Cats Hear Call Of the Wild.

An interesting study Of animal
nature is found by 'possuu and
coon hunters of this city in the
1000 or more acres of dense tim
Der of the Marmaton river bot.
toms, east of town, 1t is found
that many once tame house cats
are now inhabiting the timber as
wild and more ferocious fighters
when treod than any other species
of animals which hunters are apt
to encounter in these woods.
Nearly every hunting party
spending a night in those woods
comes up with a cat that has 'tgone
back to the Wild" The SUPPOSE
ton is that these cats have been
tempted to the woods by the field
and wood mice and other prey
upon which cats like to feed and
VIVA
that they gradually become accus-
toned to wild life and make their.
home there. Frequently a party
of hunters has chased q cat half
a night to have an exciting fight
when the dogs finally cornered it.
The cats thus returned to the
native life of their species are said
by the hunters to grow considera-
bly, larger than their civilized
brotners and sisters and to be able
to engage a whole pack of dogs

from her serious illness at Wal

the recent hot weather brought on
a pronounced attack of nervous

It was not until this afternoon

gave cause for anxiety. About
noon she grew worse and two
specialists were called in. They
remained in attendance until the
end. Lady Curzon leaves two
daughters.
It was announced at the Cur
ION residence this evening that
the final cause of Lady Curzon's
death was heart failure, but she
had been suffering from compli-
cations which were the sequel of
her terrible illness of two years
ago. The funeral, the date of
which has not yet been fixed. will

A PECULIAR SUIT.
The Slayer Of AIexsOn Sues the Rail-
road Company for Damages.

Messrs. Robinson & Shaw, a law
firm of this city, s"d J,hu w.
Bolton, q member of the bar,
today instituted suit against the
Atlantic Coast Ii 70 Railroad,
operating the branc , Atlantic &
Yadkin Railroad bet 7een Sanford
and Wilmington, I'll, papers re-
turnable at the Au ust tenn of
the Cumberland Su ,erior Court.
Their client is Bedsc @, who killed
Alexson On an excursion train be-
tween Steadman and Wilmington,
on the night of Satu day the 18th
instant, or the early morning of
Sunday the Sth instant. The
damages are not 80 ! II specifically
stated, but it is und rstood that a
large amount will 10 asked for.
The complaint of che plaintiff
Bedside is set forth ) follows:
That when the ex ;ursion train
started from Stedma Il Alexson de-
clared his intention # killing the
plaintiff, swearing tat he should
never get back to S;edman; that
he was drunk and ~disorderly and
showed himself to be- heavily arm
ed; that on the excursion train
the plaintiff, so far from provoke
ing trouble with the deceased
Alexson, who had made threats,
bought a reserved seat in a
locked car; that the managers of
the excursion train left said train
in charge of the conductor, who,
on starting to unlock the car in
which Bedside was seated. was
warned by passengers not to dc
SO as Aiexson would harm or kill
Bedside; that the conductor de-
clared that Alexson was bIcffing
that he did unlock the door OF
the car; that Alexson entered with
two revolvers in his hands, where
upon plaintiff, in defense of his
own life, took that of Alexson.
The plaintiff states that in conse.
quence Of the disorder, confusion
and bad management Oh tho said
train and on account, above all,
of the cloud resting upon him,
that in consequence of said b@d
management, he was forced to
commit a homicide, he has been
seriously and grievously injured.

Allen Surratt, of Jackson Hill
township, has become insane and
last week attempted suicide. He
used a pocket knife in an attempt
to cut his throat but timely in
reference saved his life. A cash
was made in his neck and the
jugular vein was almost severed.
He has the idea that some
one wishes to take his life and his
action was intended, apparently,
to forestall such an attempt and
kill himself. Dis

Saturday afternoon about 2 O'Clock
I found a white shirt button and
a lump of blood. [ gave these to
DR.. Dorsett. A blueish shirt was
found in a brier patch. It looked
like some one had tried to wash
it. When we started up to look
for the axe Henry said ''them peo-
pie will swear on a stack of Bibles
as high as the sky that they didn't
do it," The boy said the lamp
was taken from a negro church,
and thrown in a brier patch after
the killing.
John Brown testified: [ found
the lamp just as it Is now, with a
Il tile oil in it. We found the
lamp Is or 20 feet from the road
when we stopped to pick some
blackberries. The lamp had been
placed there fresh. Mr.. Sanders,
who was with me, carried the
lamp. He asked Addie Lyerly
whose it was. Miss Mary was

He said the Jack that worked for

higher rate of si7.4i would be APPLIED
TO railroad as well as other property.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY a, 1903.

The action Of the state tax commits
sioners in connection with the assess
ment OF the railroad properties Of this
state for the current year is disgusting.
First tho commission hxed upon a
certai valuation for the railroads Of
the state. This conclusion was arrived
at after several months Of preparation
and confederation. The railroad pro-
perty was equalized with the other
property Of the state and a certain rate
fixed upon for each class OF property as
the correct one and the figures were
made public.
Immediately there arose a howl from
all quarters Those who found fault
claimed that the rate on tne railroads
was too low. The commissioners made
a great show Of standing by their guns.
Statements were issued showing why
the commissioners had arrived at GER
tain conclusions. These statements
didn't apease the wrath" OF the fault
finders and when the commissioners
saw that they couldn't stop the outcry
IL was whispered that 1.-THE end was
not yet. A review day was left to
make good upon.
Accordingly. last Friday, the re.
vised figures were given out and IL was
ascertained that the commissioners
had placed the railroads back where
they were, 80 10 speak. The GAlbraith
law, which was designed to regulate
any inequality between the railroad
and other property was ignored and
the assessments made by the various
assessing officers taken az the true cash
value.
II looks worry much as If the com
missioncrs were "afraid Of the cars
II their first assessment was right.
they should have stood by IL. If il
was wrong they certainly knew il
wnen they fixed upon that rate or else
they are incompetent There Is nc
reason why railroad should BE-
soaked just because there is 4
putlic prejudice against railroads MOI
Is there any reason why q railroad
should pay at a less rate than ans
other property owner This vacillat
ing policy on the part Of the commits
sioners Is certainly disgusting It's 4
case Of trying to please everybody and
pleasing nobody.
