Big Bear Believed to be at Large in
Union County, N. c.
Union county is the latest TO come
forward with a varmint story, accord
ing to the following from the Mineral
Springs correspondence Of the Monroe
Journal.
Quite lot of excitement was caused
here recently by the appearance Of
some strange wild animal. believed by
many to have been Il bear. 1t visited
the homes of Sam Alexander. colored
Mr. John Baker and your correspond
ent. No damage was done except dogs
and stock were tcrroized. At the home
Of your correspondent Il mule was so
scared that it was impossible to keep
him in the barn. PerSpiration literally
ran down his back, he was so fright
ened.
When the animal reached the place
Of Mr.. John Baker it gave vent to the
most hair-ralsing sound ever heard in
this section. 1t sounded more like a
calf in cNcruciating agony than any
other sound that | can recall except it
was short and staccato. 1t continued
yelling for about two minutes.
Meanwhile, IL posse was formed,
but by the time it had arrived on the
scene the animal had gone To the
woods near the old Ncsbit mine. On

That whiskey can not be stolen, and

OF Judge John D. Humphries in the
case of Lon Terry and o. N. Howell,
Atlanta, Ga, detectives, indicted for
stealing 81 quarts of rye whis;cy from
Clarence Hart. The theft charge was
mol pressed, but Terry was placed On
trial under another indictment charG-
ing possession Of liquor.

key has been outlawcd. declared not
to be property and to he contrahand.
It having no property value, naturally
is incapable of being stolen and this
court will mol pross the indictment as
to liquor. Ehe court will mol pross tic

Solicitor Boykin. contended that the
bill was good. and the question was
raised Of what course the court would
have followed if the liquor had been in
the suitcaseS.
I'm that case the indictment still
would not have been good" said Judge

JUROR SICK AND
 SEAY TRIAL HALTS
Large Crowd Surrounds Jail and Mutterings of Vio-
 lence Are Heard

Florence, JuEe 10. Special )-- When court was called to order at s:1o o'clock this morning in the case af r. Whit Scay, who is on trial for the murder of his wife, Myrtle Will Hams Seay, Judge c. P. Aimon was compelled to declare recess until 80 this afternoon on account of an acute illness of Robert L. Goode. one of the jury men from the Rogersville community.
 When court was reconvened at i:s0 D. m., Mir. Goode stated that he was still sick, and pr. A, A. Jackson of Florence was put upon the stand and said that he had examined MT. Goode and that he was physically unable to withstand the strain of the proceed ings this afternoon. Court was there upon adjourned until 9 a. m- tomor- row.
 Judge Almon stated this afternoon that he would not declare mistrial in the case, but unless the juror recovered sufficiently to perform his duties before the time prescribed by law in such cases elapses that he would have to do so
 The attitude of the public towards the delay in the trial is evident, and at D. m. today 2,000 to 1000 peo- pie who are here attending the trial seemed to be very impatient. Mutt tered threats of violence could be heard here and there about the streets, and a huge crowd is gathered around the county jail. but for the most part it is composed of curious people who had heard that Seay was about to be lynched by mob. The jail is amply guarded, and the crowd appears to be without a leader.
