Sheriff Breaks tip Aliened Gam- I

Successful Itaid Saturday
Night.
Sheriff Hunter got an inkling
a few days ago that gamblers
congregated at a certain place
below Taxahaw in this county,
about 25 miles from the court
house, and drank whiskey and
gambled every Saturday night
l n * ?
aim ouiKiays. bo, as bed as
the weather wa? last Saturday
evening, Sheriff Hunter made
his way direct to that, place, arriving
there at 10 o'clock in I ho
night. As he walked quietly
up to the door of Aaron Mungo
lie heard cur-ins; over the cards,
lie demanded tha' tho door be
opened,which wi e promptly doi e
There he found, at this negro
house, l wo negroes and oe young
white roan, standing oyer a deck
of cards, which were in front ot
the fire-place on the tloor. The
Slierilf told the parties that they
would have to go with him before
Magistrate John J. Rober's,
'o answer to a charge of disorderly
conduct; and i' they would
promise him that they would
i never bo guilty oi such conduct
again he would ;isk the Magistrate
to be as light on them as
he possibly could. They all fit ely
agreed to this, and the white
man threw the cards in the fire
and burned them, and &aid that
he would never plav another
I card. The sheriir carried the
Itlivoo ? ?%? ? ~* '
...?u uio'i i/v:igra 1\0berts
and told him ubout their
pioaiise to quit their bad conduct
and asked htm to put a light tine
on them. So the good-hearted
magistrate complied with the
sheriffs request by making each
one pay a fine of $5.00.
It dtr.kes us that, tlie violators
of the law could soon be put out
ot business if each of the grand
jurors would ioiiie:i;her and ?.dlie'e
strictly to the solemn oath
which they have taken, which is
as follows :
"You shall diligently inquire
and true presentment make of
all such matt- rg and things as
shall be given you in charge:
tae Siaie's counsel, your fellows, '
it d your own, you shall well
and truly keep secret. You
shall present no one for envy,
hatred, or malice; nor shall you ,
leave any one unpresented lor j
far, favor, affection, reward,
or hope of reward: but you shall
present all things truly as they i
c<>me tp your knowledge, accord- I
iug to the host ol your understanding.
