PROPERTY SOLD IN

One Hundred and Sixty Plots
 Go Under Hammer
RESULT OF INJUNCTION
Citizens of Tuexedo Claim They Are illegally Annexed to City and Should Not Be Forced to
 Pay Tribute.

Fnslev, August -(SpeciaD-Real estate which represents an assessment or moro than 800 in city taxes was sold at the city hall in Ensley this morning by city Tax Collector F. c. Fonville by order or City Clerk L. H. Pennington.
 One hundred and sixty pieces of prop erty. over 300 city lots, were included in the sale.
 This property lies in the Tuxedo division of the city. which is involved in suit at law in which it is contended that the territory mentioned was annexed to the city by an illegal and irregular act of the legislature at the last sitting of that body
 r. B. McWilliams one of the property holders in this section, secured temper ary injunction in the ehancery division of the city court of Jefferson county yes terday restraining the city of Ensley from selling his property. Other property own CTS in the division are awaiting the final decision of the courts in this case, pre- ferring to allow their property to go to sale and redeem it later rather than pay the taxes assessed and possibly injure the effect of their contention.
 The protest of these people has gone to the courts in various forms before but has been thrown out on technicalities.
 A few whose property had been adver- tised for sale came forward this morn ing and paid the taxes with cost of ad vertisng under protest. Others seem de- termined to have the law changing the city limits so as to include their property thoroughly tested and the case promises to become notable one before it is fin ally disposed of in the courts.
