The only criminal ease on the docket of any general interest wa.s that of Asherv Bates charg ed with obtaining' $150 from the Hank of Moiuit Airy by. false pre tense. Bates is an interesting char acter and the story of his life is out of the ordinary. He is the only son of the late James Bates, eoiuity. lie was born and rear ed in 'the country a few miles west of Dohson and when his father died he was left with sev eral thousand dollars worth of property including1 a good farm. Being an only son he had such opportunities as other young men have in his .section and they say he has a very good education ami is a splendid scribe. Early in life he showed tendencies that were not for the good and prov ed that lie was disposed to be a worthless' character. Before many years after he reached the state of mnahood he was entangled in various ways and was unhappily married. He was charged with having" two wives and now has three wives, some of whom he claims to have been divorced from. Seme years ago he was charged with forging checks, and, about that time, he stole a good mule from a citizen in his section and rode here to this city and forged; a cheek with which he lv ii''l.t a saddle ami then left the county. When he ,own in Yadkin he sold the mule it':d sad dle and skipped out for the west. He was soon located in In liana and brought back. i-Yr t his lie was tried ;md sentenced to the peiiit.'iitiaiy t'a i i- seven e:iis.
