kingslree, April 2l.-.-The case of
the Stat" against j. w. Boddiford,
charged with the murder of his son.
Rob"rt, on the 23d Of last Decemb,.r.
took up all Of yesterday and this
morning. 1t seems that Boddiford
met several mombers of the Gains
family not far from his home on tho
night of tho day mentioned, and u
quarrel onsued, being superinduced
probably by nnfriondIy relations
which existed between the above
named parties. Both parties re-.
sorted to firearms, both pistol and
gun, and general meloa followed.
1t WAS discovered after tho shooting
that young j idiford, son of the do.
i"nd"nt, was jying dead with q bul
lot IN his head. Tho father, il seems,
dld not know that his son was nnv-
where about the place of the shoot
ing.
Most OF the testimony brought out
showed that 1t was Il general combat
b"tweon the several Guinaes ON ono
side and Boddiford on tho other
The bullet in young Bodliford'a
head WAS the san @ SIZE as the otbar
bullets that the defendant fired and
1t was testified that this was the only
pistol Of that calibrc in use
Messrs. Lee aud St. Amand repre-
scented the drfonso.
Af,er the testim ony was all in, the
arguments h"nrd ara tho iurv
charged, the jury retired, returning
IN about two hours with verdict of
manslaught"r. Jndgr Gage sen
fenced Bodd'ford to five years il tbe

G. W. Covirgton said it would add to Highland Parks indebtedness, and he was against the proposed measure.
 Chairman Bibb said he was utterly op- posed to annexation without qualified ton. He knew Of no advantages to be derived by annexation. He spoke of his long citizenship in Highland Park. and of his interest in the welfare of the town. He said the ci,izens of Highland Park should guard against being gobbled up on a proposition to aid in paying the back de bts of Montgomery.
 Forbes Liddell made fo-ceful speech. in which he said he didn't think the peo- pie of Highland Park unde. stood their position. He said the citizens should be more eager to pay 72 1-2 cents on improv- ing HighlandPark, under the present gov erLment than to pay that much more tax to Montgomery. He recommended the improvement of the sanitary condition of Highland Park above other things.
 MT. Liddell said that the water advant- ages, however, would enable the resi- dents to get better insurance rates. MT. Liddell added that he didn't think High land Park had been asked to be annexed to Montgomery.
 MT. Blob wrote resolution to the effect that the citizens of Highland Park were opposed to annexation. This resolution was withdrawn later however. MT. Bibb said the object of the meeting of citizens vas to decided whether they were oppos- cd to the measure.
 Mir. Jones spoke enthusiastically. and said Montgomery should improve her own constituents before offering to as- sumo the responsibility of improving those of suburban vicinitieS
 Let Montgomery pave and fix up the streets within It's own limits. then talk of improving ours," said Mir Jones. He said the thoroughfares of Highland Park are in better condition than many of those in Montgomery.
 Mir. Burnett said he was against the annexation proposition.
 Dr. Watkins then offered the resolution that commit tee to keep in touch with the proceedings of the Leg stature.
 The meeting was enthusiastic in every Particular. Mayor Tyler Goodwin was cot present.

 Performance.
 Had '"Ths Ssar Boa der" Company fea- tured it's ubiquitous and hustliug press agent. who SD successfully let everybody know the company he represented would visit Montgomery. the fairly good sized audience which saw the performance last night at McDonald's Theatre would have been better satisfied.
 As 1t was. the audience was not wholly displeased. The Star Boarder" is a vaudeville performance with a fimsy farce plot to give 1t the dignity of a name.
 From the ancient telephone skit to an antiquated Dutch-Irish sketch. the com pany did everything ever predicted in the past ten years on the vaudeville stage
 The music and few good vaudiviliians pulled the performance together, how ever, and the audience got in one or two good laughs, and the players a similar number of rounds of applause
 Charles Fl. Boyle who heads the com- pany is undeniably funny He sings a little, jokes little. dances a little, and has the faculty of making people enjoy themselves.
 With the exception of Miss Viola Ben- nett, who has a pleasing voice, Boyle was the only member of the company who made hit.
 Every male members of the compa ny plays some kind Of musical instrument. and yesterday fairly good hand paraded the streets and drew the audience for The Star Boarder."
