Wednesday: showers, warmer.|_ Beruet N.C. Mar. 11 1895."Mr: Se
ss
_ oThe Office Begging.
It looked Monday like every
body was well enough satisfied
with Dick King being Sheriff, as
no one 6!se seemed to want the
office when an opportanity "was
offered for occupying itT a short;
while... The bond suits -came up
again in court that day to be tried
before a jury... The regular jury
for the week was exhausted with-
out getting a jury fur the case.
The question then arose a3 to
who shouid be appointed to act as
Sheriff and summon jurors, being
@ party to the suit debarring
Sheriff King from performing this
duty. Counsel for the defense
called the - attention of the Court
to the fact that the Coroner was
the proper person to act as Sher-
iff under such circumstances,
owhen counsel for the. plantifi
thinking the other side sowe-,
what anxious for the Coroner tv
serve objected to him, the fact
coming out in the argument. that
coupled with his other good traits
of characier, he.was a Democrat.
Then the. amusing spectacie fol
Jowea of eyérybody suggested by
one side being objected to by the
other side, while ail who were
suggested by the Court asked to}
be excused from serving. Matters
- went on in this way until Court
adjourned for the day.
This morvipg,at the opening
of Court Judge Coble, appointed
ex Sheriff Ailen warren to act as
Sherif du-ihg the contiruance of
the trial. By noon reeess the ji y
was selec.ed and is comp of
the following A. James,
