of guard and the resolution was
adopted In twinkling.

| Gadsden, November A-(SpeciaD.-
 offer of $looo reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderers of Jacob C..
 Lutes and wife. who were murdered sew eral weeks ago near the little town of Gallant in this county, has been with drawn. This reward was offered by two relatives of the dead people and no ex- planation is made as to why they have decided to withdraw the offer. The case of the city of Gadsden against c. D. Clark and his bondsmen is on trial in the civil division of the city court to- day. Clark was formerly clerk of the city of Gadsden and there is claimed to be a shortage in his accounts of some thing like $1500 When the shortage was first discovered it was claimed to be much larger than this but careful in- vestigation finally showed the latter sum to be approximately right.

It may be another two weeks, however, before the con- tractors are ready to turn over the keys. The inspection of the city jail resulted in several demands on the part of the inspector.
