LE ROYAN8 OWNED PLACE THAT FIGURED IN LEE'S 8URRENDER Mrs. Ellen Wilson, responsible for the delightful hospitality at the RobIn wood, and her daughter, Mrs. J. Spencer Carr, owned for several years the place at Burkesville, Va.. which was the headquarters of General IT. S. Grant when he wrote the first letter to General Robert E. Lee, suggesting that in the interests of humanity and to prevent the further sacrifice of life, the Army of Northern Virginia surrender. The 'surrender was completed at Appomattox a few "days later. Mrs. Wilson and her daughter operated the place as a resort hotel. The buildings were originally designed for college purposes, and apapted themselves admirably to military use. General Grant was in communication with President Lincoln while established at Burkesville and the headquarters of his army were maintained there for some time after Lee placed his sword ,in the hand of Grant. Mrs. Wilson says that the people of Virginia despite the fact that Grant was the victor, held him In high regard because of his magnanimous nttitude toward Lee and army under him at the time of the surrender.?Le Roy Gazette-News.

U Fisher's Alley Mobile's Dark Towo?celebrated tonight for the "Monster of Marmuite Street" was dead. j Negroes, who hail for the last several weeks dared not leave their homes after nightfall, ventured forth on the alley once again knowing that the monster had made his last raid upon Marmotto street. Hands blared forth as Negroes danced to the passing of the mysterious creature. The terror reigns of the "monster" was 'abruptly ended about t?:30 o'clock on Sunday morning by a shotgun blast as the animal waged a lloree but los 'lag battle with a Mobile llreinan and his collie dog. At last brought down by gunfire, the "monster" was identified as an | otter, an aquatic animal, welghlug 45 , pounds, and measuring four feet from the tip of Its tall to its head. |- The monster, Nvho began a series !of foraging expeditions In the northern part of the city several weeks ago, left his habitat in a nearby ' swamp * once tod often. Under the cover of a heavy early morning fog, the otter slithered through the gray | mist that all but obscured the first (light of day in the back yard of Charles Ardoyno, Mobile fireman. The "monster" was met by a ferocious attack of Ardoyno'a collie dog, guarding the pet rabbits and scattered ylaytb-icss oi young Charles- Ardoynn, Junior. A moment later Ardoyno was awak-1 ened by sounds of fierce conflict. I-et him tell the story: "I went Into the yard thinking tnat stray dogs had got into the yard and started a fight. As 1 came out on my ; back porch, 1 saw my dog knocked clear across the yard by the animal. I didn't know what the thing was but called for my wife to run get a shotgun while 1 went into the yard to help the dog. My wife thought 1 was kidding and paid no attention. "As 1 started Into the yard, the animal started after me. 1 stopped and told the dog 'Go get him.' The thing had already mauled the dog badly and had bitten a piece from his nose but the collie didn't stop a minute. He tore in between me and the otter. They battled furiously and again I called for the shotgun. "The fight started at 6:30 a. tn. and twenty minutes later Gene Sullivan, who lives down on the corner, got there with his gun and fired the fatal shot. The dog held the thing at bay "ail that time. I wouldn't take $1,000 for him. The dog gets all the credit. Ardoyno said the otter was as fierce, a fighter as he ever had seen. Shortly after the animal was killed, news spread by word of mouth that I the "monster" was captured. An hour I later 200 persons gathered at the Ari doyno home. An hour and a half la; ter traffic was blocked on the street jand motorcycle police and patrolmen I were gathering at the home. Visitors 'became so thick the callers were being charged admission, dime for the children and a quarter for adults. | Meanwhile, the game warden, A. Z. Oberhous, said he would seek a warrant charging Ardoyno with killing a I fur-bearing animal out of season.
