Rawlings principal, and D. C. Ashley and W. T. Lane, bondsmen, for the $1,200 bond /Jlhat Rawlings was under to keep the peace when the Carter chil- Jren were killed. It will be remembered that W. L. Carter swore out a peace warrant against J. G. Rawlings a day or so before the tragedy and he gave the bond, Messrs. D. C. Ashley and W. T. Lane going upon It. It Is under stood that Rawlings secured them and the case in court Is simply to give legal directions to the payment of the $1,200, which, ?t Is understood will go to W. L. Carter. It Is possible that the payment of the bond may be contested on the ground that W. L. Carter was not hurt by Rawlings, but that would amount to very little, as the bond wa3 fixed to make him # “keep the peace" and the evidence In the case so far shows that he did not do this, The following are the declarations In the case as prepared by Carter's attorney, Col.
