A PECULIAR CASE
Negro Prisoner Released as There Was
 No Probate Judge

Florence, January 23.-(Special)-A pecul- far case has arisen out of the death of Pro- bate Judge Mcclure and the delay in ap- pointing his successor. Two negroes, sent up from Woodlawn beat for twelve months each for stealing hogs, could not be held because the county commissioners had failed to renew the contract with 4!he min ing company which has heretofore worked the county prisoners. Learning of the con- dttlon, and there being no probate judge to make new contract, Saturday the ne- groes got out on a writ of flabeas corpus before Circuit Judge Almon and were dis missed under the Jaw.
 Judge J. J. Mitchell has received notice of his appointment as probate judge to succeed Mcclure. He has made bond and taken charge of the office and given up the race for auditor.
 The trial of Marshall Boyle, accused of the assassina ton of Mcclure has been set for Monday, January 29th, before Justice IT. D. Smith. He held the inquest, and Judge Almon, who was to hold the prelimi- nary trial, will be prevented from doing so by a term of court in Colbert county.

Geyacrs, Antipntbx Eor

some years Ego on unfortunate dis.
coyery for time menaced the tran
quillity and almost the existence OF
some Of the geysers in Yellowstone
park. The story goes that IN adyen-
turous Chinaman once essayed to use
the bowl Of cne Of the geysers for tho
purpose Of washing clothes, the tenn
perature Of the water appealing to his
oriental mind. Everything went we'll
until he began to use soap, when sud-
denly violent eruption seized the nm
parently innocent geyser, hurling
clothes and all into the mir. The ex-
pertinent was tried on other geysers
with similar results, and for n time #
was considered n great blessing. rs
when large tourist parties arrived it
was great convenience to bring on a
special display by "soaping the gey-
SER" as 1t was called, While before the
advent Of the Chinaman and his soap
some Of the most beautiful geyscrs Of
ten remained stubbornly inactive for
Gays and often weeks and months.
After time, however, 1t was dlscov
cred that this soaping was slowly but
surely harminS the gcyser action, "tir-
Ing them out" in fact, and thcrcupon
the government put n stop to the use
OF soap in the park In connection with
the geysers.

Then there was trouble for one small
