c ’erk S U pc r i Court or CLEVELAND COURIER Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County veg. xy, Nor 25.1‘ | Grand Jury Landing Many True Bills. The April term of the Superior court of White county convened at the court-house in Cleveland Mon d|v morning at 10 o’clock. Judge presiding. After deliver¬ ing the charge to the grand jury, and that body had retired to the room assigned them, the court pro¬ ceeded to dispose of some divorce cases before it. The criminal docket was not a very large one, and the business thereon was soon disposed of, some pleading guilty while others stood trial. The case of Jos. M. Miller ver¬ sus the Gainesville & Northwestern Railroad Co, was continued. 1 his is a suit brought by Mr. Miller against the railroad company tor alleged damages sustained in the removal of his residence off tire right-of-way at the time the road -was being constructed. Tbs case of Luther C. Smith against the Gainesville & North¬ western Railroad Co., for injuries •sustained while in their employ in a motor car accident, was compro¬ mised upon the payment of $aqo.to Mr. Smith .and all costs and attor¬ ney fees. For some reason the test case be¬ tween the G. & N. W. K, B ■ in conjunction with the Guarantee Committee against TV. R. Power, which was appealed from a Justice Court to the Superior court, was ■not turned jo by the Justice to ihe-Clerk of the Court, thus pre¬ senting the case from taking the i it was intened i| shouid/fhis <j| um ^e r j lof the subscribers to the X N.W. 'R. refuse to pay their subscrip¬ tions on a contention the railroad company failed to comply with their part of die contract by not operating a passenger train by the time they bad agreed to do, claim¬ ing that the train then being oper¬ ated was a mixed train. At the time the subscriptions were made fifteen citizens ofWhite coun¬ ty were required to guarantee the payment of these subscriptions by a given time, and upon whose shoulders fell the responsibility of complying with the subscribers con¬ tract, and the necessity of borrow¬ ing $10,000.00 last December to meet the unpaid obligation. The grand jury has been very busy attending to their usual duties and the thorough investigation of some charges of a very serious nature, and, up to the time we go to press, we learn that body has found between forty and fifty true bills. Possibly the most outrageous case coming before that body at this session of the court, will be presented by a family by the name of Martin from Towns county. They walked all the way through the rain and mud (with the excep¬ tion of seven miles out ofCleveland ) from their humble home. They came by the way of Tesnatee Gap, carring babies in their arms, for fear their mission hpre might be pome known, hence their lives en¬ dangered, if they attempted to prpss Urpeoy (Jap, About six months ago this family lived in the extreme northern por¬ tion of White county, and their home invaded by four young men. I who, they allege, shamefully and, criminally abused them, and that a very old lady, said to 9 § years | old is supposed to have died from the effects of injuries sustained.

Consolidation of Schools Wins. 1 he election held Saturday, April utli, to determine whether a majority of the patrons of White Creek an® new Bridge schools de¬ sired a consolidation of these schools, “resulted in a majority of live votes favoring consolidation. There were eighty votes cast in the election which was one of much interest, and', in fact, more than interest, was taken. So determined were some in their views that a fight was narrowly averted.

At the time the officers arrived bottles were sitting all around upon the ground ready to be filled, and when one of the party asked one of the officers how much he wanted, and was told that he believed he would just take it all, two of the party consisting of four made a dash for liberity. One got away and the other one was caught and brought back, being Corbin Ash, who along with the qther two, Jim and Raleigh Helton,were placed in custody.
