NEWTON BACK TO JAIL
JUDGE THOMAS HELD HE WAS
 WITHOUT JURISDICTION.
Alleged Slayer of Sam Lacy Appear ed in Montgomery Court, But
 Was Ordered to Be Return cd to Wetumpka.

The habeas corpus proceedings of Harry Newton the alleged murderer of Sam F. Lacy, who was killed near Wetump8a several weeks ago, was held py 1uose William H. Thomas. presiding over the criminal division of the City court oI Montgomery to be out Of the J,,, Jurlsu,cuSm of the court. Newton was accoroihsH remanded to the Fillmore County Jaii.
 Newton last week applied for writ or habeas corpus on the ground that he was being unjustly held for a crime or wnicn he was not guilty. He set out Tn ms writ that he had a preliminary nearing before D. D. Askew, Justice Of the Feace of Eimore County and in that nearing no evidence was introduced which showed that he was in the least guiity oI the murder of Sam Lacy.
 The petition was presented to Judge Thomas, on the ground that Judge Jonn G. Winter, presiding over the Juoicial Circuit of which Elmore County forms a part was at that time holding court in Autauga County and could not near tne case.
 The case was called in the City Court room in the Montgomery County Court house yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. number of witnesses and spectators rom Elmore County as well as large num- ber of spectators from Montgomery, crowded the court room.
 The petitioner appeared perfectly calm and indifferent, as he sat in the rear of the enclosure of the court room between his attorneys anl near his two employers, John G. Crommelin, Jr., and Henry Crom- melin. He Is a small man and is pecu- iarly sallow looking. He would not have been recognized as one, who had fought two desperate hand to hand bat ties with larger opponents and in both in- stances came out victor. ........
 As soon as the case was called, Solicitor F. L. Tate of the Fifteenth Circuit, moved that the writ be denied on a plea of lack of jurisdiction of the court. Soli- citor Tate argued that while Judge Winter was holding court outside or FL more County, he was still in the circuit and still had Jurisdiction over Fillmore County. Technical legal arguments were made by assistant counsel for the State and the attorneys for the petitioner. The speeches lasted nearly two hours.
 At the conclusion of the argument Judge Thomas sustained the motion of Solicitor Tate.
 Newton was taken back to Wetumpka yesterday afternoon. It is understood that no attempt will be made to further secure a writ, as the grand jury of FL more County meets within few weeks.

A PROMINENT BUILDING

For Many Years the Finest Structure

 The magnificent property now occu- pied and owned by Mir. B. Wolff, known as the Temple Stores" fronting sixty seven feet on Commerce street. and rum ming back one hundred and forty-one feet on Bibb street, is now offered for sale at very reasonable price, and easy payments.
 The building is constructed in an up-to- date style, being one of, the most sub- stantial and attractive structures in this city.
 In adjusting the damage resulting from the recent fire, the sound value of the building was appraised by three compe- tent contractors at price not very much greater than what Is asked for this mag nificent lot with the Improvements. The premises could be easily adapted for. most any kind of occupancy. Messrs.

as in millinery. the rumor runs that a financial panic among gownmakers and milliners of best standing and of highest repute is sure to follow this season. Ex- travagant beyond all former records to importing and well-established houses, whose profits are next to nothing when their pay rolls are deducted from running expenses have the past seasons been. Gownmakers in particular suffer because of this consistently fine lingerie hand work in vogue. To the wearer such gowns prove extremely perishable in many in- stances, and have made heavy demands upon very plethoric purses from the very start. No regrets will follow the elimi- nation of this style of trimming among the ever smartly dressed contingent. What

 hats. they have carried a heavy financial
 load which they are willing to have light

Sometimes 1t happens that even long residence in the older States of America does not wean women from outdoor work, as appears in Pennsylvania, where, among descendants of the Hessians and Moravi- ans of Revolutionary days, field labor is common among women.

Indian Nation.

From an Exchange.
Paint and feathers are not the only
characteristics of the Indian. In his
natural state he has many of the finer
qualities of the white man and few Of
his vices. His life now is simply
struggle for existence against great odds.
With the ambition and glory of the war
path and chase suppressed, his interests
are narrowed to few tn1ngs. His stole
ism, bravery and cunning have little OPP
portunity for display or applause. His
talk is of the glories of the past and the
pressing needs of himself and family. He
has a humorous as well as serious side.
On many of the reservations freight rates
are high, while the traders have to, carry
large book accounts over the year, making
necessaries of life expensive. Chief Run

reply was

In so great a combination, the Messrs.

Chicago Special: Having secured an
independent outlet to the Atlantic sea-
board by acquiring a large interest In the
Seaboard Air Line, the Rock Island
Frisco interests are said to be seeking
an independent outlet to the Pacific
coast This they expect to accomplish
by purchasing half interest In the
Santa Fe lines west of Albuquerque.
The Santa Fe people here doubt the re-
port and say that control of that sys-
TEN cannot be purchased in the open
market, nor is there any interest with
holdings large enough to transfer the
control of the Santa Fe road. While this
may be true, yet 1t does not preclude
the possibility of an interchange of Sc
curities between the two systems where
by the Rock Island might secure equal
rights over the Santa Fe tracks west OF
Albuquerque. Such an arrangement
would be of great benefit to both roads,
as the Santa Fe would no longer have
to meet the competition of the Rock
Island. and the latter would secure a
shorter line to southern California thar
it now has via Ell Paso and the Southern
Pacific.
