Gander' Leads Bind Beast to Water
and Wards off Attacks. :, *
A queer and interesting tale Of the
extraordinary friendship existing De-
tween a gander and blind OK on the
farm of Braxton IIolcroft, in the south
ern end of the county, was brought to
Greensboro, Ala, recently.
Each day, so the story goes. state
ly gander, with its breast full Of SYM
pathy and his head full of response
biiity, leads an ancient and totally
blind OK to a nearby pond for water.
The gander, walking just in front Of
the OK quacks now and then In order
that he may be followed by the sight
less animal and when the pond is
reached the gander stands guard whiie
the protege drinks his fill. Frequently
other oxen, try to attack the blind
animal, when the gander flies at them,
biting and flapping his wings till he
puts them to rout. When the OK has
finished drinking, the gander leads
him back to the field.

er farm during the night Of the snow
last week, with the tracks Of some
strange beast seen in the snow there
and elsewhere subsequent to the Incl
dent at the Walker farm, there was
panther scare at Matthews Saturday
night.
At least five reputable citizens OF
Matthews, including two women Of the
town, report they heard cries like those
that have been described as having
been heard in other sections, and one
man, Mr.. ePenninger, reported he saw
the animal. He called several Of his
neighbors, and. they looked for it, find
only its tracks, however. 1t is% said
that, although the matter had not''been
widely reported, the tracks Of some
beasts not yet identified, were seen on
the Will:McLeod place, near Matthews
a week. ago.
Tending to verify other reports that
the animal wasiin the vicinity of, Briar
creek last week and not far from the
DeArman place on the Lawyers road, is
the testimony of Banks McClintock of
the Charlotte National bank, who lives
near the intersection Of the Plaza and
Lawyers road at the edge of the city
He heard strange cries Sunday night
near the house and couldn't attribute 1t
to anything else than a baby crying.
AS the cries were continued for some
time and seemed to be made by an in
fant apparently in acute pain, he went
out to a negro cabin that stands in the
edge of the wooded section near his
residence to see if the cries came from
a baby there. The sounds were not To-
Gated, however. and neither: he nor the
others who heard them could 'identify
them. Mr. McClintock does not pre-
tend to say that the cries were those OF
a panther or Of any other wild beast,
but he admits that he does not know
what they were.
Since Saturday many reports have
come from country adjacent to Briar
and McAlpine creeks, from the neigh
.borhood of Matthews and other sec
tions between here and Matthews, re-
porting the presence of some wild crea-
ture whose tracks and cries4\are not
those of any identified animal. -.

nerves and cruel hardships undergone
undoubtedly contributed. was. unwor-
thy in every respect Of the best tradi:
tions of the American navy. and has
served to mar the glamour of their ad-
venture. The change. which public
sentiment has undergone in the matter
is shown by the abandonment of the
festivities that had been arranged both
in Canada and in New York. in their
honor.
So often has this been the case in the
past, thatthe quarrel between Lieuten-
ant Farrell and Lieutenant Hinton, also
their differences during the wearisome
trip from Hudson Bay to Mattice with
Lieutenant Kloor. the commander. of
the party, have plenty Of precedents.
Stanley Had QuarrcIs.
Thus, Henry NJ. Stanley was so in
tent on moaopolizing all the credit for
his memorable expedition across Africa
in order to rescue Emin Pasha from
the dervishes of the Upper Nile, that
he bound down all the, members of his
party by ironclad contracts before he
started neither to publish any record OF
the enterprise or even to talk for publi-
cation until a considerable time had
elapsed after their return to civiliza-
ton;
The expedition was marred through
out by uuarrels between him and vari-
Gus members of his band, and their
very names have been forgotten save
that of the ill-fated Major Edmund
Barttelot, Of the Scots guards, gal
liant officer with a splendid record, who
was killed in the wiids of the Dark
Continent under circumstances that
have remained shrouded in mystery to
this day and whose memory was as
sailed by Stanley in his book, Darkest
Africa in a particularly cruel fashion
by irlsinuations and od:ous.,reticences.
rather than by frank and definite
charges. -.
So great was the indignation excited
in England over this treatment of Ma
jor Barttelot that the British govern
ment found it necessary TO- delay for
almost the length, Of decade the re-
ward which had. been promised in case
of success TO Stanley, namely. the grand
