; AgaInst Incorporation.

According to developments in the Probate Court today, the indications point to a contest against the incor- poratfon of the town of Burgin, which was left 70 a vote of the people in that community last Monday. In the event there is contest it will be brought by the Pratt Consolidated Coal Company and, will be unique in the history of Alabama.
 There is quite a community between Mineral Springs and Coalburg and the people decided they wanted a town. Application was made to the probate court for an election, and 1t was held Monday, twenty voting for a town and only one votlr- against it. The in- spectors and prime movers 'n the pro- ject. R. R. Young, J. H. Lester and c. s. Williams, made their returns to the probate court showing the result.
 Represe1tatives of the Pratt Company were at the probate court today with view of ascertaining how to proceed against the cornorate town. It was said the charter will be fought on the ground that there gre not enough property holders and freeholders in the community to warrant the incorpora- tion of a village; that most of the property belongs to the company and that a town will necessarily increase the taxation. Owing to 1t being an exceptional case it has not been de- cided yet whether any such action should be brought in the probate court orG in the circuit court.

The property involved includes liquors, bar fixtures, wagons, an- imals and warehouses, mad is located practically in Topeka. Kan, Wichita. Leavenworth, Atchison, Salina, lola, Ga- lene, Pittsburg and Columbus, Kan.
 Since the restraining order was issued some of the companies removed part of their property, situated near the state line, into Missouri and Oklahoma. At torney Jackson says what remains will be sold and the proceeds used to defray the cost of the present suits. The com panies that removed their property will. be cited for contempt.
 The three receivers held long consult tation with Attorney General Jackson to- day The first of the receivers will have to apply to the United States courts for 8 writ directing all corporations involved to appear in court with their books. An in quisition will be held and in this way the receivers will learn what property is owned in the state by the breweries. The companies being brought into court can not be prosecuted at that time, but hey can be prosecuted on the evidence which is obtained under the inquisition. The courts may order that the necessary pa- pers and books be produced to show just what property is owned and controlled by the different companies. Suit is being brought in the federal courts, and the de- fendants may be cited from any point in the country.

 He has the keys to every den, and inspects every one three and four times a day. He also knows the suspicious char acters, and can quickly catch on when they start to open up a new place of business.
 He stated yesterday that the game has come to a dead halt, and that not a box or a dice or a green cloth, or d wheel Is in evidence anywhere. Several of the old dens are being used for other purposes while the proprietors are holding out in hopes that something will change.
 However, as long as a detective is as- signed to the run, there will be no hopes of their doing business.

 Why have the gamblers gone?
 The reason is not hard to find. It all hangs on that fatal "23." In the balmy month of March, just one month ago Tuesday, on the twenty-third day, an ambassador from the sheriff's office made his first round. He told the boys that Sheriff Higdon said they must go. In fact he gave them a few days to pack up and skip and then quietly went his rounds.
 The first day they thought they could call the bluff, but when at three different times the next night the same ambassador strolled in they began to look blank, ana before the week was out, there came message from Atlanta that that worthy city had suddenly been flooded with gam blers, paraphernalia and dice.
 Very few people understood 1t, and yet they knew something had happened. After two weeks this quiet worker spotted the flew who had failed to carry out the com lmand, swore out warrants, and they are now in the county jail.
