the calendar is exhausted.
After all the stormy conflicts that the
city recently went through in the selec-
ton of a city engineer, 1t developed today
that the same ground will have to be

Power company have united in a scheme
that is pleasing the Bessemer fans much.

Helms Part.
LIVELY TIMES IN COURT

The trial of r. L. Leatherwood in the
criminal court developed some sensational
features that were not on the original
programme.
On Wednesday afternoon j. b. Coyle, a
witness. was being cross-examined by p.
G. Bowman, who is assisting the prosecu-
ton, and during the examination the wit
ness lost his temper and made what was
regarded as a rather curt reply to the
attorney. Immediately hot words follow
ed between the attorney and the witness
during which the witness said that Mr.
Bowman would not speak like that out
side the court
When Mr.. Coyle left the stand it Is al
legged that he used threatening language
about Mr.. Bowman and this matter was
conveyed to Mr.. Bowman by John benson
When court adjourned all the parties
assembled in the solicitors office where
hot talk, 1t is said. was freely INDUCED
in bad names and strong words were
freely exchanged and mention made of
pulling pistols.
All this matter was brought before
Judge Weaver yesterday morning. The
judge cited the parties to appear before
him, and after hearing the facts the
court imposed fine of $40 on Coyle, $40
on Bowman, and 81 one Colonel benson.
Coyle and Colonel benson paid their fines
and Colonel benson further apologized to
the court and expressed his regret, not
alone for his action before the court, but
also for using the name of God pro-
fanely.
Mr.. Bowman having paid his fine. said
he wished to know what he was fined for.
He said he had no apologies to offer and
would offer none, but would repeat his
words and actions of necessary.
The judge attempted to explain the ac-
ton of the court. At this moment Solc-
itor Heflln called the attention of the
court to the fact that Mr.. Bowman's re-
marks were highly disrespectful to the
court and should be punished by impris-
onment, and said that he as solicitor,
would issue orders to the sheriff to put
Mr.. Bowman in Jail II the court would not
do so. This was followed by sarcastic re-
plies on the part of Mr.. Bowman. At this
time 1t looked as if a personal encounter
might follow. Mr.. Bowman threatened to
withdraw from the case, but later on Mr..
Helm left the court and the trial as II
nothing had happened.

BODEKER ANNOUNCES
FOR CHIEF OF POLICE

yesterday that he was not candidate
for chief of police, and had no inten-
ton of becoming one. Chief Wier will
probably enter the race to succeed him
self.
The fact that the legislature meets this
winter. probably before the city primary
may affect the campaign for chief of
police. 1t is said to be quite possible that
the chief of police will not be on the pri-
mary ticket
When the legislature meets a bill VIII
be introduced seeking to abolish the po-
lice commission and putting the police
department in the hands of the Mayor
and Aldermen. Another bill will be intro
duced seeking to put the police depart
ment on a civil service basis in which
case the chief of police will hold office
for life or on good behavior
If the civil service bill passes no one
can run against Chief Wier, as there will
be no race and he will naturally succeed
himself.
