"0lD SlEUTH" BRUMBY.
Even Sherlock Must Yield His Crown to a
 Montgomery Reporter
10 The Age-Herald.

Special 10 The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Oct. 1.-The public here has great joke on the Montgomery po- lice.
 IA negro was killed and bulied here two weeks ago, and it remained for a reporter of the morning paper to de- velop the crime and dig up the negro. That is where the joke comes in. AS the reading public wtll readily compre- bend, crime that Montgomery repor:- CT could locate in two weeks is bound to be "dead easy' of aEcertainment.
 "Oh Sleuth'' Brumley did the work, according to his papers account, but she afternoon papers reporters claim they developed the story, and did all the hard work, while Brumley only did the digging.
 Oscar Gillis, Marks & Kohn's negro porter, has been missing for two weeks. Yesterday afternoon the evening paper contained story of lls mysterious ab- sence, and developed the fact that he carried Hundred dollars or more on his person It also called attention to the fact that Joe Glover, H. Wel's negro butler, who rocined With Gillis in one of Mir. Wells servants rooms, had left the oiiy without apparent cause. It sug- gested foul play and connected Glover with it. It is said that an examination of Gillis' and Gloyers room indicated a murder had been committee there. Last nighh the morning papers reporter punched around in MT. Wells garden until after midnight. He found a soft spot. He and some negroes dug irto it and soon brought to the surface the body of GilEs which had been buried for two weeks. The coroner was called and empaneled a jury, which has been en- gagged today hearing the evidence in the case. The coroner ,k the case under advise,nent until tomorrow.
 Mr Brumley is receiving the congrat- nations of all of the people. He occupies the unique position of being the only reporter of the morning paper who has eyer discovered anything new.
 Glover's whereabouts appear still to be mystery.

A CLEAN SWEEP.
Marshal Bryan Clears His Office of Democrats
 Civil Service Not In It.

Special to The Age-Heraid.
 Montgomery, Oct. L-United States Marshal Bryan announced his appo.n.- ments for deputies tr this district to- day, and not a democrat is left ito tell the tale. II was a clean sweep, even to the man who sweeps the office. Civil service rules were not thought of, and the only question that appeared 10 have you a republican and have you been an ardent supporter Of ChaiICnan Vaughan and Third Auditor of dhe Treasury Youngb1ood?"
 The following are the new deputies who will hereafter look after the busi- nes1, of the office: Dr. E. H. Warren, of Montgomery; s. c. Samuels, of Morgan; D. e. Clement, of Montgomery; Joseph O. Thompson, of Macon; M. R. Slmms, of Dale; W. c. S. Robinson, of Randolph, and Leopold Simms, of Montgomery. These are all, and have been staunch re- pubHoans and are for the government, except MT. Simms, who is populist, but he MIas indorsed for the place by the chairmen of all the political parties in the state, the republican, democratic, populist and prohibition. He is Jew.
 The records here show that the marshals office in this district distribut- ed last year $S4,o0O, most of which was expended in 'Cnoonshine" cases.

Perpetrator of the Foul Crime in la and Guarded by the Sheriff and Strong

Special to The Age-Herald:
 Chattanooga, Tenn.,soct. Miss Viola Monday, the 16-year-cld daughter of a wel-to-do farmer living five miles from Knoxville on the Clinton pike, was cTimi- nally assaulted this morning about ! o'clock by an unknown negro.
 The girl had gone to a nsighboring farm house about a mile away and passed through a dense growth of woods on the way. She did not return as quickly as she should have done, and her sister went in search of fsr. She found her lying in the woods, near the roadside, her head bleeding. tani's and feet tied, and mouth gagged She was unconscious and was carried home, where she soon revived. She told hor- rible tale of a negro springing out upon her from the woods and before she cou.l cry for help, gagged her with a hand- kerdhief, and tied her hands and feet. The brute was frightened away by the footsteps of her sister in search of her.
 The sheriff eff Knox county was com municated with by telephone ard he im- mediately organized a posse of twenty deputies who secun;d dogs and went on the trail of the negro. He was captured this afternoon several miles away and taken to the county jail at Knoxville. Here the officers were met by a large crowd of inlfuriated citizens, but no at tempt at violence was made. The sheriff has put a strong guard around the jail tonight to prevent lynching. A large crowd has assembled and it is more than probable necktie party wil be the result,

The effect of the yellow fever scare for while was to tie the tongues of the citizens, but they are beginning 10 wag again as heretofore, ard it is thus cas- CT for the sealcher after news to get his souls desire.
 lHeins, the baker, was yesterday espied surveying the federal building with satisfied air Being questioned he said he had arrived at the Conclusion that the best way TO induce the armor plate board to locate arnor works in Birmingham would be to give them an office in the tower of the building, for they would be so enchanted with their constant view of the Magic City from that elevation that they would not fail TO gratify Bir- mingham's wish. Perhaps some persons win add ihe name of John E. Helms to the armor plate committed
 
 A group of men were chatting on First avenue. One of them was evidently farmer Another asked him how the po- litfcal situation stood in his neck of the woods. The farmer replied that folks out his way were in regard to politics mrfeh like the boy who was run over by calf. How was that?" queried the political news hunter Saying derned httle about i,," laughed the farmer.
 A little woman in crushed strawberry dress was waiting at Avondale for the car. She had gambolling about her feet little dog. A larger dog tried to strike up an acquaiatance wi,h the small pet which snarled it's disdain. "Sic, sic" missed the freckled-faced boy, owner of the big canine. The little woman's dyes III kill you," she snapped, setting her jaws like steel-trap. What man she would have made!
 There are two sam Mingeas. One is the popular clerk of the police court. The other is his 11-year-old son, who, when in town, is inseparable from his father, but who is now visiting his grandmother in Limestone county. Yes terday Sam, Sr., received a letter from Sam Jr., in which the youngster wrote Papa, I ask God every night to bring me back to you; has he told you?" Verify, the faith of that young theolo- gian Is strong.
 Young Mingea's letter made his father reminiscent, and he said that when a lad at Sunday school he heard a scholar pose the teacher, who had said that be- fore God created them there was no heaven and no earth. "Where was God, then?" queried the scholar and the teacher had to throw up his hands. Writing of the police court clerk re- minds me that about two weeks ago said in this column that I was informed that some policemen arrested people for trivial offenses in order that the usurers might get them into their clutches. As the great majority of the police force are every whit as honest and intelligent as those of other cities, it would doubt less have pleased them to have men who could be guilty of such practices ex- posed and removed from the force so spent much time and labor in investi- gating and sitting the matter. I have found that parties who represented themselves as able to have them ar rested have bulldozed ignorant victims of usury, but I have found as yet no tangible evidence to implicate any po- liceman in such proceedings. Personal and had grudge against the force. THE RAMBLER.
