Chicken Owner Sue* Man Who
Looted Wild Foxes
Shelby, Jan. 30.—Can a man be
made tu pay fur the damages earn
ed by wild fo*e« turned loose by him ?
Or can it be proven that a numher of
Brer foxes running wild killed cer
tain chickens?
The two question* should cause
wme debate among the hunters of
the county, and will also cause some
discussion in court, as a suit based
around the two questions has been
MM.
Tuesday Horace Kennedy, acting
us attorney for W. H. Warlick, of
No. 10 township, filed a complaint
with Recorder John P. Mull, alleging
that five or sis foxes were turned
1 loose by O. V. Warlick of No. 9
township, and that since that time
200 chickens belonging to the plain
tiff have been killed; that K la the
information the plaintiff has that the
foxes were responsible for the missing
rhirkeo*, and In view thereof dam
nges to the extent of $200 are asked,
one dollar for each missing chicken.
It i* the most unique suit ever
to face Recorder Mull, he says. The
•otution, he adds, from a survey of
the complaint, will require all the
wixdom of a Solomon and then some.
There Is nothing to cut Into. The
foxes, unless there are seme mighty
good dogs in the county, cannot be
brought Into court to testify, and the
chickens are now nlL
The plaintiff claim* that he is in
formed, believes and avers that the
disappearance of the chickens was
brought about by the foxes, and fur
ther adda that the defendant knew,
or should have known, that the foxes

U*a William R. Wood, of Indiana,
rhalrman at tto lapaklicaR Congna

raaantativaa Drana and Reara, Denae

Tto RepuMlcaaa ara baaing ttoir
hopaa of aucceaa in Florida oa tto
influx of Northern voter* who have
poured into Florida during tto real
aatato boom of tto laat few year*.
There are no indication* that tto
Republican* expect to aerioaaly con
taat for Florida Senatorial honor*,
although Sen. Duncan M. Fletcher
rome* up for re-election thia year.
Mostly Dtawnla
Democratic leaders b«re declared
that there *u no reason to^ike Mr
iounly the threat of Mr. 1U, and
expressed the belief that Florida
would return a solid Democratic dele
gation In the election* next fall. They
Insist that while many Northern Re
publicans have settled In Florida, that
the irttt majority of the newcomers
there are Democrats, many of whom
have moved Into Florida from adjoin
ing Southern state*.
Another factor which would enter
into the matter la the question of
legal residence of many who have
mqved to the boom State. While a
large number of persons have defi
nitely and permanently settled in
Florida within the last few years the
greatest increase has been in the
floating population made up of tour
ists and speculators who arv merely
visiting Florida for the climate or
the present opportunity to make
quick money.
Representative William J. Rear*,
who i* one of the Democratic Con
gressmen Mr. Wood hopes to defeat,
is well known in Raleijfh. He mar
ried Mia* Daisy Watson, of Raleigh,
in 1901.
Both he and Drane have served in
Congress for several term*. Sears
was first elected, to the Sixty-Fourth
Congress, while Drane betran hi* ser
vice in the Sixty-Fifth Congress.

Mr. Wood hopes to bring into the
Republican ramp ar* the Southern
and coastal district* which have been
.the center* of the rapid develop
ment of tropical resort* and real es
tate development.
Mr. Drane repre*ent* the rapidly
growing west coast, and Mr. Sear*
the eaat roast of Florida.
Mr. Wood had nothing to say about
Republican poaaibilitiea in the second
and third districts In northern Flori
da, whirh have retained the integrity
of old Florida population.
The suggestion wa* made today by
Democrat* that Mr. WootV* threat to
break the "solid South" Ja tMfe Con
gre**ional elections wa* *' *a*e of
whistling in Florida to keep hi*
courage up in Iowa, where the corn
