lives on WcIlons street, near Wilson
avenue. lies tonight suffering with Il
broken leg, several scars about his face
and a number of bruises on his limbs
and body. Dr. Gibson is looking after
the injured man.
Riddick's predicament was similar
to converse picture of the man who
Btradled limb and proceeded to saw
1t off between himself and the trunk.
He was unloading car of pine boards
on Norfolk and Western side track,
near the Suffolk Peanut Company
plant, and had chopped off all the
stays but one.
Unmindful of danger, Riddick con-
tinued to cut through the standard
which held in position one side of the
lumber. The piece finally gave way
with crash. Several persons who
were nearby helped to get him out.
FORTUNE TELLER MAKES
TROUBLE.
A court case, in which fortune
teller is said to have made much of
the trouble, was completed last night
in the county by Justice Bunting, with
Hurricane Branch as court officer.
Nevana Hall had been in a bad way
some what sickly-and she went to a
fortune teller to learn what the mat
ter was.
The person who deals in futures and
black arts readily OWNED the cause of
Nevana Halls troubles. She said Gus
sic Jones had something to do with
her misfortune.
That brought on a lot of neighbour
hood talk, and it was charged that
Nevana threatened TO dump poison IN
Nevana's well.
Gussie sworc out peace warrant
and Nevana got out counter war
rant. The women were fined S3.25 each
and placed under s25 bond to keep the
peace four months. The fortune tel
Ter was not molested.
