An Entarprising Lawyer.

CHATrANooGA, Feb. 25.-Alinost every day
brings new revelations in the case of o. p.
Adams, the attorney wanted for horse steal
ing and who left the city The first of the we K
a few hours ahead OF an officer. Adams
came here six or seven month ago and began
the practice OF law in way that brought
upon him the contempt of the attorneys at
the bar. lie never got outside the Justice
courts. Owing to the peculiarities of Ten
nessee law it was easy to stir up agitation
among certain classes. and Adams put in
his time doing this As soon rs he got the
parties in court he proposed compromise
and secured fee from each side.
On Monday he was recognized by Sye VIII
liams as much wanted horse thief from
Florida. Adams got wind of what was COM
ing and fled. Since then investigation proves
that the fellow has stolen horses from the
gulf to the Ohio. and was here as the head
of an extensive gang operating now in South
crn Tennessee and Northern Alabaml.
From this city he could direct their move
ments in security. Ii is thought a number
of horses which have recently disappeared
in this vicinity were stolen by him or his
pals. \ heavy reward will be offered for his

business visit to Hot Springs. In con-
versation with him yesterday, Pioneer
reporter was informed that the + +. &

field at Hot Springs running lines preli-
minary to building a spur to that point.
An impression prevails that a branch
will also be constructed to the Red
Canyon coal mines. Movements of the
b. * NJ. are said to be closely watched,
the Elkhorn company proposing to hold
the advantage it has AZ first in the field
and anticipate projects of the former
road This has created a belief that a
narrow gauge may be built to Custer
during the coming summer.-iloneer.
Possibly correct in part, bat it need
not be said, since it goes without saying,
that Custer has no use for narrow gauge
roads, nor is there man Of ordinary
| intelligence in the Hills who could for a
moment entertain the belief that any
railroad company having grain 70 judg-
ment, would contemplate the building oi
narrow gauge road into the heart OF
the great tin belt. No, Mr. p. should
have more carefully reviewed the situa
tior before committing himself of the
grossest ingnorance of tie subject, by
giving expression to such consu,umate
nonsense. Nothing short Of broad
gauges, and plenty of them will meet
the demand Of Clusters future require
