DEPUTY NOT SHOT
FROM AMBUSH
HoLSENBECk WAS KILLED BY L.
z. HUFFMAN, WHO Is SAID TO
BE AN ILLICIT oIsTlLLER--HE
Is STILL AT LARGE.

United States Marshal Cooper, who has
been in the vicinity of Boaz for the past
three days endeavoring to capture the
persons who shot Deputy Marshal Hell
senback, returned to the city yesterday
The assassins were not taken owing to
the fact that they had SO hours start of
the officers The killing occurred Satur-
day and Marshal Cooper could not reach
Boaz until the following Monday on ac-
count of poor railway connections.
Marshal Cooper states that the report
that Holsenback was shot from ambush
is incorrect; that he was shot by L. E.
Huffman, who Is said to have been en-
gagged In running an Illicit still.
Deputy Marshal Holsenback and his
son had arrested j. H. Moore. who is
said to have been running the still In
which Huffman was interested, and they
were on the way to Boaz with him when
Huffman came up. He spoke to Moore,
saying: Let me speak to you moment"
Deputy Holsenback replied: You will
have to speak to him in my presence"
This angered Huffman, who. making
some remark to Hoisenback, leveled his
gun at young Holsenback, who carried
a gun, and emptied one barrel at him
and the other at Hosenback. The boy
was seriously injured and IIolsenback
killed. Huffman then fled. but as he ran
young Holsenback fired at him, but weak
ened from loss of blood. his aim was bad,
and Huffman escaped.
Moore, the prisoner of the Holsenbacks
did not attempt to escape at the time of
the shooting. as has been stated, but was
carried to Alfalfa and placed in jail,
where he Is now held.
Huffman is said to be wanted in Geor-
gia on a charge of Illicit distilling The
officers feel certain he will be captured
in the next few days.

that Malaria, Fevers and Ague are nee

alize that these diseases are slowly but
surely sapping their general vitality
These intermittent fevers, malaria. fever
and ague, swamp fever, Jungle fever
ETC., are the most persistent enemies ~
the human race. If the aggregate OF harm
they do could be realized, they would he
fought as plaques.
These diseases are the result of xva.r-
ness, of poisoned, iriicrobiai blood. ana n

that the insects which infest new co,,n-

EAST SIDE TAILORS OUT.
AFFECTED BY GARMENT WORK
ERS' STRIKE.

The first summer strike on a large scale which
has taken place among the East Side garment
workers for four or five years went into effect
yesterday morning. The strike fever began late
last week by a strike of the knee breeches max
ers for an advance Of per cent in wages. Then
the waistcoat makers began to grow uneasy.
Late on Saturday night hurry calls from all the
houses in the other branches of the tailoring
trade were issued for meetings The result
was that after midnight strikes were declared
by the coat taors. waistcoat makers, trousers
makers. children's jacket makers sailors jacket
makers and buttonhole makers.
The East Side was swarmng with strikers
hurrying to the headquarters OF the unions
Of their respective trades, at all Of which meet
ings were held The largest of the unions is the
Brotherhood of Tailors. composed Of coat tall
ors. Up to yesterday five thousand or six thou
sand coat tailors were on strike, and more
expected TO quit work to-day. The strikers
in the other trades aggregate about twenty
thousand. and 1t is expected that the Lithu-
anian tailors who form a branch by them
selves, and the rest of the twelve thousand coat
taiors in greater New-York, will strike.
The different unions involved In the strikes
established headquarters. where mass meetings
were held all day. The largest Of the mass
meetings was that of the coat tailors which
was held in New Irving Hall, Broome-st. The
coat tailors demand a ffty-six hour working
week and union conditions. Some of the other
unions have not yet prepared their demands.
but will do so to-day.
The unions on strike are all in n central body
known the Garment Workers Trades Coun-
ell. The Cloakmakers Union is the only large
East Side organization not affiliated with the
council The council appointed a settlement
committee. which will meet daily at No. 32S
East Houston-st 1t was announced last even
ing that the tailors In Brownsville, a suburb OF
Brooklyn. had gone strike.
