nundrunl
The case that was appealed from
the City Court to the Court of APP

that tribunal has passed it up to the
Supreme Court for a decision. 1t
has been set for argument on the
9th of March.
The adjourned January term of
dhe City Court convened Monday,
but the jurors were excused from
service, and no cases were tried.

judgments were taken in one or two
civil cases that were not litigated.
The judge and solicitor have not
rendered bills and the commission
ers have not paid them the monthly
salaries since November.

Ing liquor In the place.
II such be true, 1t IL extremely

OUT OF FRIENDSHIP,
BURGLAR WAVES ADIEU
MRS. LANE REMEMBERED THE
ARTILLERY AND 1T WAS TOO
MUCH FOR HIM.

Mrs. S, NJ. Lane, 1920 South Main,
had an experience with a thief last
Saturday night which II is safe to
say she won't forget in a hurry
About S o'clock I'm the evening, Mrs.
Lane was sitting on her front porch
and she glanced across at the next
house and and saw a roughly dressed
man crawling out from under the
building, where he had evidently
been asleep. She called to the man
to stop, but there was nothing doing.
She called again and stamped her
foot but still no immediate re-
sponse
Then she remembered a gun up
stairs. A quick dash up the stairs
and the gun was secured, Armed
with the weapon, she made n bold
front, and again commanded the
man TO stop, This time the would
be thief noticed the artillery and
took to his heels and the daring
woman resumed her seat on the front
porch thinking she had seen the last
of the burglar, but not so.
a little later she looked up at q
passing street car and whom should
she see but her burglar friend OF
earlier in the evening. The man saw
her, leaned from the car window
and waived hand at her as he
