SIMS CASE POSTPONED.
Sickness of His Attorney Prevented
the Hearing Taking Place.

sickness of His Attorney Prevented
the Hearing Taking Place.
The case of Felix R. Sims, the Liberty
county preacher, who is charged with US
ing the mails for fraudulent purposes, It
being claimed that he endeavored to Sc
cure money from certain fourth-class
postmasters under false pretenses through
the postofiice department, was not heard
before the United States commissioner
yesterday.
The case was assigned for a hearing in
the afternoon, but owing to the fact that
Mr. w. w. Fraser, who is Sims attor-
ney was very sick, and that his presence
in the case was desired, the hearing was
postponed until some day next week. when
Mr. Fraser will be able to attend All of
the witnesses were present, however, and
it appears that the postmasters who were
approached by Sims desire to prosecute
the case to the end. The turn the case
may take seems to be a matter of consid-
cradle interest among the republican poll
ticians in this section, especially the col
ored element, which is watching the mat
ter closely.
