Shot Up a House in Davie.

One OF the most exciting events
in Davie county, says the Winston
Journal, occurred on Thursday
night, the Goth, abousx midnight,
when number of men whose
identity has not been determined,
surrounded the home of Thomas
Dunn, of Bethlehem, and fired IL
shots into the windows of the
house, breaking out the panes of
every window in the house. Mr.,
Dunn, who was the only one of
the family at home that night, es-
capped being hit by falling flat OH
the floor.
Mr.. Dunn swore out warrants
against Luther West, Ollie Foster
and Blaine Smith and they were
tried before Justice of the Peace
E G, Smith and acquitted, owing
to the lack of evidence. These
men in turn swore out peace
warrant against Dunn, who gave
the required bond.
1t appears that it started over
trial of Luther West, Ollie Foster
and Blaine Smith for retailing in
which Mr.. Dunn was the principle
witness.

hunt in Montgomery. Ten dol

that amount to the individual
hunter. A hunt last week re-
suited in the capture of four Rey-

The infant child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Puett Randall died Tuesday
night. This followed an accident
to their little son who fell from
the porch and broke his leg. To
add to their sorrowful events,
both follow the death few days
ago of the mother. Mrs. Randall
was most estimable lady, and of
strong Christian character.
