     The FBI continues to investigate an anthrax scare in Cleveland.

     It happened Wednesday afternoon.
     Deputies say a letter addressed to the Bradley County Circuit Court's Office had white power in it, but a mobile testing unit from Knoxville determined it was just talcum powder.
     The county mayor says everything is back to normal Thursday, and no one is sick.

     Mayor Gary Davis, says, "The employees that were right around there when it was opened, and the ones that actually opened it, were put through a tough time, waiting, and not knowing. Thank goodness it turned out that it wasn't real.  It was a hoax, which is a bad thing, but it's better than if it had been real."

     The mayor says investigators relayed to him they know where the letter was sent from, but they are not releasing that information to the public.
