ONE OF LANDMARKS SOLD
Mr.. BRYANT BUYS THE DUKE
STORE on Z. MAIN STREET.

The large building and lot On East
Main street occupied by Pollard
Bros. hardware store was yesterday
sold 10 Mr.. V. $. Bryant by the Luke
Land and Investment company. The
purchase price was $4,000.
This building is the one fl which
Dir. y. L. Duke first began business
10 the city. He started his business
career IN this building BY conducting
furniture store. For this reason
Mr. Duke has heretofore refused to
consider the sale OF the building
Yesterday price was agreed upon,
however. and the necessary papers
will likely BE- made In a few days.
Four years ago Mr Bryant pur-
chased the building adjoining the
property just purchased. and in which
be nov has his Office, for ST.. 900. The
two properties are Of almost exactly
the same value. and this shows the
upward strides in price which real
estate in the city has made during the
past few yearz.

REFUSED T0BE VAC|NATED
MIR. Il. +. BEST THEN GOT A GER
TIFICATE, But TOO LATE.

Mr.. Z. L. Best was this morning
convicted OF disobeying the health
ordinance OF the city in that he re
fused to be vaccinated when the
proper authorities called upon him.
After hearing the evidence in the
case and the lengthy arguments OF
the attorneys, Recorder Sykes
thought that the Law had been vio-
lated and imposed fine of IS and
the costs.
AT the time when the health officer
called upon him. Mr. Best had no
certificate showing that he was not a
At subject for vaccination, but he re-
fused to have the virus inserted.
This morning the defendant showed
a certineate which he had procured
from a physician after the warrant
uss issued showing that the state OF
his health was not such that yaccina-
ton would be safe. In the opinion
OF the Recorder. however. this GER
tifeate had no bearing on the. case
In that Mr.. Best committed the crime
at the time when the officer called
upon him and the procuring of the
certificate afterwards had no bearing
on the case.
An appeal from the decision OF the
Recorder was taken.

EATEN BY PACK Of WOLVES
A. BRIDAL PARTY WITH YOUNG
WIFE AND HUSBAND.

Vienna. March 2.-One hundred
and eighteen members OF wedding
party Of 1870, including the bride and
bridegroom, we're devoured by
wolves while travelling BY sledges
from Obstipoff to Tashkend, In
Asiatic Russia, distance Of 20
miles.
Yesterdays Zetia declares that the
two survivors reached Tashkend in a
half crazed condition. after having at
the last stages OF the journey thrown
the bride and bridegroom to the
reyenous pack OF wolves. These four
occupied the same sledge.
The survivors demanded that the
husband abandon his wife, to tighten
the sledge, but he refused.
In their rage. the survivors threw
both the husband and his wife from
the sledge. thus appeasing the
hunger of the wolves until the sledge
reached the edge of Tashkend.
The women and children of the
party were the first TO be thrown 10
the wolves. according to the sur
viyors. They say the party started
from Obstipoff in 80 two-horse
sledges and that few miles out
hundreds of hungry wolves attacked
them The men shot many of tine
maddened animals, but could not
check their pursuit.
Then it was that the men in the
party began sacrificing the women
and children. The wolves were so
and ravenous that even
when horse was pulled down il
checked the pack only few seconds.
