UuleiKii. April 2S,-A meetlug ot the- Police Commission- was held today to hear preliminary proceedings on the harge against, t'ornur Chief of police Junius Milling.. 1 lie session did not last long as the attorney lor Mul iins asked tor further time in which to answer the charges. He wa not present himself. The police comm.o ilon adjourned the hearing until to morrow aiid it is' pot positive it v:u be heard even then. This case ' Ii.i'j attracted a vevy great deal of atten tion all over the state, the suspension jf chief Mullina havinr; followed ratli sr quickly after the mutilation of hla entry boul.s or cash books which kept with a pencil the fines and penaltier, ollecT.od. these having been iniiiojio.i 'y the Police Justice. With financial natters lika these the police cnnimis iion has nothing to tin, lis entire au thority being over Hie personnel or the police; in other words their rcg ulation, etc. DETECTIVE WORKED ON CASK A deteclive was here and Keciirei.' what evidence be could as to the mu tilation ami an expert came from Hal;; more and &'U4 vvthe "hooka ott'n. :hlef of police and also over that of the police jur.tice, both of which wen mutilated. The entries of the tints md penalties In the books of the po lice justice were in ink and the very adroit, who obliterated the figures showed very great skill in doing this. Instead of making pen maras all risii! ingles to the ftgures,Jie began at tne top with ink, and making a series oi sweeping circles, close together worn ?d towards the bottom of each group of figures, this piling up the ink ci course and utterly obliterating cvorj hing. It is the general belief and ev erything seems to point 'to the fac: hat two men engaged in this worn and that it required two or two and n half hours of the time of each t,o do it. In the case" of the record of tin "hicf of police ink was not used at ill but with n wet, cloth of some roui; J material like trash or burlap, th' narts .of the page where the figure werp rubbed up and down. RELYING ON CIRCUMSTANCES Some of the threads or tne ciou. used remained here and there. When found this book was wet, and wha.' figures remained looked much darkei ihan they did when the book dried, rm then a grout many ucver showed at all. Thus the naltlmore exiert wa. able to get very little Indeed on or this book and practically nothing on: of the police Justice. In both casts the persons who did the work went back several years 'to almost exacti the same date. Thus it will be seen bow difficult It is to trace the crimi nals. THINK IT CONSPIRACY A great many people believe thn the work waa done by personu who had a grudge agaltiHt the chief of Uie police and deemed It a good opportuu ity to hit him a heavy blow. Some think It waa done by over xealom friends of hla, animated by a desin to make It apimar .that those wtio were-opposing and the city, ailmlms (ration had done the work. ...

A SURE REMEDY FOR HORSE COLIC Colic in horses is a very commo disorder. More valuable horses die every year from colic than from any tlier complaint, simply because they have not been treated properly. Sloan.- lire Colic Cure is a safe and sure remedy for colic or tympanitis. It. ac;s instantly on the stomach and boweT and gives immediate relief. Mr. J. Albert Pahlnian, Pocomoke City, Md., writes: "Last November your fever Remdy saved my Perc:i- eron S'.-illion Jumbo. He took si n on the cars the first day out; and on May 31st Sloan's Sure Colic Cure sav ed a fine work mare, but it took f.ve hours to do it. It waa a very bad case.. I Jjave used It on a grea't, many horses for others and it always brlij?s the results." Dr. J. E. Neal, of Plymouth, N. C, writes: "A gentleman brought me his horse last Thursday night.
