NEW TERROR ON

Wounded in an engagement which
had driven the Germans from their
trenches he found himself later to, be

of dead. Pulling himself together, and
leaning on his sword he walked as
best he could toward the supposed
shelter of his comrades in the woods.
Just as I reached the edge OF the
wood" he says, u stopped In terror.
From the distance there came the
bowling OF a wolf. It sounded unut-
tterably melancholy and dreadful in
the still autumn night. Another wolf
answered. In the same long-drawn,
dismal note. The bowling drew near

and more exultant every moment,

2 NEGROES SURRENDER
TO OFFICERS OF LAW
And Plead Guilty TO Taking Part
in Gamb-
ling,

Whether II a the lashings of q
guilty conscience or their employers
that forced two negroes to. come 10
town Thursday and confess TO the au-
thorities that they had been guilty Of
participating in n big game OF skin"
which took place early this week, is
not definitely known. but the prepon-
ference Of opinion is thai the employ
ers OF the two negroes. knowing that
the two blacks would be rounded up
sooner or later on these charges and
probably convicted. with the result
that the masters would have to pay
heavier fines than IL the negroes plead
ed guilty, made the fellows come 10
the magistrate and surrender.
Al any rate, Magistrate Broadweil
was surprised Thursday when two ne
groes. Charley Cherry anu Jim Tray
men, came to his Office and stated that
they desired to surrender and have
charges of gambling entered UP
against them. The negroes went ON
to say that they desired TO plead
guilty to the charges and receive Sen-
tencc. 1t took Magistrate Broadwell
but n short while to comply with their
wishes, each being sentenced to nay
a fine Of $50 or serve 30 days on the
gang.
These two negroes were members
of a large gambling party which Dep
uty Sheriff Olin Sanders and Consta-
bles Bill brennan and Jim Williams
surprised early Tuesday morning on
the plantation of Mr.. DIP. McPahiI,
some eve miles north OF the city.
In this raid the officers captured six
negroes. OF the large number who
got away the names of several were
known II the officers.
The employers of the negroes evi-
IDENTIFY knew this and realized that Il
would be but . short while before the
authorities would have tho negroes
under arrest. 1t is thought that the
employers made the negroes come in
and surrender and pay their fines.
OF the six negroes tried last Tues
day afternoon before Magistrate
8roadwell and convicted for partici-
rating in this gambling party, ali but
one, Mack Pickens. have been paid
out Of Jail.
