Gadsden, June 4.-(Special.)-A very valuable bird dog was taken up by the police Sunday and returned to It's owner at Tuscaloosa today. The story of the dogs visit to Gadsden is out of the or dinary, and was investigated by Chief of Police o. Ramon.
 The dog boarded an Alabama Great Southern train at Tuscaloosa and the train crew allowed him to stay on to see what he would do. He remained perfectly content until Attalla was reached. When this station was called, he promptly arose and left the car and boarded the street car which was standing in waiting and came on over to this city until he was taken up A collar was around his neck which bore the owners name and ad- dress.
 Decision Is Rendered.
 Judge John II. Disque has rendered a decision in the city court, declaring that the Steel City Land company was not formed according to the laws governing the incorporation of companies, and de- claring that no such corporation existed. The decision was the outcome of quo warranto proceedings brought by Attor- ney w J. Boykin on a petition of A. R. Brindley, in which petition a number of allegations were set forth to show that no corporation existed, from the fact that the capital stock of the company had not been paid in, in money or its equivalent in property.
 A. W. Lynch and J. w. Garrison, stock holders in the company were the real in- stigators of the suit, following a dispute in the company. The suit has attracted considerable attention and the outcome has been awaited with considerable inter- = est.
