 MAN FIGHT DUEL
R. p. CAMPBELL OF SELMA HAS DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH THIEF AND BOTH MEN ARE WoUNnED-NEeRo ESCAPES.

Selma. October u.--(Special)-There was fierce duel this morning on the Sum- merfield road about a mile from the city between R. P, Campbell and negro by the name of Wilbur Mahan. Yesterday afternoon Mahan went into the store of the Tissier Arms company, and while MT. Campbell, who Is an employe of the es- tablishment, had his back turned, slipped his hand Into a showcase and brought out beautiful new Colts revolver. The pistol was missed soon after the negro left the etore. and this morning MT, Campbell secured a horse and started out towards Summerfield. the negro living on the Stoudenmire place. near Summerfield.
 Mir. Campbell did not overtake the ne- gro but while returning toward the city he met him. As soon as MT. Campbell reached the negro. who was In wagon, he pulled his pistol and commanded Ma han to throw up his hands, which the ne- gro did He admitted having the pistol and made a movement as if to give it to Mr. Campbell, but the latter tod him to keep bis hands up, and calling an- other negro made Jim get the weapon from Mahan's pocket. Having secured the stolen pistol, Mir. Campbell lowered Ais own weapon. and as he did so Mahan whipped another pistol from his pocket and opened fire on MT. Campbell. Both men emptied their pistols. and the negro drove on towards Summerfeld while MT. Campbell came to the city. One of the balls had passed through MT Campbells left wrist, and being left handed he had his weapon in that hand. Another ball passed through the fleshy part of his right arm near the shoulder, cutting the end off a cigar that was in his vest pocket.
 MT. Campbell felt sure he had winged his man, and later in the day word reached the city that negro who had been shot three times had stopped at Summerfield and had his wounds dressed The negro was shot once in the leg. once in the shoulder and once through the hand. A deputy sheriff has gone to bring him back to the city

STEEL TRUST WINS SUIT.
Justice Van Sickle Gives Exhaustive Opinion In Case of Mrs. Berger.


 Trenton, N. J., October Injustice VanSickle this afternoon filed in the court of errors his written opinion in the case of Myriam Berger against the United States Steel corporation that was decided a short time ago in favor of the eorpor- ation. The opinion is an elaborate one, covering thirty-six pages and gives ex- haustively the courts reason for its de- cson.
 Justice VanSickle says the general ac- ton concerning corporations, authorizes corporations to retire shares of preferred stock purchased with the bonds or the proceeds of bonds; that the directors may declare how many shares are to be retired and that the failure to retire that number will not defeat the plan. The company, he says, has power to sell bonds on the market or to sell them to stockholders at the same value.
 Talking upon the point raised by Mrs Berger that J. P. Morgan & Co.,, who re- ceived s10.0o0,O00 commission, were being over-paid, the opinion says:
 Individual stockholders cannot ques- ton in judicial proceedings corporate acts of directors if the same are within the power of the corporation, and are not un- lawful or against good morals, and arc done in good faith in the Exercise of an honest judgment
 The court cannot substitute its judg- ment for that of the directors and ma jority of the stockholders and say that less expensive plan could have been suc- cessfully adopted"

WILL BUILD MANY
 TENEMENT HOUSES
TENNESSEE co. IS SAID TO BE
 FIGURING ON CONTRACT FOR ERECTING 500 HOUSES AT
 PRATT cITY-PEoPLE WORRIED.

Pratt City, October u.-(Special)-P. J. Rogers, superintendent of the Pratt divis- ion of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- way company, was In the city this after noon, comforting with MT. Culpepper, MT. Thomas and other contractors with ref erence to bids for the erection of 800 tene- ment houses on their property at this place. The officials are in session at the Hillman hotel in Birmingham this even- ing for the purpose of letting the con- tract and it is understood the houses will be erected right away.
 The above fact has been the source of much conjecture and comment In Pratt City, and it Is thought by some that it is the intention of the company to place non-union laborers in the houses. It was understood only short time ago that the company was on the eve of placing their resident property on the market, and some of those occupying company houses had made arrangements to vacate them. This sudden change in their plans has given rise to suspicion
 The five boys who ran away several days ago were overtaken at Warrior by s. B. Hale, father of one of the boys, and brought back to the city.
