A Sensation in Court.

Ex-Gov. Aycock created something
of sensation in Superior Court in
Raleigh Monday, when he arose and
asked that the case against Bertha
Brown be continued, basing his re-
quest on an article that appeared in
the Raleigh morning paper. He said
that paper had demanded a trial
of the case at this term and had an
nounced peradventure that the de-
PENDANT was guilty. He said that
newspapers should keep hands Off of
cases pending for trial. He contend
ed that under the circumstances a
fair trial could hardly be had; that
jury would be Influenced by the
article. The Judge ordered the case
set for trial at 2:30 this Thursday
afternoon. Bertha Brown, a white
woman, is charged with vagrancy.

MYSTERIOUS
 RAILROAD HAS
 BEEASURVEYEO
Chihuahua Enterprlse.)


 A few months ago the Enterpr SC published the news of a mysterious engineering party establishing head quarters at Douglas, Ariz., on the Ari- zona-Sonora line and commencing the survey of line for a railroad from there south of the International line to Guzman station on the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad in Chihuahua. At the time no one seem ed to know whom or what interests the party represented nor is there any further information except that the Enterprise received private informa- tion on Thursday of this week to the effect that a large engineering force would complete its work of location by May 1 and that some preparation for the work of grading was being made. In fact, a certain man was asked if he could be ready by May I to take charge of a grading outfit on the line mentioned.
 It is positively stated that the members of the engineering party who have been working eastward from Douglas and westward from Guzman say they do not know whom they are working for; that their en- gineer Is Chas. fleming who makes his headquarters in Fl Paso. Texas, and the men get his personal checks when they are paid and that the checks are cashed at the bank.
 The chief assistant engineer is Len A. White, who was an engineer under ]. P. Hallihan in the building and surveying of the Sierra Madre and Pacific from Temosaehic to Ma dera, this state, and was later the 1 engineer of the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company. Mir Whites | headquarters are at Douglas. The animals and wagons used by | this engineering corps are some oi the same which formerly belonged te the Sierra Madre Land and Lumbgl ! company and have the "R O. brand of that corporation. These animals and wagons were sold some time ago As is well known, when Col. w. c | Greene obtained his federal railroad concessions for his great railroad pro feet for the exploitation of which hS organized the Sierra Madre and Pa cific Railroad company, he obtained among others. a concession for a rail road from Guzman station westward lparalleling the international boundary to Douglas and thence westward t'
 Cananea.
 At the time the above mentione'
 survey was commenced there wer'
 all kinds of specslations as to wh'
 was back of it. It was generally suI
 posed to be Hartman. Since thel
 and very recently pr. F. s. Pearso

Later tests made showed that the milk was well up to and in some cases above the required standard. The trouble at first. the chairman declared. was that the calves were getting the rich est part of the milk and that the milk as a result feel short of the re- quired three per cent butter fat. Day- idson and his counsel made the plea that the defendant was not a practi- cal dairyman and that any deficiency in the milk was not due to malicious tinIering but to his lack of familiar ity with the proper methods of dairy ing Davidson said he had remedied conditions that were complained of and he pointed to the later tests as evidence of his capability to bring his product to the standard required by the ordinance.

RepaImANos pAIRYMAN

The board of health in a resolution adopted this morning disposed of the R. H. Davidson milk case by censur- ing Davidson for past delinquencies and warning him that the future must not find h,s milk objectionable. Had it not been that the board believed Davidson's milk was sub-standard only through his ignorance of proper methods, more drastic action might have been taken. But recently Dav- idson succeeded in bringing his milk to the required standard and because of this and his evident desire to meet every qualification demanded of diary men the board was lenient The res olution adopted is as follows:
 whereas, Upon investigation or the milk and dairy of R. F- David non. it appears that the deficiency in butter fat was caused by ignor- ance of the proper methods of hand ling the dairy business and that t further appears that the said R. H. Davidson has now shown his ability to bring his milk up to the proper standard; be 1t
 Resolved, That he be and is here by reprimanded for the past condition of his milk and notified that any sub sequent falling below the standard will be deemed sufficient grounds for the revocation of his permit"
