WARRANTS ISSUED AGAINST BROWNS AND DEPUTY WIKE Eight Warrants As The Result of Melee at Dance Hall Several Nights Ago; Date of Trial In definite. Warrants have been issued against Jake Brown, Mrs. Jake Brown, Frank Brown and Deputy Sheriff Wike as the result of a fracas several nights ago at a dance hall located between China Grove and Landis. Three counts are lodged against Jake Brown: possession and transport ing liquor, assault on an officer and resisting an officer while in the dis charge of his duties. Mrs. Jake Brown was charged with two offenses: drunk and disorderly and resisting an officer. Frank Brown was indicted on two counts: drunk and disorderly, and ob structing an officer in the performance of his duties. Deputy Sheriff Wike was indicted for an assault with a deadly weapon. It will be recalled that Deputy Wike, in response to a call, went to the dance hall. After making a survey of the hall, Deputy Wike approached Jake Brown to relieve him of a small quan tity of liquor which Wike said Brown had on his person. A general melee fol lowed in which, it was stated by Of ficer Wike, all three Browns partici pated. In the scuffle that followed, Jake Brown was shot several times in the leg by Deputy Wike and several other participants were the recipient of blows and bruises. Jake Brown is in the Salisbury hos pital with a broken leg and several gunshot wounds. The date for the trial has not been set. It will probably be several weeks before the cases are tried, depending on the recovery of Jake Brown.

The girl, Rosa Johnson, is reported to be showing considerable intelli gence, speaks very correctly and has changed her boyish garb for a neat dress. She speaks bitterly of her home. She says that she had to leave school in the eighth grade to take care of an ill mother and that subsequently she went to work and paid the way of her two sisters through high school. Now she wants to complete her education and says that she finds her family un willing to help her. "I’d have got by if I’d have had my hair cut,” she declared in lament ing that her effort to pose as a man had been successful. She believes that women find it more difficult to obtain jobs than do men, and a job, she de clares. is what she wants and needs most now. Money In Circulation In U. S.

JUROR MUST SERVE TERM FOR CONTEMPT Discussed Murder Trial After Being Warned Not To By Trial Judge. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 19.—The supreme court affirmed the sentence of J. T. Babb of Greenville, sentenced to 90 days in the Greenville county jail by Judge W. H. Townsend for con tempt of court while Babb was serv ing as a juror in the case of J. Har mon Moore, on trial for murder in the death of Sheriff Sam D. Willis of Greenville county. Judge Townsend sentenced Babb when he found the latter guilty of talking about the case while serving as a juror and absent from the court room during the night. The court had instructed jurors the case was not to be discussed. The opinion, concurred in by all justices, read in part: . . in passing sentence upon the exceptions we do not consider it neces sary to state the questions raised but deem it sufficient to state that after careful consideration of the entire record in the case it is our opinion that the record fully supports the finding, holding and rulings of the circuit judge and the sentence imposed. . . .” r- —-- ■ .

I Novel Timber Bridge Saves Carolina Road Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 19.—Timbers placed atop untreated pine piles saved the day along a two-and-a-half-mile stretch of swampy North Carolina land where the concrete road had sunk so far as to be impassable. The novel timber bridging was constructed di rectly over the old roadway, accord ing to a report in the Engineering News-Record by W. L. Craven, bridge engineer of the North Carolina State Highway Commission. Spaced ten feet apart, the piles were driven deep into the oozy mud in lines on both sides of the old road bed. Caps made of concrete encased the tops of the piles in order to provide a firm basis for the timber decking. A layer of asphaltic concrete covered this decking of the emergency road. While the piles were being driven it was still possible to leave a minimum of thirteen feet of the old road open to traffic. Hawk Drops Rattler On Workmen’s Heads Pasadena, Cal., Aug. 19.—It’s bad enough to watch a threatening rattle snake squirm about on the ground, but it’s worse to have one dropped on your head. This was the experience of a group of city workmen who were making a fire trial on a mountainside near Charlton Flats. A large hawk flew over the work men carrying a four-foot rattler, but the squirming reptile proved too much for the bird, which released its hold, dropping the snake on the workers. Only 6 per cent of the money spent on road building in 1930 was con tributed by the Federal government.
