 Gadsden Man Robbed-Charles Kim sble was robbed by two highwaymen it Sixteenth street and Forrest avenue Friday night, according to his report to the police. His head was badly bruised. apparently with a pistol, and the scene of the holdup indicated that Kimble engaged in a desperate struggle to save his weekly pay envelope. Kim ble said the men suddenly steped in front of him, flashed an electric torch in his face and commanded him to throw up his hands. He grappled with one of the men and threw him down, but was beaten off by the other man. z Romance Shattered-Her romance shattered, Annie Mae Phillips, comedy 1S-year-old girl, who ran off with Hous- ton Stanfield, 35, father of five a year ago, has returned to the home of her parents at Walnut Grove. This news was contained in letter from her father, Bob Phillips, to Sheriff Leath Saturday. He merely said the girl had returned and he had withdrawn the $350 reward. for the capture and con hviction of Stanfield. Until the girl made her sudden appearance at Walnut Grove last Wednesday, it is said, not word had ever been heard from her since the day Stanfield put her on a motorcycle and sped away with her Phillips sent their picture to every sheriff in the United States. Governor Brandon offered a $100 reward for the man in the case, but no trace was ever found.
 Herman Wiel Dies-Herman Wiel. 66, died at his homo here at o'clock Friday night.

STEEL UNSETTLED;
 PRICES IRREGULAR
Improvement In New Orders
 Shows Improvement

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The possibili- ties of changes in the price of basis have kept the steel market in a more or less unsettled condition during the week and values were irregular and barely steady. However, new orders showed improvement from a month ago and the increase of 1s4,2O3 tons on the books of the steel corporation at the close of the month was considered en- couraging. Pig iron was quiet but steady with fair scattered demand.
 Copper has remained quiet but no selling pressure has developed and if anything the tone has been a shade steadier owing to favorable prospects for the German loan and some increase in the inquiry for export. This has re- suited in comparatively little business, however, and buyers for domestic consumption appeared to be holding off.
 Tin has moved up about a cent with marked improvement in consuming demand. The advance in sterling and steadily depressing production had q stimulating effect.
 Lead remained firm and without quo table change. Inquiry was fair and the general situation appears healthy.
 Zinc was firmer owing to better ex- port business, although domestic de- mand is still light.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK. Oct. u.--After a weak opening and a reactionary first hour the market today closed with slightly better tone, although closing quota tions were quite irregular. Woolworth
 and Nickel Plate were heavily sold dur ling the first hour for the most part on lrumors which were almost entirely without foundation. The oils were sub l5ected to considerable pressure and Texas compan, Sinclair and others reg Sfstered new low levels for the present move. There were practically no devel- lopnents worthy of mentionN and news items consisted almost entirely of 8 sharp advance in the price of crude rub her which is now selling at 31c a pound. the highest figure reached since the early part of 1928. A large percentage of the trade anticipate a better market next week especially if the German loan is heavily oversubseribed. Most of the leading issues closed fractionally lower for the day. although 4offerings were well taken and the market seemed
 practically Gree from distressed selling. -Eenner & Beane to Kahn 6 Virgin.
