The property owners along Hinton AL | ley are still stirred up over the Western putting in track Colonel Wickersham of ha PQiIrnQd of Alabama, had an understanding with the | property holders to the effect that he 1 would not attempt to put the track down I at night thus taking advanage of them 1 and he carried out his agreement. He | was aware of the fact that the matter would have to be brought to the atten' | tion of the Courts and the question set | tied in that manner so he put two wag ons to hauling ties and four or five mer | to laying the rails yesterday morning thus giving a chance to get out the in junction. which was promptly done by thu | attorneys of the property holders Som' few rails and ties were laid after the in junction was served and the Westeri promptly took them up, when their at | tention was called to the matter.
 The case Is now in the hands of tho Court and a long legal fight may be ex pected. The day has not yet been set fol hearing the case. but it will come up in side of a week. The general public i: taking a great deal of interest in tho question and sentiment is very much di vided. The property holders in the resi- dent portion of the city do not want the track so close to them while the business l men further up town want it, so that they can unload freight at their back doors Others object to the track being run IT | the alley because 1t gives the Western the exclusive right to the alley, to the exclusion of the Southern and all other | roads.
