that the fire was started by careless

RESORT KEEPERS INDICTED.
True Bills Found Against Barbee &
Bandy for Liquor Selling.

At a meeting of the grand jury of the
Superior Court yesterday afternoon, by
special presentments Of the jury, true bills
were found against \. NJ. Barbee and
Joseph H. Bandy, who are charged with
selling alcoholic and malt liquors at Isle
of Hope, within a radius of three miles of
public country school
Messrs. Barbee & Bandy are the propri-
etors Of the restaurant at the Isle Of
Hope, and their place is the headquarters
OF the Is-e of Hope Pleasure club, by
which, il is claimed the drinks are dis,
pensed. This will be their defense when
the case comes to trial. The solicitor gen
eral believes that club has no more legal
right 10 engage in the liquor business with
in the limits prohibited by law than an
Individual, and 1t is contended that the de-
PENDANTS have violated this law material
ly and essentially.
A number Of well known young men
appeared before the grand jury
though they did not know for what rea-
son they had been summoned until they
were called into the jury room and asked
to tell what they knew about the sale
of liquor al Isle of Hope They had been
summoned TO appear in various imaginary
cases, the defendants wherein had been
charged with burglary larceny and other
IKE crimes Nothing had DteH SAD ABOUT
selling liquor within three mics of a coun-
cry school and nothing was said until the
cases were called.
Though the witnesse were thus surpris-
Ell, it is surmised that they recovered
sufficiently to give their evidence, as the
true bills were found.
The grand jury also found indictments
against Z. A. Brack, on charges of carry
ing concealed weapons pointing a pistol
at another and assault and battery. The
original indictments found some time ago
against Brack had his name spelled in
correctly and the change was made in
order to avoid the plea of a misnomer in
his behalf.
The grand jury found a true bill upon
the indictment against Joe jenkins, color
ed, who is charged with breaking and en-
teriug a car of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway, with the intent to
commit a larceny therein
After the session of the grand jury yes
terday, it was DISCHARGED by the court I'M
til Oct 30 unless i'm the meantime occas-
ion demands its presence and action, when
it will be summoned to appear.
