SHOOTS HIS SISTER.
Young Negro at Annston Pulled Trg-
 ger Accidentally.

Anniston, November S.-tSpecial.)-Or Hardy, an 8-year-old negro boy, shot and instantly killed his 6-year-old sister this morning about o'clock at Oxford. The gun used was a 16 gauge breech loading shotgun The load took effect in the right forehead Just above the eye, almost the entire right side of the head being blown off and the brains scattered across the room. It seems that the shooting was an accident. The boy had taken the gun from a rack in the room. and through pure ignorance pulled the trigger while the barrel was aimed at his sisters head. He claimed that an older sister, about IS years of age, who was in the room at the time. asked him to get the gun in order that she might shoot him. His sis- ter, however, denies this statement. and 1t seems that the only cause to which the accident can be attributed is the un- qualified ignorance of young Ora

Expect to Find Body In Mine.

Tuscaloosa, November 8.-(Special.)- A number of citizens are out just be- yond Northport, pumping water from an abandoned coal mine where strong evil dence seems to point toward the myste- rious disappearance of A. J. Lindgreen which occurred during the month of Feb ruary last. That the body has been thrown into the abandoned mine was first brought to notice by the condition of the opening which bears evidence that the heavy timber was removed from it's position about the time of the disappear ance. The water which is being pumped from the mine is very foul and even if the body is not found it is thought that some other mystery will be unearthed.

the governor, signed by William w. Bran- don, adjutant general.
 This is the last of what was in 1898 battalion of negro troops in the state, com manded by an officer at that time in Mo- bile, but since dead. Several of them failed to enlist for the Spanish-American war, and later on there was left only the one company. AS the state has no use for troops save to quell riots, there ia no place for negro soldiers. The company has never been allowed ball cartridges and has drilled with empty guns all the time. The captain is Sam Mcqueen, who Is steady and hard working negro, who has gotten his men in good trim and kept them not only within good soldier lines but insisted upon satisfactory behayous in every way.
 Some time ago there was movement on foot to have this company dropped, fol- lowing the playing of tune which some thought was Hang Jeff Davis to a Sour Apple Tree" Several stories were printed to the effect that petitions would be pre- sented to the govrnor to let the com pany out. It was taken up by the military board, which recommended that 1t be dropped. There was no complaint of the men of the company nor the officers, but a general agreement that they are not such troops as could be used at any time and ought to be dropped to save the ex- pense to the state.
 Sheppard Given Liberty
 Echoes of the high old time of the days when populsm ran riot in the state were found today in the pardon papers of J. F. Shepperd of Calhoun county, given his liberty by Governor Jelks. One of the letters stated that it was the belief of the writer that Shepperd, who was a democrat and beat committeeman in the days of populist fury, was persecuted to conviction by men of the latter party He was given sentence of two years and half in the city court of Annston in November, 1904.
 On the papers the governor made the following endorsement: '"The trial judge writes that the evidence furnished at this mans trial was most conflicting and that, in his opinion, the true facts in the case were not developed at the trial. He advises a pardon. The prosecuting at torney and also assistant prosecuting at torney advise clemency as does the board of pardons.'
