by Rural Policeman Hardy about two

ter last Wednesday, and his body
brought to Manning Thursday morn
ing. The coroner summoned a jury
and held an inquest. The verdict of
the jury was that Able DuRant came

Morris Ness was the victim of a
check flasher last Saturday. A young
white man presented a check for
$4,000 to Mr.. Ness signed by j. E.
Gamble and made payable to j.. w.
Coleman. The check was drawn on
the Bank of Manning. The check was
a forgery as Sheriff Gamble does not
known anything about it and did not
write it. Very likely there is no such
person as j. w. Coleman. The trick
was worked and Mr.. Ness is out of
$4,000.
