He was going up the river Satur-
day. in a gasoline launch, and noticed
a muskrat, apparently greatly excited
coming down the river at a rapid rate,
diving and swimming. Close behind
the muskrat was a large garfish bent
on its capture and the chase continued
until the muskrat shot into his hole
in a hollow low on the bank at the
edge of the water. The garfish start
ed into the hole after the rat and got
his head hung and could go neither
way. The muskrat went out the other
end. Mr.. Webb took a boat hook and
struck the large fish and tried to fast
en- him but he got away.-Kinston

Much interest centers about the @On-

Glenwood Land Co., in this city, i'll
h suburban real estate known as
Glenwood, which property was con
demned and through which the rail-
road company would pass in order to
reach Raleigh as a terminal. b
claims as stated by uninterested par
ties who may speak as experts in such
matters, run all the way from a thou
sand Or two dollars up to about sixty
thousand dollars. So far there has
been no satisfactory adjudication IN
the matter. The property owners fee.

They Put Up at Salisbury Boarding
House and Now the Other Guests
Are Sadder but Wiser.

The officers are today on the hunt of
some transient, very transient and
ephemeral, earth-passengers who came
to Salisbury and stopped at the board
ing house of Mrs. R. A. Byrd. They
barely stopped at the period of assign
ment of rooms; they have not hesitat-
ed since The men were not bad look
ing, and put up as if they had struck
a place at last hat would be a good
spot to spend their declining days
They managed to get into all the COM
binations at once, and, taking their
valises, stuffed them with valuable
things and money to the amount OF
SIS. They proceeded to another place
then, and there is not the slightest
thing to mark them as men to be
stunned. The loss falls upon Mrs.
Byrd more heavily than any one else,
though she has boarders who miss
their goods.-Salisbury Special to
