COMPROMISE 191 . CIVIL CCUKf. , - 1 n i -1, 'in r: , ,' i Many Cases Settled -Some Continued Others Are Being Trie! ' . . ' The superior'court is working away on civil -cases this week and court officers and lawyers are busy. Following is a list ' of cases disposed of : ' " ' There is jiow pending a de cision of the supreme court , a matter that conctfrns the Royal Arcanum fraternity. . In the in surance matter of A. G. Brenizer, of Charlotte, there is a decision that will regulate all matters of that kind in the future. .In Dur ham three suitjs have been thrown s into court against the Arcanum and these are all held in abeyance upon these terms. That A A. Couch vs. RoyarAr- canunv John Bustard vs. Royal Arcanum and J. B. Walker vs. Royal Arcanum will have these cases continued until . the su preme court of the United States and the council of the RoyarAr canum settle the matter between Brenizer and the Arcanum.- If the. fraternity is in error, the future cases here will be ad justed by that decision' and if the plaintiff Brenizer is in erro the opposite will hold good. In other words, each agrees ; . to abide the result and to withdraw the cases upon the announcement of that decision. , ' It was agreed that in the case of JJB. Warren vs. B. W.' Man gum the judgment having been paid, the case is dismissed by the defendant's payment of costs. 'The 1 supreme t court decides against the Blackwell Darha Tobacco company in its suit against the American' Tobacco company and that matter .was taken from the docket" with the costs on the plaintiff, Robert Perry, administrator of Thomas Lunsford, killed in the explosion of a gasoline tack which he caused by ignorance, was compromised for $750, the Standard Oil Company being the defendent through E. F. Royster. This was to have been an inter esting suit. ' The case is familiar yet, Webb Holloway, a young white man, losing his life in the same tragic way. ' The First National bank re ceives the favorable end ol a compromise against J. M. Whit- ted, W. W. Whitted, J. V. Rigs- bee, Eliza Taylor, et upon a note of $000, and is allowed interest from March 15, 1907, at six per cent, 1 In the Briggs case, Messrs. JJ. A Giles and R. II. Sike3 .repre sent the plaintiff who is asking damages for $4,000 damages, and Messrs. Manning and Fou shee appear for the defendant. The complainant brought out the fact that Mr. Briggs was hurt during that period of 1906 when the car lines, wires and streets were covered with lice and that in defiance of the elements, the cars continued to run without lights are brakes causinga col lission and injury. After the argument of the at torneys they, awarded Briggs $500 damages on account of his injury. The Durham Iron works against C. D. Turner for amount cf ac count due, consumed considera ble time and caused the jury to remain out all night before reaching a decision. Finally, after considering the matter for twenty-four hours, decided that Turner should pay the Durham Iron Works the sum of $SJ.67. The case of the Durham Mer chandisc Company vs. the S. A. L. Railway was compromised. The case of Trice vs. Mangum, in wl.ik-h a cutv was i! contention, was settled by the jury awarding the animal to Trice. ; ; ,The case of IL A. Reams vs. Dr. H. F. Wilson for $100 for the sale off some , property, cor -8umed much time and .was set tied by the jury allowing Reams the sum of $10. . ' . Playtojj Detective.. Tuesday night a man by the uame of . Strickland reported to the police that a badly wanted man had shot at him while they were talking in East Durham, and that as soon as the shot had been fired the man escaped. Search was made by the officers but nothing definite was found. When the matter was reported D. T. Strickland, the man that was the object of the bullet, said he was a detective and thought the man that shot at him was a man by the name of Emerson, wanted in . South Carolina ' ' for murder. -When it wa3 called to the attention of the officers that the man mentioned had surrend ered on .Monday, ithey became somewhat suspicious and investi gation resulted in the arrest of Strickland, what said that he had been a detective some time ago, but had t ailed to keep hi3 credentials. He was given a hearing . before the mayor for carrying concealed weapon and was bound over to court under a .bond of $25. vr? fell Dead V&ile Playing Base Bail. i At Schley.schooi house in .Jl.it tie River township, about 7 miles northeast of town, on Wednes day,.
