BIDDING IS QUIET SPIRITED

Selma, December 3.-(Special.)-In these days of hard times the paying of such a sum as $46,000 for a plantation of 5300 acres would seem to belle the insinuation.
 Such was the case in Camden today when D. R. Burgess, the well-known commission merchant of Mobile, bid that amount for the place formerly owned by the late J. s. Dickinson in Blacks Bend.
 The property was bid in for T. B. Far rish and Mack Mcleod by MT. Burgess. Thirty-siX head of stock was sold also, bringing good prices. All the cattle, farming implements and other property belonging to the estate will be sold to- morrow. The bidding for the plantation was spirited, being finally knocked down to MT. Burgess
 Horse Thief Captured. Sheriff Sam Moore of Camden turned over to Sheriff Van Pelt of Pensacola this morning the white man named Multi pei. caught yesterday with a horse and buggy stolen from E. l.. Reese in Pensa- cola, the animal having been driven all the hundred and forty miles from Pen saeola to Camden.
 The man returned to Pensacola without a requisiton. The horse and buggy were loaded in the baggage car nf the train leaving Selma at 9:10 this morning.
 Wreck Is Unexplained.
 Information from the scene of the wreck near Marion which occurred last night and in which Engineer Frank Lit tie lost his life, tells of an earnest effort made to track the miscreants who are responsible for the deed. Dogs were se- cured and struck the trail shortly after reaching the scene, although conslderable time had al1nSe6 tliq uritipp he result of their work is not known but it is feared that the fiends have made good their escape
 Superintendent Stanfiel, who reached the city about noon from the wreck, states that the bolts after being taken from the fish plates at either end of the rails were left lying on the ground near by. There is no doubt but that the in- tent was to wreck the train, but the mo tive can not be imagined. The only the ory Is that some simple-minded person, laboring under the belief that griev ance would be appeased by causing the road trouble, and with no heed to the consequences to human life, committed the act.
 MT. Little's remains reached the city this morning and the funeral will take place at II o'clock Wednesday morning. lie was held In highest esteem and his death Is universally mourned,
