Creek. Limestone Creek, Cypress
Creek, Rockfish Creek and Maxwell
Creek. Remaining to be cleaned
are Nortreast Cape Fear River and

All work which was previously
scheduled should be completed

High water in the creeks has kept
crews out of the areas to be clean

delaying the completion date.

The sheiiff said no stones are be
ing left unturned.
At this writing no charges have
been made but investigators believe
they have the right man and soon
will turn up sufficient evidence to
prove it. Tile loci jail is being
closely guarded, however. Sheriff
Miller said, there have been no
threats of trouble.
A warrant for Faison is expected
to be drawn in a short tune. He
will be held in jail without prvn
ledge of bond until his case can be
tried in the next term of criminal
superior court which is set for
August 26th. He will be tried for
first degree burglary and rape
should charges be preferred. This
carries the death penalty on con
viction. As we go to press late this after
noon Sheriff Miller and the SBI
investigators are still out looking
for evidence.
