George Cooper against Lilly Cooper,
for adultery.
Nat Pace against Ada Pace, colorcd,

None Of these suits was contested BY
the defendant.
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff was
| rendered in the case of Mrs. Bcdic G. How

arose as to who was the owner Of the
property.
The suit Of J. f. Hicks against th'
Raleigh Ice and Electric Company wa'
set for next Friday by consent.
II the afternoon the suit OF W. 7
King against the Raleigh and Castor
Railroad for $1,000 was argued. Mr.
King was thrown down in getting on
train at Neusc Station on December 22nd
1900, and had several fingers mashed an
his arm and knee injured. The plaintiff
