STR1SGE INCIDENT REPORTED
IX NORTHERN GRANVILLE
The Public Ledger is informed by
a number of reliable people that Mr.
Tnhn Morton, son of Mr. Sam Mor-
, rprentlv went into the wooasi
on his place near Goshen and select
pi two fine trees which he desired
t0 convert into lumber.
The first tree was duly felled to
the ground by the lumbermen and
sawed into the proper lengths.
While these logs were being placed
upon the wagon, the other tree which
had been selected, and which stood
only a few yards to the right, leu
with its own accord, the long limbs
reaching the point where the work
men were engaged on the first tree.
It was said that both trees were
tall and straight and that at the time
of the incident scarcely a breath of
air was stirring when the tree keeled
over unassisted by the elements or
the agency of man.
Mr. Sam Usry said that he had
heard that the above story was true,

It is my understanding that it shall
be destroyed by pouring it out, upon
the grund. Then, if that be the law,
will the officers or officer, whose du
ty it is to destroy such liquor seized
by them, plainly tell the public that
tney actually destroy every drop of
liquor that they sieze, according to
law? It is a shame and a disgrace to
our officers, the rumors (I suppose
them rumors), that are afloat over
this county attd city, as to what dis
position is being made of the block
ade liquor that is being seized.
Now I do not think that 'I am ask
ing an unfair question of the officers.
If so, just say so through the coulms
of the Public Ledger, that it is none
of the public's business what is done
with the liquor.

ANXIOUS INQUIRY
The following, which has been pre
viously, published in the Public Led
ger, is the law in regard to liquoi
seized at distilleries:
"It is the duty of the sheriff of
each county in the State and of the
police of each incorporated town or
city in the State to search for and
by Coroner R. M. Troxler, who
has it in his possession. ;
Many people have been undei
the impression that Ray was
killed by machine gun firej
which is a mistake as shown by, .
the bullet taken from -Sie body

Company Did Its Duty. ,
Governor Bickett and the adjutant-general
have declared that Cap
tain M.B. Fowler, of the Durham
machine gun company, did only tii
duty when he fired on the Alamance
mob storming the jail at the time
James Ray was killed. The gover
nor had given orders, to the troops to
shoot straight if necessary, and the
adjutant-general has made a com
plete investigation of the affair and
is prepared to exonerate Captain
Fowler and his entire troop.
The state office, s point out that
the Alamance citizens claim that
there was no justification for the
shooting, but the adjutant-general
finds that before the machine g au
company opened fire there had been
several shots fired at the soldiers,
and the fire of the soldiers when Ray
was killed, likely saved a mob from
being formed and many more people
killed.
It is further stated that the sheriff
of Alamance stated that the troops
