American Derby Looks Well.

With a reasonable amount of good
fortune in the development of candi-
dates, the American Derby this year
should be the greatest 3-year-old con-
test of the season by long odds. The
unofficial list of entries recently given
out is practically the list that will
stand when official approval has been
given. Nearly all, if not all, of the
winners of last years 2-year-old
stakes are candidates for the Derby,
added to which are the leading horses
of the east.

Alex Hatcher Insane.

Alex Hatcher. well known and popu- lar man, was sent to Tuscaloosa th's afternoon. his mind having completely given away. MT. Hatcher Is about S5 years of age and is connected with some of the leading families of Dallas County. Up to about three years ago he had been connected with the office of Sheriff of Dallas County. having served under R. H. Kennedy and J. H. Lumpkin as a deputy and at various times has been connected with Sheriff Blackwell's office in the same capacity.
 A little over two and a half years ago MT. Hatcher volunteered for the Phil ippine war and served for two years as a soldier. He made q gallant record as soldier and came home about eight months ago and was most cordially greet ed by his hosts of friends. But the SC were climate and hardships that he had to undergo uuder that tropical sun were too much for his delicate constitution and his health gradually grew worse. A lew weeks ago ne was admitted to an infirmary. but he grew so much worse so Sheriff Blackwell had him taken to the jail and provided comfortable room for him in the resi- lonce part of the jail. and he has been there ever since. But his mind has gradually grown worse and he has been a raving maniac for the past few days and it was considered best to have him sent to Tuscaloosa Tn the hope that the quiet and medical at- tention of the experts of that institution will beneit the poor fellow and If pos sible restore him to health.
 Alex Hatcher has friends all over the State and not a one of them will read the above without hoping he will pull through all right. He Is a man who a!- ways delighted to do favor for a
