WAS 1T SET ON FIRE?

is in Jail on Peace Warrant.
mes Massenburg, negro from St
Matt news township, was arrested III the
city market hoUss yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff Walters arrested him
Deputy Daniel Kelly, of St. Matthew's,
wrote to Sheriff Page, asking him to
arrest Massenburg, as he (Kelly) had two
warrants for him, one of them beng a
pace warrant.
And so Massenburg is in the county
IL.
The warrants will probably arrive to-
day, and the trial will be held before a
Raleigh magistrate.
Behind this peace warrant there is an
unusual story.
The trouble is said to have begun a
year or more ago.
Massenberg rents the Young place, in
st, Matthew's township. Last Sunday
night a Clubhouse on the plantation was
burned. 1t seems that Mas S ,nbur5's
two sons has just made their beds in
the gin house, and had gone to the
dwelling to supper when the Clubhouse
was found in flames.
Many of the people in the neighbor
hood were at the fire, and they say that
Massenberg drew shot gun on negro
named Rogers while the building was
burning. Massenburg told Rogers
to swear that he heard two
white men, John Markham and
Wiley P. O'Neill, made a bargain tc
burn him (Massenburg) out Rogers said
he wouldn't swear any such thing, for il
would be lie. Then it was that Mas
senburg threatened to shoot him.
1t is reported that he asked another
negro boy if these two white men had
not conspired to burn the Clubhouse.
So the trial to day may develop some
things in st. Matthew's.

attracting settlers and capital. To the
position for the most part were appoint

the supreme court of the United States
in Lewis vs. Pima county, and declares
the act unconstitutional and void, that
the counties can only appropriate funds
for the actual running expenses and that
the legislature can not compel them by
act to do otherwise. This will not only
