The preliminary hearing of the cases in the court of United, States Commis- sioner I. D. Lloyd, against W. N. Huggins, the negro former night clerk at the postoftice came up for a hearing at 12 o'clock today There were two warrants against Huggins charging him with conspiracy to rob the post off1ce.
 When the cases against Huggins were called, through his attorney he waived examination as far as his in- troducing any evidence In the trial Commissioner Lloyd then went ahead and heard the evidence for the prose cution. At the conclusion of the tes- timony Huggins was bound over in the sum of $500 in each case to await the action of .ne United States grand jury next May
 Besides the two cases against Hug gins which were heard this morning the negro is already under bond for counts which the recent United States grand jury found against him. The bond in the previous cases which are pending against him is $250. HugRins will probably make the $500 bond by tomorrow.

from wild ostHches that they do not
endure the dyeing process as well as
the others and that they do not with
