At uny ruto. Magistrate liroaduoil was surprised Thursday when two ue groes, Charley Cherry ana Jim Trey men, came to his office and stated that they desired to surrender and have (barges of gambling entered up against them. The uegrofs went on to say that they desired to plead guilty to the charges and receive sen tence. It took Magistrate Hroadwell but a short white to comply with their wishes, each being sentenced to pay a line of $20 or serve 30 days on th* gang. ( These two negroes were members i of a large gambling party which Dcp- j uty Sheriff Oliu Banders ??nd Consta- i hies Bill Drennan and Jim Williams surprised eurly Tuesday morning on the plantation or Mr. D.

The employers of the negroes evi dently knew this and realized that ?t would be but s ?hort while before the authorities would have tho negroe? under arrest, lt is thought that thc ftnployerp wade the negroes- come in ami surrender and pav their fines. Of the six negroes tried last Tues day afternoon before Magistrate Broad welt and convicted for particU rating in this rambling party, ali but ono. Mack Bickens, have been paid out of jail. NEW TERROR ON THE BATTLEFIELDS; Only Living Soul Left on Field of Dead Describes Night Spent Among Wolves, -'?L PETROGRAD. Jan. li- The pres lence of the wolf as a-new terror on the u?tiieuc-i?B of ?as? frussia and i I oland, is described in a letter sont hy a Russian officer to a Riga news-1 paper. Wounded in an engagement which hud driven the Germans from their trenches he round himself later to. be the only living soul lett on the field of dead. Pulling himself together, and leaning on his sword be walked as best he could toward the supposed shelter of bis comrades tn the woods. "Just as I reached the edge of the wood," he says, ''I stopped tn terror. From thc distance thero came the howling ot a wolf. It sounded unut terably melancholy. and dreadful In tho still autumn night. Another wolf answered, in the same long-drawn, dismal note. The howling drew near er; presently I beard lt all around j me, without pause, grc/wlng louder and more exultant every moment. "I am no coward. I am a sportsman and have killed many wolves In bunts, but What I heard that night I can never forget. The chaotls howling which enclosed me li!ie a chain kept coming closer and closer, drawing to the center of the circle where I was standing. "? raw clearly there was no chance of caving' myself when the circle had closed fully upon me. I went ruu^l^g -how I managed lt 1 dont know-to wards some bushes a hundred yards away. I reached them and dropped to the ground. I resolved to fight as long as 1 could. I had my loaded revolter and my sword. "The wolves came nearer, and their bowling filled the nigbt. Now they were at the border of the wood. In the darkness I could see dim sh?aow? moving slowly between thc trees. "As they esme ont ot the wood from different directions they drew togeth er Into one great dark nord and stood thus for ponte minutes. Then nnotber wolf howled- from somewhere out on the battlefield, and all at once the pack began to move. Without haste. Pu a little deliberate trot they went past me, past tb? very clump of bushes wher I was sitting with drawn revolver. Not one turned toward me. I watched each one ss he went by, expecting that be would spring at me. i don't know bow many the** were, but thers were very many-all trotting so quietly to the field where thc dead bodies were lying.
