BICYCLE RACES AT
 THE COLISEUM TRACK
Local Riders Will Hold a Splendid Meet Some Fine Sport Is
 Expected.

The air of local cycling circles has again been suffused with rivalry, and another meet to settle all disputes as to fast go- ing and lasting ability will be settled at the coliseum track on Thursday night.
 Bob Stubbs has undertaken the job of pulling off the meet, and from his success of ten days ago he will no doubt furnish some good sport.
 There will be no "outside" riders and 1t will be strictly an affair between home tal- ent. The management has decided to put out a card on which will be a handicap, amateur two-mie open, amateur and an unlimited pursuit race In the latter con- test the four strongest men will take differ ent positions on the track and after the start will run until one man overtakes the other three. The race is liable to consume two minutes or half an hour. It will de- pend altogether on the staying ability of the men and their determination to win out. These unlimited pursuit races have recently brought out large crowds on the big circuit tracks and will no doubt prove very inter- esting here.
 All local riders and a few from Besse- mer and the neighboring suburbs have agreed to participate in the various contests and some first class amateur sport will be furnished to the lovers of the wheel.

WOUNDS PROVE
 FATAL AT LAST Charles McFetridge Died at St
 Vincent'S Hospital, SHOT BY ROBERT s. ALLEN
Occurred in Twentieth Street Lodg- ing House on Friday May A. Allen Rearrested on the
 Charge of Murder

Charles McFetridge who was shot by Mrs. Barbara Strietz at 30S1s North Twen- tieth street on Friday evening, May 4, died yesterday afternoon at St.' Vincent's hos pital where he has since been under treat ment.
 McFetridge, who was thought to be fa- tally wounded at the time, rallied from the shock and appeared to be on the highway to recovery, until yesterday when he grew suddenly worse and soon expired.
 The remains were taken in charge by Gaudin &s Loy, the undertakers and pre- pared for burial the interment taking place this morning in the Southside Catho- lie cemetery.
 As soon the news of McFetridge' death reached police headquarters war rant was sworn out against Allen, who had been released on $200 bond, charging him with murder, on which he was rear rested.
 The shooting grew out of an alleged as- sault upon Allen by McFetridge, who was said to be insanely jealous of his wife, who also figured in the affair. Allen claims that the shooting was done in self-defense.
 McFetridge was shot last fall at the state fair in a melee in the German village on the Midway, and although badly wounded, recovered after long siege in the hos pital. He came here with the Midway peo- ple and is said to have figured in no less than a dozen serious affairs, in which he was either shot or cut, his body being al- most a mass of scars.
 City Physician Charles Whelan, who att tended McFetridge both times, says that it was only his wonderful constitution that kept him alive as long as he lived.

Second Annual Reunion of the Boys Who Enlisted in the Cuban

The meeting will be called to order at 2:SO o'clock by Commander George Huddleston, who has issued the off, cial call t.e4 a
 The organization, as is well known. is composed of white soldiers who enl:sted in the Alabama regiments during the Spanish war and while all are not yet enrolled on the membership it is expected that many will affiliate at the coming meeting.
 Commander Huddleston, who was elected from the ranks to the high post of honor, has announced that he will not serve longer, and it is probable that the honor will be bestowed upon an officer of high rank, General Wheeler, General Oates and Ce,snel A. A. wiley being mentioned in that con nection.
 The meeting promises to be reunion in- deed, and its deliberations will undoubtedly tend to further perfect and strengthen the organization.
