The dummy was in a ditrh and re sembled a passed-oul drunk. Deputy Sheriff Gene Howell brought the "drunk" to the eourt house and propped him up against an old refrigerator. Duekett looked at the straw tilled elothes, and re marked, "lie sure looks drunk: and smells drunk too," the empty flask atop the refrigerator, taken trom a prisoner, supplied the alcoholic smell. (Mountaineer I'hoto). Straw - Filled Dummy Is Cause Of Some Excitement hikI John Sevier. "Forever This Land" is a chronicle play based on the life of Lincoln in his forma tive years. What the nature of a play at lunaluska might be was unknown; however, it presumably would "have a religious motif. The religious theme is also apparent in Hunter's historical mountain dramas. The National Geographic Society estimates that Berlin was 40 per ent destroyed during World War II. The Ratcllffe Cove dummy, which caused such a fright to many people, has "been released" from custody of the sheriff's de partment. and is back home. It all happened the other night when motorists along the Katcliffe Cove road saw what appeared to be a man sprawled out in the high way ditch, Officers were called, and Depute Sheriff Gene Howell went to the scene, and brought in the disturbing cause to the court house a straw stuffed dummy. Enroute to the court house, he called for assistance to help un Hazelwood Presbyterian Ha?

Occasions ly he goes to town for staple groceries which he stores in a hollow tree. load the fighting "drunk." Several people in the sheriff's office heard the call, and gathered at the back to see what they ex pected would be a tussle between the officers and the drunk. When Deputy Howell arrived at the court house, he reached in, grabbed the "drunk" around the neck and started dragging him towards the garage and elevator, i Some spectators were horrified, because thev knew the officers never handled a drunk in such a manner. Then Howell went on up the stairs brushing his hands Some spectators wanted to know where the drunk was, and Howell replied: "Oh that fellow is really stuffed: I left him in the garage, propped up against an old refrig erator?he'll be O K " One by one the spectators slipped off to go see the "drunk " Upon finding it was a dummy, they went back quietly, but did not say a word to others. The "drunk" remained propped up for a day or so, and then on Sunday Sheriff Campbell noticed several boys drive by several times looking in the garage at the dummy. He called them and asked if they wanted their clothes back. They admitted they had stuffed the clothes just for fun, not real izing that an officer would be call ed to arrest the dummy. One of | the group bore scratches and bruises where he fell over a log in escaping from the scene when the Deputy arrived to pick up the "drunk." The originators of the plan have their clothes back, and those who *aw the dummy admit the Job was I a good invitation.
