Yicted OF the murder CT Frank Hook on

Al his trial Rodgers made seif-deience
his plea, but did not go upon the witness
stand and testify in his own behalf When

to speak, if he had anything to say why
the judgment OF the court should not he
pronounced upon him, the prisoner stated
that he had but little to say. He pro
tested his innocence of any intention of
injuring Hook. further than was -aeces-
sary to protect his own life Rodgers
said lie had a difficulty earlier in the day
with Hook and that the latter followed
him and wanted him TO fight. This the
prisoner stated b. refused to do because
Hook Was larger and stronger man than
he. and he knew he would get the worst
OF an encounter Continuing. he said he
tried TO avoid Hook, but that the latter
approached him with his hand in his right
nip pocket, as If in the act of drawing a

WOOD-EATING MULES

Charlotte Daily Observer.
Mr.. s. A. Harris, a grocer OF Char
l0tte lost a mule and the better part
OF a delivery wagon yesterday. The
wagon body was made of poplar. The
mule was made OF just simply ordi-
nary, everyday mule. Tuesday night
the mule got out Of the stable and set
about a task OF eating up the delivery
wagon. He ate the framework down
to the floor and might have finished
the floor il he hadn't stopped long
enough to die.
Mr.. Cam King, one OF the original
two Orphans vas at the courthouse
yesterday when he overheard Squire
Maxwell telling an Observer reporter
about the death Of Sam Harris mule:
II believe every word of it," spoke up
KiLg, land l will tell you why.
Mules will eat wood when they are
wanting forage and can't get it (mean-
ing no reflection on Sam AT Staun-
ton, Va, during the war | was in
charge of the commissary wagons,
we had plenty of corn for u mules,
but for days they had had no forage
whatever. Well. n night my mules
ate out FIVE spokes from a wagon
wheel to which they had been tied.
That morning l got a load of chestnut
rails to feed my mules on and they
ate every one Of them. Not a mule
died. What caused the death OF Mr..
Harris mule | can't say, but ! know
that my army mules were great wood
