J. H. Maxwell Held Up by
Highwayman.
While Mr. J. H. Maxwell was
returning from Sale City Tues¬
day night some one made an at¬
tempt to hold him up about four
miles east of Pelham. Mr. Max¬
well is agent for the Standard Oil
Company and was returning from
Sale City on his tank wagon. Just
as he crossed the brauch some dis¬
tance beyond the home of Mr.
W. F. Tucker a man, whom he
took to be a negro, stepped into
the road and made an effort to
stop his mules. One of the mules
reared, and they started to run
Mr. Maxwell laid whip to them,
and escaped without injury and
without the man succeeding in
his design.
Two shots were fired at Mr.
Maxwell, one while the highway¬
man was near the mules’ head,
and the other just as the wagon
dashed by. This i9 the third or
fourth time that some man has
been held up by highwaymen in
this section of the couuty. Mr.
Maxwell had a small amount of
money on his person, and his
friends are congratulating him
that he escaped without injury
and'wtBouFToilhg wTiat'Jnoney
he had on him.

The Mitchell County Lion
Killed Near Baconton.
The Mitchell county lion, which
has been creating a sensation in
the Northeastern part of this
county, and has been pursued by
hunters from all over the county,
was finally trapped Monday night,
and his carcass was being dis¬
played with great pride by the
citizens of Baconton yesterday.
The animal proved to be a very
large wolf. For several months
it has been causing depredations
in the county and has killed many
sheep. There has been much
speculation as to the nature of
the animal, but the concensus of
opinion had been that it was some
kind of lion.
A few nights ago it was seen by
Mr. Ross Bush at the home of his
father, Judge I. A. Bush, and at
various other times glimpses had
been caught of the creature. The
animal is said to be considerably
larger than an ordinary dog, and
is pronounced a wolf by those who
profess to know.

but had to be postponed. There
were beautiful readings from his
works and biographies—a meet¬
