YOUNG MAN DIES 7 FROM RIFLE SHOT John Butts of Pratt City Killed
 by Friend AT A TARGET PRACTICE Melvin Hendricks Who Fired the Fatal Shot Claims That 1t Was AccI-
 dental-coroner Paris i.f Will Investigate.
AT A TARGET PRACTICE

While with party of young people at Village Falls yesterday afternoon John Butts, an employe of the rolling mills at Pratt City, was shot and fatally wound ed. He died a short time afterwards at Dr. Cunninghams hospital at Ens1ey.
 It is not known exactly how the gun was discharged. It is claimed that 1t was accidental, but Coroner Paris will hold an inquest this morning. The gun was in possession of Melvin Hendricks when it was fired, and he states that 1t was purely accidental.
 A party of young people from Pratt City were spending a portion of the after noon at Village Falls, which Is about four miles from Pratt City. One of the party had a small target rifle and they had been shooting at marks during the afternoon. The gun, 1t seems, was re- loaded and Hendricks had 1t in his hand
 It was stated last night that the pa rents of the boy who was killed think there is something strange In connection with the shooting, and therefore the cor oners investigation will be held.
 The dead man was about 22 years old and leaves a father and mother. Hen drieks will not be held unless the cor oner's investigation shows some facts which have not yet been brought out
 The remains were carried to the under taking parlors of Sam Foley, where they were prepared for burial. The coroner inquest will probably be held there this morning.

SICK MAN FIGHTS
 4 BIG POLICEMAN Perry Brown of Nashville Turn ed Out to be 0bstrepercuS TOLD A PECULIAR STORY While Officer Was Doing Stranger a Kindness by Taking Him to Head
 quarters for Medical Treat
 ment Struggle Ensues.

Policeman vandiver had an exciting time early yesterday morning with Perry Brown, who claims to be a candy maker ard halls from Nashville. As a result of the trouble the policeman has a pair of black eyes and Brown has very sore head and is suffering from several bruises on his face and body made by the police mans fist
 It seems that Brown was acting strangely on the streets and the police man took him in charge to conduct him to police headquarters to find him medi- cal attention. Brown came along very quietly most of the way. but suddenly and without warning turned and struck the policeman twice in the face with his fist. Not wishing to hurt the man Police man vandiver did not strike him with his club for some time, but the two had a scuffle in which several blows were ex- changed. Finally the policeman was con- strained to strike Brown with the club, and he knocked him down.
 In the scuffle the policemans pistol had fallen on the ground without his being conscious of 1t. When Brown fell he se- cured the pistol and tried every way pos sible to shoot the policeman. He had the hammer half way back when the police- man grabbed the pistol and prevented it's going back any further.
 Policeman Vandiver is one of the largest men on the force He merely sat on Brown and held him down until he had complete control of the situation. Af- ter being landed in Jail Brown tried to whip the stevedore and every one else with whom he came in contact.
 Yesterday afternoon Brown regained consciousness and explained that he re- oeived a blow on the head some months ago, and that as soon as he takes a couple of drinks he loses all control of himself and has spasms or fits, which make him perfectly unconscious. In this condition he fights desperately everyone who comes near.
 He tells funny tale, and the police are rather suspicious of him. The of ficials of Nashville have been written to find out who Brown is and whether he has a record.

TO VISIT SCENES
 OF BIG BATTLE
MAJOR JOHN w. JOHNSTON EN
 ROUTE TO MISSISSIPPI TO GO OVER FIELDS WITH GENERAL
 STEPHEN D. LEE.

Major John W. Johnston, formerly a resident of Birmingham, is in the city en route to Mississippi, where he will meet General Stephen D. Lee and go over sev- eral of the battlefelds in that state.
 Major Johnston and General Lee were in the battle of vicksburg together and they are very anxious to go over the scenes again and refresh their memories as to the localities and incidents asso- ciated with them. Major Johnston will leave this morning for vicksburg.
 Since he was here several months ago on a visit Major Johnston has been very sick. He was in a hospital in Baltimore for some time, and his health is not as good as when he lived in Birmingham. Until the early part of last fall Major Johnston lived here and was actively in- terested in many enterprises and move ments. He left here then for Richmond, where his home is at present

JOINT CONFERENCE
 ASSEMBLIES TODAY
OPERATORS AND UNITED MINE WORKERS WILL MEET AND CON. SlDER WAGE SCALE TO DATE FROM JULY 1.

The coal operators and the United
 miners will open their joint wage scale
 conference today at 10 a. m. The sessions
 will be held in Fox's hall and will be
 public.
 Last Thursday the miners adopted their
 scale to be presented to the operators, but
 as this was done In executive session no
 part of the scale has yet been made pub
 lic It will be read this morning soon
 after the conference is organized.
 It is believed that the miners demand
 day and twice a month payday, and 1t
 is generally believed that the clause which
 will be pressed most vigorously is that
 reducing the miners hours from nine to eight
 John Mitchell, president of the United
 Mine Workers of America, will reach Bir- mingham this morning and will probably be quartered at the Morris He will ad- dress the joint conference today, probably at the afternoon session.
 There is always a spirited debate on the scale, in which National Committeeman
 w. R. Farley of the United Mine Work CTS and two or three prominent operators take part.
 The present scale contract expires June 30, and unless new contract is signed by that time, the miners will stop work July 1. The scale will probably be under consideration the greater part of the week. If the operators and miners agree to disagree the conference will adjourn la or the other moves for a reopening of the scale question. This was the way last year. The miners were idle during the first half of July, but when the operators and miners came together the second time they were not long in agreeing to compromises and signing the scale.

SPONSORS AND ESCORTS
 THROWN FROM A TRAP

While returning Saturday afternoon from the baseball park, where they had been as sponsors for one of the ball teams, Miss Lucy Dwyer and Miss Viva Jackson were thrown out of trap and severely bruised. It Is considered a miracle that no bones were broken.
 The young ladies were accompanied by Ted Joy. Jack Halstead and Jack Mont gomery .all of whom were injured more or less. MT. Joy probably suffered the most serious injury. He has bad cut on the head, from which he bled profuse- ly at the time. He was better last night
 The party was driving up Fifth avenue near Twelfth street and one of the lines broke The horses got beyond control and turned the trap suddenly. throwing the occupants out on the ground.
 Miss Dwyer was dragged some distance and was very badly bruised. It seems that one of the wheels passed over her

body. When the conveyance turned over she was thrown against one of the horses. The physicians stated last night that she had received no internal injuries as far as they were able to ascertain at present. and that they thought'she would recover rapidly.
 Miss Jackson seems to have struck on her back. She was not dragged any dis tance. but the fall made her unconscious for some time. She suffered no internal injuries.
 Both Mir. Halstead and MT. Montgomery were so much bruised that they will be lame for several days. Mir. Joy will probably be confined to his bed for sev- eral days. He received other bruises be- side the cut on his head. As soon as pos sible after the accident he was taken to a physicians office where his head was treated.

 the Defense.

The hearing of evidence in the trial of Glen Havis, which Is In progress in the Jefferson county Criminal court before Judge Samuel E. Greene, will be resumed this morning at 9:so o'clock. The defend- ant is charged with murder in the first degree and the case has been attracting unusual attention
 The attorneys for the state are trying to prove that Havis murdered Elias M Lathem in the lobby of the Morris hotel on the morning of April II. William Wise was arrested on the same charge and s now in the county jail, but a decree of severance was handed down and the cases are being tried separately. That of Glen Havis was called first and 1t had the at tention of the court during the whole of the past week. The selection of the Jury to try the case was completed on Friday and up to the time of the adjournment of the afternoon session on Saturday even- Ing twelve witnesses had testified.
 Exactly one hundred witnesses were summoned in the case by the state and the defense. but not all of them have re- sponded.
 An imposing array of attorneys has been retained by both sides. Those for the state include Solicitor H. P Hefiin, Banks & selheimer, Cabaniss & Weakley, Rudulph 6 Huddleston, John M. Caldwell, and Circuit Solicitor Charles W. Fergu- son. while those for the defense are Capt. Frank g. White, Hugh Morrow, shugart & Bell and A. Leo 0berdorfer. The eross- examinations have so far been carried on by Judge J. J. Banks for the state and Capt. F. s. White for the defense.
 The case will probably continue during the entire week.
