THE SUPERVISORS OF THE TOWN
OF PRINCETON SUSTAINED.
Mocauley Fails TO Come to Time and His
Father Pays the Fine-No Indiot-
ments Proceedings in Detail.
District court convened Tuesday fore
moon, Judge McKelvy presiding with his
wonted ease and dignity. Twenty one
grand jurors responded to their names
when the roll was called; the Judges
charge was short and pithy, and yet
he infinitely instructed them as to what
their duties were. The grand jury re-
NAMED in session until Thursday morn
ing and were discharged without find
ing an Indictment or evening making
presentment-and be it remembered four
fifths of both the grand and petit Jurors
were farmers There were only two jury
TRIALS, that of Orr VS.. Sadley, and the
road appeal cases of M. V. B. Cater and
John w. Cater which were consolidated
and tried together; in the former case the
plaintiff claimed in the neighborhood of
$500 for services rendered, the jury
awarded him $780, in the latter case the
decision Of the supervisors of the town
of Princeton was more than sustained,
thus proving that the town officers under
stand their business and know how to Law
out road legally. In the tax cases Of
Cater and son, the Judge made very i'm
portant ruling, overruling serious tech
nieal objection and ordering Judgment
to be entered against the lands. But We
will explain this tax decision more fully
next week. Acommittee of lawyers COM
posed of Messrs. j. A. Ross, III. f. Barker
and j. L. Brady were appointed to exam
inc Mr.. Byron F. Scott and find out what
he knew about law; the committee re-
ported favorably and he was admitted to
the bar. After all the "blowing'' that
was done, Charles McCauley acknowl-
edged that he was guilty of the charge of
riotous and disorderly conduct preferred
against him; no other construction can
be placed upon his action; we hope this
is the last of that unfortunate affair.
Clerk Galley and deputy clerk Keith,
sheriff Howard and deputies Harmon and
Crockett, and county-attorney Barker
were in constant attendance and perform
