 MUST HAVE BEEN TERRIFIC The Blow Joe Fleming Struck Barney Young. FATAL QUARREL AT ENSLEY Between a White and Negro Miner, the Partic-
 ulars of Which Nobody Appears
 to Know.

Joe Fleming, white man, brained Barney Young, colored, yesterday at Wy lam slope No. 4, Ensley City.
 The tragedy occurred about noon. The two men were at work pushing coal cars and the full details of the affair are not known, as the men were a considera ble distance away from crowd of work men who saw the fatal blow. The weapon, which was a heavy stick. de- scended with crushing force on the ne- gro's head and death resulted instanta- neously.
 Fleming made good his escape and has not been captured. The men were not prisoners at the mines, but were working there as free laborers. Coroner Dusen- berry investigated the affair yesterday afternoon, but he gave out no official statement regarding it.
 The first report which reached the city was that the white man killed the ne- gro while the latter was advancing on him, but subsequent investigation failed to substantiate the rumor.
 The dead man was buried at Ensley City by his relatives

PICTURESQUE INDIAN REALISM.
Sioux Indian Squaws Pitching Their Tepe at
 O'Briens Onera House.

A reporter of the State Herald was given an opportunity yesterday after noon of witnessing an Indian squaw pitch a tepee. As is well known, the h. dian brave does little labor. It is deem- ed beneath his dignity; therefore the work of erecting their portable habita- tions falls to the squaw. Two wigwams were put up by Sioux women yesterday afternoon on the stage in the opera house, where they will remain during the Indian villages engagement today and tomorrow. Four long pine poles are tied with rope at the taper ned. When they around them. Over the frame work covering of buckskin Is thrown. The genuine buckskin is rare and expensive, it is said, and the coverings used by the Indian village are valued at $500 each. Quite pretty and realistic picture is made al the opera house with the wig vans and the scenic curtain of Rocky mountain pass. The life of the Indian will be shown as it is passed in the wilds of the west. Diamond Dick, who Is said to be the champion rifle shot of the world, will make his appearance with the Indians at the opera house. He Is snap shot. It was a matter of surprise to the reporter when Diamond Dick, in answer to an inquiry, said that he was of ner- vous temperament. "In fact" said he, nearly all of the crack shots of the world are of nervous temperaments and nearly all of them are snap shots."
 With the Indians, the markmanship, the Turks and the relics quite an inter- esting performance should be presented.
