KILLED A NEGRESS
Clyde McKeller, Young White Boy of
 Meridian

Meridian, Miss, June 23.-Clyde McKeller, a young white boy, shot and killed Ella Moore, a negress, yesterday afternoon, and is now at large, a fugitive from justice. The tragedy occurred about o'clock near the home of the woman, situated about four miles north of the city.
 McKeller, who is about 14 years of age and the son of farmer living in that com- munity, in passing the Moore womans house stopped and gathered some apples from tree. The woman protested and ordered him from the premises, and upon the boys refusing to go they engaged in wordy controversy. The boy carried a shot gun, and when he started out in the field adjoining the woman's house she picked up the barrel of a shotgun which she had in the house, and, locking her door, started towards the boy. McKeler ordered her to stop, and when she refused to obey he fired upon her, the entire load of buckshot taking effect in her breast, killing her in stantly. The only eyewitness to the trag- edy was the woman's husband, who sub stantiated the story given above. The coroner's jury rendered averdct in accord ance with the facts, and the authorities are now out hunting for McKeller.

EVERY TREE A GOLD MINE

From the Scale Register.
 Every good timber tree in Russell coun- tv is a little gold mine to the owner. The time may not yet have come to work this mine, most probably has not, but the time will come within a score of years, and when it does come those persons who shall be the possessors of land well timbered will be fortunate indeed. Already by littles timber in this section of the country is being looked after and bought and shipped by business men, but the industry has only just begun; we have as yet only seen just the slightest intimation of what the timber business will grow to be-
 We have right here in Scale gentle man who has recently come among us for the purpose of cutting timber and shipping 1t. MT Link, with his large force of hands, is having numbers and numbers of fine trees on the Uchee creek felled to the earth, cut up and shipped to Spain. He is cutting only oak timber, and 1t will be shipped to far away Spain to be used in the manu- fracture of barrel staves. But oak timber Is not the only kind that is In demand. Sev- eral car loads of very fine large poplar passed through Scale a few days ago on its way to market And other timber has found and will find a ready sale on the market.
 Every man who has any good timber should take care of it. It will be worth a great deal to him in the course of few years. It brings a good price now, but the price will be better in the course of few years.

JOE WALCOTT
 DEFEATS CREEDON
CoIored WeIter-W Weight Wins in
 Twenty Round Contest.
HAMMERED HIS OPPONENT
He Received Occasional Punches Which Were Not Effective, as Dams Blows Lacked Necessary Steam-White
 Was the Referee.

New York, June 23.-Joe Waleott, the colored welter- weight boxer, was given the decision over Dan Creedon, the Australian middle weight, at the end of hard fought 20-round bout before the New Broadway Athletic club tonight. Johnny White was the referee.
 In the opening round Creedon led straight left, landing on the head, and sent it back to the body. Walcott hooked his left to the chin. A right from Walcott put Dams eye in mourning before the bell rang.
 Walcott opened the second round with a left hook to the eye, Dan shooting his right to the body, following with a short left to the face. Walcott bore in with left hooks to the jaw and rights to the body, keeping Dan moving around the ring.
 Walcott came out the stronger in the third and delivered his left again straight to the mouth, but was blocked cleverly when he tried his right for the body. Wal colt kept hammering his opponent rapidly receiving occasional swipes, which did no effective harm. In the sixth round left smash from Walcott sent the blood spurt- ing from Creedons right eye, and after Dan received a right and left on the body he looked very tired.
 He came up In the next round looking strong, having evidently fully recuperated Walcott sent succession of left jabs to Dams face, much to Creedons discomfort, and from this round to the fifteenth Wal cott had it all his own way. Dan made a wonderful rally in the fifteenth, sending his right three times to the negro's head In the seventeenth Walcott slipped to his knees in a rush, which Creedon evaded. Waleott was on his feet in a second, and both men laughed.
 The nineteenth round found the negro forcing Dan all over the ring. Dan fought back despera tely, but his blows lacked steam. When they shook hands for the wind-up Walcott rushed and tried hard to land a decisive blow, but Dan eluded him very cleverly.
 Referee White gave the decision to Wal cott.
 Harry Fisher, of Brooklyn, met Tim Hurley, of Susquehanna, in the preliminary contest, which the referee stopped towards the close of the third round. Fisher won after punishing the Pennsylvanian badly. Hurley went down three times In the sec ond round and was as good as out in the third when the referee interfered.

THERE'S A HOT TIME
 IN BIRMINGHAM The Weathermaker is the lnsti-
 gator of It. THERMOME TER REACHES 100 Rain Storm Cooled Things Of Late in Afternoon-It Has Been the Hot test June Week Since the
 Year 1897.
THERMOME TER REACHES 10C

Weathermaker Jacobs has been making it hot for Birmingham during the last few days On Thursday he ran the thermome- ter up to a fraction over 100 and yesterday he kept it up to 96 until late in the after noon, when he decided to have mercy on his friends, and presented the public with a heavy shower of rain, followed by a thunder storm and brilliant electrical dis play.
 The weather for the past few days has been the hottest that has visited Birming- ham up to the present date in June since 1897, and taking average for a week the temperature Is even higher than during that year. Wednesday and Thursday of this week were the hottest days of the sea- son, though on Sunday, June 1. MT. Jacobs ran his thermometer up to 9S in the shade.
 It Has Been Changesble
 The weather during this month however, has been very changeable. At one time, Saturday, the 17th, the temperature com menced falling until it finally reached 79. That was the night everybody was using an extra amount of cover. Though this seemed very cool weather after the preced- ing hot days, on the 18th of June, 1896, the thermometer registered 56 The same de- gree was registered on the 1st day of June 1897.
 During these June days the sweating, weltering population of Birmingham has one consolation-at Montgomery the tenn perature has averaged degree higher than here.
