CIVIL COURT.
Judge Cole. PRESIDING. june II.

By direction of Judge Cole, jury
rendered verdict for $770 in favor of
the complainant in the Supreme Court
issue of Lewis Starr v. Vim. G.
Frick. The case was ont contested.
In the suit of Potash Bros. ".
Charles Silver, the verdict of the jury
was for the defendant. The suit
grew out OF note transaction. Plain
tiff alleged that a note for $500 repre-
sented a debt from Silver to POTASH,
while Silver contended that POTASH
Bros, who were his cousins, secured
his name on the note to aid them in
a real estate purchase, and that he
benefited not at all. The verdict was
for the defendant. Meccum for Pot
tash Watkins for Silver.
Wednesday morning Mr. Avis made
a plea for mitigation of sentence inn
posed ON Herbert Rudd, colored, aged
%. He thought a sentence of one to
three years extreme in case of one so
young and of such general good repu-
tation His offence was carrying
concealed deadly weapons, and he did
it in Wild-West style, a big revolver
in big belt. Judge Swackhamer last
Friday imposed like sentence on VIM.
C. Berkendate for carrying weapons,
and on julius Johnson for cutting
Officer Keegan.
Going armed is second nature to
the young colored population and law
officers recognize that it is this pre-
paredness to shoot that is responsible
for most of the crimes and if prison
sentences will break up the habit that
course will be followed. The Judge
took the Rudd case under advisement.
Buck Price received one to
three year sentence, while Albert Rey-
nolds, for larceny, was given Jail
sentence of three months.
A verdict for the plaintiff was rem
dered in the contract suit of G. w.
Karge v. B. S. Ayers & Sons Co.
Watkins for plaintiff. McAllister for
defendant.
The suit of Royal r. Richards v.
Harry Rice, for damages sustained in
a collision between a motorcycle and
an auto, near Westville, is being tried
