OF, THOUGH NONE WERE OF
VERY SERIOUS NATURE-FlvE
NEGROES PLEADED GUILTY TO
GAMBLING.

Several cases were disposed Of in
the court of record yesterday, but none

upon NJ. A. Cowan, also a white man.
Johns was found guilty by the jury,
but was not sentenced yesterday.
Philip Weinard, white, was charged
with killing an intruding animal and
was found guilty by the jury and SEN
fenced to pay a fine of 81 and costs.
He was charged with killing a COW
which was trespassing upon his prop
erty.
Annie Benbow, Frank Miller, JEFF
Bedside, Lord Johnson and Arthur
Beard, all negroes, were before the
court on the charge of gambling and
all pleaded guilty. They were sen
fenced to pay the costs or serve 80 days
each, but imposition of sentence was
suspended.
