FOREMAN KILLED
 BY |. & N. AGENT
John K. Hubbard Shot J. A.
 Hunnicutt Yesterday.
DEATH INSTAN FAMOUS
Hunnlcutt Is Said to Have Knocked Hubbard Down and Choked Him. The Tragedy Occurred
 at Boyles Station.

J. A. Hunnicutt, foreman of an extra section gang of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad was shot and instantly kill ed in the station at Boy1es yesterday af- ternoon by John K. Hubbard, the agent of the Louisville and Nashville road at that place. Two shots were fired by Hub bard. one taking effect in the abdomen and the other in the lungs. It is believ- ed that either of the wounds would have proved fatal.
 Immediately after the shooting Hub bard surrendered to constable and was locked mp in the county Jail awaiting an investigation by the coroner. He asked to be excused from making a statement concerning the affair.
 The Difficulty.
 The trouble between the two men Is said to have arisen over some informa- ton given to a constable by Hubbard concerning the length of time Hunnicutt had been employed in the vicinity of Boyles. It appears that the officer was seeking information for the purpose of collecting road tax and asked Hunnicutt how long he had lived In that precinct. Hunnicutt Is said to have replied: "Only a few days"
 The constable then went to MT Hub bard, the agent of the Louisville and Nashville, and asked him how long Hun ncutt had been working there. Not knowing the object of the injuiry, Hub- bard replied: Something like two months"
 Shortly after noon yesterday Hunnicutt appeared at the office of Mir. Hubbard, and is said to have told Hubbard: This is a pretty way you have of telling lies on me-" Hubbard laughed and asked for an explanation.
 Witnesses say that Hunicutt insisted on his remark and when asked for an ex planation said: "I will explain myself" and with that struck Hubbard in the face Hubbard fell against the stove and was cut on the bridge Of the nose. He fell again and was bruised on the head. Hubbard, 1t Is said, then reached for drawer in which he kept his pistol but failed to secure the weapon.
 Hubbard Fired Twice.
 Hunnicutt knocked him down again and began choking him. Hubbard then struggled until he reached the drawer, and securing the pistol fired twice. Hun nicutt fell and died mediately.
 John K. Hubbard has bene In the em- ploy of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road company for many years and Is held In high esteem by that corporation. He has a family and lives at Boyles. His wife Is prostrated over the affair and re- quired the attention of a physician yes terday afternoon.
 The remains of J. A. Hunnicutt were brought to the city about o'clock and carried to the undertaking establishment of Green & Go. The remains will be sent to Jemison. Alabama, today. Hunnicutt leaves a family.
 There are two bullets holes in the body One is through the lungs and the other through the stomach. The deceased Is about 35 years old and has a number of friends in the city.
 Coroner Paris went to Boyles and or dered the remains sent to Birmingham An inquest will be held this morning.

WOUND MAY BE FATAL.
Negro Shoots Another Negro-Also
 Shoots His Wife.

As the result of a fight last night at Avenue E and Eleventh street, one negro is probably fatally shot and a negro wo- man is seriously wounded The police are looking for the third negro, the one who did the shooting.
 It seems that Edward Harris and Will Nesbitt had some trouble about the form CTS wife. Harris shot Nesbitt in the ab- domen, and the latter is at the Hillman Hospital in a serious condition. It is not thought the he will live. Drs. McAdory and Shropshire performed an operation last night and it was successful, but 1t is not thought the negro can recover.
 Edward Harris also shot his wife, but the wound is not fatal. The woman is at the hospital, where an operation was performed last night. Policeman Elledge and Lieutenant Eagan answered the call sent in for the fight, but Harris had es- capped before they arrived.

After little while they arrived by

into the middle of the camp. Thorpe
saw three large buildings, backed end

of heavy logs, rooted with plank and
lighted sparsely through one or two
windows apiece. The driver pulled up
opposite the space between two larger

by four long bench fanked tables, down
