MIKE KARSEY SHOT
sheriff Forte Warned 60 Look
Out for Loreto Alvarado.

A telegram was received this
morning by z. c. Forto from Henry
S. Putegnat notifying him that Mike
Karney at The Barrosas stage stand
had been shot twice in the chest by
Loreto Alyarado, and that Alvarado
was travelling towards Brownsville
on his way to Matamoros. No par
ticulars of the shooting were given.
The telegram was dated Corpus
Christi, August 81, the message hav-
ing been sent by telephone TO Cor
pus.
Sheriff Forto received the news
early this morning, and at once sent
out deputies to intercept AlYarado
if possible, though the task may
prove a difficult one, owing to the
present conditions, so much OF the
country being under water. The
wounded man had charge of the
Oasis stage station. He is quito an
elderly man and considered harm
less by those who know him. All
travellers who pass over the Alice
stage line remember Nike at the
Oasis stand. This station is within
six miles from Santa Rosa and over
hundred miles distant from this
city.
There is a justice of the peace
within twenty-five miles of Oasis
VINO has been communicated with,
though it is presumed he was
already acquainted with the affair
and has probably taken steps to ar
rest the offender.

CANADA NOW
INDEPENDENT.
Now Recognized Among Ma
tons IS Never Before.

Quebec, August 2S.-Sir
Wilfred Laurier and Lady
Laurier reached Quebec this
morning on the steamer La
brador and were accorded an
o7ation. In his speech he said:
The reception which ! re-
ceived from the queen and
English people were such that
I shall never forget it. The
change in the colonial policy is
accounted for by the attitude
which England has taken to
ward US. The denunciation OF
the treaties means the fiscal
independence of Canada and
the British colonies in their
trade with foreign countries.
Weare practically independent.
By the denunciation of treaties
Canada opens up for herself a
new market. The impression
we have made goes all over
Europe. Canada is now recog-
nized among nations as she
was not before. This is a feel
ing which we are pround ofand
no man can now speak against

SCRAP IRON DEALERS.
Mr.. Yancey Gives Reasons Why 1t Would
Be Unfair to Increase the LII
cense to $500.

A State Herald representative met
Mr.. R. p. Yancey, one of Birmingham's
scrap iron dealers, yesterday. Mr.. YAM
cey expressed himself in no uncertain
language of the effort being made by the
city aldermen to increase the license on
scrap iron dealers from $25 to $500. The
purpose he said, ne interpreted from
reading the proceedings of the city coun-
Gil, is to reduce the number of dealers to
two in order that a greater protection
might be had against parties guilty of
gathering up ma terial that is valuable,
especially brass from the railroad cars
and the breaking up and selling same to
said dealers.
Relative to the number of dealers"
said Mr.. Yancey, there are now only
three regular scrap iron dealers in the
city.
ut is believed that big corporation
through a certain agent Is behind the eff
fort to make our license $500. Is 1t posi-
BILE that the new city administration will

FIRE AT FORT PAYNE.
A Large Brick Building in Which Several
Offices Were Located Consumed
BY the Angry Flames.

| Fort Payne, Ala Jan, 26.-(Special)--
| This morning the people of this city were
| awakened from their slumhers by the aw-
| full cry of fire to find that the fine, large
| brick building belonging to gentlemen in
| a northern city was wrapped in quickly
| consuming flames. A railroad crew first
| discovered the fire, being on through
night freight train, which is due here
about l a. m. BY the time any citizens
of the town had come to the fiery scene
the flames had gained such Roadway
that to save the burning structure was
an absolute impossibillty.
The postoffice is just across the street
from the unfortunate building, and but
for the timely aid of the city fire COM
pany the office would have met ike
fate. As 1t was, the large, expensive
glass front was seriously damaged, and
the loss will exceed SIS, while that of the
Hardware company, whose stock was in
the burned building, was upwards of S.
900, with no insurance. The office of the
Fort Payne Basket company and the
Standard stove works were in the second
| story, and If their books were not in the
| safe and thereby saved, the owners of the
| same, Messrs. Saunders and Folsom, say
| their loss in these industries will be about
| $4,000.
The office of the DeKalb County Alb
stract company was destroyed. with
| great loss of valuable documents. Chas
| M. 7. Sawyer is the sole owner of the
! same.
The furniture in the knights of Py-
| thias hall was lost which Is valued at
about 81, 900, but they had an insurance of
| $780, A photograph gallery on the third
floor was burned, ana in this place 1t is
claimed that the fire originated. Pho
tographer Howard said it must have
caught from piece of wood falling from
the CRATE during the night.
The fire this morning is quite sad
loss to Fort Payne, but it is thought
everything will get Strengthened out in
a few days, and that the stove works will
continue in operation.
