A Rat-SparrCw-Afro. American Story Front Statesvllle A Lnely Combat, Special to The Observer, -V - Statesvlllei Nov.-. 8. A iarge rat,, a bunch of saprrows and a 'negro man furnished amusement for- the' police and street loafers( and passers-by yes terday, morning. ' .The' rat made Its appearance in the street in front, oi The Statesvllle Drug Company's store and when first notice J by the bunch of men on the sidewalk, was having a lively time? with the English spar rows, which are d'.waya plentiful ' in the streets, .. When a sparrow would light on the ground the rat. would rmake a dive for him. and then that sparrow and" others . would fly all around over the hsaa of the rat and peck at him.: i The rat was of unusual size and when a negro marr interfered ift the battle between it anj the birds the rat turned o him and chased him into the Brawley. Set Cox restaurant. The man yan as though he was chas ed by a bull dog. Finally the rat found that'he could not fly and that birds t would - not allow t him , to, ap proach them on' the ground, and he galloped p down the alley to the Ire dell Livery Company's stables. : , .3. It is not unusual for rata to catch and eat ryoung , birds and chickens. This one, however, was very bold and aecmed to have no fear for the men and horses arid buggies on fte streets. The English . sparrow Is probably a greater pest than the -rat and its a pity ' that this rat can't hit on . a scheme by which to -catch birds' for food, He probably gets them from the roosts. , . v ADULTERATED COFFEE.
