Frightened by a Bear.

An unusual event occurred in district
No. q Guilford, close to the Brattleboro
line. Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Jacobs were
driving to Brattleboro when their horse
became frightened and refused to go on,
so they returned home and started out
with different horse. When they were
little way below f. L. Houghton's
house, black bear estimated to weigh
$50 pounds, crossed the road in front of
them from east to west, went across
F. l.. Houghton's land and made for the
woods. Several men followed but were
unable to catch the animal. The bear
growled and showed fight, calling loudly
for It's mate, and badly frightening the
cattle in the pasture. Monday the bear was
heard from again on the range of hills
between Fred McClures and Julius Elk
ners farms.

SCORES ON STATE
Judge Bell Refuses to Turn
Over Stockholders Suits to
Georgia Authorities.

The affairs Of the Cosmopolitan Life
Insurance Company. now being aired in
third division of superior court. as d re
suit of numerous receivership suits filed
by dissatisfied stockholders, viii not be
turned over to state authorities until the
present suits are cleared.
Attorneys for the company scored the
first point in the litigation today when
Judge Bell, in resuming the hearing this
morning, refused to allow the states bill
filed Saturday by Attorney General
Fielder, to be combined with the original
suit of Dan G. Sudderth.
ReVerses His Ruling.
The jurist at first ruled that all the
suits, including the states request that
the affairs Of the company be sent to
the insurance department for disposition
be tried as one. But on the vigorous
contentious of the Cosmopolitan attorneys
that the states suit was a distinct BILL
the judge ordered the trial OF the Sud
derth suit to proceed.
The company's attorneys had main
tanned that the states suit took prece-
dence over the Sudderth bill and should
be tried first, but the court upon the
motion of Attorney General Fielder. who
asserted that the state should have the
benefit of the Sudderth evidence, ruled
otherwise
Trial Is Resumed.
Charles Hopkins and Luther Rosser,
acting for the company. contended that
only the state could act under the pro-
visions of the new insurance law, and
since private person could not take
advantage of ii, that the states bill
was not an Intervention on Sudderth
but separate suit, to be tried as such
The trial of the original suit held up
for three days owing TO the illness of
Judge Bell, was resumed at noon.
Attorneys for the National Assurance
Company, an organization recently thrown
into the hands of a receiver by the court
and against which a similar suit is pend
ing, declared today that they would pc
