HXLD FOR BURGLARY. jim Avery Attempts to Enter the Residence of Mr. R- F. Goodson and is Caught. Jim Avery, colored, son of Tom Avery, of this county, attempted to enter the resi dence of R- F. Goodson, on Green street, by way of a back window and with the aid of a ladder, at 12 o'clock Mon dav nijrht. This window is to the cook's room. As Jim's head appeared in the window the cook screamed, arousing" Mr. Goodson and other occu pants of the house. When Mr. Goodson reached the yard he saw Jim running" off and fired at him two or three times with a pistol, but failed to hit him. Jim had pulled off his shoes and left them in the yard, together with his walk ing cane. These he left be hind, as Mr. Goodson made it so warm for him that he didn't have time to get them. Jim made his escape down "Breakneck." A short while afterwards he told his brother John what had happened and John went to Mr. Goodson's to com promise matters," he says. John claims that he went to the house about 2 o'clock and rang the door bell; that fail ing to arouse anyone he went off; that he went the second time about 4 o'clock and in tended waiting- until Mr. Goodson got up, that he might talk the matter over with him. Mr. P. B. Brittain, who lives near by, says he heard a door hell ring about 2 o'clock. However, about 4 o'clock John Avery was arrested in the edge of Mr. Goodson 's yard by Mr. L. A. Ward. A watch had been set up for Jim, who, it was thought, would return for his shoes and cane. John was arrested on the belief that he was an accomplice and had returned solely for the pur pose of getting his brother's shoes and cane. John told where his brother could be found and the two were placed jail. John, however, was releaved about 9 o'clock Tues day morning, as further inves tigation and the good character John has sustained caused the belief that his storv of his own actions was true. Jim had a hearing before Mayor Mull at 2 o'clock Tues- lay afternoon. Mr. A. C. Avery, Jr., appeared as coun- for the defendant and Mr. T rr. A- 1. Avery conducted the prosecution. Jim admitted B vi Morganton last summer, going tu Asnevme. He has been Married about five months. is wife is now in that city. came here last S He says he was in the habit last summer of visiting at gnt a Kincaid negro woman j at Mr. Goodson's. Hethought ... tins woman was still there. ut since Jim went to Ashe lle Mr. Goodson has chanced cook's, the present one being negro woman by the name of Chambers, who did not know im very well. He failed to send in his card and hence g-ot into trouble. Jim was bound to the next term of the riminal court for burglary, without bail. In order to clear himself of the charge of evil intention in g-oing- to Mr. Goodson's, John Avery asks us to publish the following: We, the undersigfned, have known John M. Avery for some time and believe him to be a negro of good character and his statement as to his ntentions in going to the home of Mr. R. F. Goodson on Mon day night, namely, to try and compromise matters tor his brother James Avery, we be lieve to be true and that he had no evil intentions in mak ing such visit. F. B. Brittain R. F. Goodson Mrs. R. F. Goodson R. L. Clay well S. R. Collett B. F. Davis A. A. Connelly. QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes. August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else tor Indigestion or ituious ness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. Thev used August Flower to clean out the svstem and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the actiou of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic actiou of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other acnes. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serius the matter with you. rorsaie bv John Tull. PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.
