Civil Cases. Soften Wards Sentence

Especial to News and Ohserver.)
Wilson, n. c.. Feb. 1S.-Civil cases
we're taken up by the Superior Court
here today The most important among
these were two suits against the Atlantic
Coast Line. Mr.. w. w. Tomlinson sued
for 1865, damage done his property at
Tomlins Cross Roads, near Lucama,
by sparks from a passing engine ignlting
the woods on his place and burning some
very desirable timber, as we'll as a lot of
straw The jury brought in a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, awarding the sum
of $3.50 damages.
The other suit against the road was
that OF Jno. Riley and wife, whose prop
erty adjoins that of Tomlinson The dam
age to this property was not altogether
as great as the other. This case did not
go to the jury, as Messrs w. A. Lucas
and s. G. Mewbern, representing PLAIN
tiffs, and Messrs Daniels and Daniels
and Bruce Williams, the defendants, sue
ceeded in effecting compromise by the
A. c. L. agreeing to pay plaintiffs the
sum of s175.
Every effort is being made by the
counsel of Gill Ward, one of the convicted
slayers of Percy Jones, to induce Judge
Moore to commute his sentence from
that of ten months in the States prison
at hard labor, to imprisonment in the
county Jail here. Ward is an old man and
an ex-Confederate soldier. He had an eX-
cellent record for bravery, as many OF
his comrades testify. During the recon
struction period he was also very prom
inent figure i'll this section. 1t Is gener-
ally thought that the chances for com
mutation of sentence in his case is very
good. In fact some even go so far as to
state it has been granted, but nothing
to this effect has as yet been made pub
lie
