to catch the boys when they are seen mo-

them a good humping.

LEGAL POINT RAISE
INSURANCE COMPANIES MAY
 HAVE EVADED LAW.
Defendant of Case in Anniston Con- tends That Corporation Have Failed to Comply With Ala
 abama Constitution.

A legal point raised in law suit in the City Court of Anniston affects every in- surance company in Alabama. If the contention raised bl the defendant is sus- 'tained. no insurance company in Alabama Is legally engaged in business.
 An insurance company brought suit against citizen of Anniston for the face of note made to the company. The de- fendant put in plea of no indebtedness. This plea was based on the contention that the company had not filed a copy of its charter with the Secretary of State as required by the provision of the Con- stitution in reference to foreign corpor- ations. The defendant contended that al- though the company might have filed copy of its charter with the State Insur- ance Department. it still had not com piled with the Constitutional provisions.
 The defendants plea was that only by the filing with the Secretary of State a copy of the charter could the company comply with the Constitution. Not hav- ing done this the contention was made that the company was not legally in bus mess in Alabama.
 The State Department of Insurance is established in the office of the Secretary of State and the Insurance Commissioner Is appointed by the Secretary of State Every insurance company operating in Alabama has filed in the Insurance De- partment copy of it's charter.
 Secretary of State Hefiin has sent to Annisron his deposition as a witness in the case.

ELLIS WAS CAPTURED
LowNDzs COUNTY NEGRO WHO
 SHOT WHITE MEN.
He is in Jail and All Danger of Lynching Has Passed-Messrs. Mitchell and Davis
 will Recover.

Fortune Ellis, the Lowndes Count negro who shot and dangerously wounded two white men has been safely lodged in the Lowndes County jail and all danger of violence appears to have passed.
 The Governors office was notified yes terday that Ellis had been captured ana that he was In jail, The further infor- nation was received from Sheriff J. w. Dickinson that he was fully able to cope with the situation and that he appre- hended no violence.
 Governor Jelks Is in New York, but he kept in touch with the Lowndes County situation.
 Ellis shot J. B. Mitchell and Will Davis with a gun loaded with buckshot. The two white men had gone to Ellis's house to see him about a missing bale of cot ton. The men were dangerously and 1t was thought fatally wounded.
 Private Secretary Jackson of the execu- tive office, however received information yesterday that the two men were not as badly hurt as was at first reported and that they would recover.
 It was thought that the negro would be lynched if caught as the people were stirred up by the crime. But this ap- prehension was banished by the safe ar rival of the negro at the Lowndes County 1ail

 The offense of highway robbery among the colored population, which has here tofore taken up considerable time in the grand jury, has been called to our att tention in only one case. and that was not of very serious nature.
 We thank Your Honor for your able and instructive charge; our Solicitor for his constant and able assistance; ONT bailiff. Mir. Whiting. for his courtesy and efficient services. and the Sheriff's office for his prompt execution of all papers committed to his hands.

SAFE oPENED-DooRs TAKEN.
Strange Experience of a Prominent
 Business Man.

Friday morning, prominent business man on Commerce street walked into his office and was very much surprised to find that his safe had been opened and the doors taken away. The porter was called in and questioned, but he could give no explanation of the matter. Con siderable excitement prevailed over that part of town when the story became known. In a few minutes, however, the entire matter was solved, when the pro- prietor remembered that he had 'phoned 943, the day before to Todd's Gun Store to send MT.

 FILES REPORT 128 True Bills Were Re-

 Investigated 1se
 / Cases. {.

The grand jury of Montgomery County yesterday, after two weeks seNsion. made its final report to Associate Judge William H. Thomas of the City Court of Montgomery, and was discharged by the court
 One hundred and eighty-nine cases were investigated and 128 true bills were re- turned, about the usual number of indict- ments. None of the indictments, 1t Is un- derstood. is of a sensational nature.
 The grand jury called attention to al legged abuses, by magistrates and con- stables in Montgomery, of the garnish- ment laws, averring that the employers of labor received no little unnecessary an- noyance therefrom.
 The grand jurors inspected the county jail and reported that it was well Kept, but thought that the structure should re- ceive more sanitary improvements.
 The road situation in the county was reported to be excellent A balance of $9,247.7S was reported in the County Treas ury and the bonds of all officers were found good and sufficient.
 The report in its entirety was as fol- lows:
 ITO Hon. William H. Thomas. Associate
 Judge of the City Court of Mont
 gomery:
 "The grand jury having been in session for two weeks, has finished its work, and instructed me to submit a final report.
 "The committee duly appointed to in- spect the condition of the county jail finds the same sufficient for the safe keeping of prisoners and that their con- dition and health are up to the usual good standing. The prisoners are well fed but sanitary accommodations of the structure should be improved.
