BURGLAR MISTOOk TOWN
 MARSHAL FOR WHITE cow

for him to halt. but he cursed me and started running. I fired once and the ball passed through the shoulder of his coat, merely grazing his skin. l fired the sec ond time and the ball hit him on the cheek and passed through his mouth, coming out under tile eye on the opposite side of his face.
 He fell over pile of brick and I caught him. We found the money on the pile of bricks where Harris had fallen.
 Harris had bottle Of nitro-glycerine, some fuses and caps. and a regular kit of burglar tools. He claims he was an employe of the Southern railroad and his home is in Pulaski, Tenn. I brought him here for fear he would escape"
 A peculiar feature of the capture of Harris was his statement that he thought the marshal was white COW, and there- fore did not make an attempt to escape as early as he might have done. He says that he would have had plenty of time to escape had he known that the white object he saw coming toward him was a man. This is accounted for by the fact that Marshal Baker was in his night clothes.

TRUSSYILLE MAN
 SHOT BY FRIEND
JOHN BOWEN RECEIVES SERIOUS WOUND WHILE JOKING IN BAR RooM--HE THINKS IT WAS Ac- cIDENTAL.

John Bowen, a prominent citizen of Trussville, was brought to Birmingham early yesterday morning in Warner & smileys ambulance and taken to St. Vim cents hospital.
 In a friendly disturbance at Trussville Saturday morning he was seriously, if not fatally. injured by friend of his while they were drinking together in bar room.
 The bullet from a pistol struck Bowen in the breast and passed almost entirely through him. It lodged under his shoulder blade in the back and was taken out yes terday by the physicians at the hospital.
 Bowen stated at the hospital:
 sWe were drinking together in sa- loon, and were on the best of terms. My friend had pistol in his hand and jok- ingly said he was going to shoot me. I laughed at him and told him to shoot ahead. He did so I do not think that he intended shooting me with any crim- inal intent. but pulled the trigger before he thought what he was doing"
 Last night it was stated that while Bowen was In very serious condition that he would probably live. The bullet had not struck any vital part of the body, but that the patient was suffering more from the fatigue of his twenty-mile ride in the ambulance. The physicians believe that as soon as he rests from the ride he will begin to show signs of improve ment.

STRIKE OUTLOOK
 MORE FAVORABLE It is Thought the Two Sides
 Will Come Together ALL HANDS TAKE HOLIDAY There Is Much Speculation As to What John Mitchell Has Advised MT.
 Farley in Regard to the
 Strike eituation.
ALL HANDS TAKE HOLIDAY

There have been no developments in the miners strike since the 1st of July. but many operators are inclined to believe that now, that the Fourth is passed, something will be done looking to an early agreement on a wage scale.
 United Mine Workers headquarters In the Challfoux building were closed yes terday, and few miners were seen in Birmingham. W. R. Fairley. Alabama's national committeeman, who has been in Indianapolis to confer with President John Mitchell, Is expected to return to- day There is much speculation in op- erators' circles as to what MT. Mitchell advises with regards to the situation here
 A prominent corporation official said yesterday that the miners wanted to re- turn to work and that so far as he could learn a majority of the men were ex- pressing themselves now as being willing to accept the operators proposition grant, Ing an advance of 21a cents a ton. When the question Is taken up again. said the official, q do not believe the miners will insist on the eight-hour day and the seHl-HoHlhly pay udSt anu uO hOe po- lieve that President Mitchell Is going to advise the men to hold out against our position. If the iron market were strong instead of weak I would expect the min CTS to press their demands for an in- crease of 5 cents but in view of the soft ening market the operators think 2M cents advance is more than liberal"
 While District President Ed. Flynn has authority to call meeting of the joint convention whenever he sees fit, he will probably wait until he is requested to do so by one side or the other.
 The suspension of work affects directly about 13.0OO mine workers.

BURGLARS CAUGHT
 AND THEFTS STOP
SINCE THE ARREST OF RUTHER- FORD AND THE TWO OTHER MEN CAUGHT IN JUNE THERE IS A DEARTH OF STEALING.

There has been a dearth of burglaries and robberies in Birmingham for the past week or ten days. and the police believe that they have effectually broken it up for the time being. They know that it is liable to break out again any day, and run for a while. but they think that they have caught the leaders of the gangs which have been working on both north and south side.
 In Walter Rutherford, the giant negro who broke into and robbed more than a dozen houses, they believe they caught the man who was at the head of the South Highlands gang. There has not been a burglary in that neighborhood since he was captured and landed in jail over 5000 in goods were recovered.
 Arthur Charles, alias Charles Woods, and Walter Sharp, two more negroes, are said to have worked the north side. They were arrested on June 20 and were be- lleved to be the two negroes which broke into the residence of Henry P. Cheno- weth, at 2414 Seventh avenue. north. They also broke into and robbed a resi- dence near Twenty-first street and Fifth avenue, one at Fourth avenue and Six teenth street; one at 613 Sixteenth street, where w. H. Crumrine lives. The two negroes got a watch $37 in money and some other valuables at this place.

HUNDREDS FLOCK
 ID COOLING PARKS
Observance of Fourth of July
 Did Not Stop Crowds
EAST LAKE THE FAV0RlTE
There the Band Concert, Promenade, Boating and Drives Drew the Greatest Portion of clty's
 swelterlng Humanity.

The observance of the holiday on satur- day caused no diminution in the number of people that visited Birminghams parks yesterday. The day was ideal except for the heat, and that very heat was the thing that drew so many people from thelr homes to enjoy the cooling hreezes of trolley ride or to seek the shade Of the various public resorts.
 As usual East Lake had the largest number of visitors. As Sunday attraction this park offers not only long ear ride, but also an excellent band concert, boat ing and a promenade or drive along the banks of the lake, the latter feature be- ing second only in Alabama to the famous shell road drive along Mobile bay.
 At North Birmingham and at Avondale parks the springs are the greatest attrac- ton, and all the afternoon they were sur rounded by throngs eager for a draugnt of the cool sparkling water.
 All the street car lines were well pa- tronlzed. Many residents of Ensley, Bes- semer, Pratt City, West End and along the Gate City line rode to the city, and on the other hand many urbanites visited the suburbs The Highland avenue and the Eleventh avenue loops attracted many, and the cars were filled along these lines all day.
 To those who preferred to wait until later in the afternoon and take stroll the Red mountain road was most attrac- tive By riding to the end of the South Highlands line and then continuing along the macadamized road up the mountain a better panoramic view of the city and suburbs Is probably offered than from any other vantage point in the district The road was well crowded yesterday, and many of the promenaders continued to the top of the mountain and strolled along its crest.
 Birmingham's people are known far and wide as church-goers, and the heat does not seem to make much difference Most of the churches were well filled at both services yesterday.

Because he mistook a marshal in white nightgown for a white cow Frank Harris safeblower, is now in the hands of the authorities at Jasper. He was caught blowing the safe in the postoffice at Oakman several nights ago by Marshal Baker who had hastily gotten out of bed when he heard the explosion, and by not waiting to dress succeeded in catching Harris
 The safeblower was brought to Blrm- ingham yesterday morning and placed in the county jail. Later it was found that he would have to be tried in Jasper. so he was taken back on the afternoon train.
 Marshal Baker who made the capture, said yesterday afternoon:
 q live about 100 yards from the post office and heard the explosion when the safe was blown. I looked out of the window and saw a man strike three matches in the postoffee. I was un- dressed but grabbed my pistol and ran out of the house.
 ''As I reached the postoffice Harris was leaving with several bundles of registered mail and money under his arm. I called
