Dog Scare.
'"h's Enterprise, Jan. O.
before Esq. J. W, Bostian's
court on Saturday evening there
appeared Miss Mamie Teeter. q
pretty girl of sixteen, who was
0 lnso leaving a good home on
'ne Sunday morning previous, &C.
'ompanylng, Travis Burris, whose
manifestations of love and inten.
0ions TO marry her led her into fol.
lowing Inn. The father arrived
mere on Saturday afternoon and
consulted with attorney J. R.
Price. He and the mother were
all broken up in heart and con.
siderlng tho girls tender age and
tne otfense committed against her
ne knew not what to do. It was
decided to start criminal action
against the young man, and re,
cover possession of the girl. This
was done with the result that Bur-
rls was sent to Jail Saturday night
In default of $500 bond. The girl
left the court room weeping, de-
clarlng her love for the young
man, and saying that she wanted
him and did not want to return
to her home. The scene for few
moments was very touching, and
showed to what extent the girls
mind had been played upon.
The girl said afterwards that
Burris told her when leaving home
that he had marriage license in
his pockets. This and other testi-
mony adds gravity to the charge,
and young Burris seems to have
before him quite a heavy charge
to face. And the bond has been
made heavier in light of this after
evidence.
The county surrounding the vi
cinlty of Efrds mill, some s miles
west of Albemarle, has been
thrown into the widest scare and
sensation on account of a mad dog
that ran at large about the
middle of December. -Four
sheep belonging to w. D,
Sides were bitten. Mr.. Sides PEN
ned the suspected ones, and only
a few days ago the sheep died in
the greatest agony, becoming wild
and frantic as the disease develop
ed. Great crowds are now being
drawn to Mr.. Sides house where
the last of the bitten animals is
penned up, being transformed
from a mild lamb-like disposition
to that of a ferocious wild beast.
The dog is said to have belonged
to Jonah G. Poplin, of Porter, and
1t is supposed to have bitten forty
or more dogs in it's route of havoc.
And that number of dogs has been
killed.
