Sherifalty Contest Case Again Post
poned

Sheriffalty Contest Case Again Post
poned.
The contested election case of ex-
Sheriff Boyer against de facto Sheriff
league has again been postponed,
Judge Phillips on Monday granting
the application of the defendant for
a continuance.
A SENTINEL reporter learned from
Mr.. I'll. r. Starbuck, of counsel for
league, that the reason his client
asked for a continuance was on the
ground that the plaintiff having Ia
ken dispositions on the 9th and 18th
of May in Leaksville and Reidsville
(under the new law, both being with
in rs miles of Winston) that the de-
fendant would not have time to serve
legal notice should he desire to take
counter-depositions.
In conversation with Mr. Boyer he
| informed US that he wanted a speedy
trial of the case; that he was salts
fed that he had a good case and
would win when it came to trial, and
that he was disappointed that it
should not be tried at this term. Mr..
Boyer says the postpenement looks
bad for Mr.. league, but that he can
afford it if league can.
The case will be disposed of at the
October term, when Judge Gilmer
will preside.
