 by Negro

 When the case came to trial the judge decided against Sam James, who then charged MT. Barganier with peonage, al- leging that he had ben In the latters em- ploy for a number of years, and that he had received no wages except his board. He also alleged that MT. Barganier had caused his arrest in Noble in order to get him back on the Butler county plan tation.
 Mr. Barganier was then arrested by
 
 government officials and the case was given a hearing today. At this hearing it was brought out that the warrant for the negro's arrest in Mobile had been sworn out by Claude Rivers, negro on the Barganier plantation, and that the l owner of the plantation was innocent of the charge of peonage.
