The case Of Lester Sanders, who
was arrested recently at Salisbury,
\. c., on warrant charging COM
plicity in the robbery of the store OF
K. II. Boyd, at Seneca, was heard in
Walhalla last Saturday afternoon be-
fore Magistrate J. B. S. Dendy. The
hearing resulted in Sanders being
sent up for trial in the General Ses-
sions Court. No bail arrangements
have been made and Sanders re-
mains in the county jail He will
doubtless be faced with another war
rant and charge 50 soon as the pres
ent case has been family disposed of
by the higher court and his sentence,
if found guilty, has been satisfied.
This second charge arises out of the
fact that Sanders had in his posses
sion several articles that were miss
ing from the store of Lowry & Hollo-
way, of Seneca, whose store was
broken open some time ago The
articles, it is said. have been identi-
fled by the proprietors OF the store
Young Williams, who was arrested
in connection with the Boyd robbery
and safe-blOWing, has not been given
