ALABAMA FORGER
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Benjamin W. Brumby Was
Wanted in Birmingham
AND IN MONTGOMERY
Escaped From Montgomery County
Jail Christmas Eve-Said to Be
Greatest Free Hand Forger
in America"

Montgomery. April ~ -(Speclal.)-Ben-
jamin w. Brumby man of many .aliases
and pronounced by Pinkerton detectives
America is under arrest at San Fran
cisco. He escaped from the Montgomery
county jail the night before last Christ
mas and had not been heard from until
the Atlanta office of the Pinkerton
agency notified tile sheriffs department
of his arrest today.
Brumby is wanted in Atlantas Bir-
mingham and other southern cities. He
claims his home is at Memphis, Tenn,
but detectives have secured evidence TO
indicate that he lived in Georgia during
his boyhood days. Brumby was arrest
ed here In November on a charge OF
forgery in Atlanta. He had come here
from Birmingham. where he left his
bondsmen unprotected. He was charged
with forgery there.
Habeas corpus proceedings were en-
tered to prevent Brumby's extradition to
Georgia. The criminal division of the
city court ordered him returned to that
state. Brumby appealed and was in jail
awaiting a decision of the supreme court
when he and George Jones, another pris-
oner, sawed the steel bars and escaped.
Brumby cannot be brought to Alabama
until he is tried on a charge of forgery
in San Francisco He was arrested there
for conducting the same Illegal business
that caused his detention here. 1t is said
Brumby has studied signatures until he
is able to copy one after writing it few
times.

BOOSTING
NEXT STATE FAIR

Jackson, Miss, April Especial 1.-The
directors of the State Fair association
held a meeting yesterday afternoon, at
which time it was announced that the
$4,000 bond issue offered a few weeks
since had all been subscribed with de-
mand for more. This money will be used
in the Improvement of the buildings and
grounds. A new grandstand will be erect
ed, corn palace will be built, and
wherein will be exhibited the samples
sent in by the boys corn clubs and the
girls tomato clubs.
The erection of the corn club building
will relieve the pressure on the agricul-
tural building, where a great deal more
space is needed. Prof. Wilson, in charge
of the agricultural exhibits, will be
given a demonstration dairy and model
farm and buildings, furnished with run
ming water cows, hogs sheep, poultry,
etc, and which will, no doubt be one
of the greatest show places on the
grounds. The state fair this year will be
larger and better than ever, says Sec
retary Mcdonald.

SPECIAL TERM OF
COURT FOR BLOUNT
Commissioners Are Receiving Bids on
the Recently Authorized Road
Bond Issue

Oneonta April 22.-(Special.) Judge
BlacSwood has called a special term of
the Blount county circuit court to con-
vene on next Monday, April 2S to run
two weeks. This will be largely a
civil term, as only two criminal cases are
docketed.
The new Blount county Jail is being
pushed to completion and will be three
stories, including basement, and will be
quite an Improvement over the old build
ing, having steam heat and good water
connections. The sanitary conditions will
be much better than formerly.
The commissioners are receiving bids
for the county bonds and 1t is thought
they will have no trouble in placing the
$150,000 bonds recently voted for good
roads in Blount at good figures.
Two new additions have recently been
made to the city, one on the north side
at foot of Red mountain, and one on
southside. Several lots have been sold.
Oneonta now has three hotels.
The Blounty county teachers examin-
alton is being held this week by Superin-
tendent Sam Ingram, and this has called
quite a number of teachers to the city.
