City Sued in 42 Cases. The April term of Guilford Superior court for the trial of civil cases ad-journed Saturday afternoon, after a session of two weeks. During the term between 50 and 60 cases, most of them of little importance, were disposed of. There was no material reduction of the docket, however, for nearly as many new cases were In-stituted as were disposed ot during the term. Of the new cases placed on the docket tor trial, 42 are brought by property owners along North Buf-falo, the contention being that the city's swerage outlet is a menace to the health of the community and damaging to property. The Patriot was pleased to re-ceive a call Tuesday from Mr. Peter Brown, of Julian. Reoklngham Young Msn Attempts Suicide. A dispatch from Reidsville, under date of April 26, says: "John Har-vey Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. M Moore, a highly esteemed young man, who resided with his brother-in- law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hudson, on the Wentworth-Reids-vtlle road, attempted self destruction by firing a pistol ball into his body near the heart. Hemorrhages Indicat-ed his condition to be very serious fci several hours, but later reports show he is now resting comfortably and stronger hopes are now enter-tained for his recovery, though it will be several days before he is out of danger. YOung Moore was re-garded as a young man free from dissipation, and It is hard to account for his act. He stated to his sis-ter that he intended killing himself, an' sent an affectionate message to his mother, but Mrs. Hudson thought it all a Jest until a few minutes lat-er when she heard the report of a revolver. When his father arrived at his side after he had committed the act, the young man threw his arm around his neck and begged forgive-ness for having brought sorrow In his home." Harness Department.
