AN OLD GRUDGE.
Existed Between Officer Torrence and
Mr. J. A. Porter.
3 J-hK Chlotte firemen who visited
Salisbury Labor Day are very much
Ta J?Ic mn treatment" of ex-Constable
rend by Plice officer Tor"
nrTSpaking of the trouble today one
or the firemen states that Officer Tor
rence struck Mr. Porter not on account
of what he was doing Monday night at
the station, but because of an old
grudge.
Two years ago when the Charlotte
firemen went to Salisbury Constable
Porter (for he was then an officer) and
Policeman Torrence had a difficulty
and the Salisbury officer came out sec
ond best. This has always nettled Tor
rence. and knowing that Porter was not
the man he was two years ago, the
Salisbury officer thought he would
have it out with him.
At the investigation held yesterday
in Salisbury before Mayor Boyden Of
ficer Torrence was suspended from the
force for 30 days.
In speaking of the hearing the Salis
bury Sun says:
"Mr. J. a. Porter, a member of the
Charlotte reel team, was billeted by
Officer Torrence at the depot last night
to the extent that he had to call upon
a surgeon and have a scalp wound
dressed. Dr. E. Rose Dorsett took five
stitches. Today at 2 o'clock Mayor
Boyden held an investigation of the af
fair at which both Mr. Porter and Of
ficer Torrence were present.
"Engineer A. H. Pool, a witness, was
examined. At the conclusion of the
hearing Mayor Boyden announced that
he would suspend Mr. Torrence from
the force for 30 days."

Indians In a Collision.
Two wagons heavily loaded with
Catawba Indians were passing up Try
en street this morning. Just as one of
the wagons passed in front ofTheNews
office the horses became frightened at
an electric car. They backed the
wagon across the street and ran into
Dr. John C. Montgomery's buggy,
smashing one of the wheels and other
wise injuring it.
As soon as possible the Indians put

A Monster Turtle.
Sam Moseley, colored, is not con
sidered much of a fisherman but he
landed a 60 pound turtle at the Park
pond yesterday afternoon, all the
same.
This monster turtle has been bask
ing in the sunlight of Latta Park lake
for several years. It has been feeding
on the fish that a number of local fish

catching the giant turtle, is the more
