Almus Beck was before jus
tice of the Peace Gunter last
Tuesday on the charge of theft
and was bound over to the su-
perior court in a bond of $100,
which he could not give and was
put in Jail. The charge against
Beck is that he stole clothing
from the park skating rink while
those that patronize the rink
were on the floor. Many things
have beenstolen at the park rink,
and other arrests may follow.
R. L. Copeland was before
Justice Of the Peace Owens last
Tuesday afternoon charged with
carrying concealed weapon and
is now under bond for his ap-
pearence at the next term Of
Durham superior court. This
came about from the fact that
Copelond and Kinnie Lloyd were
at Lakewood Park last Saturday
night and Llyod was arrested for
shooting. When Copeland learn
ed that his friend had been ar
rested he came forward and SUBJ
mitted rather than his friend
should bear the blame. While
the fact that Mr.. Copeland, who
was here from iOrange county,
used a pistol to show off is not
commendable, it must be good
streak in him to come forward
rather than see his friend suffer.
