His Daddy Hung the Jury.

At a term of the Superior COart
f Moore county. Hon. VIM. NJ. Shipp was
the presiding judge. 4 man by the name
of Grimm had heretofore been Indicted,
convicted and fined for an assault and
battery. 1t appeared in this fight that
Notwithstanding the fact that Grimm was
getting much the better of the
and did not need any assistance. that his
son picked up a fence rail and knocked
the assailant of his father down and
came near killing him. At the term of
court over which Judge ShiDp was pre-
siding, the son was indicted for his pat
in the ARRAY. Both sides announced
their readiness and the State accepted
the jury as it stood IL the box Without
challenge and so did the defendant. Col.
Thomas NJ. Argo, one of the leading law
yers of the State, appearing for Grimm.
The State was quickly through with its
evidence and the defendant did not offer
any evidence, and the case was sub
mitted to the jury without argument
unGer the charge of Judge Shipp, who
told the jury if they believed the state
ment of the witnesses, the defendant was
guilty, because under the circumstances
it was not necessary that he should
fight in defence of his daddy.
The jury retired and did not return
in q few minutes, as was expected. At
ter being out an hour the judge sent for
them and inquired why they had not
brought in d verdict. The foreman said
they coulG net agree. They We're asked
if they understood the law as the court
had charged them. The foreman said yes.
Judge Shipp then told them to go out
and make Up their verdict and hurry
back, as they had need of them in other
cases. The jury filed out again and re-
manned until the judge sent for them a
second time. He asked them why they
had not returned a verdict The fore
man said they could not agree. The
judge asked why they could not agree
and the foreman said he did not know
other than they could not agree. The
judge then told the foreman to take the
jury and 90 to their room and poll the
jury and find out why they could not
agree. The went out and came back III
a few minutes. The Judge asked tbs
foreman if he had fcund out why they
could not agree and the for elman said:

was caught ard killed after an exciting
race OF three hours.
Here is another story, showing the
cunning Of the fox in escaping from the
dogs: The scene Of the hunt was in
Panther Branch township. Wake county.
Mr.. Arnold Parrish is an old fox hunter
and owns quite a fancy pack of hounds.
His house is a rerdeVouZ for several
fox hunters arc during this spring MIR.
Parrish had quite q number Of exciting
chases without catching the fox. Fe
was usually aroused near the same place
and made abcIt the same run and was
lost in the pasture field Of Col. John y.
Bunting. Why it was that the trail
would be hot until the fox reached this
field, which contained about one hum
dred acres and was graZed by the horses,
cows, hogs and sheep Of Col. Bunting,
and was then lost, the hunters could not
tell. The next to the last race run in
this neighborhood was :WC weeks ago,
and before starting the fox one OF the
hunters was sent to this field to watch
and see What became Of the fox. After
the race had been run over about the
same country and for about the same
length Of time, the dogs We're heard
coming in the direction of the field Of
Col. Bunting. The hunter had hidden
himself as we'll as possible in a place
where he could see over nearly oil the
field. When the fox entered the field he
ran around among tn horses, cattle and
hogs and seemed to try to excite thcm,
and finally jumped on the back OF one
of the largest hogs and hung on. The
hog did not understand this proceeding,
nor relish the rider, and tore Oft at a
great pace through the field, running
hither and thither, through the bushes
and briars, doing every thing possible
to dislocate the fox. These eXertiOnS
continued until the hog finally ran into a
lock of the WOrm-fence that surrounded
the field. and here the fox got off and
took to the fence and Travelled around
on top of the fence until he reached
about the place where he came in, and
here he got dow on the ground ana ran
back over his former track. Next week
the race was u over and the fox was
caught, because the hogs had been
penred the night before.

the jury brought in a verdict which the
Judge did not approve and he told the
or they were a set of fools and did not
have sense enough to sit on a jury.
One CT the jurors was a Mr.. Westray,
who had graduated from the State Uni
versity, and was a large land owner, and
was known as the most successful farm
er in the county. This gentleman was
very indignant at the outrageous insult
offered the jury. and determined that
for one he would not submit to it, pro-
viGed, he could resent it Without going
to jail. So at the recess fer dinner Mr..
Westray approached the judge and ask
ed him as q matter of law appeItaining
to the prerogatives of a judge. if he, he
judge, had any authority of law TO say
what he did to the Jury. Judge Shipp
answered that he certainly did have that
right by law, otherwise, he would not
nave exercised it. Mr.. Westray then
put this question: "Judge Shipp. if (
should here and now proceed to give you
a genteel thrashing for what you sale
to the jury, would you take it like a
man for your part as an Individual. or
would you fall back on yOu judicial pre-
negatives and put me back in jail?" The
Judge said, IN that event the preroga-
tiVeS would come into play and be
mighty hard. and that he should board
MT. Westray at the expense of the
county for two years. Mr.. Westray then
SAID: Very well, judge, if that be the
case, we Will have to forego the thrash
ing, and walked off.

But when you bought the land of .'bolos''

Yielding to sordid, grasping greed.

And stalking all that they have made
In some wild. speculative trade
Bite off much more thar they can

You bought louisiana, great domain
For your numerous family train
Just as a provident sire should do.
And in this trade you lost no bullion
And got the best of the great Napoleon
You then knew how to lake a chew >
You then acquired the Lone STAR State
In domain, wealth and people great
