Charleston, April 22.-The prelim.
mary hearing Of ]. R. Graves.
charged with grand larceny, was
held this morning at 10 o'clock in
Justice Ackley's court. After the
examination Of witnesses for the pros
ecution the defendant was bound over
to the superior court under 50, 900
bond, which he was unable to pay.
and was taken to the county jail at
Asotin.
Graves is the man who has been
active throughout the country for
some time past selling groceries for
a Kansas City company and had Sc
cured a large number Of orders from
all sections Of the county. When
taking the orders in February and
March, Graves asserted that the
goods would be delivered in three
weeks and would be TO b. Lewiston,
his price being extremely below the
local merchants. With each order
he collected a percentage Of the en-
tire bill to insure the purchaser s
good faith in the transaction. The
goods have never arrived, and when
unprecedented, Graves was evidently
trying to get out & the country.
