Young Laxton Bitten Tenor of a Mai Cog In this county Monday morning in Boomer township the terror of a mad dog began at the biting of the young son of Mr. Millard Sparks. The boy is about 12 years of age. Mr. Sparks lives near Mount Carniel, west of lioomer, on the road towards Kings Creek and Caldwell county. At first it was hardly thought to be necessary to send the dog's head to Raleigh for analysis. But after coming to North Wilkesboro and consulting friends here anil being advised to at least send the dog's head, it not being possitively known to be mad; and after consulting further with neigh bors perhaps, the young son also was sent to Raleigh accompanied by Mr. Robt. Pearson of Moravian Falls. They left on the early train Tuesday morning taking the dog's head with them. No doubt the hours increas ingly urged his parents who were un willing to take the risk of waiting, at this distance of 250 miles from treat ment, even on the analysis. The Caldwell News says that a mad dog passed through the Kings Creek section on last week and bit several hogs belonging to Mr. Levi Laxton, and several fine dogs in the commu nity.

Car ter, charged with irregular banking methods during the time that he was president of the American National Bank of this city, upon the grounds that members of the grand jury who returned the bill against him had not paid their taxes. Following the announcement of Judge Boyd, a motion was mado to quash the indictment returned at Greensboro on the grounds that the members of the grand jury considered incompetent evidence. That motion too, was denied. Tomorrow morning a third motion to quash will be introduced on the ground that the evidence on the fact of the bill does not justify an indict ment.
