Sallee to Face Two Charges in County Court
Havana Principal Must Answer to Charge of Court on Two Counts

J. A. (James A.) Sallee, principal of the Havana school, was placed under arrest Saturday afternoon and lodged in the county jail here on suspicion of having been implicated in the burning of one or both of the school buildings at Havana.

The arrest was made by Sheriff Gregory, following an investigatin made by a detective employed by Sheriff Gregory and the county board of public instruction.
