NEGRO IS KILLED
 AT MURRAY MINES
MINER SHOT AND SOME THINK TROUBLE GREW OUT OF THE STRIKE WHICH IS IN PROGRESS AT THE MINES.

Pat Ramey a negro miner, was shot and killed at No. mine of the Tutwiler Coal, Coke and Iron company, at Murray Saturday night abogt Il o'clock, and there are two theories and statements regard ing how he met his death
 One belief is that he was killed by union miners who thought that he was one of the guards employed by the Tutwiler company. 1t Is said that a quarrel was picked with him and he was shot.
 The other statement is that he was kill ed in a drunken row and for no other cause than a dispute which arose.
 J. L. Bowen, a white man, and Turner Fryer negro, are in the county jail being held there under orders from Cor oner Paris in connection with the death of the negro, and whether or not a charge is made against them depends on future developments
 Coroner Paris, Deputy Sheriffs Cowan, Abernathy and Barnes went to Murray to investigate the case, and as a result the two men were placed under arrest and brought to Birmingham. Coroner Paris expects to have some very impor- tant evidence today or tomorrow in the case, and followed that the men will be held in jail.
 Ramey lived for some time after he was shot. The bullet severed an artery and he died from the loss of blood
