NEW DECATUR FIGHT
GROWS QUITE WARM
Major Long Will Introduce His Bill
Creating City Recorders Office
In the Town.

Decatur, December 22-(Special.) Maj.
William Long, Jr., one of the members
of the state legislature from this county
was shown a special from New Decatur
this morning in which it stated that the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen of New
Decatur had passed a resolution in OPP
position tc the bill creating a city record
er's office for the town of New Deca-
tur.
The bill is signed by Major Long, and
in the advertisement carrying the bill
Major Long says that he will introduce
this bill in the session of the legisla-
ture which meets in January.
After repeated requests, Major Long
consented to talk on the matter and had
this to say: THE resolution is not the
sentiment of the people OF New Decatur.
In the first instance the establishment
of city recorder would give the Mayor
time to attend to the duties of his office
as president of the Board of Aldermen.
I'm the second instance, the people
would be relieved of an oppresser to sit
in judgment of their troubles.
"In the third instance the expenses OF
the city would not be increased more
than her present expenses, in as much
as the Mayor of New Decatur is drawing
an increase in his salary in direct VIC
lation of'the constitution of Alabama and
over a protest of number of citizens
of New Decatur. which should be made
punishable under the law as a INSIDE
meanor."
The New Decatur Advertiser comes out
in an editorial this week favoring the
establishment of city recorders court
IN New Decatur and saying that they
have nothing but contempt for the city
administration of New Decatur.

WHITE MAN FOUND
DEAD ON SIDEWALK
S. T. HUNTsUckER SHOT NEAR
ROLLING MILL-A. S. WARD, HIS
ROOMMATE, ARRESTED ON EVIL
DENcE OF WITNESSES.

S. T. Huntsucker, a white man, was
fatally shot last night at about Il o'clock
on Avenue B, between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets.
Upon testimony of witnesses a. 5.
Ward was arrested and is confined in the
city jail on the charge of murder. He
denies his guilt.
1t appears that Policemen Mcknight
and Byars, while patrolling their beats,
came upon the body of the man lying in
a pool of blood with a large crowd stand
ing around. He was still conscious, but
unable 10 speak, and within a few
minutes breathed his last.
There was one bullet in the corpse just
over the heart The bullet wound is very
small, possibly from a 32-calibre pistol.
The pistol with which the killing was
done has not been found.
When the officers examined the wit
nesses, one man volunteered to point out
the person who did the shooting, and
leading the way, directed the whole
crowd to the Klondike hotel and to the
room where Ward was found and ar
rested.
The alleged murderer Immediately
broke out into various explanations. He
is said to have contradlcted himself at
every turn. At first he stated that he
and Huntsucker had been in James
O'Hear's saloon and had left to go home
when they were attacked by three men,
but from the statement of the barkeeper
and others, Ward had not entered the sa-
loon and Huntsucker had gone out alone.
The murder was committed shortly aft
er the exit, but the circumstances and
the cause are mystery. The two men
boarded together in the hotel and worked
at the rolling mol. They have only been
in the city. a few months, hailing, it is
said, FROM some point in Illinois A.
the time both were alleged to be under
the influence of whisky.
The remains of the dead man were
taken to the undertaking parlors of the
Green company, where they will be held
until relatives are heard from. He was
man of about 80 years.
