. - I -- i 1 . 1 . A. ...y I .am' y Cuu-ht I ,o,w" Animal I.ki-lie is mi M-Wincn of Ills .Near ClUuuu')' 11. Ml . wc',1 identified and undeniable j hog, of comparatively huge onions and a distinctive dark aoj hue, Is, temporarily at least, property of Mr. F. A. Hicks, who s a tin shop on West Trade street. I s came unheralded, but oy no r tans unappreciated or unwelcomed. On the contrary a favored spot on the pavement In front of the shop was immediately placed at his dis posal and hundreds of Charlotte pedestrians peered through the bar of His cage at the widely known but rarely seen . weather prophet. Neither an unbecoming degree of self-importance nor a noticeable handicap of self-consciousness be trayed itself In his demeanor to ward the visitors. . A young man -who parried not to reveal his name shuffled Into the Hkkt shop yesterday afternoon, a trifle the worse for rum, bearing in his arms the hog. He craved per mission to leave the animal there a space. - '''K 'r'; -I may come after It to-morrow,' iuoth the stranger. "But If I don't it'll be all right., The hog la yours.' Mr. Hicka accepted his task of guardianship and ; took his non communicative ward 40 his heart at once, .;: . The 'young man stated that the animal was caught" near Chimney, Rock. "The consensu of opinion among the neighbors," it is averred, "is that the denizen of regions sub terranean will weigh from 12 to IS pounds, and Is a very large specimen. -The ground hog Is an animal up on whom the gaze of man falls but rarely. His color is not easily de scribed, but may be likened to that of the "possum just before he turns gray. This hog will be on exhibition till 9 to-day. - HE COULD PAY THE USE. Young w Man Tells Recorder Smith That He Could Par a $10 Hue For He Was Worth $20,000, The young man whom The Observer mentioned yesterday as having been gathered up beastly drunk on the street Monday night and carried In the patrol wagon to the police station proved to be Mr. Robert Ramseur, a well known young man of Llncolnton. He pleaded guilty to the charge vf being drunk in the . recorder's court yesterday, morning and was fined $10 and. costs, . in reply to Recorder Smith s query as to whether or not he was able to pay the small fine, Mfr. Ramseur answered that he could for he was worth $20,000. His reply almost made the court gasp for It came like a bolt out of the blue. Ramseur, while well dressed, showed the effects of his night's debauch. He paid the ; fine without a word and left. FIRST BALE OP NEW COTTOX.
