KILLING IN ATTALLA'
czrET or PoxIcx JENKINS MET
 HIS DEATH.
Ills Assistant Wounded and Others Also Receive Severe Injuries. Old Drudge Said to Dc at
 Bottom of It.

Gadsden. Sept. 2s.-(special. .)-AttalIa was tiie scene of a murder Saturday night about o'clock. in which the chief of ponce was Killed. negro shot in the head and two white citizens shot.
 From the best information obtainable
 ' seems that John White, white man, became involved in a row in Fowler saloon with a negro and had shot the negro In the side of the head. When Chief of Police Jenkins and Officer Blank ensnip went to the saloon to arrest White ne resisted and shot at the officers. who returned the fire promptly. In the ex- change of'shots Chief Jenkins was struck In the right cheek and the ball went through the brain and came out in the pack of the head. causing instant death. Omcer blankenship was shot in the shoulder and badly wounded.
 White was assisted in his fight with the police by a stranger named Gibbs who made his escape by the rear door of the Fowler saloon. White was shot in the left arm. The negro, who was shot in the head by White is still alive but 1t is expected that he will die. The she-iffs ofiice in Gadsden was notified of the killing and a special car was run over to Attalla for the officers. When they arrived there Gibbs had made his escape and White was in a doctors office having his arm dressed. He was arrested and brought to Gadsden and placed in jail. Those who profess to know state with emphasis that Chief Jenkins was mur- dered outright and that the row with the negro was only blind to get the chief to attempt the arrest of White so he could kill him.
 There has been some friction in the police force of Attalla for some time and the former chief. a man named White, was relieved from duty. White. who is fin Jail, is cousin to Walker White. who Is under charge of killing an inoffensive negro at Attalla two years ago. White refuses to talk except to say that it was a drunken row and that Gibbs, the man who got away, was the one who killed Jenkins. Attalla is at the mercy of the law-breakers now. as the Mayor Is sick. chief of police dead and his assistant wounded and laid up.

 Wreck on Southern. The first through train from the East since Sunday night came in last night at Il o'clock. It was the first section of train 3 due at 9:20 p. m.
 Yesterday morning at il o'clock train came in from Atlanta, having been made up there and being strictly local. The first section of No. 37 last night brought the joint runs of the train that should have come through at Il o'clock yester- day morning and of train No. 97, which was in the frightful wreck on the South- ern Railway Sunday afternoon.

While the movement of cotton Is nec- essarily not as heavy now as 1t was this time last year." said local freight man yesterday. still the railroads en- tering Montgomery are handling piles of the fieecy stuff now from the fact that 1t all seems to be coming in in lump"
 Not only the railroads, but the wagons keep busy and cotton Is coming in at a lively rate, the railroads hauling 1t out equally as fast.
 According to the railroad man quoted the outward movement is about equally divided between the export business and mills or home consumption.
