EVIDENCE IN LlNDGREN CASE.
Fancy Moore Heard Pistol Shots Near
 the Bridge.

Tuscaloosa, April 3.-tSpecial. )-Mr. Fancy Moore, who lives out some dis tance from town. has given some more interesting evidence in connection with the Lindgren mystery here. MT. Moore who has rot been to town since the even ing before Iindgren disappeared, had not heard of the sensation until he arrived here yesterday afternoon. He says that he passed MT. Lindgren in his buggy about g o'clock of the night he was sup posed to have been murdered just on the other side of the river bridge; he claims that he recognized MT. Lindgren, and that he had on the oil cloth overcoat which was found over the horse the next morning.
 The theory lately had developed that MT. Lindgren was attacked at some other point on his return. probably before he had reached Northport coming toward Tuscaloosa. Mr. Moore further stated that he heard several minutes after pass ing MT. Lindgren two pistol shots. This statement strongly confirms the idea now that this foul attack was accomplished on the river bridge. Nothing, however, has been heard nor anything found of fering the slightest cue to the identity or whereabouts of the assailants.

Naming the Parks.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Reading with interest the suggestions wlich have been made in regard to naming the pAhsic parks located along Highland avenue, it occurred to me that these parks might best be distinguished by names denoting the locality, as well as some special feature of these parks. I do not think that it is in good taste to name public parks or streets after living individuals, however, rich or meri- torious or influential, they may be. The idea appears un-American and undemo- cratic.
 As the name of Halls park for one of these parks, I notice that the avenue leading to the club house at Lakeview Is already named after MT. Halls.
 Now, if the private owners of the Lake view property should see fit to name their park after one of themselves, the public would not reasonably object but with public park 1t should be differ ent. As to the name of MT Linn, that pioneer, who showed such faith in our future, 1t would be very appropriate to perpetuate his name ir some way, but the three parks along Highland avenue, all of them located in the concavlty of the horseshoe bends, need some names which will point out the locality.
 Beginning at Lakeview and going west ward along Highland avenue, the first park encountered is at Poplar springs and might be named Poplar park or "The Poplars" and poplar trees might be made distinguishing feature of It.
  is at the junction of Linden Hurst It might be named Linden park and beauti- ful linden trees. which will, as Colonel Johns has demonstrated grow there splen- didly, might lend a special charm. For thu next park think the name of "rhe Films" would be very becoming. since Elm street leads eastward towards and nearly to this park. Elm trees abound in it and might remain the special fea- ture. This park is traversed by a bold. babblng brook of dearest water and as Indian names are all the rage in the vicinity 1t might also perhaps be named "Minne-h e-haha"-laughing water, which would be almost as high-sounding a name as "Niasuma" and more familiar to the dear public
 Following Highland avenue westward to Five Points, we come to Magnolia ave- nue with it's park, which of course should be and is generally named Magnolia park" The honorable Board of Mayor and Aldermen, however, has graciously bestowed upon it the ilustrious name of it's chairman and has named it "Dren- nen park" Well, we the loyal subjects, have read the edict and are humbly grateful-and we shall continue to call our parks by their proper namesl But since break has been made in this direc- ton. and since we have not parks enough to bear all the illustrious names of mayors. we have had and shall have, would suggest that Magnolia park al- ways bear the official name of the reign ing Dynasty" H. SCHOEL.
