Man Who Jumped Bond Still Absent Sam Carrutiicrs to be Tried for Perjury University Alumni Asso ciation Formed. Correspondence of The Observer. Salisbury, Feb. 15. Grover C. Hall has not yet reported for trial and there is hardfv any doubt that he meant to skip his bond. Court has gone on just the same and this day has furnished the greatest amusement. Two colored men convulsed the court to-day. One Andy Watson was witness against Henry lwis for assault with a deadly weapon. In defense. Lewis said that he had the law from the sheriff and that he Is slave to the laws." He produced a trespass notice to which he had signed the sheriff's name and his own, and honeetly believed that this warning to trespasses gave him full right to shoot down any one who came near bis home. Judge Council fined both of them, after they cross fired at each other In the most amusing court scene ever enacted here. The Jury that tried 8. J. Kliiott and A. N Journey for assault, with deadly weapons found both guilty and recom mended mercy. Journev was badly shot by Elliott, his son-in-law. but he was aggressive and is said to be a bad character. Judge Council gave Elliott two years and Journey four months. Walter Mellaril pleaded guilty to larceny and goos up for four years. The jury has been impaneled for the trial of Sam Oarruthers for perjury. He is the father of the three boys now serv ing a term of two years for conspiracy against the- life of Walter Crump. Only two of the boys made the assault, but the defective bill - of indictment lost the graver offense of secret assault, of which they were convicted, and they are to answer other charges. Judge Council Is especially good to the schools and roads and the work is being done splendidly. Mr. and Mrs. A. 6. Saleeby have re turned, from Greensboro whore they were married yesterday. They are Syrians and splendid citizens. Mr. Saleeby Is the city's well-known confectionor and Is as thoroughly liked as any native born citizen. He has a neatly furnished horn and has moved into it.
