 feited at That
 Time.
INSPECTION 10 BE SOON

Gadsden. April 1.-tspecial)-Ne de- yeopments are soon to be made public in the local military muddle. Charges of very grave nature have been filed against Capt. l.. B. Rainey by Quarter master Sergeant II. Clay Leeth, and these charges were sent to Birmingham some ten days or more ago, but so far they have not been heard from. These charges will be made public in a short while here in Gadsden unless they are given out at headquarters.
 Captain Rainey has also filed counter charges against Quartermaster-S Sergeant H. Clay Leeth, but these do not amount to anything serious, they were made from the fact that Mr Leeth had writ ten letter to Adjutant-General W. W. Brandon. A gentleman high in military matters of the state was in Attalla few nights ago and sent word for MT. Leeth to come and see him. The military muddle was discussed and a compromise was sought by this gentleman but no overtures were held out for a peaceful settlement. The matter has resolved itself down to one of two things-every member of the old company must either get out or Captain Ralney must get out
 The inspection of the company is to be held here on the 18th, and it is not known where the members will come from to be inspected. According to Captain Rainey all the old members have been courtrnar- tialed and dismissed and the members say they will not have anything to do with the muddle in it's present shape 1t looks like the charter of Company c will be lost on the 18th when the com pany is to be inspected. Both the old and new members will put in applica- ton for the charter and permission to form new company state militia man has been quoted very freely as having stated that the recent secret eourtmartials held here, in which thirty members were dismissed on trumped mp charges, will not stand Matters seem to grow worse with Company instead ! of better, and the outcome will be watch ed with great deal of interest, as Com pany c at one time was the crack com pany of the Third regiment.
