Birmingham, Ala, August 26-Jim
Streeter, a notorious negro burglar,
was killed early this morning by a trap
gun in store of B. F. Lacey & Son, at
POWderly, a suburb.
The store has been burglarized re-.

Eight weeks ago a bear trap was
set in the place and Ollie Gray, ne.
grow burglar, was caught in it and is
now in Jail.
The depredatiOns continued, how.
ever, although a bear trap was set
every night for the marauders. The
firm finally resorted to the trap gun
with string attacked to the trigger,
and extended across the, space back
of tn ecOunter. During last night two
negroes entered the place and when
one of them, Streeter, came in con.
tact with the string it caused the gun
to fire. Before Streeter died he con.
fessed that he had a companion who
escaped, but refused to give his name
The wounded negro was still alive

ing, but died soon afterwards

Birmingham, Ala, August 26.-A
special from Montgomery today says
that Eugene Roberts, the negro under
arrest in that city for aiding in the
lynchtng of Edward Bell, also negro,
near Sardis three weeks ago, confessed
to the sheriff yesterday that he was
present when the negro was killed,
but that he did not aid in the crime.
His confession carried sensational
features with it, in that he stated that
the negro was not taken away from the
three sheriffs as reported, but that
they were there and saw the murder
Stanfil, Ransom and Cherry are the
names of the three constables. 1t is
alleged that other prominent white
men were reported by Roberts as be.

sensational arrests are expected.
Governor Cunningham had already
offered rewards for the guilty parties,
and this makes it certain that arrests
will follow that will be sensational.

Crowley, La, August 26.-The big
gest fire in the history OF the Nam
moth oil field started yesterday morn
ing at 10:40 O'Clock, and has been rag
ing ever since. Yesterday Morse Well
No. came in, pouring out a volume
at the rate of 10000 barrels a day.
The fire caught from spark ema-
mating from the friction and rapidly
spread to the other wells.
The flames jumped high in the air
and the smoke can be seem many miles
around as it rises in the aIr like
dark cloud.
Four oil tanks each of which had
capacity of 1900 barrels, caught and
burned Four standard rigs, the prop
erty of the Morse company, was also
destroyed.
A meeting of the employees of the
other wells was held Immediately. The
wells were cut down and the fore
men assisted as best they could un-
der the circumstances. Nothing could
be done yesterday to eXtinguish the
flames. but efforts will be made today
to check the fire. Each we'll must
be worked ON separately and it ap-
pears that it will be some time be.
fore the work is completed.
Eight lines of pipes already have
been laid to the burning wells and
more are being gotten ready to be
laid.
These will be worked vigorously as
soon as possible. The loss is now
placed at over 100000.
Fire at the MamCth oil fields is still
burning in the Morse Wells Nos 7
and 8, and all work has been abandon
ed by order of the companies, and
every workman in the field is helping
to make arrangements to smother the
fire with steam The first effort will
be made tomorrow, the oil being burn
ed is worth $400 an hour, and the loss
by Saturday morning will abOunt to
100000.

phase of the incident. Protection of
the cruiser now devolves upon China
and incidentally ON the neutral powers

This protection would be effective
