to One Offence Of Selling

Busy Under Law Requiring Him to

assumed the duties of the office, having
four criminal cases to dispose Of in the
city court. Saturday the states attor-
neY issued his first warrant, which was
for raid in the residence of James En-
wright in Graniteville. At 1880 Satur.
day evening, Deputy Sheriffs H. J. Slay-
ton, II. D. Camp and George L. Morris
visited the Enwright home. Though
they searched high and low the officers
found no liquor, but they had warrants
for the arrest of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Enwright, and they brought their prison
ers to the lookup in this city, where
they remained over Sunday, being unable
to furnish bail for their appearances in
court this morning.
Both respondents were arraigned in
court to-day before Judge Scott as JUS
tiee, and Mr.. Enwright pleaded guilty to
one offense of selling. On recommends
tion Of the states attorney, Judge Scott
sentenced the respondent to the county
jail for not less than three months or
more than 90 days. Mrs. Enwright plead
ed not guilty to the same charge. and
the states attorney, stating that the
purpose of the state had been accom-
plished in the sentence of Mr.. Enwright,
asked that the case against Mrs. En-
wright be mol pressed, which was done,
and the respondent discharged.
While making the raid at the En-
wright house, the officers encountered
something that they were not particu-
larly looking for, in the person Of Mi
chael Cushman, who happened to be in
an over erjubilant state of intoxieation.
Mike was thoroughly angered by the
advent of the officers into the house and,
according to the officers, Mike proceeded
to attempt to throw them out bodily.
He attacked officer Morris first, and
when the other two officers came to Nor
ris assistance the infuriated man waded
into the three. None of the officers had
his handouts with him, and after fail
ing to quiet Mike in any way, they final
" tied him hand and foot with clothes
line and brought him to Jail with the
other two prisoners.
Mike was arraigned this morning on
the charge Of breach of the peace for
assaulting an officer while in the dis
