part of the Windsor farm land lies

Raleigh, N. c.. August g.
When W. Il. Worth, Populist
took Office as State Treasurer, il
January, 1897, he appointed W
II. Martin one Of the clerks il
his office. Martin came here il
1865 as a mejor with the army o.
General Sherman. He was q peg
sistent ofice-holder and at the
time of his appointment by Mr..
Worth was the chief clerk in the
Office of the Collector of Interna.
Revenue for the Fourth District
Of this State.
Duncan, the collector, wanted
I'd get rid of Martin, so that he
could make another appointment
TO the chief clerks place, and he
fell upon the plan of dumping
Martin onto Treasurer Worth.
This he succeeded in doing, much
to the sorrow Of "Father Worth"
as he is called. Martin gave
bond in the penal sum of IS, 900
10 Mr.. Worth in the Baltimore
Fidelity Guaranty and Surety
Company, conditioned for the
faithful performance Of his cleri-
cal duties, and this bond was re-
naWed at the beginning of each
fiscal year. which was December
LIST.
Before the beginning Of each
fiscal year a committee composed
OF members of the existing Leg
isEature and, appointed for the
purpose, made a thorough exami-
nation Of the books, papers,
vouchers and accounts in the
Office of the State Auditor and all
the warrants in the Office of State
Treasurer on which money has
been paid. This committee, at ex
aminations which took place in
1897, 1898. 1899 and 1900, failed
to detect the embezzlement of
Martin in either one of these
years. The Fidelity and Guar
anty and Surety Company re-
CURED of Treasurer Worth each
year before renewing the bond of
Martin a certificate that Martin
had been honest and faithful dur
ing the preceding year and that
his books had been balanced and
that he was square with the
State.
Treasurer Worth went out of
Office in January last, and soon
thereafter the embezzlement of
Martin was discovered, and he
was indicted and plead guilty and
was sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary, where he is now.
A thorough Investigation was
made and it was found that Mars
tin had embezzled $18, 900, and
the present State Treasurer.
Der amin r. Lacy, demanded of
Mr.. Worth this amount. Imme.
diately Nj. Worth demanded this
amount Of the Baltimore Fidelity
Guaranty and Surety Company.
which demand said company has
declined to notice and has refused
to have any correspondence
whatever with MI. Worth on this
subject. The attorneys for the
company take the position thatl
the certificate of Mr.. Worth made
each year before the renewal of
the bond. as hereinbefore stated,
absolves the company from lia-
bility on all the bonds, save the
one first executed in January.

TIGER aUELLED By KICK.
Quaggn Defends Itself Against Fero-
ciOus Bengal.
From the Chicago Times-Herald

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Indianapolis, March l.-RaJah, the fero-
cious Bengal tiger of the Bostock Zoo.
which a week or two ago killed young
Nelson, one of it's keepers, after bullets
and red-hot irons had been used upon it
without effect, broke out Of its cage TO-
day, put TO flight the attendants In the
place and was in fair way to repeat
it's death-dealing performance, when 1t
was unexpectedly checked In an encounter
with a quagga.
The quagga is a distant relative of the
ass and IN this exploit demonstrated that
blood will tell. With a kick IL stretched
Rajah on the floor. and before the effects
of the blow passed away the tiger had
been returned to its cage.
Rajah escaped by making iunge
against the bars between his cage ana
that of the quagga, from which the lat
ter had been led a short time previously
by Keeper William Boyker, who left the
door open.
Boyker saved his life by darling back
into the empty cage and closing the door.
The other keepers sought places of safety
and Rajah turned his attention to the
quagga. The latter was conscious of its
danger and running down the narrow
Passageway back of the cages, jumped
into the arena Just as Rajah made lunge
at it, the beasts great paw reaching enc
striped hip of the quagga and tearing the
flesh az 1t escaped from the attack.
Capt. Bonaviter was in the ampitheater,
and seeing the animals coming, called to
his assistants and fed. Around the arena
ran the quagga and a second time around,
with the tiger but a few feet behind, and
gaining at every bound. When but a
yard away Rajah crouched for a spring
al his prey, but just at that instant Capt.
Bonavita fired a shot at him and the bull
let struck an inch below the heart, The
siger reeled and fell.
The quagga, terrified by the pursuit and
by the noise of the pistol shot and the
shouting of the employees, made a third
circuit of the arena and just as il passed
the tiger the latter arose and started
again in pursuit
Half way around the ring the quagga
suddenly stopped. Rajah had crouched,
but before he could spring, the heels OF
the little animal shot out like lightning
and dealt him a stunning blow on the
head. The tiger reeled and sank to the
floor.
When it staggered 20 its feet Capt Bon
avita started toward it and Rajah sneak
ed into the cage. The animal did not
appear any the worse for the shot near
his heart and the bruise from the
| quaggas heels that had so effectually
stunned him.
