He is Charged With the murder of A.
 J. Lhdgreen
 Tuscaloosa, July 25.--(Special.- Will Hunter was bound over in $1.00o bail to await the action of the grand jury to- day. Hunter is charged with the mur- der of A. J. Llndgreen.
 The preliminary trial of Hunter be- gan yesterday before Justice J. w. Carson. There has been much interest manifested in the mysterious disappear ance of Lindgreen, and the Court House was crowded to its utmost capacity. Many witnesses have been heard since that time. f'
 Frank Cavender, witness, who is said to be an imbecile. stated that he was on the Warrior River bridge the night of MT. Lindgreens disappearance, and he saw Hunter shoot Lindgreen, saw him fall from his buggy. while John Lawler, who is also charged with the murder, held the mules. He further testified that after they had killed Lind green they searched his body and that Hunter kept watch and a revolver, and that S700 was divided between Hunter and Lawler and one Williams. who as yet has not been found: that they offered him money which he re- fused, and that they said that if he ever mentioned it they would kill him. When cross-questioned he pointed to Hunter and .said: There is the man., Will Hunter. who did the killing. and he knows 1t, too" Clothes which were found in Lindgreen's buggy the next day were brought into court and sev- eral bullet holes were shown.
 Other testimony was given, but mono was so damaging as that from Caven- der who is also said to be an infidel The defendants attorney reserved the right to object to Cavenders testimony on this ground.

IN REAR-END COLLISION
 SEVERAL WERE INJURED

that Myrick reversed his current. but the track was too wet for the wheels to catch the rails.
 General Manager Ragland of the Traction Company was at Pickett SprinEs at the time of the accident. As soon as the cars came together a mes- senger rushed over to the slaughter house and telephoned for an ambulance and he also telephoned to Mir. Ragland at Pickett Springs. The General Man. ager jumped into an empty car and hurried 1t to the scene of the accident where he took personal charge. A swo-horse hack was hurried to the scene of the accident and Mir. Johns was moved to his home on North Law renee Street. The ambulance was not 90 soon in coming and a drizxling rain began falling before Mir. Loeb was moved from under the pine trees. Du- ring this time he was attended by Miss Hutton while willing hands held um- brellas over him.
 Master. Stahlnecker. the young son of MT. and Mrs. Stahlnecker of North Lawrence Street. was thrown from the car by the shock and was bruised somewhat about the face, but his in- juries were not at all serious.
 Mfr. Loeb was moved to- St. Marga- rets Hospital for treatment. It was found that his right leg had been broken above the knee. MT. Loeb had been crippled in this leg by previous accident. The leg which had been par tially disabled for 8 number of years was the leg that was broken in the ac- cident of yesterday. It was said last night that he might be confined to his bed for three months.
 Reports from the bedside of Mir. Johns brought the information that both legs were badly bruised. It was also sah that he sustained internal injuries the extent of which had not fully developed. It is not thought that these internal injuries are of a serious nature The others hurt in the wreck were only slightly injured.

 Street Railway.

Birmingham, July 25.-SpeciaL)- The statement of Jack Hunter, the negro charged with the murder of Mrs. s. J. Smith, white, at Gadsden. ten days ago. is similar to that made by Vance Garner with the exception that Garner says he saw Hunter stuffing towel in Mrs. Smiths mouth as he was assault ing her and Hunter says that he saw Garner doing the act.

Hunter says that he can prove his innocence. He still maintains that he has not been trying to avade arrest. but was in Birmingham all the time and returned a few days since to Gadsden for the purpose of giving up.

RUSSIA'S CROP IN DANGER.
Transportation Blockade and Famine
Have Disastrous Effect.

transportation Blockade and Famine
Have Disastrous Effect.
London, Aug. 9.-From an authentic
source it is reported that owing to
lack of transportation and storage IA
cilities in Russia, the grain shipping
situation is in a precarious condition.
This spring transportation at st. Pc
tersburg was blocked. At all times
tens of thousands of cars were at a
standstill. Recently a large number
of cars were received at st. Peters
burg in a fermented condition and
were condemned to be burned. This
blockade not only affects the grain
now in storage and in transportation,
whereby thousands of car loads will
be lost, but the safety of the present
crop is also jeopardized, as the outlook
at present is that the way cannot be
cleared to handle the new crop.
