mill and Cheraw, one day this week.

planting some corn and were at the
river bank when a large boar attacked
the senator's dog cutting 1t severely
with his tusks, and then made for
Senator McLaurin and Mr.. Moore, who
took refuge in the limbs OF a nearby
tree. AS soon as he got good oppor-
tunity Senator McLaurin shot the boar
several times and killed him. He
weighed about 400 pounds and had
tusks three or four inches long. His
nose had apparently been broken at
some time, and out Of the crack in his
nose they got three bullets which were
not those fired by Senator McLaurln.

tackled and severely cut Mr.. McQuage
in that vicinity a year or two ago.

threw his body in the river.
