Engineer Killed.

cident that caused the death of the en- gineer of the Scott Lumber Company at Fulton. The name of the deceased could not be ascertained and only meagro par ticulars of the accident are obtainable. It seems that the engineer wes in the en- zine room alone for some time and that when other employees went in he was found lying in the midst of the machin- cry horribly mangled and quite dead. It is supposed that he slipped and fell in the machinery or was caught by some portion thereof and fatally injured at once, as no outcry was heard and his fellow workmen had no intimation of an accident until he was found.

NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH
WOMAN CLAIMS THAT IT WAS
 ACCIDENTAL.
Engineer of Scott Lumber Company
 at Fulton Meets Death by Be- ing Caught in Machinery. News of Selma.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma. July %.
 At late hour last night hack drove up to police headquarters bearing the life less body of Matthew Sanders a well known negro about town. In the hack also was Mary Dockery, a negress, who lives on Franklin Street beyond the rail- road.
 An investigation by the authorities showed that Sanders had come to his death by reason of a pistol wound which entered his body just below the heart. Mary Cookery was the only person pres ent at the time. the fatal shot was fired and she claims that the killing was en- tirely accidental. Her story is that Sand CTS had been at work upon the railroad for some time and came home last night for the first tiee in some days. That when he entered the house he tcok a pistol from his pocket and asked her to put 1t away for him. removing the cart ridges at the time. She did not take the pistol at that time but stepped into an- other room for something and when she returned she picked the pistol up from where Sanders had put 1t with the inten- ton of placing 1t away and that while holding it in her hand 1t fired. Imme- diately Sanders ran from the room and continued to run down the street for a block when he fell.
 She called hack and started to a drug store with him in search of doctor but he expired before reaching one and she then came to police headquarters. She claims to be unable to account for the pistol firing. stoutly maintaining that she has no recollection of having her finger upon the trigger or of doing anything to cause 1t. She also maintains that there was no ill-feeling between her and de- ceased and that she had no reason to wish him harm. She supposes that Sand CTS reloaded the pistol while she was out of the room and forgot to call her atten- ton to 1t when she returned.
 A warrant was made ont against the woman charging her with murder and she Is being held at the city prison pend- ing an investigation of the tragedy by the officials
