at the same time gets the

A STORMY TIME.1
In Greensboro Board of Aldermen
Meeting Mayor Sends Policeman
After Absent Members.
Special to The News.
Greensboro, Dec. 27. There was a
stormy, if not revolutionary session
of the Board of Aldermen here yester
day afternoon, the occasion being the
election of a city Attorney to succeed
A. M. Scales, resigned. The first bal
lot resulted in F. P. Bobgood, Jr., the
candidate of what is known as the
Scales or Law. and Order League fac
tion, receiving three votes while the
other three votes were cast. Ex Judge
Strudwaisk. one, Col. James T. More
head, one, Major C. M. Stedman, one.
Several ballots were taken, without a
change, when one of the Hobgood
three offered a resolution declaring
Hobgood employed as acting City At
torney, until an attorney is elected.
The three insurgents claimed that it
required a majority of the six before
any such contract could be made, but
upon a motion to adjorun failing pass
age by a vote of three to three, and
protesting against the resolution, the
three insurgents left the Council
Chamber, thereby breaking a quorum.
Mayor Murphy called again and again
for them to return, but they failed to
respond.
The Mayor then ordered the Chief
of Police to bring the members back
by force, but before the Chief could
get the force sufficient, but not be
fore' receiving reprimand from the
Mayor they vanished.
Chief of Police Neeley then summon
ed three of his biggest men and went
in search of the absent members.
These four invaded the Club rooms
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Asociation. but were told that the Al
dermen were not there, and that they
had no right of search of the premises
anyway without warrant. Mayor Mur
phy was communicated with,- it is
said, by phone and the Chief was told
to go-khead and search ndarrest if
he could find either of the members
and bring them before him by force
and without warrant. The officers
again searched the club rooms, and,
going the second time in a private
room where were United States Judge
Boyd, Dr. W. A. Lash and Col. John
L. King, were again told the men they
were searching for were not there,
and Dr. Lash arose from his chair and
told the policemen that if they didn't
get out of the club house and that at
once, they would be thrown out in
short order. By this time at least 20
club members had gathered, and a still
. further exciting time was avoided by
by the incontenent retirement of
the four policemen. y
There is as much excitement tonight
over this episode as over the action
of the Board, as upon advice of the
present City Attorney Scales, they are
said to have passed the resolution em
ploying Hobgood on the ground that
a quorum having been once present,
the resolution was legally adopted.
What the Mayor will do to the Alder
men, if they ever show up, is now the
question.- -

ONE OF ABERNATHY FAMILY.
Stricken in Head With An Axe, But
Had To Give $100 Bond.
Only two cases were heard in the
Recorder's court this morning, and
only one of these was of any impor
tance. Joe Freeman and "Son" Abernathy
were charged with an affray. Aber
nathy is one of the family of negroes
who are in nearly every criminal court
held in Charlotte.
Monday night Freeman and Aber
nathy met and trouble followed be
cause of a vile epithet appled to Free
man by Abernathy.
Now Freeman is a one-hand negro
and Abernathy, knowing this, sought
to make him bite the dust. Freeman
showed pluck, notwithstanding his
heavy handicap.
Abernathy made for him with knife
in hand and just as a door was open
ed Freeman let Abernathy have it on
the burr of the ear with an axe.
This quieted Abernathy and Free
man went his way. This morning in
the Recorder's court Abernathy told
his version of the affair. After ho had
related his side of the case, the Re
corder said:
"Your name is Abernathy, is it not?"
"Yes sir," replied "Son."
"Stand aside," said the Recorder.
"Son" Abernathy was required to
give a $100 bond for his appearance at
the next term of the Superior Court.
Nettie and Elsie Clyburn were be
fore the court charged with an assault
on Lonnie Cullock, Nettie was dis
charged and Elsie was made to pay
the costs, 3.75.
A Joyous Occasion.
There was a joyous and merry gath
ering at Dr. arid Mrs. Sam A. Grier's
yesterday at the family reunion. Those
present were: Rev. J. Mercer Blain,
wife and three children. Daniel. Mary
Grier and Margaret Cary Blain ; S. An
drew Grier, Jr., and wife. Mr. C. N. G.
Butt and wife. Mrs. William Gaither
Hall, (Mr. Hall was unavoidably de
tained), Misses Mary Gilmer. Evelyn
and Anna' Burwell- Grier Master
Thomas Grier. A large Christmas tree
had been tastefully arranged, and
loaded down with presents. Many pres
ents came from Mr. and Mrs. Blain's
large family connection. After prayer
the tree was bereft of its beauty in a
short time and many hearts were made
glad. At dinner, which was elegantly
prepared by the hostesses' two daugh
ters, thirteen sat down to enjoy the
same. It was a day of delightful pleas
ure and may the memory of it never
be forgotten.
BANQUET ON TRAIN.
Novel Christmas Entertainment is Pre
pared for Newspaper Men.
Ogden, Utah. Dec. . 27. The forty
eastern newspaper men who, returning
home after their ride on the initial run
of the new Los Angeles limited train,
were entertained in a novel way to
night at a Christmas banquet given on
the train by the Union Pacific officials
after the train left Salt Lake.
Alfred Darlow, advertising agent of
the Union Pacific; A. C. Thomas, of the
Associated Press; Will J. Davis, the
Chicago theatrical man., and E. L. Lo
max, general passenger agent, made
speeches.
The banquet aboard the train had
all the features of a formal dinner,
evening dress being worn by all pres
ent .and the function is said to be
unique in the annals of railroad ser
vice. Christmas day was spent on the
train whirling over the Death Valley
at a rate of fifty miles an hour ,and
despite three hours of delay
due to
joint trackage in Southern California,
the train easily arrived at Salt Lake
this afternoon eight minutes ahead
of time, making the run of 789 miles in
twenty-six hours. At Salt Lake a few
of the party left . the train for stop
overs ,and a number will go to Denver,
but the majority will ride into Chicago
Wednesday morning.
Chronic kickers never realize how
foolish they really are until the reac
tion begins to get busy.
