After the case Of Weinberg against
Sleeves was dismissed the parties got
together and settled the matter
Weinberg gives Sleeves "a quit claim
deed Of his interests in the disputed
land on the payment of the sum of $3.50,
and the attorneys will no longer have
a whack2at the long green of either
party. The case has cost the plain
tiff in the neighborhood of $4,000,
while peculiar feature of the case is
that owing to testimony which certain
witnesses gave concerning their rights
as tenants during the first trial Mr..
Sleeves quits the case with his title

Just before the court adjourned for
the day Tuesday afternoon the grand
jury appeared again.and presented an
Indictment against Ed Veal, charging
him with assault in the second degree.
Monday evening, in company with two
or three other boys around town, he
took an upcountry resident named
Anderson to: a couple of saloons and
Hblew him off" for drinks for the
crowd. Then they visited Douglas
lunch counter, where Veal ordered
sandwiches for the party and when
they were served informed Douglas
that Anderson would settle for them.
Anderson objected and Veal struck
him, knocking him down. After he
was down it is said that Veal kicked
him. Douglas ran around the counter
to stop the affair and as Anderson was
nearest the door started to put him
out first. While he had hold of the
unfortunate fellow Veal rushed up
again and struck Anderson in the back
OF the head, knocking him against the
door, Sheriff Claggett got wind of the
ARRAY and arrested Veal and the jury
took immediate action. Anderson is
quite badly injured about the head and
it is said he may have trouble with his
eyes.
George Stanley, another OF the Veal
party was also indicted. So far the
