At meeting held yesterday morning at the State Capitol the Alabama Rail- road Commission adjusted a rate con troversy between the citizens of ozark on one side and the Plant System and Gen. tral of Georgia Railroad on the other. By the adjustment the citizens of Ozark secure a much lower freight rate on certain commodities from Montgomery than thy have heretofore paid.
 President John V. Smith and Associate Commissioner w. C. Tunstall Of Greens boro were present at the meeting and considerable routine. business was trans acted. Associate Commissioner A. E.. Caffee was said to be- detained at his home in Birmingham by illness.

 The Coosa River is now falling at all points, and the Alabama is falling at all points above seventy-nve miles this side of Selma.

OVER $50 FEATHER BED
Ridiculous Case Is Temporarily Set
tied in City Court

Yesterday the jury in the city court
brought in a verdict to a civil case for a
feather bed, alleged by the plaintiff to
have been worth So Already the costs
amount to nearly $50. The jury's verdict
directs that Sarah J. Bright be given the
said feather bed, if it weighs 90 pounds.
the weight she estimated the bed to be.
Thus there is left a wide range for more
lawsuits.
Both parties to the case were in the
court yesterday afternoon. Nathaniel Co
vault, one of the defendants, and a step
father to the plaintiff, is sick on the said
feather bed and was represented by his
son, !. n. Covault. The other party, de-
PENDANTS, are Alice Manning. a daughter
of Nathaniel Covault, and her husband,
George Manning.
The plaintiff testified that she had sent
the feather bed in box TO her STEP
fathers house for storage purposes. And
when later she called for 1t, she found a
isgraceful-looking. moth-eaten affair,
and refused to substitute the old thing for
her fine 20-pond feather bed.
The defendants alleged that the feather
bed Sarah Bright claimed weighed thirty
pounds, for they had weighed it. and fur
thermore, they had made the same with
their own hands.
There was displayed a great deal of
spirit on both sides of the case, and lC

BOLD ROBBERY COMMITTED
Burglar Steals $85 From A. D. Allen
While He Sleeps,


One Of the boldest robberies ever COM
mitted in this city was that committed
Sunday night at the home Of A. D. Al
len, 1877 Pattie avenue when a burglar
entered the room in which Mr. and
Mrs. Allen were sleeping and secured be.
tween $50 and SIS. The thief coolly took
a purse out Of Mr., Aliens trousers
pocket. took out the money and replaced
the purse in the pocket. Speaking of
the robbery. Mr. Allen said:
T expected TO so to Iowa Sunday
night and for that reason I had a large
amount Of money with me. Because of
the illness of my wife I was not able
to leave Sunday and consequently the
money was in the house We retired
about 10 o'clock Sunday night and were
soon sound asleep. When I got up in
the morning I found my trousers on the
floor at the foot of the bed. though
had placed them on a chair I supposed
they had fallen onto the floor and so
thought nothing about the matter.
After breakfast I looked into nv
purse 70 get some change for my wife
and j noticed that the roll of bills which
had been there the night before was
missing. 7 looked through the purse
several times and was so astounded by
the disappearance of the money that I
cid not hear my wife address me. She
had spoken three or four times
then asked her If she had taken
any money from my purse and she re-
piled that she had not. I then realized
that had been robbed.
on investigation we found the rear
window Of the hall. upstairs slightly
raised and concluded that the burglar
must have climbed up over the rear
porch and entered throt1ch .ba v,-s-,7,,--
The reason the burglar did not take
the purse but only the money, I think.
was that the purse contained some pa
pers which would identity him lie did
not disturb anything else in the house
besides the MONEY!

CAME AFTER
j. P, DUNN
Marshal ToIbert and Sheriff
King of Arkansas in the City.
CAN NOT BE MOVED
Prisoner Is Progressing Nice
Iy but in No Condition to
Travel.

United States Marshal Paden ToIbert
ana J. B. King. sheriff Of Johnson coun-
~. Arkansas. arrived in the city yester-
day afternoon. from Clarksville. Ar1an
sas. They came here thinking that pos
sibly J. P. Dunn, who is in the st. Fran
els hospital, was in a condition TO be
moved and they could take him back TO
Arkansas to stand trial for the murder
Of Sheriff Powers and his deputy and be-
ing implicated in the robbery Of the bank
at CIarksville
J. Z. Dunn is progressing nicely at
the hospital, but is still a very sick man. %
was the statement given to the Eagle
last night. He has a high fever each
night, and cannot be moved Tor several
days.
Sheriff King talked with a reporter for
The Eagle last night and said:
I do not believe any of this report
that this J. p. Dunn is the wrong man.
and that he is a gambler lie is the
man we are after. and he will have to
prove himself innocent of the crime Of
Tobbins that bank before we will believe
there is another Dunn in the COUNT.
We think this is the right man.
Now this fight among the officers here
" Aitte uot4i4lB 10 90 Win. AOur officers
captured the man and he is the man we
wanted. and we have the papers to take
him back to Arkansas with US: and that
IS what we expect to do as soon as he
Is vel enough to travel. We have spent
great deal of time and money workfne.
on this case. and We think we have the
man located who was in the fight at
Clarksviiie We have been in the south
looking up evidence against him. and
tracking him to this city where we found
your Officers had captured him for us.
We are not interested in the reward. All
we want is the man"
There may be another scrap between
the police and the sherifs forces before
the man is taken away from the hospi-
TAI. The police claim that Sheriff sim
mons last warrant was Illegal because
judge Harvey had recalled all of the
Warrants charging bigamy that had been
ISSUED from MS court. Marshal Schad
served the notice on Sheriff simmons af-.
ter the sheriff had served another warrant
charging bisamy. The chief OF police
then served his warrant charging the
man with being implicated in the Clarks-
Vile affair
Later IL has developed that the second
warrant charging Dunn with bigamv
was not sworn ont in the city court. but
before Steve Balch, justice of the peace
or Waco township II such is the ease
then proceedings VIII have 10 be brought
~ the justice court to get the warrant
thrown out, as it was in the city court.
Mr- Ioihert and AIr. King. after having
conference with Chief Burt last night
decided not to take Dunn back with them
st present.
