ORDERED MORMONS TO LEAVE.
Two Elders Have Rough Time at
Pineville. N. c.

Chattanooga, Tenn. April 3o.-(SpecialD
The Mormon elders have just had
tough time i'm the little town of Pine
Vile. n. c. II appears that the two ell
ders, one of them named Robson, who
have been in the field about year. went
to Pineville to get their mail. While In
the town they thought they would do a
little missionary work. They tried to en-
ter several houses to counsel with the
inmates and leave literature. They were
stopped. however. they say, by a Pres
byterian minister, who followed them.
They finally went to the mayor for pro-
lection and that functionary ran from
them. In the meantime the citizens met
and sent n committee of twelve lead
ing merchants to the elders to inform
them that they would be allowed just
one hour to shake the dust of Pineville
from their feet. The elders were dis
posed to argue the point, when they We're
forcibly led to the city limits and told
to leave and not return on pain of
punishment severe that il would lie
cruel to state what II would be. The ell
ders have given Pineville a wide berth
since.

is anxious if possible. to know VINO pus
the bell about the buZzards neck anu
how long ago Il was done. From the ap-

Landing they heard a tnkling sound above
them. and looking up they were surprised and
very much interested 20 see a buzzard with
bell suspended from his neck. Mr. X g Me
AIlister shot II and broke one of its wings.
and after a chase of two or three hundred
yards through a canebreak, caught II and took
the bell from its neck.
The bell is a sheep bell made OF sheet iron
and the parts riveted together. The clapper
Is made of a small tap on "A bolt, and "A small
piece had been broken out of one corner of the
bowl of IN. bell. The bowl seems to have
been bronZed, but most of II is worn OIL. The
small leather strap, which was passed around
the neck twice. and bucked and tied with Il

confer n favor upon Mr.. McAlster by writing
to him, addressing II. c. McAllster, Fort
