BLACK BEAR
TRAILED BY
TEDDY
HUNTERS HIT TRACK OF BIG
GAME AS SOON AS THEY
LEAVE THEIR CAMP FRIDAY
MORNING.

sNEDES, Miss, Nov. 14.-The condi-
tons were ideal for the presidents hunt
for bear this morning. The sky was over
cast with clouds at daybreak, few drops
of rain fell, but the clouds melted away
and the sun came back. The air was soft
and balmy, and old hunters hereabouts
say the dogs could work without distress.
About midnight "BilP' Ennolds arrived
here from the swamp country along the
Mississippi river with six bear dogs, and
Mr.. Mangum, despite his illness, started
with them for camp before daylight.
Mr.. Mangum's' only anxiety when he
left here was that the president might
have started before he could get to camp.
The arrangements last night were that
the president should start at the first
peep Of day, and, although no word has
come from the camp this morning, IT is
presumed that he was of on schedule
time. The president went with Hugh
Footes planter, and Hoke Collier to fol-
low. The other members of the party
were stationed by the guides at the cross
ings. .e
A number of newspaper men and pho
tographers reached here last night and
tried every expedient to reach the camp,
but their pleadings were vain. The ne
groes on the plantation who knew the
trail had. strict orders not to take any
outsiders In and the orders were obeyed.
Some of>them wanted to make an effort
without guides, but they were warned
that II they did not get lost In the dense
forest they would be stopped by the
guards along the trail. Several of them
left in the hope of being able to penetrate
the presidents retreat from another d.
rection. Everything possible is being done
here to prevent intruders from interfering
with. the presidents sport.
One enterprising photographer. finding
that he could not secure a photograph
a slight resemblance to the president to
pose on horseback in a cotton field, and
went away measurable satisfied that the
counterfeit would pass for the original.
There is a report here that Bob Bobbo
has agreed to bring his big bear hound
pack OF As hounds here, and will arrive
during the day.
A messenger arrived from camp at IL
O'Clock with the news that the president
and his guides started at daybreak this
morning and almost Immediately struck
the trail of three bears. The tracks were
fresh and the guides felt certain that the
president would kill a bear before he re-
turned TO camp tonight Half of the
party went OFF in another direction for
deer. The president had gone before Mr..
Mangum arrived and the six dogs brought
by the latter will be held in reserve for
tomorrow. All the dogs In the original
packs returned to camp last night. The
messenger reported that the president and
his party were well pleased with the ar
rangements at the camp. The president
was especially gratifed to find that the
camping outfit was of the simplest char
acter.

WILLARD LEE TO HANG,
SAYS SUPREME COURT

Willard Lee, the slayer Of Miss Lila May
Suttles, will be hanged for his crime. The
supreme court has affirmed the decision
of the lower court, which decision was
that Lee must hang.
Lee will be resentenced by Judge L. S.
Roam as soon as the remittur is sent down
from the supreme court to the superior
court. This usually takes about ten days.
Twenty days are allowed generally by
Judges of the superior court for men to be
hanged to prepare for death and IT may be
that Lee will walk on the gallows about
December goth, just before Christmas.
The supreme court declined to grant Lee
a new trial on the ground that there was
no error on the part of Judge Gambler in
declining to grant a mistrial because of
improper language by the solicitor general
and that there was no error in the charge
of the judge.
Lee killed Miss Suttles in a church at
Ben Hill on a Sunday afternoon early in
the spring, because she had refused to
marry him. The killing created great ex-
element at the time.
