BIG TIGER HID
IN EASTMACON
Ita Lair Waa a Moat Unuaual Plaoa,
Bonaath a Pila of Telegraph Polos
—Trapped by Two Liptmtna
Thorn urn Juot lota of people In Hast
Karon today who are cuaalng thorn*
oolvea for not having thought to look
undrr a pile of telegraph poloa that lay
at tha edge of a Arid on the Mllledge-
vllle road, shortly beyond Hydroll*
street.
It's all because a couple of linemen,
employed by th* Hell Telephone Com
pany. yesterday unearthed a great big
blind tiger, a healthy one with both
eyes abut, beneath that pile of Inno-
cent-looking but rotting telegraph
poles. iHeneath the poles there waa
someone's cache containing sixteen ftilv
quarts of ’'case goods'' whisky. The
stuff waa very cleverly hidden, being
entirely concealed from observation.
Thn •'tlgei*' waa also well protected
from the elements for besides the over,
head covering of heavy poles. It lay
beneath a piece of tin.
The telephone linemen consider
themselves lucky. At least, their
friends say they do, for the lineman
themselves have not been seen since
the discovery, sixteen quarts of rep
reaentstlve liquor, which they prompt’
ly claimed as their own. waa entirely
too great n sight for two ahts-hodteq
men in "these piping times of peace.**

when the work was completed there
were found to bs about fifteen polos
remaining. These were Piled up in
the nearest field and left to take care
of themselves until naedad. That
they have since been utilised
hiding place of a blind tiger became
apparent yesterday. It Is believed that
much of the whisky which has made
Its appearance in certain parts of Ihi
city at varloua times, and tha fourv
tain head of which haa been lone
sought by county officers, cam* from
that storehouse beneath tha pile at
poles, the operators sagely concluding
that it would be the last plaoa In the
world to attract suspicion or atten
tion. They did not reckon, however,
on the poles brink moved.
Th* death of the "tiger'* was effec
tual am! thorough. Not even a vea

Its untimely demise will be deeply
mourned by the owners, who hid It
well tamed and completely under sub
jection. It has positively made Ita

Election Psised Off Quietly and Without
a Hitch—Judge Poo Wins In the Upper
City by One Vote—Judge Stoke* Evi
dently Forgot to Com? In.
The election yesterday for Justice* of
the peace for the nine militia districts of
the epunty passed off quietly, but was
not without Interest, and possibly some
surprises.
In the upper city district. Judge Stoker,
who was expected to come up th©
river.In the house-bout he has been mak
ing his home for soma tlnr.o. and offer
himself for re-election, but thero was
no sign of th* boat nt the landing. Pos
sibly he was so absorbed In catching fish
und reading his beloved Shakespearo that
he forgot all about it.
Tt was then a mce between two dark
hOrses. and therefor© unique. At the
last minute Mr. W. A. P«>e concluded to
become a candidate, but be was timid
about it heesus* of the rumors of n dark
horse, and he could find no one who could
tell him who the horse waa. It developed
yesterday morning, however, that he waa
Mr. John D. Scott, and then the race
waa on. A* the finish at € o'clock It was
found that Mr. Poo had received 76 votes
nnd Mr. Scott 75. The pleasure of cast
ing the last vote, and which was for Mr.
Poe, was that of Mr. D. H. Venn, who
walked up Just In the nick of time
‘lower city district there was
three-cornered race between Messrs. A.
P, Jones, Richard F. McOowen and J. R.
Hurnett. All had their friends, but Mr.
MrCnjtren won out by a handsome ma
jority, the vote standing: McCowen, 70;
Jones' 41, and Burnett, 20.
In the East Macon district, aa waa

received every vote cast. 119. Imme
