DR.. J. 81. Moore Demands $4,000 From the
First National Bank of Statewide.

Especial to News and Observer
Taylorsviile, n. c.; Nov 6.-The largest
damage suit ever filed in Alexander coun-
ty was instituted last night by III. j.
II. Moore, of Liledoun, against the First
National Bank of Statesville. and Geo H
Brown, cashier thereof, the damage claim
ed being S55 000 The action grows out OF
an atttachnent proceedings instituted last
June by the First National Bank and its
cashier, Geo. H. Brown, against the Moore
Cotton Mill property at Liledoun, Alex
ander county, and the Moore Milling Com
pany property at Hickory, n. c. DR..
Moore claims some $4,000 worth of prop
erty was seized by the sherffs of both
counties to secure payment of debt of
$4,000. The warrant of attachment was
issued upon the filing of an affidavit by
Geo. FL. Brown, cashier of above bank,
alleging that the plaintiff above was in
solvent, AMI was selling off personal prop
erty with intent to defraud his creditors
and had departed the State with similar
intent. At a subsequent term OF Iredell
court DR.. Moore moved before Judge Al
len to dissolve the ATTACHMENT proceed
ings averring that the charges set forth in
the affidavit of Mr.. Brown were IN fact
false and without probable cause. Upon
the hearing in Statesville His Honor dis

property injured in value, as well as his
character damaged.
The attorneys bringing the action are r.
T. Linney, of Taylorsville; T. Nj. Hufham,
OF Hickory; and Messrs. Armfield &
Turner. of Statesville.

Durham, n c., Nov. 6.-Late last night,
or rather at an early hour this morning
a girl who says that she is yut sixteen
years of age was found locked in room
at a house of i'll fame in the eastern
part of tn city. The house is run Dy
Mamie House.
The story told by the girl is one thai
should be thoroughly Investigated and If
the facts are true then some one should
suffer She came here yesterday IA
the western part of the State. 1einni;
her story she said that she was seduced
by her lover and he sent her to Durham,
giving the address of the house TO which
she went. She said that she
did not know the character Of
the house until Sc had reached there and
then when she wanted to leave the pro-
prietress of the house refused to let her
leave and locked her in room.
Late in the night a young man was
down there and ascertaining the facts
succeeded in getting her from the room,
brought her to hotel up street, told the
story to the police and then reported the
matter to City Missionary Troy. As soon
a she story became known around the
hotel small purse was made up for her
benefit and today Mr.. Troy left with her
to carry her to reformatory.
The girl does not look to be any
older than she says, and is rather
pretty. She totld her story to police of
ficer and then to several ministers and 9th
ers who were at the hotel when she reached
there. The matter is being investigated
and if all the facts she told prove to be
true, there will be trouble for some one.
The name given by the girl is familiar
one She came from the extreme western
part of the State; says that she has sew
eral brothers who do not know of her
whereabouts and that an uncle is In the
Wholesale bushes SID Charlotte. Those
who have kefriended her and are max
ing an effort to save the girl, think best
that her name be not given IN print at
this time, and not at all unless it is
brought out in a prosecution that may
follow.
