Mr. Tom Tolar, who was serious
ly injured in a fall from a street car
in Richmond some months ago and
who has been suffering with his left
leg ever since he returned recently
from Richmond, whre he was under
treatment for these injuries for some
weeks, learned Tuesday in Fayette
ville, where an X-Ray examination
was made, that his left thigh bone is
broken and that his best hope for a
successful operation is wiwth Dr. Mur-
phjya specialist of Chicago. Mr. Tolar
week. "He has suspected that his leg
was broken for some time but the
doctors at the hospital in Richmond
did not think so, though they did not
make an X-Ray examination, and as
sured him that they thought his leg
would get all right. Mr. Tolar was
accompanied to Fayetteville Tues
day by Dr. T. C. Johnson.
The condition of Mrs. Lina McLean,
who has been sick at the home of her
son, Mr. A. W. McLean, Chestnut
street, for several weeks, is thought
to be slightly improved today.
Mr. O. W. Williamson of route 4

Superior Court.
Civil court has been grinding away
slowly since Monday. The following
cases have been disposed of: Arthur
Hunt vs. Peyrie Hunt, a divorce case,
judgment for plaintiff. ' Judgment has
been granted in the following cases:
Mary J. McNeill et al vs. Anna J.
Buie et al, Ludden & Bates vs. J. J.

The case of Katie Ann Locklear vs.
W. A. Savage et al seems to be tak
ing up considerable time. The case
was taken up yesterday morning and
had not been finished up tonoon to
day. Not Disturbed About Late Spring.
Mr. J. L. Monroe, who lives near
Elrod, was a Lumberton visitor yes
terday. He was here in connection
with a long-drawn-out land suit, A. E.
Monroe and B. F. McLean vs. J. L.
and T. P. Monoe. The case was set
tled outside of c6urt. Mr. Monroe
says he is not disturbed about the late
spring. He thinks that, generally
speaking, farmers are prone to get
in ibo big a hurry and that nothing is
ever lost by spending plenty of time
in preparation, in getting good and
ready before planting. No use fretting
and trying to get ahead of the sea
sons, Mr. Monroe thinks.

Raleigh News and Observer, March

John P. McLendon, Robeson county
veteran, struck his comrade, James
Ray, Sunday evening with a cane, then !
fell on the floor dying within two I

The story leaked out yesterday
morning when Coroner Charles Separk

which was not known until yesterday.
The c.oroner found nothing that could I
;be charged against the management.
of the home and all the witnesses
' gave abundant proof that the old sol-!
dier died in a fit of temper. S
Mr. McLendon was a crippled man j
and had to be rolled in a chair. Sun- I
day evening the dead man rolled him- i
self up behind his mate and rapped the j
Infirm old gentleman over the head j
with a stick. Mr. Ray says he had no
idea what moved the Robesonian to
strike him; that the same cane was
twice used. Mr. Ray then causrht it.
pulled the wielder of the stick and
Mr. McLendon fell over on his face,
"I did not strike him at all," the
comrade said yesterday. "I did not
try to hit him. I wasn't; mad even
when the stick hit me and hurt me,! I
Other soldiers say the dead man had ;
an ungovernable temper and that his J
injuries naa worked to greater child- j
ishness. He was regarded harmless j
all the same.
The coroner examined several wit
nesses who told the same story and !
there was nothing to do. The cause '
of the dead man's death came from a !
ruptured blood vessel and this came
from the temper.
