OFFICER IF LAW
 KILLED BY NEGRO Marshal SaterWhite of fWedoWee Shot by One ChappeII TALK OF LYNCHlNG Weller Rolling Mill and Forge Com pany Will Probably Rebuild
 Plant in Anniston--$2ooo
 Judgment Returned.

Anniston, December 6.-(SpeciaL)-s. B. Gaston of Corinth, is in the city today
 and reports the killing at wedowee, last Saturday of Marshal William Saterwhite of that place, by a negro named Chap pell. It seems that the negro, who is
 about IS years of age, had been guilty of some infraction of the city laws, and
 Marshal Saterwhte attempted to arrest
 him for the offense. The negro drew a
 pistol and shot the marshal. The murderer
 was arrested and lodged in jail. There
 has been some talk of lynching, but it
 is now believed that more conserva-
 tive sentiment will prevail and that the
 law will be allowed to take it's regular | course.
 John Henry Whaley living near We
 dowee, was found dead in the woods Sun day morning. It is supposed that he was
 returning home during the fierce storm which ragged Saturday night and that he
 was overcome by it and frozen to death,
 as his body was found on path through the woods. This information was brought to Anniston this morning.
 The stockholders and officers of the Weller Rolling Mill and Forge company
 held a meeting yesterday morning at the office of the Anniston City Land company on Noble street, and after the
 naming of a committee to investigate the advisability of rebuilding the plant in this city, those present voted to adjourn until December A. when definite action will be taken in the matter. The committee appointed to investigate the matter was as follows: W. H. Weller, chairman; J.
 H. Hardin. w. H. McKleroy, M. B. We'll
 born and W. A. Davis M. B. Wellborn who Is greatly interested in the plant
 and who is desirious of having it remain in this city, states that the reports which have appeared in several papers in regard
 to the removal of the plant to Gadsden
 have been premature and unwarranted as no definite action has been taken nor
 will be taken until the stockholders meet again December fl. It is true that prop
 osition has been received from Gadsden,
 but it Is quite likely that proposition will also be made by Anniston with the
 chances good in favor of the firms re- maining in this city. The committee named
 was appointed to consider the question In all it's phases and the most advanta-
 geous decision will doubtless be reached
 It is the wish of all that they may see their way clear to rebuild upon the site where their plant was burned in Septem- | Der.
 | judgment for 5000 was granted this
 morning by Judge Coleman for the plain | tiff in the case of c. D. Kline, administra- | tor, vs. Woodstock Iron Works which
 has been in the courts for several days.
 The case went to the jury late yesterday
 afternoon. and 1t was in session until a
 late hour last night. A sealed verdict
 was rendered and published in court this
 morning. The suit was for s2000 alleged
 to be due the plaintiff as the result of
 the death of Sidney Olive while in the em-
 ploy of the defendant company This case has gone to the supreme court once, and this makes its third round in the city courts at Anniston.
