THE HUNTING CASE.
No Indictments Yct-A Shnky Case
Military.


RALEIGH, n. c., December 7.-(Spe-
cial )--Inquiry was made at noon to-day
jas 10 whether any indictments had been
returned against citizens of Wilmington
in connection with the departure OF
United States Commissioner Bunting. 1t
was stated, in reply, mo" il Is learned
that the government is rather afrai I
about its case, as the fact is developed
that when matters became rather
"shaky" at Wilmington Bunting went
to the new authorities and asked f0r
protection and that It was furnished him
as an escort to the railway station. There
is a remarkable degree OF reticence
about this case here, and, really, there
is not the slightest reason for such Sc
crecy. 1t was rumored yesterday that
Bunting had come here from Washington,
where he has been since his flight from
Wilmington, but at noon to-day positive
denial was made that he was in Raleigh.
Assistant Attorney-General Boyd. who.
it is said, Is given charge of the Bunting
and the Tolbert cases, ought to be able
TO sympathZe with the people who are
on the point of being prosecuted, as he
was, It Is said, arrested thirty years ago
and taken before the Federal Court on
the charge Of being Ku Klux, and hence,
a worker for white supremacy and good
government.
1t appears now to be the belief that
Locke Craig, William r. Allen, or III. G..
Common will be Speaker Of the lower
house, unless q Ozark horse comes in.
Captain Todd. United States army.
muster-out officer of the Second Regi-
ment, is yet here, and so is r. b. Davis,
quartermaster of the regiment.
