Ella Gray. who by the way Is yell low, was the piece de resistance in the matinee the city holds every even- ing in the week. Mr Baber. the stage manager. conducting the performance for the benefit and under the auspices of the police department.
 Ella has temper. Had it been forged in Damascus 1t could not be higher.
 Ella was quietly cursing her mother under tree in the outskirts of the city when Sarah Abner, ten years old and black as the inside of a dumpcart wheels hub. butted in. Ella asked what she meant by gazing in the faces so aimpertinently, of grown people, while they were talking-also called her diverse names.
 Sarah replied with: You bes ga tell you gramma dat"
 And then Ella took out her temper and let 1t run loose. She seized a stick. of course with the proverbiai nail in 1t. and did so and more alsu to Sarah, and then some.
 Sarah's mother saw the excitement from afar and came down the street wing and wing. She lit into the melee and but for the rapid and unconcerned interference of others there might be darky town funeral today.
 The court saw an additional eight dollars to the city's funds in the event and Captain Smith was commissioned to see that the contribution came In.

Shooting at Crabtree Results In AF-
 rest of Lumberman.
 Tuscaloosa, Novs 1i-(SeciaD--A man by the name of Hopstall was brought to this city yesterday evening and lodged in jail, charged with shoot ing Engineer Wilson of the Crabtree Lumber Company. The shooting oc- cured at Crabtree, about six miles south of here. It seems that Mir. Will son was demonstrating with HopstalI for wearing his clothes, without first getting permission. They were re- turning to the camp on the train at that time, and in the a2tercataou that arose. MT. Wilson kicked Hopstall off the engine. Hopstall went to the mill and got his pistol, and returning to the engine which was taking water at a creek. he shot into the cab, in turing Mfr. Wilson and two negro laborers. Hopstall then returned so the mill and locked himself up in his house. defying the men to take him. o. V. Crabtree gathered his men to- gether and surrounded the house, talk Ing the man without a single shot. Mir. Wilson's wound. while very pain fuI, issnot serious.
 A great deal of sidewalk paving is being done here and it is improving the looks of Tuscaloosa wonderfully. When all of the streets are paved which were mentioned in the recent ordinance, Tuscaloosa can then boast of fifteen miles of concrete sidewalks.

Big Things in Air For
 ' Greminger's 1909 Climbers

Very brief was q telegram that came to President Chambers of the local club early Wednesday morning.
 What will you sell Reagan for will you trade for Daley of MobHe?'
 That was all. and at the bottom was signed the name of Bill Stickney. But between the, lines there was world Of significance.
 In the fIrst place. 1t meant that SiiI Is taking aAvant of every moment of the time that he Is with the base meant that in the numbers of trades and sales that are being pulled off in Chicago the hustling secretary of the local club is getting his full share of anything that Is falling in the way ot plums. and likewise he is busy stand ing from under when the lemon tree begins to shed
 Stickncy's first question means that Charli. Frank Is crazy to get his pa paws especially as he has already virtually disposed of Diamond Joe Rickert. Roy Montgomery will hardly be In New Orleans ss.s1 next year 1T BilI Philips ps Briscoe Lord is gone. 1t leaves the Pelican garden pretty bare.
 In reply to the first part of the Stickney telegram President Chambers wired that he would take $500 for Reagan. Nothing has been heard since, but the chances are that Frank will give the $500. He thought so well of Steve last summer that he was heard to remark several times that he would like to have him in New Or leans.
 Now as to the second part of the telegram It seems that George Reed who is to succeed Tom Fisher as mar . ager of the Mobile team fin 1909 wants to get rid of Jud Daly if he can get anything like his price or good trade for the outfielder. In reply to this part of the telegram Mir. Chambers wired Stickney that he would trade Sis Hopkins for Daily. .,, mean pretty big things for the Mont Eornery club. and from the way things look at present Greminger Will have one of the fastest outfields next seaso 2 that Montgomery has seen In a gooo

many years. With Daly in left field. Archie Persons in center and a hard hitting outfielder in right, the gardens Balanced as the infield promises to be. Just what deals Ed Greminger has on hand is not known. He may have some fast outfielders of his own. and it may be that he will have just the man that will fit in the right lot like a glove. There is one thing sure. he could not possibly get hold of two men that can heat Daily and Persons out of their jobs.
 Both men are hard hitters. and both among the leading haserunners of the South In 1908 Persons and Daily had their best years, the former being with Nashville and the latter with Shreve- port Tn 123 games Persons had 499 times at bat, 4S runs. 142 hits. sacri- flee hits, 3i stolen bases and a batting average of .2S4, During the same season Daily had in 143 games 546 times hits, 23 stolen bases and a batting average of .267.
 President Chambers Is firm be- liever that Billy Crlstall will make a good outfielder. and thinks that if he is played in the outfield every day he will hit pretty close to 300 before the season is over. No effort will be made to make one of ths pitchers out ot Cristal next Spring. he will be played regularly in the outfield and if he develops well out there. there is a chance that he will be played in right field pretty steadily. Of course If better man shows up for the job ne will get the place, and 1t Is not en- tirely impossible that one of the fast est base runners In the south may n0t be with Greminger next season.
 A deal has been made by which tnis player goes to South Atlanta Clun. He has been among the leaders in the Southern League for the past four or five years, and heschances are that he will make a big kick on the proposi- tion of going down into the Sally League. Something Is liable to be heard from this in the near future. The player in question wants to come here and if he does the outfteld next year will be one of the swiftest that ever raced through this Dixie land.

BAILEY CASE AGAIN
CALLED AND CONTINUED IN clslM-
 NAL COURT.
Novelty of Case is that Appeal from Habens Corpus is Taken to U. $. Supreme Court
 without a Trial.

By a unique coincidence, the case of Alonzo Bailey, charged with violation of labor contract. has been taken. on appeal. to the Supreme Court of the United States before the defendant has been tried on the charge.
 Some time ago Bailey's release was sought on writ of habeas corpus. which was denied by Judge Thomas, and an appeal was taken from thia decision on the writ, to the State Su- preme Court The decision being af- firmed there. the Supreme Court of the United States is appealed to, and Att torney-General Garber left Wednesday for Washington on the errand.
 And yet, Bailey has not been tried on the charge. The case was called for Wednesday in the criminal division of the Ci-y Court, but was continued ow- ing to the absence of the attorney for the defense.
 the case in Washington, in event of Bailey's being adjtdged not guilty in the minor court.
 Besides the case of Bailey, the City Court took up on Wednesday, other cases which involved instances of in- terest Rosa Broden, negress. was tried on the charge of having in pos- session q pistol of less than twenty four inches length of barrel. being de- clared not guilty.
 This was the first case to be tried in the courts of Montgomery County under the '1ong-gun" law, and its course was one of interest throughout The woman was indicted at the July term of the grand jury, and brought to trial in August. But the jury failed to agree, and after staying out nearly twenty-four hours was dis charged and mistriaI declared. Being brought to trial a second time. she was freed but only after the jury had -wrastled" with the case for nearly eight hours.
 Jim Fielder, a negro without legs, was arrafgned on the charge of at- tempt to murder. the assault having been made on his wife. Fielder pleaded guilty to two charges on the same off, far1aas
