Particulars Of Death
Of Bass Russell
In Mexico

Speaking of the death of Bass Rus
sell the El Paso Herald of Thursday
says:
Two men met death in the treach
erous waters of the Rio Grande, 12s
miles below FL Paso, yesterday af
ternoon while watering big bunch ol
cattle.
The men were Joe Fatley, range
boss, and Bass Russell, one OF the
cowboys. of the Riverside ranch in
Mexico.
The news Of their death was re-
ceived in Ell Paso this morning by
John H. Hicks. the general manager
Of the ranch, who is a guest Of the
Sheldon. He received a telegram
from s. C. McCamant, foreman Of the
river division OF the ranch, informing
him that the two men had been
dlowned, that the body Of Russell had
been recovered and sent to Sierra
Blanca and that the body of Fatley
was still in the river. He asked for
instructions.
Mr. Hicks says that the cattle must
have stampeded into the river at the
point where the drowning occurred
and that the men doubtless went in
t, save the cattle and met death, that
perhaps the cattle surrounded them
and trampled them down in the water,
or they got into an eddy. There are
many ways in which men could meet
death in trying to get herd of cattle
out of the water, he says, and he has
no idea how these men met their fate
The Riverside Cattle company has
about 5000 head of cattle in the bos-
que on the Mexican side of the river,
opposite San Elizario, which are be-
ing held there to be cut and crossed
into the United States as soon as ar
rangements can be made with the fed
eral authorities in this city to send
down inspectors to supervise the
work, and it was while herding this
bunch Of cattle that the men were
around.
Mr.. Hicks says that the two men
who were drowned were very fine fel-
lows and he is sorely grieved over
their loss. Russell he said, speak
ing of the Las Vegas man, was a
monument of truth and common hon
esty just such man as it necessary
around ranch, and he was very
valuable fellow. Both O. them were
good men Fatley was my range boss
and never had better one. He
came to us from the Diamond A ranch
in Arizona and he was also for num-
ber of years with Col. Slaughter"

AERIAL TRUCK AND STEAMER ORDERED First Step for Betterment Of Fire Department Taken MANY NEW ALARM BOXES Gong Indicator VIII Be Placed at North Birmingham Pumping Sta
 tIon--Agreement Is Be-
 Ing Fulfilled.
MANY NEW ALARM BOXES

The city of Birmingham yesterday com pleted all arrangements for improving the fire department by. ordering new appara- tus and the installation of fifteen keyless fire alarm boxes at once. Twelve of the latter will be placed in the business sec ton to take the place of dozen Key boxes in use at present The remaining three boxes will be installed in the resi- dental districts.
 In accordance with the agreement made last February between the board of trade and the Southeastern Tariff association the city last night ordered Seagrave aerial al~truck with a s5-foot extension lad der at a cost of s4600 and frst-class steamer from the IaFrance Fire Manu- featuring company at cost of So5OO. All f. o. b. Birmingham.
 The addition of the aerial truck and steamer to the local department will to a great extent aid in placing the depart ment on more solid basis to fight fires and the prompt action of the mayor ana members of the fire committee in order ing the apparatus will undoubtedly meet with the approval of the citizens.
 The purchase of the aerial truck steamer and the ordering of the instalia- tion of more fire boxes was not done until a thorough discussion of the aues- tions at issue was had before the mem bers of the fire and water committee and the mayor yesterday. The committee ln- tended to purchase the truck and steamer at the session in the afternoon. but this action was delayed on account of the ab- sence of MT. Palglases,, the representa- tive of the LaFrance people. A represent tative of the company reached Birming- ham late in the afternoon and the fire committee and Mayor Ward discussed the question and received bids, with the result that the engine and aerial truck were ordered.
 Mayor Ward announced last night that it will be seventy or ninety days before the new fire fighting apparatus will be in commission, but that everything pos sble will be done in the meantime to hold the department in readiness to cope against or with any fire should a serious blaze break out in the meantime.
 A gong and indicator will be placed at the North Birmingham pumping station as soon as possible. Every pledge made by the city with the Southeastern Tariff association has been fulfilled as far as the ordering of the fire equipment is con- cerned and nothing remains as far as the agreement Is concerned, except to place the new apparatus in Commission.
 The new truck will reach to the top floor In the First Na ronal Bank building

RATHER UNUSUAL RESULT OF SUIT OF MARIE HEATHCOAT VS. THE WESTERN UNION TELE- GRAPH COMPANY.

In the case of Marie Heathcoat vs. the Western Union Telegraph company in the circuit court yesterday the plaintiff se- cured the full amount sued for, $15OO In court house circles it was considered rather peculiar result of the case, as 1t Is stated that this Is one of the few times in the history of the courts of Ala bama that a. verdict for the full amount asked has been rendered.
 William E. Fort represented the plain tiff The suit alleged that the defendant company failed to deliver telegram to the plaintiff announcing the fatal injury of her brother in time for her to see him before he died.
 The telegram was sent from Birmng- ham by the father of the plaintiff and the deceased. and at that time Miss Heath coat was in Chattanooga. The telegram said that If she wanted to see her brother before he died she must come at once to Birmingham.
