BABY GIRL MURDERED.
Negro Infant Found in the Woods BY
Negro Women.

A negro baby girl was found wrapped
in piece of sacking on Sixteenth avenue
and Seventeenth street, south, yesterday
morning by two negro men. The body
was hidden under some weeds where the
two workmen were attempting to hide
some tools when they found the baby.
An autopsy was made by physicians
and 1t was found that blow on the side
of the head had caused the death. The
child was evidently only day or so old.
Coroner Paris has offered s25 reward for
any information leading to the arrest Of

WILD GEESE BAGGED
BY LOCAL HUNTERS
Some Great Sport Enjoyed on
the Tennessee River
BROUGHT BACK BIG STRING
Most of the Shooting Was Done From
Blinds and Was MARRIED to Some
Extent by Eagles-The
Sport Is Described.

II. D. Odom and w. r. Bynum have just
returned from a hunting trip on the
Tennessee river. and in support of their
reports of good luck brought with them
eight wild geese. four ducks, fine string
of quail rabbits and other small game
The greater part Of the hunt was spent
around Mussel Shoals, and these well
known Nimrods say geese and ducks are
in abundance. They encountered consid-
cradle difficulty in shooting from blind
on one of the numerous islands dotting
the river at that point, on account of two
or three large eagles which kept the geese
in continual fear and made them very
shy of land. On one occasion. however,
the geese walked about ten feet ashore
and the party of hunters let them have a
broadside, laying five of the long necked
fellows low.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
MAY Be DECREASED
Said to Be Already Too Small
to Cover City
MOVE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD
Mayor Drennen Says That the Extra
Men Put on for the Holidays
VIII Be the Only Ones
Laid of.
MOVE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD

On the first day of next month the flre
department will be decreased to fifty men,
so it is positively rumored around the
headquarters. 1t is said that orders have
been issued cutting off six regular men
and one extra man, the only extra man
the department had on duty.
In view of the heavy losses and the
unusual hard work the department has
had this month there seems to be great
deal of dissatisfaction among the men,
It is claimed that the department is al
ready too small to properly cover the city
and that II any changes are made it
should be an increase with another hose
wagon house at Richmond Place
Fffety-seven Men in All.
The department is supposed to consist
of 81 men, including Chief Mullin, since
the West End hose wagon house was
opened about three months ago. There are
supposed to be II men at headquarters
and an average of six men at four of the
other stations and five men at one. At
present that number is at work, but after
the first of the month it is said that there
will be only sixteen men at headquarters,
and a man less at each Of the other sta
lions.
For some time there have been two or
three men off all the time for one reason
or another, which decreased the actual
number to about 50 or 81 men.
Whatever may be the trouble six regu-
lar members of the department and one
extra man. have been notified that they
will not be needed after the first of
next month. The decrease has been talked
of for about a month, and vigorous pro-
test was made by Chief Mullin who
argued that even now at big fire he
never had enough firement.
Want Insurance Rate Lowered.
There is an effort on foot in the city to
get the Southeastern Tariff association to
lower the insurance rates, but it is feared
with this decrease in the department such
will be impossible.
The reason of this decrease is said to
be lack of funds, and that the change
was decided on at a joint meeting of the
finance and fire committees.
1t is also rumored around the city hall
that the police department is to be de-
creased. Chief Wier stated yesterday that
he had not received any notification of
this. and that if it were true he knew
nothing at all about It.
Chief Mulln refused absolutely to talk
about any change in the fire department.
Mayor Drennen says that the depart
ment will consist of so men after the first
of February. He said that three or four
extra men who were put on for the holi-
days would be taken off

Were Treated Royalty.


panied by John Mathis of Town Creek
and r. w. Gibson of STEP and the party
hunted on the plantation of Mr. Gibson.
The Birmingham men say they were never
treated better in their lives and they have
nothing but words Of praise for the people
in that neighborhood Mr.. Gibson and
Mr.. Mathis showed them every attention
possible and gave them the use of their
blinds on the little islands. No one but
hunter knows how to appreciate a
mans sacrifice in giving up his favorte
blind to a comparative stranger
This has been an exceptionally good
year for hunting geese and ducks, and
the sportsmen who have cared to brave
the cold water and mud of the larger
| streams in Alabama have been rewarded
by some fine bags Of game. The cold
weather during the fall months, which is
unusual in the south, has brought water
fowls to the Alabama streams in great
numbers. Hunters who know how to hunt
have consequently had great sport.
How Geese Are Shot.
Goose shooting is very difficult sport
and unless one understands it he has little
chance of success. Wing shots are rare,
as geese generally fly too high for the
ordinary load of fowling piece to reach
them. Consequently blind shooting has
become universal with real sportsmen, and
for wing shooting ducks are preferred.
A goose blind is usually stationed on a
small island or on the main shore near a
small cove and is constructed Of green
cane or some kind of water weeds Hun
tiers are frequently compelled to sit in
| these blinds for as long as seven hours
awaiting a good chance for a shot. Geese
are considered the "wisest of all game
undertaking.
The prettiest sight I ever saw" said
Mr.. Bynum, was the maneuvers of the
geese squadron as 1t marched on the lit
tie island where we were hidden Several
squads of fowls alighted on the water
near the shore at the same time. In
moment big gander walked ashore and
standing on little promintary gave a
peculiar scream.
Assembled on Perfect Line.
I'm another moment all of the squads
came to the shore and assembled in a
perfect line. No soldiers could have
executed this movement with more skill.
Within five minutes our blind was almost
surrounded by geese. Before they came
in range of our guns. however, large
eagle swooped down on the island and
with a cry of warning the whole drove
flew away in body, the leader forming
the apex of triangle. 1t was indeed
grand sight"

MRS. sTENQU DEAD
Passes Away at Glover After ;
Long Illness
Twice Has the Messenger Of Death Called at
This Home in the Last Five Weeks and
Plucked the Fairest Flowers

For the second time within five
weeks the community of Glover and
vicinity has been called upon to
mourn the loss of member of the
family of L. G. Stenquist, our
honored county commissioner. This
time it was the wife and mother, Mrs.
Ids Stenquist. Five weeks ago we
laid to rest Marie Stenquist,
daughter aged 18 years and this time
the call has taken the mother. Both
are in their heavenly home, but both
have an empty place in the home and
community.
Mrs. Ida Stenquist was born June
IL, 1864, in Utterly, Sweden. She i'm
migrated to America in 1883 and was
married to L. G. Stenquist February
l3, 1874, at Lisbon, N. D. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stenquist made their home in
Ransom county until the fall of 1890,
when they moved to their present
home three miles north of Glover, in
Dickey county. Deceased was the
mother of four sons and two
daughters. The first daughter died
in infancy. The other died at the
age Of eighteen years on March %,
1904, thus leaving four sons and the
husband and father to mourn her
loss. She was brought up in the
Lutheran faith and was faithful
member thereof until her death.
She was also highly respected
member of the Degree of Honor in
Oakes. The funeral services were
held in the school house at Gloyer,
the sermon being given by Rev. E. P.

ing suggestions:
l. If possible secure lawn mower
and keep your lawn evenly moved

or rubbish or refuge matter so that
you can easily have it hauled away
when necessary.
III. Cultivate flowers for beauty
and ornament.
We are glad to see the interest
manifested already. Let the good

A CLOSE GATE.
The State School Boys Win In Basket Ball
from the Oalees Highs.


from the Oakes Highs.
The game of basket ball Friday
evening between the Oakes Highs
and the NJ. T.. S. of Glendale resulted
in victory for the state school boys
by score of 16 to IA. The game
was warm one, and was hotly con-
tested from start to finish. At the
end of the first half the game stood
8 to 4 in favor of Glendale. THIS
was accounted for by the large mum.
Der of fouls and the poor field work
of the Oakes team. In the second
half our boys rallied and Bush, who
took the place of Ramharter, made
several brilliant field throws aud the
Oakes boys forged ahead. The field
work of the Glendale team showed
more system, however, aud they soon
evened the score IA to IA. Glendale
made a field throw just before lime
was called, giving her the victory.
Kings work was exceptionally good.
The lineup was as follows:
