CHAPMAN TRIAL STARTS MONDAY
Charged With the Murder of Spe. cial Officer s. C.
 Zaner

Anniston, Osctober 22.--(Special 1.-The term of the Anniston city court for the trial of capital cases will begin on next Monday and the first of several defend- ants to be arraigned will be Ross Chat man, charged with the murder of Special Officer S. c. Zaner who was killed while trying to get evidence against Chatham for the alleged violation of the prohibit tion laws, in connection with which he established q record that is probably without a parallel in the history of Ala ibama courts.
 . There is widespread interest In the hearing in this case, and some trouble is anticipated in drawing a jury to try the case, as a result of which fifty extra veniremens have been summoned by the court. The history of the case is well known. Chatmans place had been con- demned as a nuisance by the city, but the injunction to close the stable could not be enforced, as Chatham had always been successful in securing an acquittal when arraigned for alleged violations of the law. The mayor sent Officer Zaner to- the place to stay there until he se- cured evidence that would convict the aecused man. Chatham objected to Zaner's presence and shot him as the result of altercation over a grip, which the officer was undertaking to open Immediately afterward Chatham fled and was arrested a few days later at a noun tain cabin in a secluded spot south of here. where he was in hiding with Char ley and Minnie Higginbotham, with whom he had figured in several sensational escapes. Chatham says he shot in self defense and this will be tine plea to which he will resort in the effort to save lhis life. Higginbotllam pleaded guilty last week to violation Of the prohibition laws, but it is mot known what has become of the woman since Chatham and her husband have been in jail.
 It is believed that Chatman's case will take up at least three days, following which Will McGuffin. who is also charged with numbering an Anniston of- ficer, J. L. Cunningham, will be tried. Leo Gilbert, charged with murdering his sweetheart. Willie Graham; Jim Hyatt. charged with murdering Tom Wood. and others will be tried for capital offenses before the court term comes to a close, although special session is very prob able.

LIMESTONE FAIR WAS SUCCESSFUL  ElkmOnt Seems Assured of a High School After
 Raising Funds

Athens, october 22.--(Special)-The third annual fair of the Limestone County Fair association was brought to q successful finish last night at midnight. The first of the week was very unpromising while the last three days were ideal fair days. The crowds were fairly large; the exhibits were good, but not as large as they would have been had not the weather conditions been so unfavorable at the opening or the week, when it was made necessary to continue the fair over day and post pone the opening. The rains kept many people away. The gate receipts were highly satisfactory to the management, considering the very disagreeable start. The racing was good the free attractions fine. the midway excellent and the horse shows at night delightful. The musical ride given the first and third nights of the fair attracted the society people. and the prize, a. $25 saddle, was won by Mr. Hub Mccall and Miss Annie D. Rogers. It was a very beautiful feature of the show. Many visitors were here from other counties and a number of excellent track horses were here, and the racing was enjoyed by all. The association had added very much to their grounds and the people found every convenience and comfort. taf
 The negro fair opens here Wednesday morning. They hope for the best fair they have vet had. Many of the midway attractions will remain over this week.
 Fire destroyed the store house and con tents belonging to MT. L. D. Coffman at Veto this week. His loss was 5000 with s200O insurance. He saved nothing but his books The fire was discovered late in the night and too late for anything to be saved. He will rebuild at once.
 Elkmont seems to be assured of the county high school. The citizens of that place made up the required 5000 this week and the board which locates the school have been notified. The loca- tion of the county high school at Elk mont will be a big thing for that To- cality. It is the second largest town in the county and is situated in fertile and thicily populated portion of the county. The locatio nof the school could not have been fixed at better point.
