assault occurred Saturday night in East

Saxton told him he had to whip Romine.
The two came upon the officer Saturday
night and Doyle, who Is much the better
man physically. knocked Romine down
and was beating him while the father
kept the bystanders off with knife.
Romine managed to draw his pistol and
fired at his assailant, but his overcoat
covered his face and the bullet went
wild. He had a narrow escape, however,
as his face was badly powder burned
and he did not wait for further parley,
but he and the old man took to their
heels and escaped. Romine is young

PEoNAGE CASES.
Judge TouImin Makes Matter Plain to
jury.

Mobile, December 13.-Under series of
rulings in disputed points by attorneys
for both sides, Judge Toulmin of the
United States circuit court today left but
practically one question for the jury to
decide in the Monroe county peonage
case. That is whether the three defend
ants conspired with each other and with
Walston to place Blue McReynolds in
involuntary servitude, and the judge held
that the relation between landlord and
tenant, 1t being maintained that Mercy
nolds was a tenant, was incompatible
with the condition of peonage, but not
necessary with the condition of involun-
tary servitude.
The feature of the testimony today was
the appearance of the three defendants
on the stand, each denying any knowl-
edge of the purpose on their visit to the
Walston plantation, or any agreement or
conspiracy to assist Walston sh holding
his negroes.

WANT AN EXPERT
TO PASS ON VALUE
BEssEMER BOARD OF TRADE HAS
SPECIAL MEETING TO CONSIDER
ADvIsABILITY OF PURCHASING
WATER WORKS.

Bessemer, December S.-(Special. 1.-THE
Board of Trade met in special session
this afternoon at the city hall for the
purpose of considering the purchase of
the water works by the city. Various
sentiments were expressed by members
of the board, but no definite action was
taken except to appoint committee, con-
sisting of f. r. Lewis, r. p. McTyiere
and W. w. Hollingsworth, to request
the council at the extra session to be
held tomorrow night to have a water
works expert pass on the value of the
plant. The only objection that was put
up generally was a desire expressed to
wait until 1912 to buy the plant.
To offset this argument those in favor
of the deal are citing the price quoted
ten years ago and that only two or three
years ago. Each time the price has been
materially increased and it is understood
that the price in 1912 would not be the
same as at present. 1t is argued that the
city would not own the waterworks,
but on the governing committee would
be the mayor. r. F. Smith and Morris
Adler. 1t will be seen that the city

There will be an extra session of the

1alittee appointed this afternoon and await
the decision of the expert. The meeting
tomorrow night is for the purpose of hav
ing open discussion Of the matter by the
citizens.
The Christmas holidays for the schools
will probably begin on Christmas eve
and continue one week. The board of
education has not announced its decision
as yet, but it is generally understood
that this will be their decision. Christ
