TELLS ABOUT CHASE OF BO In connection with the story In last Wednesday’s Herald concerning the invading qj the-home of Mr. John .C. Gary by a negro who ItTs supp was bent on burglarizing the house, Mr. Gary, who reported the matter to the Athens authorities upon his re turn to his home near Center after a business trip to Athens, says that when he hailed the house and his call was unanswered and becoming alarm cd had asked for assistance from the authorities to aid in securing the negro whom he heard fleeing from his house after he had sounded the alarm. Mr. A. L. Brooks, of the city stockade came out bringing his dogs .with him. The dogs look up the track at the window, Mr. Gary says, and chased ,thc negro through the fields and woods near the house of Mr. Gary, going in a westward direction, and then took the back track, and then going through a wheat field to. Mr. Gary’s plantation bam, and then to a negro house near the bam, and then within twenty feet of the negro house; then on to C. ft. Brooks' barn; then through the woods in the direction of Center. Immedi ately after the dogs had left the place of Mr. Gary, Mr. A. L. Brooks claimed that his stockade duties demanded his attention and returned to Athens. Mr. Gary says that he urged Mr. Brooks to continue the chase, offering to do so himself if he would lend him the dogs, promising to take good care of them, but this'Mr. Brooks declined to do, but gave his promise that he would return at 6:30 and renew the chase at the point where the dogs left off, but Mr. Gary says that this Mr. Brooks failed to do.

In last Friday’s Herald appeared the following: A suit to recover damages te the amount of 4353.50 has been filed in the city court against Dr. M. F. Math ews by H. P. Hinton. It Is alleged that a mule belonging to Mr. Hinton, driven by a colored man at the time, was run into and hurt so that he had ‘ to be killed; that the injury to the mule was caused by Dr. Mathews’ au tomobile; and that the amount asked, the vsluc claimed for the mule, should be awarded the plaintiff from the de fendant. Never REST try them out a contributor to the Herald sends in the following about the mule: Mules look very much alike, so per- | perhaps the mule mentioned in the ! r.uit 'is really a dead one. Profuse Thanks For His $20 or The 40 Days Sentence Mattera looked decidedly dubious for Edward for he had three charges against him, 360 ,363 and a public indecency charge. If he had had ten more charges booked against him, he would not have been able to explain any of them for Ed told the court that he did not remember anything about how he happened to get to po lice station, but he was very grateful for the good care the police had taken of him, and he expressed himself in about this way. ■ “Jedge, youse sees a guilty man afore youse; fact is I disremember wat I did, but sure wuz drunk, yas sah, yer honor, I wuz very drunk, en l’se ’bleeged ter de perliee fer taking sech good care of me; l’se at yer mercy yer honor; I kan’t tell youse no story ’bout dis.” The evidence was that the negro had been picked up by Officers Me Call and Seagraves on Broad street n a very soused condition but not enough soused to keep him from cussing loudly. He was not able ,to navigate at all, so the officers got a vehicle and conveyed him to the sti- tion where he was assigned a room (without bath) and today he told Judge Price how it was. The recorder levied on Edward to the extent of 420 fine or 40daya at the Stock. "Thank you, Jedge, thank you very much,” said the defendant as he sat down. CATTLE FROM MEXICO.
