 Decatur, Ala, Feb. 17.-Applcation has been filed in the county court for the pro- bation of the will of the late Thomas Gibbs by Burns Vert, Thomas Vert and Annie Laurie Vert, heirs to the estate. Suit to recover the property will be entered in the name of Miss Annie Laurie Vert, she hay ing just become of age. The property in cludes s2 acres or land, upon which is To- cated the immense works of the American Oak Extract company and their tanneries A large number of the East Decatur res- idences are also situated upon the property reach close to $1 ,000,000. The property was sold several years ago by Mrs. s. T. Vert, the daughter of Thomas Gibbs she giving a quit claim to the land. By Gibbs will the land was left to Mrs. Vert, her heirs and assigns. The matter has created a big sensation here, as every one supposed the matter had been finally disposed of when the quit claim deed was given by Mrs. Vert.
 Benjamin Mathews, the Western Union messenger boy for New Decatur, was knocked on the head with an iron bar by an unknown negro today while Mathews was descending the steps of the Bond block. Mathews Is in a precarious condi- tfon and may not live, being still uncon- scious. No reason is known for the assault. Dick Stinson was held up last night about 11:30 in South Decatur and robbed by sev- eral masked men, presumably negroes. Stinson is a herder for the Louisville and Nashville, and also does a general mer- chandise business in South Decatur.
 He had just received his money at the pay car, and made a number of collections on his store accounts. The footpads re- lieved him of $267.S5, a number of valuable papers, his gold watch and pistol. No clue whatever exists as to the identity of the highwaymen.
