased on $1,000 bond, which he gave
Monday and returned home by way OF
Brookhaven. In his decision, Judge
Conn held that the proof of murder
was too strong against Meredith Case
to entitle him to bail, and that while
Tom Case was technically guilty Of
murder, as an accessory, yet his was 6
bailable case. He also held that Ad
Olson was acting as an officer of the
law.

There has been mach Wild and I'M
founded street gossip during the past
week incident to the attaching OF
three trunks BY Sheriff McNair in the
possession Of M. Dreyfus, Of this
place, alleged to contain a large
amount Of valuable jewelry. Some
weeks ago the firm of Koch, Dreyfus 4
Co., extensive jewelers. of New York,
failed for between one and two hun
dred thousand dollars. The Dreyfus
Of the firm is an elder brother of Mr..
M. Dreyfus, OF Brookhaven, and of
Mrs. e. Weiss, sister now absent in
Europe. According to Mr.. M. Dreyfus,
who was interviewed on the subject
by The LEADER, Koch, Dreyfus 4 Co.,
are indebted to this sister for over ST.
600, and had executed a mortgage in
her favor on the three trunks of jewel.
~ in question, which Mrs. Weiss had
turned over to her Brookhaven broth
er with full power to act for her. AZ
ter the failure, the trunks were turn
ed over to Mr.. M. Dreyfus, in New Or
leans, on an order from Koch, Dreyfus
4 Co., by their travelling salesman,
Geo. Mallet, and brought by him to
Brookhaven. Very naturally, Mr..
Dreyfus says, during these days of
robbery and burglary, he did not
sound trumpet nor wish to make
much noise about the contents and
whereabouts of trunks reputed to con
tain several thousand dollars worth of
iewelry;but the New York creditors Of
Koch, Dreyfus & Co., nevertheless
traced them to Brookhaven and this
led to the attachment which caused
so much gossip.
By mutual agreement Sheriff Nc
Nair will continue in possession and
answer for the safe-keeping of the
trunks until the matter is adjudicated
in the courts. The first step will be a
suit or writ of replevin by Dreyfus
for the recovery of the goods, which
will be tried early in February. Hon.
r. N. Miller, of Hazlehurst, is repre-
senting the New York creditors, and
Hon. A. c. McNair, of Brookhaven, the
claim of Mrs. Weiss.

MCINTYRE Convicted.

Mr.. H. H. Cain, who lives with his faith.
er-in-law, Circuit Clerk Oliver, near
town, last September, captured in
Marion county, a young man named
Forrest Mcintyre, fugitive from JUS
tice in Texas, where he was wanted on
the charge of numbering a man named
Smith. A reward of 500 was offered
for his capture and conviction, and
this led Mr.. Cain to become interested
in the case. Mcintyre was living in
Marion county under the assumed
name of VIM. Lewis, and awhile be-
fore his arrest had joined the Baptist
church and was contemplating matri-
mony with young lady of that coun-
ty, into whose good graces he had in
gratiated himself. He was completely
taken by surprise by Mr.. Cain when
told to consider himself his prisoner,
and made no attempt to resist or es-
cape. He was brought to Brookhaven
en- route to Texas, and was kept at
Mr.. divers house three days before
the journey was resumed, without
being closely confined or hand -cuffed.
In due course he was delivered to the
authorities of Falls county, Texas,
and last Sunday Mr.. Cain received the
news that Mcintyre had been convict
ed and sentenced to the Texas peni-
Tertiary for eight years. He will
doubtless now receive the 5000 reward
for which he has had to wait so long
A brother of Mcintyre had been pre-
viously convicted and sentenced to the
Penitentiary for being an accessory to
the same crime.

longer than any mill | ever had. Any person
can get diagrams and complete directions free

mill going would be glad to sell you a pump II
