The Marshal Under Bonds.

Martinsvile James Singleton,
town marshal, has been placed under
bends for assault and battery, and also
in peace surety proceedings. n. A.
Whitaker is complainant in both
cases. During the past two years Mr..
Singleton has been defendant in
number of cases, both civil and GRIM
inal These ranged from damage suits
to charges against his official conduct
before the city council, and from at
terry. Recently there was suit brought
for $500 damages, growing out OF the
service of a process. Mr.. Whitaker
was attorney against Singleton in sew
eral of these cases. Last evening Mr..
Whitaker was approached from the
rear by Marshal Singleton, who told
him that he had ''lawed" him through
thirty-five cases in court, and as he
(SingletOn) could not stop him in any
other way, he was going TO do it physi-
cally. Mr.. Whitaker prepared for the
assault, and during the short scrim-
mage received a blow on the fore
head. The marshal threatened him
and abused him rOundly but Mr..
Whitaker kept his temper, and after
ward caused his arrest on a peace
warrant. Before this was filed, how
ever, the marshal reported himself un-
der arrest before one of the 'squires.
