COMMISSIONERS ENJOINED.
Are Not Allowed to Award Bridge
Contracts In Walker.

Jasper, January 2.-(Specia1.) 1.-THE Com
missioners court of this county was in
session here Saturday for the purpose OF
awarding contracts for the construction
of three steel bridges over streams in
the county, but before they had proceed
ed with any business J. r. Kilgore, who
Is one of the recently elected County
Commissioners, enjoined the old board
from letting or attempting to let any con-
tract It is not learned lust why the in
junction was filed. but the supposition Is
that the question of the terms of county
officers, which is now before the Supreme
court was the cause of the action. There
were over dozen representatives OF
large bridge manufacturers from all over
the county present to bid on the work
which. had 1t been let, would have meant
the expenditure of several thousand dol
lars.

FIVE WOMEN ARE
BROUGHT |NTOCOURT
Yolanda Degg Still Claims Self
Defense
TWO ARE STILL IN JAIL
Feeling Is High In Gadsden, as It Is
Believed the Woman Is Shielding
Someone Else Who Is
Guilty.

Gadsden, January 2.--(Special.) --Smiling
as though she was to be crowned the
queen of purity Yolanda Degg walked into
the court room this morning to face the
charge of numbering Aubrey Womack
some time Saturday about midnight.
She was accompanied by four inmates
of her alleged disorderly house and her
attorneys, A. &c. Goodhue and J. f.
Blackwood. Her every movement showed
her faith in the decision of the court.
She claims to have killed Womack in
self defense and the four inmates of the
house claim they will help to testify in
her favor. Only once did any of the
women break down or show the least
excitement. That was when the attorney
for the Defense when begging for their
release here: Here stands five women
who are out in the cold, cold world.
They are deserted by all, and some day
will have to face their Savios for throw
ing away lives which would have been
pearls In the crown of womankind."
When these words were heard, all of
the women burst out In loud cries. Soon
after Justice Dunlap called the court to
order Attorney 0. r. Hood who is assist
certain some of the facts of the case
from the five women all of whom refused
to answer. He then asked the court to
postpone the case until Friday and after
consultation, this was allowed. Shortly
after the killing Saturday night Yolanda
Degg. the matron and Hazel Dean, Clio
Moore, Thema Miller and Minnie Sims,
the four inmates were placed In jail. The
first named was charged with the murder
and the others were held witnesses
Today A. e. Goodhue attorney for the
defense secured releases for all of the
witnesses except Hazel Dean, who 1t is
said claims to know all about the affair.
The Judge refused her freedom on account
OF the attitude she took in refusing to
make a statement after she said she
knew everything.
some man friend and will use the fact
Gadsden today. 1t Is not generally be-
lieved that Yolanda Degg committed the
deed. 1t is thought that she Is shielding
will have to face their Savior for throw
that she Is a woman her defense. 1t
has been stated that man who has
claimed to be friend of the dead man
will be arrested tomorrow. The name
would not be given out. The good rep
utation borne by Womack has caused
much bad feeling here against the ones
charged with mis- death.

The fact that the Crane Company of

of the certificate of incorporation of
the Crane Company with the Secretary of

seen in the office of the Secretary of
State today Mr. Kettig would not go
very much into the details of the trade,
further than to say that he would be
manager of the plan just sold to the new
company, and that Mr.. Young. who has
been in the house so long, will be his
assistant. Most, in fact all, so far as
he knew of the old men would be re-
tanned, and the business would go along
as 1t had for some years. The Crane
Company manufacture goods of its line

Selma, January 2-(Special) -Informa-
ton from the bedside of Mrs. M. r. It'd
well, who was burned yesterday morning
at the Methodist Orphanage at Summer
field, as told in today's Age-Herald, is to
the effect that little hope is held out for
her recovery. Mrs. Tidwell was the as

and had only lately come to Selma from
her home in Talladega. The deplorable
accident is greatly regretted by the host
of friends she has made in this COM

Old Gin House Burned.
Last night about two miles from Sum-
merfeld, the old gin house and barn be-
longing to Mr.. Cato Callen was totally
destroyed by fire. The information that
at first reached the city was to the effect
that the dwelling house of Mr.. Callen
and his family had also been destroyed,
but later information disclosed the fact
that only the outhouses had burned. In
the gin house was an old gin which had
not been used for several years, and in
the barn were several buggies and wag-

Jailed the Robbers.

Two prisoners have been lodged in the
confines of the State convict barricades
who made a big play in Marion county
and counted not on the courage of the
men thereabouts. They are down on the
books Robert Jones, alias Treadwell,
alias McClain, and Charles White, alias
Barney Lewis. One night several weeks
ago these two men slipped into the town
CT Hamilton and broke open two safes.
They got out of the town, but were hotly
pursued by two citizens, man named
Lunsford and one named Webb. These
followed the fugitives until they were
oyertaken, being found lying on ground
asleep. The pursuers picked out each
his man and made dash. A hard strug
gle ensued and one of the robbers broke
away and ran. He was shot in the leg
by one of the pursuers and both captured.
They will now do time to the tune of
five years each for the state.

A Jndiclous Inquiry.

A well-known travelling man who
visits al the drug trade says he has often
heard heard druggists inquire of customers
who tho asked for cough medicine,
whether " it was wanted for a child or
for e. an adult, and if for a child they
almost invariably recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it, and for coughs, colds and
or cronp it is unsurpassed. For sale by
