The Macon county branch Circuit Four!
which convene* at las Plata Monday,
lus two of alKMit as odd case* on lh
docket as ever find their way to a Jury
John Hunch, an old pioneer citizens of
the county. Is suing the town of la*
Plata for SIO,OOO damtge* teaulilng from
nu attack of bumblebee.' while the p ain
• Iff was In the town calaboose The lnc|-
lent occurred during the fair last Au
gust. Bunch was arrested for some tri
fling offense and taken to the town lock
ip by the marshal. The little frame
building that doea duty tor a Jail Is an
.iut-of-the-way pur! of the town. Hunch
had the honor of tiring thr first and only
involuntary Inmat** during the day. Th*
’e-ea were there of their own accord, and
hcy soon struck up a much warmer ss-
Hodatton with tb prisoner than their
brief acquaintance would warrant Bunch
bad nothing hut his hands with which
to defend hlms.-lf He shouted lustily for
help, and while his mouth was open sev
eral of Ihe tiers darted In and stung his
longue and throat so Ntdly that for sev
eral hours It was a question whether the
ioctara eftuld keep ita vtipkaliri dtpHM
open. Hunch alleges he was for* e*| to en
dure the tnrfure eight hours before he
was rescued, ni.d that he Is permanently
Injured and disfigured by reason of the
vidous attacks of th** bumblebees. It Is
understood the city Is ready to meet the
Issues, and will claim non-Ilabhlty o*i sev
eral grounds
Another cai-e unique In Its way Is that
of J W. Wottard against Philip Atterber
ry. The scene where the action originat
ed was In Atterberry’s posture near At
lanta lie found rooting there a large,
finely bred sow belonging to Mr. VVollarl.
and undertook to drive her out. The |ork
er started after Atterberry and ran him
out of the field The army of Invaaion wa*
then reinforced by Atterberry’a son and
his farm hand. The aow forced the boy
to climb a tree to save himself, oral
I lien charged Atterberry and his assistant
The latter fell and the sow pounced upon
him. Attcrbsrry then ran to the house
got a gun. and as the sow was making
for him shot her between the eyes. That
ended the buttle, and Wollard sued for
the value of his porker, getting the full
• mount asked, the Jury holding that Al
terherry could not plead self-defense in
shooting the hog as long as there were
trees In the pasture for him to climb an l
jet out of langer. He was Indignant at
the verdict, and took his grievance to the
Circuit Court. •
