Ross to erect a five-room cottage on Fifth street at a cost of $S50, which is simply the cost of erection. The house will cost nearly $1250 when completed. Just as soon as it is completed the Rev. R. A. Timmons, one of the best known super anuated ministers in Alabama, will be asked to occupy the home

NEGRO ATTEMPTS TO
 ASSAULT A WOMAN
MRS. JEFF INGRAM HAS TERRIFIC STRUGGLE WITH BLACK BRUTE NEAR cENTREVlLLE-MOB IS NOW IN PURSUIT.

Centreville, November 7.-(special)- Sheriff E. II. Crawford has just received a telephone message from the Abercrom- bic settlement in Bibb county, about ten miles south of Centreville, stating that about o'clock this morning big black negro, who was a stranger in that neigh borhood. attempted to criminally assault Mrs. Jeff Ingram. a white woman. The negro caught Mrs. Ingram and terrible struggle followed. The woman succeeded in preventing the brute from accomplish ing his purpose, but not until he had torn her clothes from her body. Some neighbors were attracted by her cries and the negro ran away.
 The negro fled toward the Jackson lum- Der camps. Many white men with dogs are now in pursuit and if caught he will in all probability be lynched. The negro is supposed to be one of a crowd of hands cutting timber in that section for the Jackson Lumber company.

PRATT CITY WANTS
 4 UNION STATION Strong Efforts Will be Made to
 Obtain a Site
K. C. CROSSING IS FAVORED
1t Is Conveniently Located and Is the Juncture of Several Railroads--Va- uabIe Land Tracts Will Be
 Offered to New Industries

Pratt City, November 7-(Special.)-Th citizens of Pratt City, through the Com mereial club and the council will make a determined effort to get the various rail- roads that run into the city to build union depot. The site decided on as an ideal one is the Kansas City crossing. as it is the iuncture of the Frisco, the Louis vile and Nashville, the Alabama Great Southern and the Southern. For a long time the people of Pratt City have agitat- ed the question of building a union depot but the proposed site and the only one that would have been convenient was out of the city limits. Now that Frenehtown, which embraces the site. will soon become a part of Pratt City, the efforts in behalf of the depot will be started at once.
 The Frisco has a depot in Frenehtown that is accessible to both Pratt City and Ensley. The express company of these cities receive their express through this depot and here Pratt City merchants also receive a large part of their freight Since the Frisco built the depot six years ago, the officials have found it necessary to enlarge it three times, and so rapid is the growth of business that it will be necessary to make another addition at an early date unless some relief comes in the shpe of union depot.
 In addition to the depot plan, the off, cals of Pratt City, in fixing the bounda- ries in the act, recently passed by the legislature, left outside of the city limits some valuable tracts that they expect to offer for the location of industries. The officials say that these sites are ideal ones for manufacturing plants. as they will have railroad facilities, water, coal, raw material, and police and fire protection without paying any city taxes.
 Mayor Hundall in the police court this morning showed, by decision, that there was mercy even in the new vagraney law recently enacted by the legislature affective the first of this month.
 William Parker, an old negro 75 years of age who, 1t was shown, bore an eX- cellent character, was charged with vagrancy. The mayor after hearing the testimony, which revealed that the old man is supported by sons, who were over 21 years of age and in consideration of his good character, turned him loose.
