TRAINS WILL NOT ENTER MOBILE
 DEPOT.
Judge Semnses Holds That Railroad h Not Authorized by It's Char
 ter to Enter Into J0iat s. s,. Uu1lnena.

Mobile. Dec. 7.---Attorneys for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany in their light against the State of Alabama, compelling them to enter the union station of this city, sprung a surprise this morning. when they dled additional demurrers attacking the indictment that was returned by the grand jury.
 They admitted that the act, was con- stitutional. but that the Gulf Terpi- nal Company. which operates the Mo hile station. cannot compel the Louis- vile and Nashville to enter 1t.
 Judge Q. T Semmes sustained the demurrers which practically ends the litigation. The depot in question is one of the finest in the South.
 The fourth count of the indictment against the Louisville and Nashville road was overruled by Judge Semmes. All other counts of the indictment were sustained except the first demurrer.
 The demurrer sustained is as fol- lows: Because the law creating the several offenses charged undertakes to require the defendant 70 engage in business jointy with other roads en- tering this city. constructing and op- erating a passenger depot and does not show that the defendant is or was auth orized by it's charter to engage in such businees"

FIVE CASES LEFT
FALL TERM OF CITY COURT TO BE
 FINISHED THIS WEEK.
shreve Cases win Come UD Tmesany and Much Interest is Being Man.
 ifested in the OutcOme--Caf-
 fey Jtv Monday. tf

The fall term of the City Court will be wound up Monday and Tuesday when the charges against three people. making five cases, will be disposed or. There are three cases against pr. Ca1- fey, the negro who figured SO strongly in the faif term. Two of these are for criminal operation which are attracting little attention now as 1t was thought that the action of the jury the first time he was tried will Have great deal of weight with the one next week. The other case against him IS tnat or receiving stolen property, for which he was tried once before. The triai re suited in a hung jury. ss
 In this case it is alleged that negro boy came into possession of a diamond ring, and not knowing whether It was genuine or not. took 1t to friend of his to find out what it was worth. It is alleged that the friend took the ring to a jeweler who said tKatsit was good. The ring was given back to the boy bur it Is alleged that the stone had been changed and he was told that the stone was worthless. Dr. sCaffey was connected with the case and tried on the charge of having received the ring. George A. Shreve and Jesse Shreve will also be tried next week. They are charged with obssrucring justice and the case grows out of the disap- pearance of two witnesses in the Caf- fey cases.
 Just at the time when two of the most important witnesses in this case were wanted 1t was found that they had disappeared. Deputy Sheriffs Wilson and Norman made a trip to Texas for them but failed to locate them and finally had to make another trip after they had been apprehended in Dallas, Texas. It Is in connection with the disappearance of these women that the Shreye brothers will be tried.
 The Caffey cases will come up Mon- day and the Shreve Brothers will be tried Tuesday.

WILD NEGRO MAN
 FOUND IN THE WOODS

Girard. Dec. 7,--(SpeciaL)-A wild man. negro, was found in the Rus sell County woods yesterday and was captured by Sheriff Pal M. Daniel and a posse who pursued him.
 The wild man. who had returned al- most to the original state of primitive man, was located in a forest seven miles north of Hurtsboro. For some time the people oe that community have been mystified and somewhat frightened by strange barking that emanated from the woods. 1t sounded like a dogs bark. but there was some thing weird about 1t that was blood curdling.
 . When Sheriff Daniel and. posse went to the woods yesterday they heard the strange barking sound and approach ing peered through the bushes and saw perfectly naked negro man, running about in the woods, barking like a hound in a fox chase. He ran but was followed by the sheriff and captured after 8 desperate struggle. The negro must have suffered severely in the freezing cold of the past few days. His nails had grown long like beasts. ' Sheriff Daniel after dressing the crazy negro, placed him on a train to carry to Scale, and the man made a wild effort to get away. Using his head as a battering ram, he broke a pane of glass into bits, and with his feet kicked out glass on the other side of The coach. There was anothe CT crazy negro in the car. but he was a mild hammered lunatic and did not take part in the disturbance.
 The negro who was found wild in the woods has been identified as Dave Conner. He labored under the delusion that he was a. dog, and throwings off his clothing ran into the woods and began harking.
