The Killing of Holzenback.

United States marshal D. N. Cooper has returned from Boaz, in Marshal County, where he went to investigate the killing of Deputy Marshal J. N. Holzenback on Saturday afternoon last. Marshal Cooper states that Holzenback was not shot from ambush as first reported. It seems that the deputy and his son had arrested a man named w. H. Moore, on a charge of being interested in an illicit distillery.' En route to Gadsden the. trio were met in the road by L. D. Huffman, who was accused before of running a still, but had not been arrested. Huffman asked to be allowed to speak to Moore and Holzen- back told him he would have to talk to him in his presence. Huffman became angry and then commenced firing, so it is charged, shooting the son first and then killing the father. Moore made no effort to run away. and is under arrest in Gadsden. Huffman got away and ef- forts are being made to apprehend him.

Hopkins on Iron Market.

E. 0. Hopkins. president of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, who returned few days ago from the East. gives out an interview on the general situation which is most cheering. He said that the iron market is in the best condition he has known and so far as Alabama is concerned he is of the opinion that the State Is entering the greatest year by far in It's history. Things are in a much better shape than when iron was at ST per ton. for then the market was not a natural one nor was 1t steady while the SIP basis is a result of the general demand. This price, MT. Hop kins believes can be maintained through the year. MT. Hopkins states further that in the East. Alabama and Birming- ham in particularly are quite widely talk ed about and the section Is favored con- siderably in money circles. The Sloss Company is manufacturing quite large amount of iron and producing no little quantity of coal and coke at present with prospects of the pig iron production being increased from 150 to 250 tons day by April 1st. ..
