JONES DENIES SHORTAGE.
The Ex-Sheriff Claims That 1h
County Owes Him Money.

The Ex-Sheliff Claims That The
County Owes Him Money.
The answer was yesterday filed III the
case of Wake county against Ex-Sherilf
Hamilton T. Jones and his surety, the
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Mary
land.
In this answer the defendants allege
that he has paid. $500 I'M addition to the
amount with which he is credited in the
statement Of settlement. Therefore he
denies that they owe the sum of S4,IlS
to the county as claimed, and declares
that if proper credits We're given he
would owe nothing ut all.
And for further defense the defen-
dants allege:
l. That they are advised and believe
that upon fair and just and lawful ac-
counting with Sheriff Jones he would not
owe anything ON account OF said taxes
or other account: that the commissioners
enormously and recklessly and unlawful
~ refused to credit Jones with insol-
vents, sales for taxes, costs and other
sums which would have fully balanced
the amount claimed against him, and
that hence he owes the county nothing Oh
account Of taxes.
2 That the defendants are informed
and believe that upon a just settlement
with Jones, the county Of Wake owes
him several hundred dollars on account
of taxes and commissions.
An answer is filed also by Mr.. Jones
in the suit for $4,000 damages for false
arrest brought against him by A. I. Flu
quay.
1t is denied in this answer that any
arrest was made or attempted to be
made, or that Fuquay suffered any bodily
harm or Inconvenience or loss because of
any arrest made by Sheriff Jones or any
deputy or agent of his.
Wherefore he demands that the plain

An important purchase of railroad
and large lumber interests has been
made by Mr.. j. G. Angler. general man
ager of the Cape Fear and Northern
Railway Company and manager of the
Cary Lumber Company.
Mr.. j. G. Angler and his attorney,
Mr.. H. +. Norris, arrived in the city
yesterday evening from Dunn, Harnett
county, where they have been for the
past few days closing a trade recently
made with Mr.. H. NJ. Hall, of that place
for his railroad. This road extends from
the Atlantic Coast Lime Railroad at
Dunn. four miles west into the pine
forest. Also the sale includes his loco
motive and other rolling stock.
Mr.. Angler likewise has purchased
from Mr.. Hall for the Cary Lumber
Company. his saw mills and lumber
plant operated lat and near Dunn.
In connection with this same trade
Mr.. Angler has bought from Taylor "
Slocum. of Fayetteville, their fine body
of 1,50O acres of pine timber. situated
in Grove Township HarSett county,
near the terminus of the Hall Railroad.
This timber is said to be the finest anu
largest to be found in any one lot in this
section of the State.
All these purchases cost Mr.. Angler
something over $4,000 cash.
While Mr.. Angler declines to be in
terviewed as to the policy of his COM
panies. yet it is apparent from this in
vestment and others recently made by
him in other sections Of Harnett coun-
ty and in Wake county, that he has
good business foresight for his companies
and that they will certainly reap good
results from the same.
The Lincoln Journal says it is In po-
sition to say with almost absolute Ger
lainty that the new owners of the Mar
row Gauge are General X. +. Hoke and
his associates. and that it will become
a standard gauge railroad and a part
of the great Seaboard Air Line system.
The road will be extended as fast as
money can build it to Tennessee, via
Cranberry. 1t is understood that the
new owners either have already acquir-
ed or have options on the lumber road
from Isenoir No Wilson's creek. From
this point to Pinola, which is the pres
ent terminus of the road from Johnston
City. Tenn. via Cranberry, there is a
gap of only a few miles.
