TIFY TOWN FOR CONVENTION.

J. L. Shelby, president of the Biz

ness houses of the city. 1t is the desire
of the Board of Trade and other organiza-
lions interested in the entertainment Of
the visitors and delegates to the conven-
ton to make the city as attractive as
possible.
Great good is expected from the COM
ing of these visitors to the cotton con-
venton from an advertising point of view
and 1t is argued that everything should
be done to make the city beautiful and
attractive
Other committees will be appointed to
assist the one already appointed in an

BIDDLE LEAVES
FOR TEXARKANA
WILL THERE PROSECUTE MAN
WHO KILLED HIS BROTHER
TWELVE YEARS AGo-LIVES IN
GADSDEN.

DR.. Bidde of Gadsden, will pass
through Birmingham this morning EN-
route to Texarkana, Ark, where he goes
to look after the prosecution of the muir
derer of his brother, which crime occurred
about twelve years ago.
II is remembered that several days ago
Chief Wier received a telegram from
the authorities at TeXarkana that the
man had been arrested, and inquiries con
corning the whereabouts of DIR. Bdd.s
were instantly set on foot. A telegram
from the chief of police at Gadsden was
received yesterday, and in this way. Chlel
Wier learned that the man was preparln )
to leave for the scene of the trial.
It seems that twelve years ago, the
brother of DR.. Biddle was killed by a
man named Hunt. DR.. Biddle instantly
set off in pursuit of the murderer, and
captured him in Honduras. After reach
ing Texas, Hunt managed to escape, AMI
has since been free. He was captured
several days ago. and Will now be
brought to trial for the first time.
