NEGROES, DOGS
AND WILD HOG IN
4 FIERCE BATTLE
ONE BULL DOG KILLED AND ONE
NEGRO CHASED HIGH
UP IN A TREE.
AIT Of This Occurred Near Sterling
Yesterday Morning, Before the
Wild Hog Could BE kiiIed-created
Much Excitement.

A wild hog, two negroes and two
bull dogs were the principals in
death struggle near Sterling yester-
day afternoon, the final result being
that one dog was killed, one negro
was chased up to the top of a tree
and nearly frightened to death, while
the hog was finally captured and kill
ed. 1t was, however, a fight to the
finish and fer time it looked as If
the infuriated hog would be the cham
pion of the struggle.
G.. w. Wright was the only on
locker. He was riding through the
woods with his dogs and two negroes
when the wild hog was seen. The
animal at once made for the two me-
groes, who were walking, and Mr..
Wright put his bull dogs on the hog.
The two dogs. however, seemed no
match for the animal, as he bit one
so badly that he died later in the
afternoon. The hog then attacked one
of the negroes and he escaped injury
only by climbing nearby tree. While
the hog was chasing the negro up
the tree the other negro and the dog
which had not been injured succeeded
In overpowering the hog and he was
killed.
1t is reported that there are a large
number of wild hogs in the neighbor-
hood of Sterling and several have
been killed within the past several
months, but this is the first time that
people have been attacked by one.
The dog which was killed in the mixup
was a large bull dog owned by Mr..
Wright

city and has resided in Brunswick

ATE Up THE TOWN
TOURISTS STOP TRAIN AT LUM.
BER CITY AND CLEAN UP
ALL EATING PLACES,

Southern passenger train No. IA
was over an hour late in reaching the
city yesterday morning, but only a
few people know the real cause of
the delay.
The train was hauling an unusually
large number of tourists bound for
Florida; in fact there were more than
a dozen coaches, many of the passen-
gers going to Florida on a home-seek-
ers' excursion.
The excursionists had Travelled miles
without square meal It was an
nounced that they could secure break
fast at Lumber City, the Southern's
regular feeding station, and a wire
was sent ahead to the restaurant to
prepare all the extra meals possible.
This was done, but those extra meals
uid not stand any show at all. The
excursionists cleaned UP the dining
room, kitchen and pantry in less time
than 1t takes to relate 1t, and then
they made for the several grocery
stores in Lumber City, and before
they finished there was not can of
any kind of meat or fruit to be found
in the city Indeed it was a hungry
set, and incidentally regular busy
day with Lumber City grocerymen.
There was nothing for the train to
do but wait on the hungry passen-
gers, who, after eating up the restau-
rant and all the grocery stores, were
still hungry. This is peculiar rea-
sen for delaying passenger train,
but it was the real cause yesterday.

City COUNCIL.
At the next meeting of the city
council petition signed by all the
people who reside in the neighbor-
hood of Urbana and that section of
the city, as well as residents of other
parts of the city, will be presented,
urging the solons to install an cleo.
trio light at the intersection of Glou-
cester street and Glynn avenue.
1t is pointed out in the petition
that this is one of the most important
thoroughfares in the city, used all
during the night by automobiles and
other vehicles as well as many pedes-
trians, and some light is needed es-
pecially on dark nights. It is feared
that some serious accident will be the
result at the curve if the light is not
installed. Inasmuch as the petition
has been generally signed, it is more
than probable that council will grant
the request.

GLYNN COUNTY
BOND ELECTION
IS CALLED OFF
COMMISSIONERS TOOK THIS Ac-
TioN AT SPECIAL MEETING
.HELP YESTERDAY.
When Proper Agreement is Reached
With the Government Concerning
the Proposed Bridge the Election
Will Again Be Called.

At special meeting of the county
commissioners, held at the court
house yesterday, it was decided to call
off the bond election which had been
called for october % and a resolu-
tion to that effect was passed.
AS is we'll known this bond, cleo
tion was to have been held for the
purpose of giving the voters of the
county an opportunity to vote on an
issue of $4,000. the money to be
used for the construction of bridge
across the Altamaha river, which
would have given the Georgia Coast &
Piedmont railroad entrance into
Brunswick. An agreement had been
entered into between the railroad
company and Glynn and Mcintosh
counties, whereby the two counties
were to construct the bridge and were
to be paid an annual rentage fee by
the railroad, which meant that the
railroad company would eventually
pay the full amount.
But this arrangement and the
probable construction of the bridge
was upset by the United States gov
ernment several days ago, when the
announcement was made that the
government would require an addi-
tional span of 100 feet, which meant
an additional expenditure of 100000.
Upon receiving this information the
railroad company at once withdrew
their proposition to the two counties
and there was nothing left for the
commissioners to do but to rescind
-4e call for the election.
Just what will be done in the mat
ter is not yet known, but it is un-
derstood that an effort will be made
again to reopen the matter with the
government with a view of reaching
AN amicable adjustment.
The resolution passed by the board
yesterday, calling the election off, is
as follows:
Resolution of county commissioners
passed October 21, 1909:
Whereas, this board by resolution
passedf September 81, 1909, ordered
1909, td. determine the question Of
issuing bonds in the sum of $50, 100000
for the construction and improvement
Of public roads and bridges, and
Whereas, the plans as male and
submitted to the government officials
for the bridge over the south banks
of the Altamaha river have been
disapproved, and the government Of
ficials are requiring such changes IN
the plans as will necessitate further
negotiations, and
Whereas for the reasons stated it
is necessary to reach an agreement
with the representatives of the gov
ernment before the bridge can be con-
structed, and
Whereas. we deem 1t unwise to
hold the election for the issuing of
the bonds until the voters can be
informed as to what is to be done in
regard to the construction of this
bridge,
Therefore, resolved, that the res
olution and order calling said cleo
ton for October 2Sth, 1909, be and
the same is hereby rescinded and re-
voked upon the understanding that.
when an agreement is reached with
the representatives of the government
in regard to said bridge that another
election will be ordered on the ques-
tion.'
