 gelistic Meeting.
 Dothan, June 17.-(Special.) )--Joseph F. Johnston. former Governor of Ala bama and candidate for alternate Uni ted States senator, was scheduled to speak here last night, but through def erence to a religious meeting failed to do so.
 Evangeists who recently arrived here are holding meeting in the cir cult court room of the court house. Governor Johnston did not know of this fact until he arrived. A small crowd had gathered in the county commissioners room to hear him speak but. upon being acquainted with the existing conditions, which were ex- plained to those present by Col. Tom Espy the candidate in a brief talk said that he was glad to give way to things higher than politics He thanked those who came to hear him. and announced his intention of return ing to Dothan at some later date to speak.
 Dothan was visited by rain this morning which for few minutes was one of the heaviest in her history. About ten minutes before Il o'clock there came a fall which in its severity almost resembled a cloudburst, flood ing the streets in the business section within a short time-and when the streets in nothan's business section are flooded 1t is no pleasant task to walk on them.

Florence, June 7.--(Speciaf. IA heated controversy has been in pro- gress since Wednesday. between the sheriffs of Lauderdale and CulIman counties, over the possession of a pris- oner, arrested for a crime committed in Florence and held by the sheriff of Cullman. The affair promises to be a repetition of the Kentucky-Indian-T -Tay- Tor controversy though whether the sheriff of Cuflman believes the prison- CT would not be given fair trial in Lauderdale. or some other influence has been brought to bear, Is not yet clear.
 The facts in the case are these: Last week a buggy was stolen from livery stable in East Florence and sold near Cullman and man giving his name as Frank Dixon, was arrested for the crime. Sheriff Hill. of Lauderdale County was notified of the arrest and se@@ deputy to Cullman for the prisoner, but the Cullman officer re- deputy was forced to return without his prisoner.
 The very unusual proceeding was then witnessed of trying a prisoner in one county for a crime committed In another and the man was released on $500 bond After being released, Dixon was re-arrested by Sheriff O'Rear, of
 
 his trial was set for 1 o'clock Satur day. too early for Sheriff Hill to be present.

 Town.


 Pensacola, Fla, June 7l--(Speciai.l- Arthur W. Davis and J. }. Carroll. To- cal managers for Armolr and Swift respectively, were fined s100 each in the municipal court yesterday by Re- corder I.aney for keeping in cold stor- age and offering for sab tainted and decayed meats.
 The fines have not ben paid. and it IS likely that the cases will be ap- pealed to higher courts as the man. agers have advised theiiicompanies of what has transpired and asked to be allowed time to hear from headuuar- ters. City Health Offlcer Pierpont and Mayor Bliss were the principal wit nesses Tor the city. and they told the recorder of the horrible condition of the meat that they found at the cold storage plants, which was confiscat- ed.
 The managers made the statement that they had one day In the week for condemning and destroying decayed meats, and that the city officials had arrived at their places Just before that day. They stated that every Saturday they had general cleaning up and any decayed meats on hand were destroy ed. The recorder adjudged the packing house men guilty and fined each $10e. The mayor has announced that the in- vestigatlon has not ceased, but on the contrary has just stared. and that he proposes to see that the food products offered for sale in Pensacola are clean and healthy.
 He said today that there were furth- CT developments in other cases which had been reported to him, and that ar rests may be expected during the early portion of the week. Not only the packing houses, but meat markets and grocery stores are being investigated to see if meats and other goods on sale are fit for consumption. The develop ments so far have caused a big stir fin the city, and the sale of meats of all kinds has dropped off considerably

RESTRAINING ORDER SERVED ON COUNCIL
STOPS MUNICIPAL LIGHT WORKS PLANS
Cunnlon Gas Water Company Decides Make Bitter Fight Conspiracy
Deraud Charged Against Council but Proof Presented Judge Stevens
Finally Decides Town Build Water Though Light Plant

On the 26th day Of February, upon
the application OF Robert b. Lewis,
Judge Stevens in chambers issued a
temporary restraining order, re
straining the town Of Gannlson,
through its mayor, clerk and coun-
ell, from entering into a contract for
the construction of municipal
light and water plant, or issuing
bonds for the payment of the same,
until further order of the court.
The order was ISSUED upon the
filing of bond by H. NJ Webster
and John NJ. Mccormick in the sum
of one thousand dollars, that the
plaintiff shall pay defendant all
damages or costs which should be
awarded against plaintiff in case
injunction should be modified or
dissolved, or said Thousand dollars
should be paid to defendant if it
should be proven an emergency for
the order did not exist or that plain
tiff connived at having order issued
also upon the filing of affidavits by
d. T. Sapp and J d. Parsons that
the town of Gunnison, unless re-
strained, would enter into a contract
with George II. Sethman, of Denver,
for the construction of a light and
water plant, and would work Robert
B. Lewis, plaintiff, citizen, resident
and property owner of Gunnlson, an
irreparable mischief and injury.
In his complaint Mr. Lewis al.

That the town board had employed
one John J. Huddart to aid in de-
termining upon the purchasing and
or constructing of plant and ths4
said Huddart is an architect by pro

That the Gunnison Gas and Water
company had attempted to negotiate
with the board of trustees 50 as to
sell it's plant to the town, but the
conduct of the mayor and majority
Of the board. was to prevent the
town from dealing with the COM

construction would be at least S25,-

the town, nor any of its officers, nor
said Huddart ever gave plaintiff any
notice of change in plans, or that

That Huddart, after notice for
proposals was published, notified
prospective bidders to add six per
cent of the amount of bid to paw
Huddart for his services, and such
notice was sent without authority
from the board.

from expert hydraulic and electrical
