In the preliminary hearing of F. M Armstrong in the Probate Court of Chiffon County, charged with assault with intent to murder. sheriffs and witnesses moved twenty miles and in the night time. and held session at the bedside of Alvin Lowery that he might tell how he was shot and dan gerousiy wounded by the accused.
 The incident is upique. not only Tn the record of Probate Courts but In the records of Circuit Courts as well. Armstrong was given his preliminary hearing before Probate Judge L.. H. Reynolds of Chiffon County, at Clanton, Thursday. Lowery is the. son-in-iaw of Armstrong. Some weeks ago Low cry was shot at the flag station of Mlneoka, nineteen miles north of Clan ton, He stepped from the train and as he touched the ground his father in-law levelled a shot gun at him. He fired both barrels of the gun at Low cry and both shots took effect. When he had emptied the shot gun he drew a pistol and opened fire with. that. But he was not as good shot with pistol as with a shot gun and all the pistol shots missed. But Lowery was des- perately wounded by the two loads of bird shot fired from the shot gun.
 To this day nobody knows the cause of the shooting. It was not developed in the preliminary hearing. The de- fense introduced no witnesses. The prosecution did not establish the motive for the alleged murderous attack But more novel than the apparently cause- less shooting afRray was the trip through the country by the entire court to the bedside of the wounded man. It was announced at the court house in Clanton that the wounded man waS so desperately hurt that he could not ap- pear at court. Judge Reynolds de- cided to hold court at his bedside. The court was adjourned to meet at the country home of Lowery. mile from the station at Minooka. On the night train going north. the judge, the wit nesses, the attorneys, he official stem ographer and all court attaches went to Minooka.

Indigestion May KBe Overcome by sim-

 It Is useless to expect medicine to cure you of indigestion merely acting upon the food you eat.
 In the treatment of stomach troubles, the first thing to do is to get tte mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines Into healthy condition.
 Next in importance comes & strengthening and stimulation of the muscles of the stomach ana bowels,
 Both results can be best accomplish ed by the fuse of Mi-o-na stomach tablets.1a combination of healing rome. dies for the raw and irritated mucous membrane and strengthenera for the stomach muscles.

 If you suffer with indigestion. dizzy spelis.s distress after eating. headaches, sieepleseness and the many other symptoms of bad digestion and slug gishness of the digestive organs that keeps people from enjoying themselves, strengthen the whole digestive system with Mi-o-na, and you will soon find that both stomach and bowels do their work as they should, and you do not have to go on a diet list of toast and tea.

 In Brewers history scenes of unusual excitement are described as having ta- ken place when the news of the seces- sion spread over Montgomery and the State of Alabama. There was little doubt but that the move was univer- sally popular.

Browns total score was made In the

Brown 30 yards. On two other occasions
