MONTEVALLO DEAL OFF
Mr.. DeBardeleben Says He Will Not
Take the Lands

The Montgomery Advertiser of yesterday
prints the following article in regard to the
Montevallo land deal:
1.-THE Montevallo land deal is off. Word
has been received here from New York that
Mr.. DeBardeleben has given notice there
that he will not take the lands.
.'The history of the sale is too we'll known
to be repeated Mr. DeBardeleben secured
an option on the lands donated to the Mon
tevallo school for girls by act of congress.
There are $1,000 acres of the land, and they
are situated in the Warrior coal fields. and
are thought to be worth much more than
IS per acre, at which price DeBardeleben
secured the option.
1.-THE reasons that the lands were not
taken have not yet been made known, but
1t is more than probable that the reason is
that the patents have not been issued.
There is probability of further action by
congress, and it may be some time before
the titles can be perfected. If ever, and for
that reason the action of Mr.. DeBardeieoen
is mainly influenced. 1t is very doubtful If
he can be made to forfeit the $500 which
he put up at the time he secured the option,
as the state cannot give him title.
1.-The lands given to the Tuskegee Indus
trial school were not included in the deal,
and it is more than likely that this had
something to do with the failure of the
other sale Now that these school lands
are free once more and at the disposal of
the school, it is Thought that the patents
will be issued without question, and some
advantageous disposition be made of the
lands without any further scandal or squio-
bic.
1.-The action of Mr.. DeBardeleben Will
doubtless be a great relief to all concerned
and more particularly to the friends OF the
xirls' school, The land commissioner prob
ably will grant the patents, and then IN CO.
oneration the two schools can make such
disposition of the lands as will be found TO
be the most advantageous. Ut Is hoped that
the school will get all that there is to be
gotten out of the lands, and that the land
yharlss will be steered clear of in the fu-

DESPERATE FIGHT
WITH THE YAQUI
Forty-eight Indians and Five
Soldiers Killed.
GUERILLASTYLE OF WARFARE
The Battle Was Between the Main Bod
les of Both ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Was Severe and Lasted Most
ofthe Day.
GUERILLA STYLE OF WARFARE

Austin, Tex, December Authorization
reaching here todaYsfrom Ortiz State of
Sonora, Mexico, states that Marshal Ter
hume, an expert mining engineer, who has
been in the mines in the Yaqui country for
some months past, arrived at Ortiz yester-
day and announced that since November Is
the Yaqui Indians and the Mexican mill
tary forces have had several severe en-
gagements, attended with loss of life and
a number of wounded. The first of these
engagements was on November IS. just
north of Cocori, and during the engagement
there were forty-eight Indians and five SOL
diers killed outright.
Tn addition to these there were two SOL
diers wounded and something over 100
squaws and Indian children captured by the
military forces. The prisoners will be sent
to Guayamas by the military authorities to
be held as hostages
The place where this engagement took
place is on the Yaqui river just at the very
entrance to the mountains. This section of
the country is very heavily wooded, and
hence the engagement was conducted on
the guerilla warfare order. as has been
most of the previous slsrmshes and en-
gagements.
The battle was between the main bod>es
of both factions The Indians were massed
in force and the soldiers had a very large
quota of men, Mr.. Terhune states that at
his mining camp, some distance from the
scene of the battle, the reports were mea-
ger but sufficient to show that the soldiers
had come upon the camp of the Indians in
the woods and engaged them in combat.
The fighting was very severe and lasted
most of the day The Indians were finally
put to flight, and this explains why SO
many of their women were captured, as
they retreated in dire confusion, and the
women became separated from the war;
riors
In addition to this enga gement there were
several others of minor Importance during
the week following that date, but no infor-
nation as to the result of the latter en-
gagements is forthcoming.

SHORT STORIES
OF THE DAY
Croker Fond of Animals

Richard Croker is fond of animals and
birds. He never takes a walk in Central
Park without stopping to watch the antics
of the monkeys, relates the New York
World
"Clausen," said Mr.. Croker to the park
commissioner one day recently, why don
you call that big black-faced monkey you
have in the menagerie Frank Moss?"

Just after the great Tammany victory of
1888 Mr. Croker and party of Wigwamites
went to Saybrook, Conn.,, to spend a few
days. Late one afternoon Mr.. Croker was
missed. He was hunted for, but could not
be found for nearly two hours. When found
he was a mile away from the hotel, perche 1

The Two Fads of Chamberlain

Long before the Transvaal trouble, the
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, present
minister of state for the British colonies,
was famous the world over for two things:
his orchids and his monocle, says writer
in the Saturday Evening Post. His costly
collection of orchids is one of the finest
in the world. 1t is said that once in Paris
he saw rare orchid, the duplicate of one
he had recently added to his own collection.
He asked the price.
Twenty thousand francs" replied the
dealer
The Englishman paid the money, and
then throwing the flower on the floor.
crushed it with his heel However reliable
this incident may be. the following Is
vouehed for. Since boyhood Mr.. Chamber
lain has worn a monocle. When the young
man first entered parliament his fame as a
municipal reformer had preceded him.
Among the visitors who were present on
that occasion were Lords Beaconsfield and
Carnarvon. The commoner had won his
election to the house by his vigorous oppo-
sition to the great conservatives methods.
AS he came into the chamber Lord Carnar-
Won leaned forward and said:
Here comes young Chamberlain
"Ah," replied Beaconsfield, as he took in
the young man from tip to toe.
'What do you think of him?
''He wears his monocle like gentleman"
replied the premier.

The Text Was All Right

A certain young minister was-as young
ministers are apt to do-very conceited
about his preaching; and when visiting
strange congregations he did not scruple to
fish for compliments in the most unblush-
ing manner, relates the Scottish American.
On one such occasion he was invited to take
dinner with a douce old elder-as reticent
as they make them. Manipulating the con-
vsnsation as he would. our young friend
could not get his host to say Sermon" and
at last he boldly Introduced the important
subject by remarking directly: THAT was
a fine text L had today" But the elder
knew his man. lou, ay, there's naething
wrang wi the text!'

New York, December 3.-Frank Erne, of

fight tomorrow night for the lightweight
championship of the world before the
Coney Island Sporting club. Erne is the
favorite in the betting, and both men are
said to be trained to the hour. That it will
be a good fight is evidenced by the way the
talent is divided in backing the men. Aside
from the heavyweight championship there

Albertville special to Gadsden Tribune.
Hon. John W. Tomlinson and Jess Stall
lings have been making a hard fight in a
house to house canvass of the county for
votes in the primary next Saturday. In a
fair, square, race on the merits of the two
men Colonel Tomlinson would have won
easily but demogogpery gets in it's work
in old Marshall occasionally as 1t does else
where, and enough of it has been injected
into the contention on the Stallings side to
give him the county perhaps.

In 1871, when he was 80, he was elected to
the Birmingham town council, three years
later became mayor and during his term
of office the city was visited by the Prince
and Princess of Wales. Everyone watched
anxiously for something out of the way to
happen, for Chamberlain's radical views
were. well known. However, he showed
such a reaiza ton of the dignity of MS OIL

THREE MORE TO HEAR FROM

From the Mobile News.
Two members of the board of trustees
of the University have declared that they
voted for the sale of a part of the lands
of the institution because they believed
that the sale was advisable and the price
fair If the other trustees who voted that
way are unwilling or afraid to make like
avewal and defend their action, they
virtually admit that the governor led them
by the nose.
