| The July term Of the County Court con
vened on Tuesday Of this week and will
be in session for some days longer. This
| was a regular grand jury term. ana see
| raj indictments were fOund-onc against
| j. n. Laws for assauh, with intent 10
| kill upon one NJ. 4. Royston. Both Laws
! and Royston are prominent citizens OF
Wildwood. and the case, which will come
| up for trial on Tuesday, July llth, has
| excited considerable interest because of
| the prominence Of the parties. The In
| dictment grows out Of an alteration be-
tween the parties over a lot OF land,
| which eliminated in i.awss striking Roy
ston over the head with a hoe and cut
| ting him severely. An indictment was
! also found against George Marpoe, a
young white man Of Castlemans Ferry,
for shooting George c. Ricamore, Town
Sergeant of Berryville with intent TO kill.
Five shots We're fired at MI Ricamore,
who narrowly escaped with his life. The
case has been set for trial at the August
term.
There is some talk of building a trolley
line from Winchester to Berryville. There
is hardly any doubt but that such an

be built as far as Berryyille it would re-
quire an extension Of only about sixteen
miles 10 connect with the Southern rail-
road at Round Hill, thus giving a direct
line TO Washington.
