Latter f is Said Attempted to
 Shoot Him
BROCATOS MAKES BOND
Trouble Originated Between Two Me- eroes, Bud Evans and John Mc- Coy-Bud Evans Is Also
 Arrested.

John Broeatos, Creek shot and killed John Mccoy, negro, yesterday morn- ing about Ills o'clock at the mouth of Fourth alley and Twenty-sixth street.
 The Greek was arrested, but was all lowed to make bond of $500, the evidence in the case being that he was justified and that the negro threatened to kill him.
 The trouble originated between two negroes, Bud Evans and John Mccoy. Mccoy, it is said, shot at Evans twice and was running away when he met John Brocatos who stepped into the cen ter of the pavement. The negro pointed his pistol at the Greek and asked him what business it was of his and threat ened to kill him. At that the latter drew his pistol. and as he did so the negro turned and started to run. The Greek fired twice, one of the bullets striking the negro in the back of the head and the other hitting him in the back just above the hips. The negro fell and was carried to his room short distance away. He died before the am bulance could come to take him away.
 The Greek went to the city jail and surrendered to the police Judge Feagin was told the facts in the case and all lowed him to make bond for $500.
 Bub Evans, the other negro implicated was arrested on a charge of assault with intent to murder. He is accused of as- saulting the other negro, it is said he shot at him twice.

COURT OFFICIALS
 ENJOY A HOLIDAY
ALL THE COURTS WERE CLOSED YEsTERDAY-IN THE sHERlFF'S OFFICE DEPUTIES ARE KEPT READY FOR EMERGENCIES.

The courthouse was deserted yesterday with a very few exceptions.
 Probate Judge Stiles was in his office for an hour, but the other courtrooms were closed. In the Criminal court several of the clerks and assistants were at work for a part of the day, but in nearly every instance the officials and employees en- joyed the Christmas festivities.
 There was one place which was by no means deserted. the sheriffs office, where deputies remained all day in readiness to respond to any call. Several times they were called out, but not on any serious cases.
 At the county jail the unfortunates there enjoyed a royal Christmas dinner consisting of roast pork and other things not given them except on special oc- casions. The menu embraced cake lux ury which the prisoners seldom have.
 The government building was prac- tically deserted with the exception of the postoffice, where the clerks were kept busy for several hours in the morning. About noon notices were posted that the office would be closed for the balance of the day.
 The office holders in Birmingham en- joyed Christmas for day, brushing aside the cares and difficulties of routine work to be with their families and around their firesides where Christmas cheer, happi- ness and peace reigned.

TWO DAYS ARRESTS
 NUMBER OVER 200
MOST OF THE CASES DOcKETED AT THE CITY JAIL WERE FOR PLAIN DRUNKs-soME DRAGGED FROM WAGON.

During the forty-eight hours ending at noidnieht last night there were about 150 cases entered on the city docket ana with those who were allowed to make bond without being brought to the jail the number of arrests for the two days amounted to between 175 and 200.
 Most of the cases were plain trunks. Many, however, had to be dragged from the patrol wagon and laid on the floor of the city jail, they being unable tc walk or talk. There were only few cases made for anything more than a misdemeanor. although there were sev- eral assaults with intent to murder and several of assault and battery. Several of the arrested people had pistols.

POSTOFFICE HAS
 HAD BIG RUSH
POSTMASTER HUGHES PRAISES WORK OF HIS EMPLoYEs-MEN HAVE WORKED FROM 12 TO 1s HOURS A DAY.

The clerks in the local postoffice have worked early and late for the past week and Postmaster Hughes is grateful to them for their faithfulness. He desires to thank the entire force, including the clerks in every department, the carriers and the special delivery boys.
 Since Wednesday of last week the clerks and assistants in the postoffice have worked from P to IS hours a day, and a number. especially in the registry department, assisted by clerks in the other departments, were on duty for twenty-four hours, without a rest, send ing out for their meals.
 They were on duty Christmas eve from ' o'clock Tn the morning until o'clock in the morning on the 18th.
 In this connection Postmaster Hughes last night said:
 "If I have made any reputation as a postmaster 1t is owing to the employees in the office. They have given me loyal, faithful and sincere support in perform ing their duties.
 "The Christmas presents going out of the Birmingham postoffce this year have been greatly in excess of any previous year and shows the prosperity as I may now say. of Greater Birmingham. as the postoffce includes the entire territory from the extreme east of Woodlawn to West End in Birmingham proper
 Yesterday so large was the number of packages received in the postofflce that wagon was required to convey them to the residence districts of the city.
 All mails received in the postoffce up to s:SO o'clock yesterday morning were delivered before noon.
 The usual registry force is usually two day clerks and one night clerk. During the past four days four clerks have been on duty and after 6:SO D. m. to ? a. m. nine men worked in this department. The clerks were from other departments in the office and were working overtime. This shows a phenominal increase in the reg lstry department over previous Christ mas rushes.

VAN ARSDALL WAS
 MAN WHO WAS SHOT
MISTAKEN IDENTITY OF VICTIM
 OF WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AF- FRAY-IT WAS WAITER IN RES
 TAURANT WHO WAS WOUNDED.

A curious instance of mistaken identity occurred Wednesday night when yourg man, supposed to be Eugene Carter. a blacksmith, was shot by a Greek fruit dealer named George Paris. It has come to light that the man who was shot was Earl Van Arsdall, employed as a waiter in the Ellis restaurant. and that only a half hour before he was shot he was waiting on Captain W. E. Wier in the restaurant.
 Several people identified the young man coming from Vineville. but Fred Wehage, who runs the Ellis. stated last night that the boy is from St. Louis, and has been here only about month.
 At the hospital last night 1t was stated that Van Arsdall was resting well. but that he had very little chance to live. It was found after a more careful investi- shot twice, once in the chin and once in the rear of the head. A portion of the skull was taken out yesterday near the wound in the back of his head
 Among the people who identified the wounded man as Carter was Floy Harris, a negro, who stated he had known Car ter for years and was raised in the same town with him.
 The mistake in identity is supposed to have been caused by the fact that the wounded man was badly disfgured by blood. Paris is still in jail and is being held to await the result of the wounds.

Several Hundred People Are
 Beautifully Fed
300 BASKETS GIVEN AWAY
Two Long Tables, at Each of Which 103 Guests Sat, Were Laid in the Hall on First
 Avenue.

If tbere was a man, woman or child In Birmingham who did not have square meal yesterday, it was not the fault of the charitable people of Birmingham ana especially the members of the local post of the Salvation army.
 Commencing about noon, every one who called at the headquarters of the SalVa- ton army at i720 First avenue was given bountiful meal and there was still some to spare when the last guest had de parted with assurances to the army people that he had had good meal and could eat nothing more.
 Besides this there were over POO bas- kets, each containing enough food to give five people a good meal distributed among the poor of the city Wednesday, and these gave meals to many who would otherwise have gone hungry. The bas- kets were given by the Salvation army and the United charities.
 There were two dinners served at the Salvation army headquarters yesterday, and the sight there was one that will never be forgotten by those who were privileged to witness it. Two long tables te'h'tACNAiH7t spread in the hall, and on them was piled food in the greatest plenty and of all varieties At these tables 103 people could be seated at time, and more than twice the capacity of them was taxed
 The children were invited to the repast first and they filled the hall. As each entered he was given a ticket showing that he was eligible to a seat. He was not asked to move until he had eaten all he desired. After that the grown people were invited in and for the sec ond time the hall was filled. These were | likewise invited to eat all that they wanted, and they availed themselves of the invitation.
 The hall was decorated in true Christ mas style The walls were festooned with holly and evergreens, while at the upper end an arch of green was built over a floral cross set with electric lights The tables were supplied with turkey. sauces, dressings, vegetables pies and fruits
 Among the decorations was a picture of General Booth, the commander in chief of the Salvation army, and also one of his daughter. the consul and Com mander Booth-Tucker.
 At the Shelter home. on Second avenue near Twenty-flrst street, provisions suf- fieient to give 100 people were provided. The inmates of that branch of the work were well provided for and were bounti- fully fed. The army's work this year was on a much larger and more success full basis than ever before, and the com manders in charge were congratulated yesterday on all sides.

NOBODY IS EXEMPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
 VIII Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is disor- dered more or less, and the commonest thing they do for it is to take some one of the many so-called blood purifiers which in many cases are merely strong cathartics Such things are not needed If the organs are in clogged condition they need only a little help and they will right themselves. Cathartics irri- tate the sensitive Things of the stomach and bowels and often do more harm than good
 Purging is not what Is needed The thing to do is to put the food in condi- tion to be treated readily dgested and assimlated Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what is eaten and give the stomach just the help it needs. They stimulate the secretion and excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system in condition to do it's york. When that is done you need take no more tablets. unless you eat what does not agree with you. Then take one or two tablets-give them needed help and you will have no trouble.
 It's a commonsense medicine and a commonsense treatment and 1t will cure every time Not only cure the disease but cure the cause. Goes about it in a perfectly sensible and scientific way.
 we nave tuOuBn 10 HI a book, but we don't publish many of them However, Mrs. F. M. Faith, of Byrd's Creek. Wis, says:
 'I have taken all the Tablets I got of you and they have done their work well in my case, for I feel like different person altogether. don't doubt if had not got them should have been at rest by this time"
 H. E. Willard Anslaw, Ia., says: "Mr. White of Canton was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of Dyspep- sia from which he suffered for eight years. As I am a sufferer myself wish you to send me a package by return mail"
 H. F. Willard, Ia.. says: 'Mr. White, of Canton, was telling me of your Dys- pepsia Tablets curing him of Dyspepsia from which he suffered for eight years. As I am a sufferer myself l wish you to send me a package by return mail"

 It will cost 50c. to find out just how much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will help you Try them-that's t--e best way to decide.

BRILLIANT MUSIC
 IN THE CHURCHES
CATHOLIC, EPISCOPAL AND LU- THERAN SONG APPROPRIATE TO THE JOYOUS FESTIVAL. LARGE CHolRS IN FINE FORM.

The Catholic. Episcopal and Lutheran churches were largely attended yesterday.
 The music at all these churches was exceptionally brilliant. At the 10 o'clock mass at the church of Our Lady of Sor- rows a new mass by Marzo was well sung. and at St. Pauls church, at lO:So o'clock Memolfs mass No. was given in artistic style.
 St. Pauls choir numbered about thirty singers and it was suII orted by select orchestra. All the soloists acquitted themselves with high credit, and Mrs Putnam the solo soprano was never, per- haps, in better voice. Besides her solos in the mass Mrs. Putnam sang an Ave Maria by Monestel. Father Kerrigan was the celebrant and preacher.
 At the Church of the Advent the choir, under the direction of Edward G. Powell sang Bucks festival Te Deum and the Christmas hymns in excellent style At St Mary s-on-the-H Highlands, the choir was never heard to better advantage. Miss Gockel, organist and director at St. Marys, had conducted many rehearsals for the Christmas services and the fault less ensemble was the result of her care ful method of training. The re Deum, by Chapman; the Jubilate, by Nevin, and the oratorio selections were all rendered in a musically manner. Mrs. Cathings sang the solo in "Oh, Thou That Tellest v and Mrs. Chandler was the soloist in the offertory pieca Greatly Rejoice" The last musical number was "The Heavens Are Telling" and the congregation stood while it was slaZ
 At the German Evargejcal Lutheran church several beautiful chorales were sung
