Young Seals With Intent to KILL

Jack McMinn, negro, charged with
shappping loaded pistol in the face
of young Gordon Seals, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. E. Seals of Fletcher was bound
over to Superior court before Squire
Frank Smith, who held court in the
court house here Tuesday.
1t is said that the negro came to the
store of Mrs. NJ E. Seals. ard asked -
see pistol belonging to Mr.. Seals
which he wanted to buy. Young Seals
unloaded the gun and handed it to the
negro. In some way a bullet was
paced in the gun and the negro isNal-
legged to have remarked, Look how
easy have got you,' and he then phil
ed the trigger. The gun failed to go
eff, possibly saving the young mans
life. There was no misunderstanding
among the parties, except that the
Seals had refused credit to the negro
or several occasions, previously.

which the train passes have become
strong stimulus to sanitary improve
