THREE MORE TOWNS
 WANT DISPENSARY

Montgomery, December 20.-(Special.)- Three of the latest towns of Alabama to definitely announce for a dispensary are understood to be Greenville, Luverne and Ft. Deposit. According to informa- ton which can be gathered in this city bills are now being drawn up in Mont gomery for presentation before the legis- lature which seek to secure passage of an act authorizing such liquor distribut- ing establishments, considered to be the mildest form for the return of spurious goods.
 It is known that representatives of the cities in question have recently held fre- quent conferences with the legislators of Montgomery county with the end in view of procuring this city's aid in the leg islative fight, and it has leaked out from these conferences that dlspensary meas ures are wanted as a means of ridding the particular communities of deficits which have sprung up during the present statewide regime. It is said that the treasuries of each of the cities have been running rather low here recently, and that liquor licenses are needed to restore the financial equilibrium.
 Undoubtedly Huntsville will ask for a dispensary, as will a few of the other cities A full list of such cities cannot be arranged at the present time owing to conflicting views of many of the rep- resentatives of each of the counties.

McClelland HOldup
Gets Five Year Term
7. ]. Kirby Throws Himself Upon
Mercy of Court and Refuses to
Make ANY Defense.

An exciting incident was recalled yester-
day when T. J. Kirby a mild hammered,
pathetic-appearing man, stood up before
Judge Green In the district court at Council
Bluffs to receive sentence. On September
80 Kirby, single-handed, attempted to rob
the State bank at McClelland, sixteen
miles north Of Council Bluffs, and was
not only foiled but was shot and captured
by the valiant youth, Walter Julius
Kirby has been in the Pottawattamie
county jail ever since. He notified the
authorities immediately after his arrest
that he would make no defense and never
faltered in his determination. He waived
all his rights and threw himself wholly
at the mercy Of the court.
When arraigned with other prisoners he
looked straight at the Judge and entered
plea Of guilty Judge Green had insi sted
that the prisoner should forfeit none of
his rights and had appointed an attorney.
The latter made an eloquent plea for the
young man, which was further strength
ened by the presence OF his wife and
family and some OF the men from Oak
land who had known him for several
years. The plea Of guilty was to the
charge Of assault with Intent to commit
robbery.
The sentence was five years at hard
labor at the Fort Madison prison. Friends
OF Kirby say they will take his case be-
fore the board OF parole at the earliest
possible moment to get a hearing and
secure his release
