The Offence a Capital One.
I For several weeks there has
> been an epidemic of breaking
in and stealing in our town.
I and as such crimes will out,
i the matter was brought to light
last Saturday. Three of the
birds were arrested, Grant Mc
■ Neill and Garfield Cagle, the
■ latter being captuied Friday
night in Wilson. The colored
. girl, Missouri Wood, who has
• been cooking at Mrs. T. L. H.
Young's "for some time, a wit
ness in the case against Gar
field for entering the house of
Mrs. Young on the night of
July lOfch, was also found upon
evidence to be connected with
the breaking in, and sent to
jail.
The trial against Garfield
was heard and he was bound
over to court, and placed in
the lock-up. Grant McNeill
was also a witness in the case,
and was arrested Wednesday
previous to the trial, for selling
stolen meat, so he and the
woman were placed in the
guard house. A few hours
after they were all placed in
the lock-up, Grant McNeill con
fessed the whole thing. His
evidence was that the woman
cut the shutters and got Gar
field to go into the house and
look for a gold watch and ring.
He went in and failed to find
the articles and made his es
cape through the back door
without disturbing the family.
The woman then sent Grant
in for the valuables. He
went in at the window and
made a search and while in
disturbed Mrs. Young and her
daughter, who called out and
caused him to make his escape
through the back door. No
further evidence was given, and
all three were sent to Fayette
ville jail. This is a capital
offence and if the same evi
dence is produced at the next
term of Court Harnett will have
another hemp pulling.
The Best Report.
Mr. H. C. McNeill, tax lister
for Averasboro township, is in
receipt of a letter from the Reg
ister of Deeds, bearing date of
July 15th, which states that his
returns are found to be the best
and most complete in every re
spect of any received in the
county. This speaks well for
our neighbor and friend, Mr.
McNeill. He is not only an ac
curate and careful man along
the line of tax listing, but one
of the best magistrates in this
township, keeping himself well
posted in the law. We con
gratulate him in the words of
praise. !
Ball Game, Tomorrow.
Tomorrow evening (Thurs-
day) and Friday morning the
Durham ball team will play on
our diamond against the home
team. The game tomorrow
will be called at 4:30. At :
night an ice cream supper will
be given to help make funds to
pay expenses. Let everybody
show appreciation of the games
by giving a liberal support.
