Wished Later to With
draw Charges
Ctoorge Saliba, about 25 year
old Was tb'm morning bound
over to the next term of Super
ior court which convenes here
next month under a cash bond
of flOO. George is married and
his wife says she can get the
money for him in Richmond.
' Qeorge Saliba came here
some time ago with una .uncle,
JMepa Saliba, who at the time
topeaed up a confectionery and
Mott drnik store on PoinKlexteir
atreeit. George clerked for
Ma uncle until last May.
; At that time George left
his nricle and found another po
sition. For some weeks the
elder 8ali,ba claims to have
been missing thingB from his
,tore. The place was left
locked up at night and would
be found locked up the next
morning but some times Saliba.
--claims serious " inroads had
been made on his stock.
When these occurrences had
grown more frequent and more
nofticable iMUbai determined fo
tplay, the detective. . ' (Last
t&Tinjiay. night he secreted him
self on the ,'atreet opposite
hi store and waited develop
ments. 8me;time after; mid
niit George Waliba came to
the store, stopped at the front
door, produced a key from his
pocket, and entered. His
Tiicle went around to the back
door and entered there, con
fronting the young man at the
ice box. ' He took him out on
-the street, called for the poliue,
and no officer being within
hearing, took his prisoner be
fore the authorities and had
him locked up.
Joseph iJllU, u countryman
ef the Balibas, interceded with
the young man's uncle not to
prosecute the case. After
some hours of persuasion Sa
liba agreed to do so but said
he would like to get about S35
"which his nephew owed him if
he would let him off. The
money was produced and the
ddbt cancelled. The elder
Baliba then went to Judge Saw
jer an(d asked if he might with
draw the charge against his
riephew but this request was
riot granted and Baliba was an
unwilling witness against his
nephew in court this morning
and asked the court to. deal as
leniently with the prisoner as
possible.
C. E. Thompson represented
the defendant and put lefore
the icourt the contention that
the elider Saliba had permitted
George to enter the store' at
will and set this trap for him
in order to make the young
man settle up.

ELIZABETH
BETSEY. BBVS
Make Many Friends While
Attending Fireman's
Tournament
ewbern, Aust ISt'tiesI
bly every fl reman fatlr diii'in
tournament week has matte &
number of warm friends, but
we doubt if any of them have
made as many as Messrs L. F.
Mann, Ken Davis and GL F
Zeigler, who are members of
the Elizabeth City Fire Company-
. The above named gentlemen
had no more than reached the
city before they began to min
gle anvong the New Bern band
boys and soon all three had
instruments under" their arms.
When it comes to blowing a
cornet Mr. Mann is right there
with the goods. The gentle
man kept the whole town ring
ing with the, different tunes,
but, alas, he struck a tune
that causol some little argu
ment among ome of the citi
sens. Some declared he was
playing 'Nobody Knows How
Dry I am while some others
claimed he was playing 'Nobody
Knows How,. Dry, They' Are.!
About ithe" timift" the" arjfwjaeiit
was at it hjjshest pitch, evqrf
one became convinced that urj
friend, Mr. Mann wa playing
'Nobody i Katrtwi How Dry ' They
Are', beoaune starting ' at
the Atlantic Fire -Company's
headquarters, .led by this same
cornet player with Mr. Davis
playing alto and Mr. Zeitfjlei
playing trombone, about thirty
or more able bodied flremen
from all over the State march
ed to the city "hall to the tune
of a 'dead march'. The first
eight firemen carried a cot sim
liar to one used to carry the
lead, bearing an empty ibeer
( ?) bottle, while the bailance
of the procession were wiping
away their 'tears' with large
handkerchiefs of different
colors, mostly European colors.
New Bern is a dry town! The
boys realized they would have
to remain dry while in the city!
But back to the musicians
the music furnished for this
parade by the three Elizabeth
City bys was almost equal to
a ten piece band.
.li rnunual Timr
Messrs Mann, Davis and
Zeigler kept everything lively
wherefver they went with their
music While going from
the Elks Temple to Ghent
Park last night Mr Davis who
can handle a 'trombone about
us hmmI as any musician that
has .ever visited tNewbern, de
cided t show the New Bern
hanjl boys how he could run
the chromatic scales. After
making a few attempts he was
getting along pretty well run
ning up and down the WTalea.
when it seems, the street car,
'got the luabM' and began to
run 'snake fashion' for some
reason. When Mr. Davis
had -his trombone pulled out at
full length and was descending
the scales his slide came in
contact with an electric light
pole the slifle worked auto
matically for a whiles and 'all
went well until the, sljde was in
as far as it intended to go
when our friend Davis got. one
distinct note that never was
heard on a trombone before.;
Bome of the members of the
local band claim they found
Prof. Robinson on top of the
street car on his knees; while
others claim that he was wip
ing the tears but of; Managef
Stanlarid's eyes, who also is "a
professional trombonfst . The
others less excited went to in-v'-ti-'ite

'F. A. Crank and Sidney
Billups were both fined) five
dollars and half costs - by
Judge Sawyer in Poilice .Court
Sp turd ay morning.
This was the affray in which
Crank struck Billups on -the
head with a rock and the negro
still had a iatch on his " head
Saturday morning. .
and unknown note came from
and found Mr. Davis lying on
the back of the seat with part
of the trombone down his
throat. Mr. Davis did'.- not
seem any the worse from his
exjierience and assisted the
band in rendering the music
the balance of the evening at
the Park.
Mr. Zeiglei, who played the
alto with the home band, we
understand, is a professional
oornetist, but seeing the banp"
and plenty of cornets be show
ed his hand at the alto, and
had it not been for Mr. Zeigler
it wouldj (have been impossible
for the other two Elizabeth
City boys to have played the
'deadr march' as well as" they
did. However, Mr. Zeigler
has one weakness, accortling to
the local musicians he is in
clined to keep hia eye off of his
music in order to watch. the
young ladies. But, we under
stand from the other Elizabeth
City boys that it i i habit of
his that he has taken dfc him
self for quite ; number ? of
years and therefore it , could
be easily overlooked because
the music rolls out just, the
same. 1 , . ,
