COLORED MAN CAUGHT
IN WATERMELON PATCH

With a cOlOred camp meeting in pro-
gress not half.m mile from his water
melon field, W. n. Hires has had an
experience which produced some
amusement as well as annoyance. He
raises choice varieties, such as the
''Icing" and other fine table melon,
and the c0lOTed race has splendid ap-
probation OF the watermelon, which
led several to trespass and procure
some of the finest melons. Last Sun.
day night he hid in the butter bean
vines at the edge Of the field about half
past eight o'clock, and in a few minutes
he saw a colored man enter the field
from the railroad. Before challenging
him, Mr.. Hires permitted the man to
walk into the field distance in search
Of largemelOn but when challenged, I,
the fellow gave his name as Alex. Cow
erdale and begged to be let off, as the
muzzle of double barrelled gun was
poked into his face. He was told to
git. and as the fellow went out bird
shot at a distance Of sixty yards accell
Grated his rate of speed. Mr.. Hires
says that from heel to toe Of the steps
distance Of eight feet was covered. 1t
is safe to say, that he will have more
sport, and more annoyance from melon
stealers before the season is over. We
have plenty of laws against stealing.
but they don't stop stealing yet care
ful watch and a good shot gun will dis
courage the thieves.

Police News.

Last Monday two cases were tried
before Esquire Truitt for cruel treat.
ment Of a horse which had banked in
North Milford on the Sunday previous.
The first was that Of John Gibbs, a
Blacksmith, employed by Nutter d
Windsor, who plead guilty and was
fined $6. The other case was that Of
Harry Lindle, who also submitted the
case for settlement, and he was fined S6
and received a lecture from the justice.
Both men were admOnisbed that if
they again were brought before the
court for cruelty, that they would be
given the full measure of the law-S25
and costs. 1t is a duty that every citi.
zen owes to dumb animals to present
all cases of cruel treatment to animals
of any kind to the officers Of the law,
that they may be properly fined for
cruelty. This instance should be warn
ing to others who are reported to have
abused animals on the streets Of the
town. A negro who was with the above
parties escaped, but will be dealt with
az soon as located,
