FOUL CRIME COMMITTED
TWO HOUSES DYNAMITED, ONE
 PERSON KILLED,
Parrfsh Case Postponed---Mortgaxe Fee of $4,500 Paid-Coronerss BfII for Investigating the
 Mine Disaster,

Birmingham. April 11-tspecial. IA | dastardly deed was committed about
 midnight last night at Blossburg, a
 mining camp in the western part of
 the county. when dynamite was placed and discharged on the front porches of houses occupied by John Alexander. white, and William Cato, a negro, non-
 union coal miners. The house of Alex ander was badly damaged, three small
 children sleeping in the front room be- ing thrown violently about and seri-
 ously injured. The oldest child, a iit- tie girl between eleven and twelve years of age, died in less than an hour of the dynamiting. The explosion on the porch of the Cato house did not do much damage beyond making a loud
 noise. which was heard for miles
 around and shaking up the occupants
 of the building.
 The explosions startled the entire
 mining camp and many people gathered at once. The sight of the little girl.
 who was fatally hurt, aroused much feeling. Her body was literally torn in shreds. Posses were Immediately formed to hunt the perpetrators of the horrible deed. Union men who gather ed expressed indignation at the crime and offered assistance in tracking the guilty parties. Absolutely no clue could be obtained, though this morn- ling blood hounds were secured and an effort made to start a clue. Superin- tendent S. J. Rutledge. who is in charge of the mines, sent to tine city for officers to take up the investiga- ton into the affair.
 Excitement prevailed all day at Blossburg and the adjacent mines and there was very little work done. The leaders of the miners deny all insinua- tions as to perpetration in the deed. No accusations have been made.
 The explosions, which followed with in a few minutes of one another, were heard for miles, many people in the city, seventeen miles away, hearing a muffled sound. The dynamite placed on the Cato porch was packed in a piece of pipe and while it made a terrific the house. except shake 1t from its foundations.
 Alexander and his family moved to Blossburg just two monthseago and the head of the family took up work in the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company's mines at that point. Cato has been living at Blossburg for some time.
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert Strad- ford despatched several deputies to the scene to make full investigation and keep down any possible excitement which might be aroused. Reports from Adamsville, Brookside, Pinckney City, GrAysville, Jugtown and other points in the Blossburg vicinity were more or less excited over the dynamiting. Non- union miners have been badly fright ened and there will be much fear shown for some time. all of which will have effect on the coal production.
