purse of $500 for the winners, $1,000 to
the second team, and $500 to the third A
cup valued at 800 was also carried away
by the winning dogs. The three winners
were the only teams to finish. The other
seven entries met with bad luck In the
shape of a snowstorm and were buffeted
about for two days, lost their bearings,
and were forced to leave their fate to tho
instinct of the dogs. When the storm sub
sided the animals turned back toward
Nome, and finally carried their badly
frosted drivers over the trail to the start
ing point.
1T was a pursuit race. The entries
started at intervals OF two hours. April
was chosen for the event, as the month
most free from the Arctic billiards.. Thr-
teen telephone stations were installed
along tie route, SO the drivers could re-
port the progress of their teams back to
Nome. Scarcely a man in Nome slept
during the entire four days. Big crowds
gathered around the bulletin boards where
the progress of the teams was posted, and
the boohnakers rsaped a harvest One

scribed the interest in the event by say
ing; 1T was the excitement of a few sec
onds in a big Derby event prolonged for
FIVE days
Teams from all over the territory are
entered for this years race. A purse of
$4,000 will go to the winning team: 1900
will be divided between place and show
dogs. A cup valued at $500 will also be
carried away by the successful team
This trophy must be won twice before 1t
becomes the property of the winning
team. Twenty-Five teams have entered
for try for the $4,000, and the man
ayers of the event expect double this
number before the entry list Closes"

BROTHERS. IN LAW HELD

Ensley, February 27-(Special)-Whil
there has been some talk about Ensley
being included in the scheme of a Greater
Birmingham, there has been no serious
consideration of the proposition here. 1t
is safe to say, however, that a large
majority of Ensley will oppose any change
now and especially are the business men
of the city antasonistic. w. r. Stewart
when asked his opinion said: This is
a great question and one that should be
considered from the broad standpoint of
Ensleys good and little local political
divisions should be thrust aside The
thinking element who have their interests
here l find generally favorable to
Greater Birmingham along the lines of
the old King bill, and that If this great
district continues to grow for the next
ten years as it has for the past ten at
the end of that period a great city in
GLIDING everything from East Lake to
JNhesboro should be created. With the
exception of Pratt City and Fairview all
of the territory included in the original
King bill is dependent upon the pros
perity of Birmingham for its prosperity,
and is enjoying the benefits of city
without any of the burdens.
'Ensley has always felt very kindly
towards Birmingham, and wishes for its
success and its taking its place in the
rank of cities to which it is entitled, and
it's citizens do not believe that any at
tempt to forcibly take Ensley in will be
attempted At the proper time the ques-
ton will be considered from the citizens
standpoint and not from that of disap.
pointed or triumphant politicians"

ooolsby and Moss Bound over.


AS a result of the verdict of the- cor
oners jury Will Goolsby and J. II. Moss
are in the county Jail with a charge of
murder docketed against them. The jury
was impaneled by Coroner Brasher to
investigate the death of Joseph who was
shot and killed late Thursday near No.
5 mines at Wylam. The three men are
brothers-in-1aw, Hopkins having married
Goolsby's sister.
The evidence developed that they had
been to a dance and were walking up
the Southern track toward No. s where
they reside. Moss denied all knowledge
of the shooting, claiming Hopkins was
shot from ambush. Goolsby acknowl-
edged firing the fatal shot, but. insisted
it was done accidentally. The evidence
was strong against the two men and they
were bound over to await the action of
the grand jury without bond.
There is much speculation among the
people of Wylam as to the real cause
of the shooting, all the parties being well
known. 1t was rumored that family trou-
bles were at the bottom of il. Excite
ment ran high at the time of the killing
as no cause could be assigned for the
bloody deed Much credit is due Dennis
Eehols who in response to a call went
with his trained bloodhounds to the scene.
The dogs quickly found the trail and fol-
lowed 1t to where the defendants went
after the shooting and back again to
the scene of the crime
1t will be remembered that Goolsby and
Moss were in the crowd near the body
when arrested by Officers Wren and Eu-
banks, and the trail followed by the dogs
correspondent to the statement made by
the defendant as to their whereabouts
after the fatal shot was fired. The re-
mains of Hopkins will be inferred Sun
day afternoon.
