PIONEER IS PRESENT
GABOUREY DELEGATE TO CON-
 FERENCT.
Ran world'n First Electric Trolley Car Through streets Of Mont- gomery severay Years Ago,

J. A. Gabourey, the man who ran the first electric street cars in the world and who ran them on the streets of Montgomery. was delegate from Calhoun County to the big conference yesterday. Mir. Gabourey Is now en- gagged in railroad building and de- velopment work in Calhoun County.
 In 1884 and for some years pre- vions he controlled the Montgomery street railway system, then operated by mule power. While touring In Can ada he went to a county fair where he saw the curiosity of little car run back and forth on a hundred yarn track by electricity and carrying pas sengers who rode In 1t as a curiosity.
 Swiss inventor named Vanderpoel had discovered the secret of the mos tive power from electricity and had put 1t into practical operation. Mr. Gabourey asked the inventor why he had not put the invention to work on some of the street car system of the United States and was Mpid that he had hawked the inventionSail over the north and could get no street car magnate to pay any attention to 1t. "You come and go with me to Mont gomery." said Mir. Gabourey. T have a street car system there and We will put 1t to work"
 And in this way the first electric street car ever operated on the streets of any city Of the world was run up Court street one morning in April fRHA

CASE DECIDED
DEMURRERs ARE OyERRULED By
 JUDGE PEARSON.
Suit Involves Some Interesting Ro- nance of Days Long Since Gone By--Land Was
 Involved.

Judge W. ". Pearson. of the Eff teenth Judicial Circuit, rendered his decision yesterday afternoon In the suit of Mrs Mary E. Behrendsen against Jasper Atkinson and others over the ownership of certain lands In Chiffon County. The suit. as filed sometime ago by the complainant. was to establish a consecutive trust for these lands.
 The demurrer, overruled by Judge Pearson in the vital part. emphasized the fact that forty years had transpir. ed before the filing of the bill. which barred the plaintiff.
 The court held that as there existed a confidential relationship between the plaintiff and her guardian at that time. 1t was his duty to keep her in- formed. and that since he violated this duty, the present defendants cannot set up q plea of "laches."
 The case. around which clusters c chapter of romantic interest. is one Of the most remarkable Judge Pearson has dealt with. The incidents inter woven date back forty years or mors to the time of the war between the States. Mrs Behrendsen alleges in the bill that when a child 5 years of age. her grandfather died and left her an estate of e16.000. Her father being dead. a man named Atkinson was ap- pointed as guardian. She alleges that the money was turned over to him and that he bought lands in his own name and afterwards settled to the court In Confederate money.
