DUCK LEGS BASIS
OF FREAK LAW SUIT.
Indiana Harbor Hunkeytoyvn Is Much
Concerned Over Outcome of
Legal Battle.

Hunkeyton In Indiana Harbor is con-
siderably wrought up over a suit that
is pending which involves the owner
ship of three large and thrifty looking
ducks Yesterday the case came up be-
fore Justice George IRELAND at the Har-
Dor. but it has been continued in order
that several more witnesses may be
subpoenaed and that the ducks them
selves together with a nest of duck
eggs, may be brought into court. Fiji
| teen witnesses We're on hand yester-
| dya, but the ducks themselves and the
man, who is alleged to have sold the
birds to the plaintiff, were not present.
and proceedings were accordingly post
poned. The value of the ducks varies
according to the point of view of those
interested, at from so to Is cents each.

the neighborhood Of 50.

nesses are all paid and the courts and
clerks fees taken into consideration. is
terrifying.
valxandria Koronok is the complaint
and John Chizmar is the defendant.
Valexandria lives at One Hundred and
Thirty eighth street and Deodore and
John is her neighbor.
Each claims the ducks. John claims
he knows they are his because one of
the birds has but one leg. Valxandria
is equally certain they are hers be-
cause she has a nest of eggs in her
woodshed. laid by one of the alleged
stolen fowl. The eggs are to be pro-
duced in court and II any appear to
recognize the eggs and show a dispo-
sition to sit on them. it will be regarded
as evidence that the ducks belong to
Valzandria. If on the other hand one
of them proves to have but one leg. it
will be certain that they do not now.

DOCTORS HEAR CASE
HEALTH OFFICER or LAUDER
 DALE IS INVESTIGATED.
County Society Inquircs into Conduct Of Dr. A. Zfmmerman on Charges
 Preferred by pr. E. C. Lindsay.

Florence, Decb. 2--(Speciel. )--A largely attended meeting of the Laud- erdale County Medical Society was held last evening at the court house, 1t having been advertised extensively that charges would be made by Dr. E. c. Lindsay against Dr. A. Zimmerman county health officer. and his removal from office sought.
 Several hundred circulars were sent out by pr. Lindsay containing these charges and questioning the validity of his election. Further interest was given the meeting by the fact that pr. w. H. Sanders of Mobile, president of the state medical board. would pre- sent to arbitrate the matter.
 The question of the legality of pr. zimmerman's election was first taken up. pr. Lindsay claiming that there was not a quorum present and there was no election.
 pr. Sanders raised the point that the question of a quorum could only be decided by precedent and If this meet ing were decided illegal all meetings of the society since its organization In 1887 were illegal.
 At the request of President Desprez pr. Dunstar read the charges, which grow out of pr. Zimmermans handl- ing of a smallpox case two years ago. pr. Zimmerman Is charged with re- fusing to visit the patient and with leaving him to the care of an incom- potent negro nurse. He further claims that after the death of the patient he was buried in the side of a hill with one end of the coffin sticking out and that two other attempts we're made before the man was jecently buried.
 The charges were referred by the president. pr. Desprez. to the board of censors. who will investigate them and report to the society at the January meeting.
 These charges were investigated by a grand jury soon after they are alleg- ed to have occurred and dismissed and their revival at this time has made q great stir among the medical frateF- nity of the county. Most of the mem bers of the society strongly aligned on one side or the other the controversy.

SIiasissippi senator Denies a Persistent
 Report.

Birmingham, Dec. 2.--A special from Jackson Miss, says:
 United States Senator A. J. McLau- rim has effectuany set at rest the per- sistent rumor that he had expressed a willingness to Governor Noel to re- sign his seat in the Senate in exchange for a place on the Supreme bench next year.
 When asked in regard to the report Senator McLaurin made the following authorized statement:
 "As a Supreme Judgeship has not been rendered to me, and as there Is no reason to suppose 1t will be ten- dered. 1t is hardly necessary for me to speak of its acceptance.
 However. I will say that I would not resign the Senatorship to accept any other office than the Senatorship. Having been entrusted with this office by the people, I expect to continue my en5eavors to faithfully discharge its duties in the interest of the State of Mississippi"
