MAN KILLED AT ENSLEY
George Tunnel Run Over by an Elec-
 tric Crme

Yesterday afternoon George Tunnel, an employe of the Alabama Steel and Ship building Company's works, at Ensley, was run over by an electric crane and Instantly killed.
 Nobody saw the accident but from the position in which the body was found his death must have been an instantaneous and almost painless one. The body when found was quite dead and beyond all human help. The coroner was sent for but he was not in town, so the inquest was postponed until today.

BOND WAS NOT MADE
 IN SUM OF $2OO,OOO
In TruSsviIIe Company Against
 Rogers, Brown & Co.
AT PLACEMENTS WITHDRAWN
the Trussville Co. for Amounts Less Than Fifteen Hundred
 Dollars Each

The failure yesterday of the Trussville Furnace, Mining and Manufacturing Com pany to give bond in the sum of $20o,OO0 caused the withdrawal of attachments is sued in the action in the city court of Bfr- mingham of that company against hog- CTS, Brown & Co.,, iron brokers.
 The plaintiffs claimed $10000D of the de- fendants, which required the fixing of the bond at double that sum. The defendants having been brought into court, however, the action against them will presumably proceed upon its merits. The attachments are said to have affected property to the value of s75, 900, and the withdrawal of the writs serves to release that property to the extent that it may be dealt with by the owners as they deem proper.
 The time for filing the bond expired about Il o'clock yesterday morning, whereupon Clerk and Register Gillespie of the city court notified Sheriff O'Brien, and the writs of attachments ceased to be effect i've.
 Attachment proceedings were taken by the Enterprise Steel and Iron Company against the Trussvihe Furnace, Mining and Manufacturing Company, alleging in- debtedness of $1,35s.
 Attachment proceedings were taken by the Gilreath Mining and Manufa eturin3 Company against the Trussville Furnace, Mining and Manufacturing Company, al- le ring an indebtedness of S, ,402-H.
 The sheriff served attachment papers against the stock of goods of D. Coplon. second avenue. The attachments were is- sued from the city court upon application of M. B. Hermon, who alleges that Coplon is due him $1,9i0.20, and Joseph Montgom- cry, who alleges that Coplon owes him

One Of the regular customs of the nom

an ideal one for this observance, and a
more enjoyable celebrat ton OF the pleas

4 BIG MASONIC P|CN|C
Marshalltowa Masons Planning to
Entertain District Lodges on
st. Johns Day.
Big Picnic to be Enjoyed on Wednes'
day June "a, robably at Cot
age Grove Park.
Non. Partisan W. G I. q. Observe;
Annual Flower Mission Day 1t
Soldiers Home.

An old fashioned picnic is to be a
feature in Masonic circles on Wednes-
day, June q, when the members Of
Marshall Lodge No. 10s and Iowa VAL
ley Lodge No. 1856 will entertain the
different lodges OF the county and those
OF towns in surrounding counties at
some point adjacent to the city, as yet
undecided upon, but probably Cottage
Grove park.
The picnic will celebrate St. Johns
day. which rightfully falls on the 24th
or the day on which John, the Baptist.
was born. The 24th this year falls on
Sunday and the following Wednesday
has been selected.
1t is the intention Of the Masons OF
the city to form on that day district
association. composed of the lodges Of
Marshall and surrunding counties, and
on each year picnic will be observed,
1T being the intention to bring together
in a social way, and for day of rec.
reation, the different lodges. The idea,
so Marshalltown Masons think, can moi
help but result beneficially to all, and
aside from the good that it can do in /:
brotherly way, the social features will
be worth the time spent in preparing
for the event.
"A basket dinner is to be enjoyed a,
the first gathering. when the associa-
ton will be formed. and railroad rates
have been secured on all roads leading
to the city. Committees have been ap.
pointed to arrange the details nf THE
affair and to see that everything is
done for the convenience and enter
tainment of the guests. The commit.
tee on arrangements from both lodge,
is composed OF Messrs. John w. Wells
chairman; I. K. Atherton, c. w. Ma
son. George r. Norris and Georg,

Sheriff shoemaker thinks he mas at

of John Byrnes, of Chicago. the insane
man who has been in Jail here for the
past three weeks, or since his attempt
to assault a young woman Of State Cen
ter. Since Byrnes' confinement here the
matter Of his disposal has been a source
of much trouble, and resulted in the
state board OF control finally agreeing to
permit him 70 be taken to the Mt. Pleas

to care for him. The sheriff has written
letter, after letter to relatives and
friends Of the man, and has received a
reply that seems favorable from one
John Warner. of 65 North Elizabeth

in charge. Sheriff Shoemaker received
letter from Warner Thursday and to-
day wired him. asking II he would re-
ceipt for Byrnes providing he would de-.
liver the man to him in Chicago. In his
letter to the sheriff Warner says that
Byrnes has been for many yeare a hard

condition Is probably due to drink. A
telegram late this afternoon from War

FISHING AT THE HOME.
Old soldiers Given an Evening on
Lake Dewey 10 Catch BullhcAds.

LID 1gG cy tOAN,1SGu
A sight that was worth seeing was the
fishing at Lake Dewey Thursday eve
ming after supper, when Commandant
Horton allowed the veterans OF the
Home to fish for bullheads. 1t is the
first fishing that has been done in the
lake, which was so heavily stocked last
fall by Fish Commissioner Delevan.#
Game fish, such as pickerel. pike, black
bass and croppies are in abundance in
the waters OF the lake, but the members
OF the Home are not privileged to fish;
The bullheads however, are getting too
thick, and the commandant thought he
would give the members the sport of
catching them. A great many We're
caught during the evening. as We're also
others of the kind that had to go back.
The sport was heartily enjoyed, and
there were number of bystanderp who
had as much pleasure out OF 1t as the
old soldiers Themselves
