 They are gone. the four "spotters" of blind tigers, after having raised about as much real excitement as any four men who have ever stepped within the gate of the Capitol City.
 The first train out of the city after the trial of the alleged violators of the prohibition law yesterday was se- cured, and the four men, J D. Burke. man, J. D. Puckett, and J. H. Stein camp, betook themselves to Nash vile.
 The four men were taken to the Union station in the buggies of the deputy sh eriffs at the county jail. Two detectives to one deputy sheriff, and the buggies were driven to the station down Lee Street. A quartette of po- lice officers happened, as it were. to be at the depot at the time of the depart ure of the four detectives. There were few, however, who noticed the presence of the "hy cops" There were college girls coming in. and an unusual crowd of travellers. so that the detectives were overshadowed, and their going was apparently unnoticed.
 George c. Miles said last night that the detectives would come back to Montgomery in time to be the chief witnesses in the cases against those arrested and charged with robbery. There is at present nothing further to keep them in Montgomery, and until the time for the trial before Justice Young. the detectives thought they would like to return to their homes.
 Mir. Miles said that there was not the least thought of dropping the rob bery cases, and that the detectives would come back to Montgomery next week.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
 HOLDS FIRST MEETING

The County Board of Revenue sat yesterday in the court house as the Board of Equalization of the county, performing duties of comparing the assessors lists with the books. Last year there were quite a number of changes as was the case the year be- fore. This is accounted for by the fact that the revenues of the county had to bs made up to the same figure as was the case before prohibition came in.
 It is thought that there win be few, if any, changes this year, as the books and figures seem to be in a most Sat- isfactory condition.
 The city, which is entitled to three representatives on the Board, has not yet sent their representatives to the meeting. The Board will met daily until the books have been thoroughly gone over. It will meet again in July to hear any objections which may be registered ss to any changes which are made.
