trial of William Johnson held in
Justice Young's court Wednesday re-
suited in a dismissal of the suit on the
motion of the prosecuting attorney
Sheets. Insufficient evidence bad
been procured by the state to sustain
the charges that Johnson wal one of
the three who held up and robbed the
occupants of the Missouri Southern
Office recently. Johnson, it is said,
had secured an abundance of evidence
to prove that he wal in Piedmont at
the time the robbery was committed.
Johnson was recently under arrest
charged with assault upon Herman
Hills and had been out on a bond of
$500. 1t has since been a~scertained
that another man by the same name
was>the one who committed the as
sault and Johnson was released from
this charge and his bond refunded"
Greenville Sun: "Preliminary steps
toward the actual organization of the
six baseball league we're taken
at the meeting held at Turks Hall in
Williamsville, on the afternoon of
December -, and much real progress
was made toward the contamination
of this project, which has been the
subject for live discussion among the
local fans for the past several weeks,
and in view of the progress made at
this initial meeting, a bush league for
this neck o. the woods next year
seems an assured thing. Strong dele.
cations of fervent fans were present
from five of the towns comprising
the proposed league-Des Arc, Pied
mont, Leeper, Wiiliamsville and
Greenville. Annapolis was not rep
resented at the meeting, and the
question of whether Annapolis, Pat
terson or Ellington should be taken
in as the sixth member of the league
was left open for future discussion"
