Mr. J. M. Miller Wednesday
evening, upon his return from duty
as rnral carrier, was approached by
sheriff*Trotter who informed him
that he had a warrant for him,
charging him with the violation of
the stocklaw. It appears that a
cow belonging to Mr. Miller tres¬
passed upon the property of Mrs.J.
C. Turner Tuesday, and Mr.Turner
put the cow in his barn, notifying
Mr. Miller in writing to bring a
dollar and come and get his cow.
Upon Mr. Miller’s return home
Tuesday evening he was given the
notice, ate supper which was await¬
ing him, and went over to get his
cow, but was unable to arouse any¬
one, he says, and returned home.
Next morning, after lie had fed the
stock, cut stove wood, and being
told by his wife that if he was any
account he would go get the cow,
he again went over to see Mr. Tur¬
ner but couldn’t awaken him, and
went to the barn and turned her
out. A few hours afterwards Mr.
Miller offered Mr. Turner a check
for the amount, but it was refused.
Mr. Turner claims that Mr. Miller
did not come to his house and call
him, but that he went to the barn
about daylight and turned the cow
out and drove her home. The
preliminery hearing was set for 9
o’clock Thursday morning before
Justice Oakes, but Mr.Miller waiv¬
ed trial and gave bond for his ap¬
pearance at the April term of the
Superior Court.
