SHERIFF TRIES TO TURN OUT DEPUTY SHERIFF. Dyle Sticks W ores than fly paper. —Dirty Linen of Sheriffs Office now Being Aired.—“Con tracts” and “Sell- Outs” the Prin cipal Stock in Trade. Hall superior court, January term 1902, convened last Monday morning with Judge J. B. Estes on the bench. Solicitor General Char ters is on hand representing the state. The grand jury was organized with Mr. E. P. Chambers as fore man, and Mr. W. W. Cooper as sec retary. The folio wing bailiffs were «worn in to wait on the court: Jv K. Bucket, J. S. Lathem, N. C. Odell, P. E. Patterson and Prank Whelchel. Judge Estes delivered a lengthy charge to the grand jury after which that body retired to their room and began its duties. The civil docket was taken up Monday and is still being heard there being many civil cases to be considered. The criminal dock^ et will perhaps be reached today or Monday. -o - We kragroin^ out of busi ness and must sell pur large stock of goods at once. In ord.er to get rid of what we haYe, prices have been put down to the lowest notch, and goods will * be sold for what they will bring. Sheriff M. O. Gilmer has sought to discharge Deputy Sheriff J. A* Lyle, and has served him with no tice to vacate the. jail instanter. Deputy Sheriff Lyle retaliates by refusing to get out and drawing a contract entered into between him self and Gilmer when they com bined forces in 1900 and ran for sheriff and deputy sheriff to de feat A. J. Mundy. That was last week, and .charges and counter charges have been made by both since the row started. Las t Monday the January term of Hall superior court opened and Gilmer complained to Judge . Es tes that Lyle would not let him go to the jail for,prisoners andbad refused to vacate his office after he had ordered him to do so. Judge Estes thereupon took a hand in the g8me and instructed Gil mer co go to the jail, demand the keys of Lyle, and if he refused to do so to summon a possee and, if it took every man in Hall county, ariest’Lyl© and bring him before the court. f|Lyle heard What the Judge said and going from the court room to the jail, reached there before Gilmer and his crowd got there. When Gilmer Came up, he demanded the keys of Lyle, who requested a receipt from Gilmer for them, which was given. Lyle remains in the jail, but is bereft of all authority. He says he will not now get out of the jail until he is put out by legal process. Lyle will now institute legal proceedings against jGilmer for damages, etc. He has employed Cols. H. H. Perry/ Howard Thompson and P. M. Johnson. The fight promises to be an inter esting one. Lyle has a contract duly drawn, “signed, sealed and delivered,” with Gilmer which shows how they combined forces two years ago to defeat “Andy” Mundy for sher iff. The contract shows they were willing to make any kind of deal, “holy or ubholy,” to accomplish their purpose and, although they succeeded, they will not profit by it, for Gilmer has so far gotten nothing out of the office, and now he kicks Lyle out Aud the latter will get no more. The contract was to the effect that in consider ation of Lyle’s withdrawal from the race for sheriff, he was to run as deputy on Gilmer’s ticket, was to live m the jail and receive all fees and compensations arising therefrom, and was to receive in addition half the fees of the sher iff’s office at the court house. Gil mer was to be sheriff in name and receive half the fees from the courthouse office. Judging from the way thingsl have turned out, he hasn’t got much out of the job. Ever since; Gilmer and Lyle have been m office they have either been in a row with themselves or with some other citizen or official. The people of Hall dounty have been more greatly annoyed since the present regime’bas been in the sher iff’s office than they ever were be fore.
