Bound Over,
To Court

j. D. Jenkins, (Col.) was
arrested last Monday evening
by Deputy sheriff Elzie BRAZIL
charged with burgarly. Itseems
like Jenkins or some one had en-
tered the home of III X. Moore at
Coalmont and demanded money
of him and Mr.. Moore told them
where his pocket book was, then
two white fellows, who were as
sisting Jenkins, tied him and
wanted to know where he kept
the money that he received from
running the Theater at Coal
mont, (Mr. Moore having charge
of same) Mr.. Moore not wishing
to have any more trouble told
them where the money was and
this the robbers received and
leaving him tied hiked off.
The next day the pocket hook
was found in Jenkins home, or
rather part of it, as the parties
had tried to burn it up but fail
ed. The preliminary trial was
held nuasdav at tho (1ourt Houca
at Tracy City before Esq's. w.
j. Jossi and John T. Wright,
and Jenkins was bound over to
Circuit Court to await the action
Of the grand jury. 1t is thought
that the two white men will be
arrested in few days as the
officers think they know who
they are.
