CASE or JOHN KEYS ON TRIAL
Defendant Charged with Assault
with Intent to Murder.

The first criminal case called for
trial In the district court was that
of the state of Texas against John
Keys, who is charged with assault
with intent To murder. The case

ateIy after the eonvening of court.
There is large crowd of witnesses
and the case isevoking considerable
interest. The circumstances OF the
difficulty from which the case origi-
mated are known TO the readers of
this paper, but brief summary
of the facts might prove of interest
just at this particular time. John
Keys is a young farmer, who lives
In the Ozro community. One night
last fall magic lantern show was
given at IA school house near Ozro.
Ed Durreft and several friends were
there. After the show a difficulty
of some kind came up; in attempt
ing to quell the disturbances Con-
stable Bentley was stabbed with a
knife. A complaint was filed against
Durrett, who in the meantime had
left the community. However, he
returned in a few days and came to
Waxahachie and surrendered to the
officers. He was indicted by the
grand jury last winter, but his trial
was continued until the present
term of court. Indictments were
also returned against Jim Newman,
John Phillips and John Keys, inn
plicating them with Durrett. All of
the above young men have borne a
good reputation In their community
and the result Of Keys trial is looked
forward To with keen interest.

fifty. At the present time he is a

 Their inability to distinguish between a 9-year-old negro boy and bundle of rags in the street, resulted in the arrest ssterday of Gus Todd and Ben Loper. negroes, on the charge of reckless driv- ings Tke two negroes form the crew of a baggage wagon and while driving on Alabama Street they ran over what they supposed was bundle of old clothes in the sand. It transpired that the bundle was small negro boy named. Tarver, whose leg was broken by the wagon.
 Todd and Iyoper were arrested by the police under Section sos of the City Code, which regulates the driving of horses Tn the city and which fixes punishment for reckless driving.
 The men declare that the boys leg was broken in an accident in which they were not to blame.

The others saw the baggage wagon coming ana ran out of danger, but Tarver was asleep Tn the sand and did not hear They say that a big dog which was lying near the boy got up and walked away as the wagon came up, and they thought that the bundle which was left was only 2 pile of old clothes.

MOTHER SECURED BOY
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN Wo-
 MEN IN A JUSTICE COURT.
Mrs. Crawford Left Her Child sWith Mrs. Ward and Went to Court to Secure His Pos
 session.

Through the benevolence and great heartedness of Justice J. B. Fuller, re- concilia ton was affected in his court room yesterday morning between two wo- men who had few minutes before felt bitterly toward each other. Their bitter ness grew out of a controversy over the possession of bright faced. pretty baby boy just turning into the fourth year of his age.
 The controversy was between Mrs. Ju- lia Crawford of West End, mother of the child and Mrs. Lizzie Ward, also of West End, whs claimed possession of the little fellow because his mother had left him with her. Realizing the situa- tipn Judge Fuller took the case in hand, informally. and through his good offices the women reached an amicabfe adjust ment by which Mrs. Crawford secured possession of her son. Throughout the controversy the little boy played and prattled about the court, unconscious of the fact that he was the jewel over which the mother and her former friend wrangled.
 1t appeared from the evidence, that about two years ago Mrs. Julia Craw- ford came to Montgomery from Troy. Soon after she came here she left her lit- tie son with Mrs. Lizzie Ward who has acted as his foster mother since that time.
 Saturday. according to the evidence, Mrs. Crawford called upon Mrs. Ward and demanded possession of her child. Mrs. Ward refused to give the boy into the custody of his mother and it was shown that there was trouble between the women. Mrs. Crawford. however, se- cured the child but swore out a warrant before Justice Fuller charging Mrs. Ward with assault and battery. Mrs. Ward in turn tried to secure writ of habeas corpus from Justice Fuller for possession of the boy.
 The assault and battery case was set for hearing yesterday morning in the court of Justice Fuller. The Justice. us- ing his good offices as peace-maker. af- footed a reconciliation between the wo- men and it was agreed that the boy should be delivered into the custody of his mother.
 Mrs. Ward was loath to give up the boy and the parting between them was pa theuc Mrs. Crawford stood by the little fellow tightly clasping his hand, Mrs Ward threw her arms about the lit tie frame and kissed the baby face many times.
 Then the parting came. Mrs. Crawford and her child left the court room and Mrs. Ward returned to her home sadly regrctting the loss of the foster child who had entwned himself closely about her heart.

 The order directs that an officer or the day be appointed for each command to and en route from camp and commands that strict discipline be maintained.
 It forbids the carrying to camp Of cart ridges of any sort, blank or ball. A court-martial will be ordered for all vio- lators of this regulation.
 The order further says that under no circumstances will any person. not com missioned or duly enlisted be allowed to wear uniforms. bear arms or perform any military duty whatever, with the Alabama National Guard. The provisions of this paragraph is. especially designed to prevent visitors in uniform from at tending encamprnent at the expense of the State.
 All State property, no matter when is- sued, must be brought to camp. The ob- feet of the order to bring all equipment no matter how old to camp, is that all unserviceable property may be surveyed, condemned and repaired or replaced with new equipment.
 Two of the most important paragraphs of the order are as follows:
 'One of the most important duties of the Regimental Medical Officer is the sanitary inspection of the camp: this in- cludes a thorough and rigid inspection, at least once daily, of the company quar- ters mess hall, bath rooms and sinks; and the result of this inspection must be made known to the regimental command CT. Such sanitary regulations as they may recommend will be enforced by the commanding officer. At the end of the ercampment they will submit detailed report through the regimental command CT to this office, showing the number of men treated daily, nature of disease, his tory of each case. ard such other infor- nation as Is proper for the inspecting officer to embrace in his report to the Adjutant General of the Army.
