In Peterson's room at the rear of the theatre stage of the Air Dome on West Trade street, the pock etbook and another 5 check endors ed In the same handwriting as that of the first check were found. Mr Tlllson had re ceived two checks for $10 each and one for 15. but had secured the cash for one of those for $10.

Grand .lurv Kind a True Bill in the Case of Wetl-Rnowa Cluvrlotte Man ( luu-geri With Assaulting Hie Wife by Mich t ing at Her With a Pistol, rrand lurv do oreaent that D. A" Hurley did assault hi wife, Kath erlne Jordan Hurley, by shooting at her three times: the assault occur ring In the room of Mrs. Hurley in the Buford Hotel In th City of Char lotte. North Carolina, and the shoot ing being done with a pistol, on or about the 30th of May." Thus reads a bill returned by the grand Jury of Superior Court yester day In the oaee narrated at some length In yesterday morning's paper. This development, which 1 an Impor tant one,, wa the only one of the day. The case will not be reaxhed at this term cf court and lta future out come la, of course, entirely proble matical, being largely dependent on the nature of the testimony of Mrs. Hurley, who has gone to etav with her mother In New York. The ac cused Is said to be still under medi cal treatment in a local hospital. The graad Jury took up the case at once yesterday morning and Insti tuted eji Investigation, under the di rection, of course, of Solicitor Clark son. The scene of the affair was vls Itod by a number of the Jurymen and a number of witnesses were examined. There was, of course, little If any di rect testimony, there being no eye witnesses except Mrs. Hurley, but the grand Jury is not limited to specially qualified testimony, since Its findings are merely preliminary.

Daniel Mayes, for a similar misdeed, was made a roaxl-maker on sight for twelve months. The privil eges of the convict camps were ac corded U Melvin Dunlap for six months. Disregard of the property rights was his trouble. Will MoC'on nell and Will Pratt, negroes, were found guilty of an assault, but sen tence was not pronounced Ida Thompson, who took a grip full Of clothes which belonged to anoth er, was given six months in Jail. Law rence Potts, who had carrled a weap on concealed, will work four months on th roads. Henry Bryant, colored, who stole oods from Eflrd's depart ment store, received four months on the roads.

Ruth Sadler and Katherine Stow A Reminder of May 20th Yesterday. Nearly everybody who was not non compos mentis knows or at least has a fugitive notion that It rained ye teray. The most striking characteris tic of the day was its similarity to the fateful and yet eventful period which preceded it Just two weeks. In all points of gloom yesterday rank ed with its predecessor. Its showing as a rainer, too. Is far from despicable, though It fell considerably short of the reoord of May 20. On that date, within twelve hours, 3.61 Inches of rain bit the bltullthtc streets of Char lotte. Yesterday during the same pe riod, 3.22 Inches Journeyed earthward. The total for 24 hours was 3.02, .80 having fallen before 8 In the morn ing. The causal conditions appear to be similar to those of the previous oc currence, originating in the Louisiana section. The prediction was a contin uance throughout the ntght and a part of to-day. An Attractive Folder by the Tarry - moore.
