er and w. H. Cobb for solicitor They
waived preliminary and the case was
sent to the upper court, which is now
in session. The case was worked up
by ]. F. Herlong, a member Of the
grand jury for this county. Bad blood
had existed for some time between him
and Mr. Caughman over Mr.. Caugh-

the case against the defendants. Some
