held Mayor Atkins's recent decision
that "hop ale" which has been sold

bloody Eight at Church.

The Little Vine Church, in the north
eastern section of Walker County, was
the scene of a bloody and desperate
fight between two brothers, Ben and
Luther Owen, on the one side, and Os-
car Lowe on the other. The three men
were the best of friends, according to
the meagre details which were receiv-
ed in Birmingham this morning, until
the ARRAY started last afternoon in
front of the church where an all day
singing" and feet washing" service
was held.
The quarrel was in reference to a
young woman. All three men are said
to have drawn pistols. and six shots
were fred. Each man received two
bullets. Ben Owen was killed almost
instantly. Luther owen fell back into
the church with two wounds from
which he can hardly recover. Lowe
was shot in the shoulder and in the
hip, the wounds being very serious.
There was great CONSERVATION at the
place at the time. though the better
part of the crowd had already started
for their respective homes; Luther
owen was a man of family. his father
tn-law being Dr. Ballinger of Horse
Creek. Exactly how the quarrel start
ed cannot be ascertained. but 1t is
learned that not a bullet was wasted.

CONFERENCE IS HELD
MINERS AND OPERATORS IN JOINT
SESSION.
Nothing So Far Decided, But Pros
poets for AmicabIe Agreement
II Good--The News
of Birmingham.

birmingham, June 20.-(SpeciaL)-
The Joint conference between the
United Mine workers of America and
the operators this afternoon was short.
There were present of the operators
!. @. Bush. President of the Alabama
Consolidated Coal and iron Company,
representing the Furnace Association:
y. c. Maben, President of the Sloss-
sheffield Steel and Iron Company; +. NJ.
jackson of the Blocton-Cahaba Coal
Company; C. E. Buck of the Lacey
Buck Iron Company, and some smaller
operators.
The scale of the miners was present
ed. There is but little change over the
present contract, except that it ex-
tends until June 30, 1906. The mining
wage Is the same, ranging from ~ IL
to 81 Ia cents per ton.
The operators argued that conditions
were not as healthy now as they were
a year ago. Further time was urged.
and Colonel Bush stated that the Ope-
rators' Association was no more. and
that 1t was desired that the individual
companies treat with the miners.
The commercial coal men, those who
do not use their coal in the manufac-
ture of pig iron, announced a willing
ness to make a contract. but wanted
time to digest the scale offered by the
miners
Adjournment was tagen until Thurs
day morning at IL o'clock, when 1t is
expected that the operators will meet
the miners and discuss a contract for
the future.
The situation appears clearer at this
time.
