C, near the North Carolina line, and about sixty miles tfutlf of Asheville, has been in the throes Of an immense sensation which was ex- . osed day ibe!ore yesterday. " For several days the community has teen in a stir over the strange and myste rious doings at the house of Lawyer C. J. Cunt, in West End. In the past two weeks tvery night, witih only two exceptions, the bouse has been the scene of peculiar e Tents. "Windows, rattled, bricks and 'rocks iew against the house from unknown Aands. For a -week friends of Mr. Hunt fcave heen staying with him at night try ing to solve t"he mystery, but in vain. Hunt Is a brother Of M. C. Hunt, for whose murder Grady Reynolds and Bud Brooks were hanged. It is said that on the acaffold the condemned men asked to ahake liAuds -with the brothers of fche men they killed, but C. J. Hunt refused. Su perstitious folks have said the spirits of the dead murderers had returned to haunt Hunt, and '"Hunt's toaunt" has been the talk of the town. The house nas been securely guarded several nights, but until Tuesday night the ghosti-y visitor was unknown. It was de termined to solve the mystery and the bouse was surrounded, by the chief of po lice, sergeant, deputy sheriff and others. The watchers took their places in conve sdent places, tiwo or three together. When fine clock struck ten half cf I'hem -went to the house, saying to the inmates nothing &Kut any more 'being outside. J The rocks 'had been thrown at the back piazza, which is latticed m and is in -the' shadow of the electric lights. It .was no ticed that no rocks were thrown unless Moses Seymour, a young ibrother of Mrs. Hunt, -went into the piazza alone. , The supposition was that some one ' had a grudge against Seymour. Others went out without any rocks being throwin, and last night Seymour was pursuaded to go out ' again. He did so and in a few minutea a rock' struck the lattice. The party inside rushed out the. front door, all except one, &o rushed out the back, and found only Seymour. The performance ' was several times repeated 'With slight variations. A few, feet from the door the police ehief and deputy sheriff were concealed unknown to Seymour, and these two saw the young port come out and1 himself throw the rocks. - The guards left about midnight and Sey--vnour was arrested. He partially confessed and was later released on bond. His mo tive was to cause Hunt to move his place " of abode, so he says. Mr. Hunt has been out of town for several days, but-has re : turned. The affair hag aroused the greatest interest and notlhing else is talked of to day. There is a belief that the bottom has not yet beem reached and further revela tions may be made. The whole thing has been very peculiar amd many minds are yet puzzled. But; the ghost theory 4s dissi pated. Just try a box of Oascarets, the finest liver and bowel regulator ever made.
