CLERK BURGIN REPLIES
To Censure of the Criminal Court by the
 Police Department

Referring to the recent statement of Po- failure of the criminal court to convict gamblers, MT. William Burgin, clerk of the criminal court, said yesterday:
 There have been but two cases for gam ing appealed to this court since w. c. Aus tin was elected chief of police namely, J. w. Mason and William Hooker. These cases are still pending for trial in this court, a jury having been demanded by each-of the defendants.
 'The records of this court will show that not single defendant has even been tried for gaming, upon appeal from Judge Fea- gins court since the election of Chief Aus tin
 Tn reference to the statement in Chief Austin's report that he had arrested quite number of parties for keeping gaming tables and had sufficient evidence to bind over and indict them, and why they were not convicted he did not know, I will say that the records of this court show that three cases have been tried where parties were charged with keeping gaming tables namely, William Shaw, J. s. Mcintosh and Frank Simon. These three cases were tried promptly by jury and each of the said parties was acquitted. These are the over by Judge Feagin. Quite a number of defendants were bound over and the cases investigated by the grand jury but no bills returned. Among these being the famous 'Echxange' and 'Oivette cases"

FOUGHT DUEL ON
 A PUBLIC STREET
Huntsville Has Desperate Shoot
 ing Affair.
WOMAN BEHIND TROUBLE
E. E. Dean and Davis H. Sanders De- eide That One Must Die and Draw Revolvers Both Men Are
 Mortally Wounded

Huntsville, June 21.-(SpeciaD-E. F. Dean a pasture owner and grocerman, and Davis H. Sanders, barkeeper at w. F. Struves' saloon engaged in a desperate shooting af- fray on Jefferson street at noon today, and as a result both men are dying tonight.
 The affair occurred at the entrance of the saloon. friend of Sanders says Dean sent a negro into the saloon and brought Sanders out to the Jefferson street door. This, however, cannot be substantated. This version of the affair Is to the effect that Dean, who stood outside, met Sanders at the door, and with an epithit made some statement and Sanders gave Dean the lie.
 Dean reached for his pistol, saying No man can say I am liar and live' San ders reached for his gun, saying as he did so, Then we can die together"
 Dean fired two shots before Sanders could get his pistol out and then both fired two shots. Sanders was shot twice in the stomach and once in the leg.
 One bullet lodged in his watch
 Dean was shot in the back and over the left nipple. The shooting was the outcome of rumors which have been af1oat recently connecting the name of Sanders with Deans wife
 Dean, it is said, believed when he ap- preached Sanders that his wife was locked up in a room above the saloon, and, cusing Sanders of this, provoked the fight. Mrs Dean approached her husband soon after he was shot, but he angrily drove her away, saying she had caused all of the trouble.
 Physicians who are attending the men expect them both to die before morning.
 Sanders and Dean are married men, and both have families. Both are regarded as good men and of unquestonable courage.

Night Telegraph Operator at Railroad Junction Office Was Found on the Floor Where He Had Been

Bessemer, June H.-(Special )-There have been many rumors circulating through town this afternoon and tonight regarding the strike It was very generally under stood late this evening that the men had reported for work. In reply to an inquiry Superintendent John Bowling states that though he has been told that the men intend to return to work, they have not yet done so. It is believed that they will apply for their old places in the morning and that the furnaces will be put in blast at once The men, it seems, express them- selves willing to return on the old condi- tons. The only thing likely to interfere may be the determination on the part of the men to be taken back in a body. There is possibility that the company may demur to this.

account of the great fire which occurred in
that town last week. The fire is supposed

started by an escaped convict from Co
lombia. When the flames broke out he
rushed from the burning building, armed
with machete, and endeavored to pre-
vent the fremen putting out the fire. He
was finally shot down and killed.
The bucket brigade was unable to handle
the fire, and large force of men was en-
pioyed in pulling down the houses to pre-
vent the spread Of the flames This failed
to stop the fire. Gunpowder was used.
and buildings in the way of the flames
were blown up. The fire was checked in
this way the rain which fell heavily dur
ing the fire having no effect.
The heaviest loser was the United Fruit
Company, but its loss is covered by in
surance in local companies. The losses
were 81, $4,000; insurance. $366,00O. Only
three stores remained standing. The Presi-
dent of the Republic came from San Jose
to take command Of the work Of checking

driven out Of their houses during the fire,
took refuge with their household goods or,
