near by. Looking up she discovered
a negro man in a clump of bushes a
few feet away in the act of springing
at her. The frightened girl started
to run to the house, but the negro
headed her off, forcing her to take
another route, which fortunately, led
into an open field, where her pursuer
stopped chasing her. Reaching home
In safety the girl related what had
happened, whereupon her father and
several neighbors arming themselves
with guns, searched the country for
hours for the negro, but failed to

GAME WARDEN ACQUITTED.
Interesting Case Involving the Au-
thority of Game Wardens.

Williston, June ia very in
teresting case involving the constitu-
tionality of the authority of game
wardens to go on lands of others
when not provided with a regular
warrant was tried before Magistrate
Frederick to-day The facts in the
case are as follows: Mr.. Dan Wha-
ley, who was regularly appointed a
game warden for this district, was
informed that Mr.. N. M. Bates was
maintaining a fish trap in the race
way of his mill. When he warned
Bates of the rumored violation Of the
law, he was then warned by Mr..
Bates not to make an entry on his
lands. Disregarding this warning
Mr.. Whaley walked across the mill
dam to satisfy himself of the truth
of his information, but saw no trap.
Mr.. Whaley was then indicted for un-
lawful entry and trespass on the
lands of Mr.. Bates. The question
turned upon the point whether the
commission of Mr.. Whaley, issued, to
him as game warden under the terms
of the act incorporating the Audubon
SOClSLy, duu Ny IuC SOFClAOl VI IAO
State, gave him the right to walk
across the dam when he was not arm
ed with a warrant of lawful issue au-
thorizing him to make the entry.
Mr.. Bates through his attorney, Mr..
Einstein, contended that without this
warrant his commission did not pre-
vent him from committing the tres
pass as charged. Mr.. Whaley,
through his attorney, Mr.. Croft,
claimed that his commission consti-
tuted his lawful authority for the act.
Then Magistrate Frederick charged
the jury as follows: Gentlemen, If
you believe he had the right to go
there you must acquit him, but If his
commission did not give him the
lawful right then you must find him
guilty." In a very few moments the
jury returned verdict of not gull
ty.

BILLINGS WAS GUILTY.
Such is the Verdict of North Caro-
lima Jury.

The case of the Rev. C. M. Billings
against the Charlotte Observer, for
$4,000 damages, was tried at Went
worth, Rockingham County, N. c.,
last week, the trial lasting several
days. The case was bitterly contest
ed on both sides, many preachers
from a distance being present to
testify to the good character Of 6ill1
ings, while a. number of people from
Blackvilie and Bamberg were pres
ent to testify against him as to his
conduct in regard to the servant
girl In his household. s
The attorneys for the defense were
especially severe in their denuncia-
ton of Billings in their addresses
to the jury. One gentleman who
heard the speeches said he would
not have had such things said of him
for $4,000. The issues submitted
to the jury were: 4.
Were the charges in regard to his
conduct in and around Blackville
true? The jury returned verdict.
of yes.
Were the charges in regard to
happenings at Waynesville, N. CT.
true? The jury answered no.
The last issue was: What dam
ages, If any, should be awarded the
plaintiff? The jury found for $6,-
600 damages, but the Judge prompt
ly set the verdict aside and granted
a new trial. However, there Is no
doubt but that this ends the case,
for it is practically certain that the
case will never come to trial again
Why Billings should have brought
suit against the Charlotte Observer.
we cannot imagine. Newspapers
in this State had great deal more
to say about the affair, and we con-
slider the Observers article very
mild indeed. Rev. j. B.. Holley,
formerly of this place but now Of
Augusta, was present at the trial a8
friend of Billings.
