Girl Helps Kill Wolf.

BEDFORD, IND, March 13.-Miss
Lulu Cobb, seventeen years old, is
the heroine in the killing of a gray
timber wolf at Springville. The wolf,
which had been living off sheep and
poultry of the Perry Township far.
mers for several months, was scared
up in Monroe County and was chased
by men and boys toward Springville.
On Caleb Cobb's farm it took refuge
in cellar of an unoccupied house.
Miss Cobb saw it enter and telephon-
ed from the house to her father.
Then she procured a gun, closed the
cellar door, and guarded the wolf
until Ira Anderson arrived.
She was denied the privilege Of
shooting it by Anderson, who feared
it might escape, and he shot it HIM
self. Miss Cobb gets the skin, how
ever, which measures 5 feet 10 inches
from the nose to the end of the tail.
Just before the wolf reached the
cellar it had a fight with three dogs,
killing all of them.

SIOUX SEE BIG FATHER.
Chiefs do not Want Ute Indians to
Live With Sioux.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The
Cheyenne Sioux Indians do not want
the Utes of South Dakota to live on
their reservation, and a delegation
of their chiefs came to Washington
to tell the President so. They went
to the White House yesterday morn
ing, four of them-Iron Tomahawk,
Crow Eagle, White Beaver and John
Woodpile-and were received by the
President.
The Utes have for some months en-
joyed the reputation of being the
worst of bad Indians, for they went
on a rampage last summer, were
chased by the cavalry from Fort
Meade, and are now prisoners on the
reservation at that post.
Some of their chiefs came to Wash
ington under guard several weeks
ago to tell the President that they
wanted to emigrate to the country
of the Cheyenne Sioux. The Chey-
enne chiefs will not hear of this.
They told the President, through
their Interpreter, that the Utes were
bad Indians, that they would not
work, and were trouble makers
wherever they were found.

Price too Cheap.

Isaac was a horse trader. He had
number of horses on hand and was
short of feed. He sent young key
to nearby farmer to inquire what
he would charge to board the horses.
Ikey came back with the report that
the farmer asked three dollars per
head a month. "You must get them
down, it's too much, talk to 'em
again" He went and came back
saying that the farmer was down to
two dollars. He was dispatched off
again, the price was still too high.
The farmer came down to one dollar
this time and next time to fifty cents
per head. "Ah" said the happy
father, "Ikey, you're shmart; fifty
cents is cheap enough, but go and
ask the farmer how much he will al
low me for the manure. key came
back and said: "The farmer said
that at that price there wouldn't be
any manure"

RABENS GETS THREE YEARS.
Appeal Taken to the State Supreme
Court However.

COLUMBIA, March 12.-Rudolph
Rabens, who was convicted at WAL
halla of receiving stolen goods know
ing it to be stolen, today appeared
before Judge Gary in Columbia, with
his counsel, R. T. Jaynes, of Walhalla,
and Solicitor Boggs and by consent
the sealed sentence against Rabens
was opened.
1t was found that he had been SEN
fenced to labor on the public roads
of Oconee county for three years or
a like term in the State penitentiary.
Mr.. Jaynes stated to the judge
that they considered the sentence
excessive in view of the testimony,
but the Judge said it was not in his
opinion excessive and that had the
other two counts against Rabens
Been tried the result might have
been worse for him.
Mr.. Jaynes explained that the rea-
son Rabens was not present when
the case was called for trial was that
he had been advised that the case
could not be reached in the docket
and that there was no use for him to
go to Walhalla.
This was the fault Of his counsel
for which the attorney apologized
and said that they had deposited
a cash bond of $4,000 with the
clerk of the court at Walhalla yester-
day for the appearance of Rabens at
any time and the attorney gave
notice of appeal to the Supreme
Court. Rabens is stopping at a
hotel.

Not Crazy But Honest.

Kankakee, ILL.,, presents the as
founding case of a man who has
been driven crazy by an increase in
his wages. His employer voluntarily
added SIS a month to his pay. The
man could not understand it, and
declared that he couldn't do better
work for the higher pay than he had
been doing for the old rate. His
fellow workers laughed at him, but
the queer fellow insisted that if ne
got more money he ought to do bet
ter work. He made an effort to i'm
prove on his work, and when he fail
ed to do it the matter preyed on his
mind to such an extent that his
reason was unseated. We shall
probably never again hear of such a
case.

store of Mr.. Peterkin at Fort Motto,

WE ARE NOT SURPRISED.
One of the Negro Troopers in Trouble
in Richland.

COLUMBIA, March 12.-One of the
negroes who figured in the shooting
up of Brownsville has also figured in
a row in this county. Carolina De-
Sassure, who belonged to the fam
Gus battalion dismissed by President
Roosevelt, is native of this State,
his family having come from about
Sumter. Recently Carolina has been
staying at Eastover, in the lower
portion of Richland county, where
there is a very large settlement Of
negroes. On Monday he was in the
store run by the Mckenzie brothers
and interfered in a trade between
Mr.. Ted Mckenzie and a negro GUS
toner, telling Mckenzie not to cheat
the negro.
DeSassure displayed a pair of
brass knucks and evidently intended
to bluff Mckenzie, but Mckenzie is
not the bluffing kind and heprompt-
ly proceeded to knock the negro
down and was about to shoot him
when his brother, Ross Mckenzie,
interfered to save the negro's life
and a three cornered fight ensued.
The negro made his escape and jump:
ed into another negro's buggy and
commanded him to drive him off,
which the negro did.
Mckenzie found that they had
both been outdone by the Browns
vile hero, Ted Mckenzie being >cut
on the leg and Ross on the hand:
However, they and others chased
the negro for a considerable distance
and it is supposed that the negro
took refuge in the swamps not many
miles away.
At any rate he has not shown up
again. Mr.. Ross Mckenzie was in
the city today and had his hand band
aged from the cut of the negro's
razor.

Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, March 18.-Farmers
in this section are busy planting corn;
that is, all that have succeeded in
getting the fertilizer ordered for
them. Cars seem to be scarce and
orders come out very slow.
Mr.. Frank H. Copeland will move
in his new home today. Mr.. Jesse j.
Farrell and wife will stay with them
until he can build himself house on
his lot.
Mr.. J. C. Mckenzie was hustling
around Saturday getting bondsmen
until he can buy him one, as the dis
pensary board required their employ
ees to buy one. This means that
our dispensary will soon be opened
up again. The tiger or tigers have
gotten a little bolder and were in
town growing. Our mayor viii!
have to soon order a hunt for him if
he gets much bolder.
Messrs. Mitchum Bros. opened up
their store Saturday and are ready
for business again.
Some of the bird hunters gave the
birds a round last week. The time
expired for this sport until fall.
Some birds were bagged and were
not bad to eat next morning fol-
breakfast. Some Of our sports are
making boats for the pursuit of the
fnny tribe later on.
C.. Ehrhardt & Sons have just re.
ceived a car of K. Of P. distributors,
and will offer them at low figures fol-
the cash. They are considered to be
the best distributors offered on the
market, and anyone in need of such
a labor saving machine will find it tc
their interest to call upon them and
examine the conveniences of the ma.
chine before buying other makes.
Farm Ia is very scarce in this
section. / 1eral farmers haven't
succeeded in .retting anyone to work
for them. THIS will reduce the area
of the crops for 1907 considerably.
The town council is doing some
nice work on our streets now. Let
the good work 60 on, as it is much
needed for comfort and looks by ou1
citizens. A few more bitches would
help to dry portions of our town ir
wet weather.
We had fight in town last week
Two colored boys went at it on their
knucks, as they call it. No one inter.
fered and when they were satisfied
they turned their backs on each other
and went their way. No blood was
shed and not many bruises.
Mrs. May Copeland returned from
Atlanta last week, where she went
in search of millinery goods.
C.. Ehrhardt & Sons are contem-

They think of enlarging their plant
