TO STAY IN STATE
GERMANS DESIRE TO REMAIN IN
 ALABAMA.
Indignation Expressed in Selma Over the Treatment Accorded the migrants for Break
 ing a Contract.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma. March 21.
 Considerable comment and indigna- tion was expressed here this morning when the facts were known in regard to the -detaining, of the colony of Ger man immigrants at police headquarters last night on a warrant sworn out be- fore Justice of the Peace Price of Sum- lmerheId. No blGne was attached to the police force or to Deputy consta- ble Fluff ord. who served tEe warrant from the court of Justice Price. but ell of the blame for the imposition was placed upon R. H. Jones, who swore out the warrant against the immi- grants.
 Soon after the arrests were made last night. MT. Jones and Justice Price reached the city, ani 1t was openly stated today that at the point of pis- tol MT. Jones tried to .ntimidate the Germans and make them go back to his plantation. This action upon his part IS severely condemned by the bet- ter class of citizens of the county and Is deeply regretted by his friends. Mir. Jones and the Germans tell different stories aho1t their transactions and 1t was stated today that the matter would not be ended with the discharge of the immigrants from the warrant upon which they were detained.
 MT. Jones says that he took the inl- migrants to his plantation and put them in the best tenant houses that he had on his place; that he gave them provisions and lumber was on the ground with which to repair the houses. He was out the railroad fare which he had paid for their transportation from New York and money that he had otherwise spent He stated that he now saw he had made a mistake in h NHfa rPa nf for breaking a contract butt at tho time he thought that was the best way to get them to come back, to his plantaf ton.
 One of the immigrants said that thny were put in tumble-do houses that had no flooring, and that they had to sleep on tho ground: that for two days they had Aothing to eat and were cold anG hungry through the recent severe weather. He stated that when they first reached the plantation MT. Jones gave him a cow and that after his wife had nlilked it Mir Jones came and took the milk, saying that he could have the COW but not the milk. They grew tired of this treatment he said, and yesterday without any of them having a cent, they decided to come to Selma and had no more than reached the city limits before they were ar rested.
 All of the immigrants have lived in New York for at least two years. one of them, an old man, having been a resident of that city for nearly forty years. He saw an advertisement in a German paper offering homes and hiRh wages for people to work on farms. He answered this advertisement and the result was that he was sent to Ala bana.

JACK DENTON TO BE SENTENCED.

Fourteen of Nineteen Indictments
 Against Him are Dropped.
 Florence, March 21-(Special. )-- Jack Denton, against whom there were nineteen indictments pending. faced Judge Joseph H. Nathan. of the Cir cult Court this morning and received his sentence. Denton's numerous in- dictments were for selling whiskey without license and for living on his houseeoat with woman who was not wis wife.
 But this was not the head and front of his offendtng.' Denton. for the past two years. has been playing the des- perado in the lower end of the county to the extent that he had become a ter TOT to the community and when the Sheriff of Lauderdale County wont to arreFt him he found that the inhahit- ants around Haddock postofilcet and Shawls store had taken to the woods in terror. Denton was known to go heavily. armed and the officers. Sheriff O. B. Hill and two deputies, were obliged to use caution in directing his arrest. They concealed themselves and watched Denton land his houseboat and go up the path, leaving the woman on board. The SherIff then went on board. after ooncealing the two depu- ties little up the bank on either side Of the path to await Denton's return.
 
 Sheriff stepped from the boat and or dereJ him to surrender. whereupon Denton drew his pistol and replied. Not this time" but before he could fire there was the click of a trigger in his rear and one of the deputies had emptied the contents of shotgun into hts back.
 Denton was carried on the houseboat where he remained for several weeks until he was able to be brought to Florence to make bond. The case was set for Monday in the Circuit Court and Denton has cause to congratulate himself for the extreme mildness of the penalty he received.
 Fourteen Indictments were dropped and Denton was fined $50 and thirty days imprisonment on each of the live remaining counts, the latter part of the penalty being held up on good be- havior.
