DARING ATTEMPT At
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
THREE NEGROES ATTEMPT TO
ROB MINE SUPERlNTENDEN
DICKENS, WHO MADE HIS ES-
CAPE-NEGROES JAILED.

With the arrival of three negro priso-
ners at the city jail yesterday afternoon,
the first news of a daring attempt at
highway robbery, which occurred Satur-
day night at Camp No. / of the Frisco
railroad, was made known
The negroes are John Williams, Joseph
Jones, and viii Adams. alias Brady. 1t
is alleged that the three men attempted
to hold up Superintendent Dickens, who
was known to have had in his possess
sion at the time considerable money, with
which he intended paying the hands
1t seems that the negroes at a late
hour entered the office of the superintend-
ent, and covered him with their revol-
vers. He threw up his hands. While the
negroes busted themselves hunting for
the money, which he carried on his per-
son, he nimbly stepped out by rear door
and escaped. He gathered together several
white men at once and returned to his
office, but by that time, the negroes
had taken flight.
The negroes wore masks. but Snpern-
tendent Dickens was able to give a good
description of them, and this description,
together with circumstantial evidence, led
to the arrest of the three negroes. They
were transferred to the county jail. iney
denied all knowledge of the crime.

MAYOR WARD WILL BE
CANDIDATE NEXT SPRING

According to the opinion prevalent at
present among men identified with munic-
ipaI politics there is no longer doubt
but that Mayor George B. Ward will
be a candidate for reelection.
Mayor Ward, himself, cornered by a
representative Of The Age-Herald. yester-
day afternoon, stated:

I propose to attend to the city's business

not ascrbe reason for it unless 1t were

FIRE DAMAGES
HARDING RESIDENCE
Ugly Blaze at Glen Iris Park Yester-
day Morning-$2ooo Damage,
Covered BY Insurance.

Fire, discovered about $40 O'Clock yes
terday morning, damaged the residence
of w. p. G. Harding, Glen Iris park, 10
the extent of about 5000.
The fire originated in the basement, aid
did considerable damage to that portion
of the house, the kitchen and the back
porch. The department made a quick
run to the scene of the fire, and soon
had the blaze under control. The loss is
covered BY insurance.
The fire was disvoered by Mrs. Hard

smoke, she was unable to give the alarm
over her telephone. Hastily gathering ner
children. she ran TO a neighbor's house,
and there turned in the alarm. The fire

presents a most "hustling' aspect.
In other words, the belief that Mayor
Ward will again make the race for Mayor
of Birmingham is so strong, that an
opinion to the contrary is no longer given
consideration. 1t is thought that this fixed
belief will serve to clear the political
horizon on which were already appearing
the rising blooms" of other possible
mayoralty candidates. 1t is not believed
generally, and Mayor Ward does not
believe, that in case he announces there
will be opposition.
All city officials. with the exception
of Mayor and chief of police, will be
elected at the next meeting of the City
Council. As far as known. opposition to
none of the present officeholders has
developed As far as understood, all pres
ent city officials, it Is understood, will
ask for. another term.

intercollegiate tennis among the col

day with the tournament between Po-
mona and the University Of Southern
| California on the courts Of the latter
college.
Play began shortly before 10 O'Clock
with the match between Browne of
the University of Southern California
and Thomas of Pomona. Browne is well
known in tennis circles as an excellent
racquet man, and played his usual good
game yesterday. His back-hand driv-
ing was almost perfect.
Thomas, the one-armed man from
Pomona, played a remarkably good
game, being very much handicapped
in having to serve with one hand. So
perefect was Brownies form, however,
that Thomas had no chance to win.
Browne took two love sets and won
the third set with a score of 6-2.
Meanwhile Crippen of U. S. c. played
Bryant of Pomona on the adjoining
court. Crippen and Bryant were even
ly matched, both playing a steady. con-
sistent game. Crippen took the first
set with score of 1913; Bryant took
the second, S-6; then followed by talk
ing the next with a score of GA, and
won out by winning the last set, 6-2.
In the women's singles Miss Conger of
U. S. c. defeated Miss Miller of Po-
mona with score of Go, 6-1. Both girls
played a clever game, but Miss Conger
easily outclassed her opponent in fast
work
Browne and Miss Conger of U. S. c.
won from Thomas and Miss Miller in
the mixed doubles with a score of 6-1,
6-2. Brownies net work was excellent,
while Thomas appeared at his best in
the back field.
Miss Conger and Miss Addison an
nexed the women's doubles for the Uni
versty Of Southern California from
Miss Miller and Miss McFadden of
Pomona with score of 6-1, 6-1.
The University of Southern Califor-
MIA had not expected to enter a team
in the women's doubles, but Pomona in
sisted and Miss Addison was called
upon at the last moment to enter the
womens doubles with Miss Conger
Considering the fact that she has not
been on court for several months she
did remarkably well.
Browne finished the mems singles by
defeating Bryant three love sets
Browne and Crippen then defeated
Thomas and Bryant of Pomona, 6-1,
6-3. 6-2.
Summary:
