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.

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."
