DEPARTMENT MAY ACT.
Robbery of POstOnlce Box at Dothan
 is Referred.

Dothan, May 27-(special.)-P master Byron Trammell has written to the postoflce inspector in charge of this district. located at Chattanooga, re- garding the robbery of the postoffice box of the Houston National Bank, in which several letters containing val uable checks were footed, and it Is probable that the postal authorities will put an inspector to work on the case One of the checks was found by small boy in the rear of the bowling alley next to the postofRce, who re- ported the matter to his father. This led to an investigation, and it was dis covered that a dozen or more letters had been taken rom the box and opened. Postmaster Trammell is of the opinion that some employe of the bank neglected to lock the box, thus making 1t an easy matter for the thieves to get in the work.
 The conviction of Parl Strickland for the murder of his uncle, and the sem tence of twenty years fixed by the jury in his case, marks the first instance during the term of Houston Circuit Court just closed, wherein a prisoner charged with murder has been found guilty. The criminal docket at this session was unusually heavy, and several HufQer cases, some or them Ol HUI than ordinary importance and interest, were up for trial, but only in the ca - of young Strickland, a mere boy, was conviction secured by the State Parl Strickland's brother. Bud, charged with the same offense, was released on bond until the next term of court
 Charles Stephens has succeeded D. Cason as manager of the Western Cnions local office, Mr. Cason having gone to Pensacola to assume the man agement there. MT. Stephens. who for merly resided here, resigned position as manager of a large tobacco concern in Baltimore in order that he might return to Dothan.
 Work is progressing rapidly on thee costly repairs to be made by the pothan National Bank to its place of business at the corner of Main and Foster Streets The necessary excavations have about been completed, and 1t will not be long until work on the real re- pairs will commence Meanwhile, ac- tive labor is also seen on the other buildings which are being erected, and the business section of Dothan will pre- sent quite a changed appearance within the next few months.

 CLIMBERS TO FINE POINT
Baseball Players Show Good Condition in Re cords Made-Box Department IS the
 One Weak Place.

Is rounding into shape and the predic- ton is made right here that he will be one of the standbys oft the Climbers this summer.
 Malarky has allowed a fraction over i've hits game while his control has been splendid, giving fraction over one base on balls a game and striking out fraction over four men game. He has had to go in twice in his last three games, after it was virtually lost, losing the game that he succeeded Goodwin in New Orleans by score of against Phillips in New Orleans by three to one and winning the game that he succeeded Hale in by score of four to two. only three hits being made off him
 A fraction over seven hits a game have been made off Maxwell, while he has given a fraction over two bases on balls game, and struck out nearly five a game He lost that ten-inning Sunday game in Shreveport by score of three to two, won the game in New Orleans that he pitched against Breit- enstein and shut them out two to noth- ing with six hits and won the game Friday when he relieved Goodwin.
 Goodwin seems all out of condition and unable to get in shape. John Me- Maxim Is In the same boat and has been allowed to go back home for the sum mer, Muilaney thinking it impossible for him to get in shape this season. He and cannot. of course, pitch for any League team without the consent of Montgomery. It is confidently believed that Roy Hale will be all right but one more pitcher is badly needed.

ehnf nf Nerrn-

Considerable excitement was created at the union depot yesterday afternoon when Police Officer Hogeboon, a new man on the force, shot at a negro named Malone, the bullet grazing the reg, but not infiicting a wound that will even be painful. The negro had been ar rested by Officers Corners and Hoge- boon for being a dangerous and sus- picious character, and the policeman was at the patrol call box awaiting the arrival of the patrol wagon, when the negro made a dash for liberty. He ran east on Wright Street, closely followed by Officer Hogeboon. who, when the negro failed to stop when repeatedly called upon to do so, fired upon him The negro felt the sting of the bullet as 1t grazed his leg, and came to a halt at once. When searched, a large quan- tity of brass jewelry was found upon his person. Recently he was convicted and sentenced in the Recorders Court for selling jewelry without a license, but made his escape.

THE CHAMELEON ACT.
Hirmtngham Has a Change of Heart
 On Umpire BuckIey

The. gaudy hued little lizard. the chameleon, is made to look like a gnat tent basebaiI man an of The The Birmingham Age Herald does his ground and lofty tumbling act.
 During very close game in Rir- mingham the Climbers tied the score three and three, in the eighth inning In the last of the ninth, with the score tied, Mathews hit for two bags. A moment later the ball was helded to Busch, who was covering second, and Mathews was caught off the bag plain ly; The Birmingham News at the time key to the whole situation. Buckley calling him safe and Birmingham win ming the ~ame four to three.
 During the series Fred Houtz caught Lou Walters with an extra ball con cealed in his shirt and calling Buck ley's attention to it the umpire. instead of reprimanding or fining him, simply compelled him to give up the ball. Tn commenting on the incident the Bir- mingham papers instead of calling theT man oG down for dirty sal n, payPg sporting blood of Birmingham.
 During the series several deputy ssheriffs were allowed to sit on the game despite the protest of the Montgomery manager.
 Buckley al that time was lauded to the skies by the Birmingham newspa- pers According to them he was far and away the best umpire ever seen In Brmin gham.
 The following from The Age Herald in regard to Saturdays game would be enough to make a graven image laugh :;
 "umptrely Buckley's work in yes terdaq's game came in for a good deal of sharp criticism from the Birmingham players.
 They say that he allowed Rickert to walk in the tenth when he should have called strikes on him. They clain,- further. that Bird did mt touch second when he scored on Blake's two bagger.

 The congregation Is undecided as to what point on its site the church shall be erected. The site has a frontage of nearly two hundred feet on Wright Street at the corner of Guillemarde. Some favor the corner while others think that the center would be the most suitable, having terraced walks lead to the church, with flower lawns on the side. This woul1 necessitate the TO- moval of both the LeBron and Blount residences, which have been purchased, to the rear of the block, and it would place the pastors residence in the rear and facing on Belmont Street.

 Capital
 Pensacola. Fla, May 27-(SpAciaI.) Announcement has been made cs 7he consolidation on June 1 of the Pensa- cola Lumber Company and the William S. Keyser Company, two of he larg- est exporting firmG of pitch pins m the United States.
 The directors of the two companies have not yet decided upon a name, and will not until their first meeting, when the old directors will choose new di- rectors, and that body elect the new officers and select a name for the com pany. The William S. Keyser Compa- ny is composed of W. S. Keyser and James M. Muldon of Pensacola, and William Rudolph of Biloxi, Miss. The company has offices in Gulfport and Mobile, as we'll as Pensacola.
 The Pensacola Lumber Company stock is held chiefly by the Brents and William H. Knowles, though foreign capital to some extent is interested. Both companies have long been in the business of exporting lumber and timber, and last year did more than half the shipping from the port.
 The new company will be capitalized at $50o,00o, and 1t will take over all of the contracts of the two old com panies, which control the output of many of the saw mills in West Flori- da and Southern Alabama.
 The consolidation was evidently brought about by MT. Brent, president of the Pensacola Lumber Company, re- tiring from business, and William H. Knowles. managing director of the company taking up duties of presi- dent of the First National Bank. The Ns& solidation will afford many ad- vdntages and 1t Is expected that the new company will export more lumber and timber than both the old compa- nies together.
