BIG DAYS AFTERMATH
How the Scrappers of Thurs
day Fared in the Police
Courts.

! The preliminary hearing in the case oi
| Will Murphy. charged with cutting J. E
/ Hackney, of Durham, on Thursday morn
ing in the Acme saloon, was yesterday
continued until this afternoon at three
| O'Clock, before Justice NJ. B. Barbec
Murphy has made a cash depositin heI
of $50 bond
jim Harris. the negro bartender at
Benson G Kelly's saloon on East Martin
street, who was accused by colored man
of Carthage, Noah Barrett. OF taking his
pocket book with $50 in it on Thursday
was tried yesterday afternoon before
Mayor Powell, and, after a great many
witnesses had been examined was dis
charged for lack of evidence. The trial
consumed considerable time as the case
was stubbornly contested on both sides.
Messrs. S. G. Ryan and Charles L. Harris
appeared as attorneys for jim Harris, and
Mr. w E. Murchison, of Jonesboro, for
Neal Barrett.
1t is reported that a citizen of Raleigh
was saved from having his pocket picked
by watchful and stalv art young cit;
zen of Dunn. 1t seems that the Raleigh
man was stepping on car, when It
pickpocket attempted to do his little act.
He was seen by Mr.. G. l., Cannady, Of
Dunn, who seized ths- robber in the col
lar and turned him over to the police
man standing near the sceEe. The se2oi.G
pick pocket appeared at this time and
10th were arrested and carried to tee
station house.
Miss Placlde Brdgers. daughter of Col
J. L. Bridgers, of Tarboro, brought WITH
her to Raleigh her dog, 2 great Dane
While it was growing at another dos
she slapped il on the head to make It
keep quiet. Instead of doing so the dog
although muzZleG, managed to bite her
hand quite severely
Mr. George w Terrell of this city, had
an unusual and peculiar experience with
4 pick pocket yesterday afternoon. He
was standing near the race track in front
CT the grand stand when he felt some
one with his hand in his pocket or on the
outside. This attracted his attention and
he suddenly turned around but saw 10
one he could positively identity
Mr.. Terrell says he then ran his hanl
in his pockets 20 see if he had lost any
thing and to his establishment he found
himself richer by ten dollars They We're
two five dollar bills in a rumpled cordi-
ton.
Mr.. Terrell is positive that the money
was left in his pocket and says it did not
belong to him. 1t does not seem probable
OF reasonable that a picket pocket should
have money in his hand when he attempts
so delicate a job. 1t is well known that
they all go i'll pairs or threes and when
one take money he quickly transfer it to
another. and it is reasonable he had just
robbed some one and mistook Mr.. Terrell :
pocket for that of his pal and slipped It
in while the crowd was thick. Anyway
Mr. Terrell is richer of Uncle Sans goods
By 1000 as a result of a peculiar circum-
s+ance.
If the intruder will appear in person to
Mr.. Terrell and identify the money and
explain his generosity towards strangers,
no doubt Mr.. Terrell will return it.
MORE FOLKS TOUCHED"
1t was feared yesterday that Mr.. J. Nj.
Hodges of Harnett county, was relieved
OF about $500 as he was leaving town
az the Union Depot Thursday night. For
tunately he had given the bulk of the

A.. and NJ. College.
Messrs. Glenn Bailey, OF Kinston, and
Mtssrs. Joe Dardcn and +. R. Hodges, OF

Bailey lest s.. taken from his hip pOck
ct on the Fair Grounds, and Mr.. Dardel
was also relieved on the FAIR Grounds
of his pocket book, which had his ticket
III it but very little money. While IN the
act OF putting his sister on the train Mr..
Hodges noticed two men crowding him
closely, whom he told to stand back. He
thinks then was when his pants pocket
was relieved OF his purse containing So
in bills.
