The preliminary hearing before ESQ
Green of Chas Coldwell charged with
murder of John Long, resulted in chs
acquital of Coliwell on the grounds OF
self, defense.
The town was little boczy Satur-
day. Sheriff Coudra registered three
cases of drunkenness in public place
before Esq. n B. Moore. One of the
drunken lads did some tall and tiptop
crying aud at the same time did some
tall swearing, and said he was azchris-
tian, and told the court it took..a horse
to ride him, and at the same time ex-
hibited a pocket testament. He stated
that he was millionaire, worth three
million dollars, but when it came to a
show down 81 so was all the unfortu-
nate young man had, and to avoid his
boarding few days at the county seat
his friends hustled up the change it
required and he was taken in the d.
rection of home sweet home.
l think Mr.. Station was only exag-
Grating and getting off some fun on
Mr.. Norwood and Mr.. Thomas rela-
tive to that big pile of greenbacks
offered by them in his race for sheriff.
Sam just imagined that from some gag
and stuff Thomas tipped him off with.
You must not be SO positive or get
carried off with every little tip given
you as joke
DIR. N. B. Moore and John Moore,
of Cedar Springs, and others will tip
the top of Cumberland mountain Mon
day morning for the biggest hunt OF
the season. A grand old time hunt in
the wild woods like they had in the
days of our forefathers is expected.
DR.. L. L. Janeway was called to
the bedside of Bee White. son of ".
II. White, who is very low with few
er. and in serious condition. A speedy
recovery is hoped for by his parents
that he may return to school at the
Chapel.
We are sorry to pen the death of
Thompsoe Mclean who died at Vic
turia last week We tender our SYM
pathy to his family and relations and
feel that the country has lost noble
man from among us.
Bert Kimbro and Joe COndra made
a flying dash to the side of Walden's
Ridge Saturday night to bag few
raccoons and 'possoms If the boys
keep up the gait they were travelling
when last seen. and they have no bad
luck along the line there will be con-
siderable territory passed over. Their
return to the offics with two big sacks
full of game will be expected. They
have a wonderful record for bagging
the wild animals of the forest.
/ forgot to make mention of P. s.
Harris, who has cast his hat in the
ring as candidate for sheriff of Ma
rion of County. You may keep your
eye skinned and sharp lookout in the
columns of the News for his announce
ment to appear, which doubtless will
be within the next two weeks. Mr..
Harris is we'll known and we are led
to believe If elected would make a
model sheriff.
We are proud to see B. Long, Trus-
tee. able to be up again and running
for the Office second term. Mr..
Long, we all know, is No. good
man and will make the race quite in
teresting to his opponents.
j. r Pickett's son and one of the
Terry boys and another boy are alleg- |
I'D to have shot Esq. j. E. leagues
daughter Friday night rs she was 60
ing home from Whitwell. AS she !,
passed the boys in the public road
some one of the lads opened fire on
Miss league with a single barrel shot
gun, but only one shot took effect.
As to what prompted the lads to fire is
. mystery. Miss league wasn't hurt
She just happened to be
nut of range for the size of shot to
AXE much effect. AS to Just what this
will develop is kept in the dark.
