CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS.
The County Court of Dinwidde was
in session all day yesterday hearing
argument i'll the condemnation cases
of the Richmond, Petersburg and Caro-
lima railroad Company VS.. e. G. Powell
and A. A. Hardy The commissioners
awarded e. c. Powell $4,000 and A. A.
Hardy $500. Mr.. w. II. McKenney,
counsel for the Richmond. Petersburg
and Carolina Railroad Company, moved
the court not to confirm the reports
of the commissioners in these two cases
and also to dismiss the whole proceed
ings. This was strenuOusly objected to
by Mr.. w. B. McIlwaine. counsel for
DIR. Powell and Mr.. Hardy. The mo-
ton of the railroad company was al
lowed on the following grounds:
First-That the railroad company de-
sired to abandon the route and acquire
another through the lands Of these
parties.
Second-Because the railroad COM
pany could not give assurances as to
lengths OF trestles and fills.
Third-13ecausc the commissioners
who acted were not disinterested free
holders.
Fourth-Because the damages were
excessive.
Next Friday. May 26th, was fixed for
nearing argument as to appointing q
ieW commission TO condemn the new
route proposed to be taken by the rail-
road company.
RULE ISSUED FOR CONTEMPT.
On last Wednesday Mary +. Snead,
n colored woman at La Crosse, Neck
lenburg county Swore out warrants for
the arrest of some of the employees of
the contractors of the Richmond, Pc
tersburg and Carolina Railroad Com
pany at that point. 1t seems that Mr..
VIM. r. McKenney. counsel for said
railroad company, obtained in Decem-
Der. 1897, an injunction enjoining and
restraining all persons from interfer-
ing with the construction OF said rail-
road in Mecklenburg.
Mr.. McKenney, assisted by Mr.. r.
III. Mann. Jr., of this city, on yester-
day obtained from Judge Hundley, of
the Circuit Court of Meclslenburg coun-
ty. rule to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt
in disregarding said injunction. r.
L. ThorD and G. II. Baskerville, coun-
sci for Mary f. Snead, r. J. Mont
gomery, the Justice who issued the
warrant; j. S. Montgomery. Jr., the
constable who executed the warrant,
and Mary f. Snead, who swore out the
warrant. 1t Is thought that this act
of Judge Hundley in preserving and
protecting the dignity of his court, will
put an end to interference with those
who are engaged in the construction of
the Richmond. Petersburg and Caro-
lima railroad in MecklenburE and else
where.

They HAD A LIVELY TIME
Exciting Experiences of Two Men
After Funeral.
BROKEN BONES THE RESULT
Daniel Crosson and W. A. Brady Took
Too Much Liquor and Were I'm
able to Control the Horse
They Were Driving

Daniel Crosson and w. A. Brady, two
last evening as the wind-up of a jolli-
fication after going to funeral One
has both legs broken and the other
fractured skull and broken nose, caused
by their being thrown out of a buggy
attached to runaway horse.
Crosson and Brady laid off work yes
>terday afternoon to go to funeral
They hired rig from Knotwell & Low
rey's stable and drove in the procession
to the cemetery. After the funeral
ceremonies We're over they concluded
to go for drive to the Nine Mile house.
There they INDUCED in more liquid hi
larity than was commensurate with the
skillful management of a skittish horse,
and the result was not an unusual ons.
The pair started for town about G
O'Clock and had reached the Five Mile
house when Crosson, who was driving,
lost control of the horse and he ran
away. Plunging viciously from one side
of the road to the other, the frightened
animal finally brought the vehicle into
collision with a telephone pole. Both
men We're thrown against the pole with
terrible violence. Some time later a
traveller on the road came upon the men
lying on the ground, more dead than
alive. They were loaded into wagon
and brought to ST. James hospital,
where DR.. Alexander. who was called
to attend them, found Crosson had suf-
fered compound commnuted frac-
tufe or the bones of one leg and a single
fracture of one bone of the other. while
Brady had fracture of the frontal
pone of the skull, broken nose and a
iaceration three inches long over one
eye. Brady was not so seriously hurt
as to require him to remain at the hos
p1tal but Crosson will occupy the frac-
ture bed for long time to come.

CLARAM ORRlSBOUN
COULD NOT CONVINCE THE COURT
SHE Is INNOCENT.
Warrant Issued for the Arrest of Fred
Boyson for Assaulting S. G. Arnold.
Alleged Grand Larceny Thieves.

Clara Morris, Pearl Rivers and Bessie
cused of stealing everything that was
portable from a room at the Will house,
had their preliminary hearing on a
charge of burglary before Justice Mich
OILS yesterday. The evidence against
the Lindsay and Rivers women was in
sufficient to warrant holding them and
they We're discharged, but the Morris
woman was unable to convince the
court of her innocence, though she told
what she evidently thought was pref
,ty straight story and tried to lay the
theft to a notorious secretary. Judge
Nichols held her for trial and ordered
her committed, as she could furnish no
bonds
Shortly after the Rivers woman was
released, Judge Nichols issued a war;
rant for her rearrest, charging her with
petit larceny for the theft of a lamp
which was also missing from the VIII
house.
Judge Nichols issued warrant late
last evening for the arrest of Fred Boy
son, charging him with second degree
assault for his vicious attack on s. G.
Arnold with a billy Saturday at Munt-
Zer's brewery. Boyson was originally
arrested without warrant and by
some means secured his release. 1t is
said that Arnold, who is still pretty
badly off, was approached by Boyson
yesterday and offered 500 if he would
not prosecute. Arnold reported the fact
to the authorities, who became sus-
picious that Boyson intended skipping
out, and caused the warrant to be is
sued. Boyson was arrested by Acting
Sergeant of Police Tom Walsh last
night and taken to the county jail.
Deputy Sheriff Evans returned yes
terday from Billings with Arthur
Spaulding, Frank Mccarthy and man
named Fisher, the hree'tyoung men
accused by Alice Briggs of robbing her
Of some of the effects of her former
husband, Arthur Johns. The prisoners
were taken before Judge Nichols for
arraignment on the charge of grand
larceny against them. The hearing was
put over till next week and they were
committed in default Of bail.

THREE SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.
Men Who May Be Union Pacific Train
Robbers Seen at Camas Prairie.

Men Who May Be Union Pacific Train
Robbers Seen at Camas Prairie.
A man whose name was not learned
called at the sheriff's office yesterday
with story that he had seen three men
at Camas Prairie two weeks ago yester-
day who he felt sure. We're the Union
Pacific robbers, or at least the same
three men who We're arrested near the
National park few days ago. The
man, who was accompanied by his
brother, was on his way to Butte to
look for work. They had intended to
camp on Camas Prairie for the night.
and the man went UP to cabin to get
some provisions. Three hard-looking
and suspicious-appearing men were in
side. One of them. the spokesman, look
ed like quarter-breed, and he uues-
toned his caller very closely as to
whether he was alone and whittier ne
was going. They created such a bad
impression on the mind of the man that
he concluded not to go into camp near
there. On arriving at Melrose he learn
ed for the first time OF the Union Pa
cific robbery and read a description of
three of the robbers which he declares
fitted exactly the three men he encoun-
tered on Camas Prairie. and who told
him they were on their way to the
park.
