SHOOTS
c. o. CHAMnLEE KILLS A. M. BUR-
 RELL.
Marshal Of CafdlR Puts His Brother Odd Fellow to Death Alter Bearing With Him
 Patiently

Birmingham, July )-C. o. Chamblee. marshal at Cardin, a mining town in the western part of Jefferson County. shot and killed A. M. Burrell, constable of the beat and former marshal of the town. Four shots were fired by Champiee and each bullet took effect, three going into Burrell's breast and one in the hand.
 The affray was sensational and the Mayor of the town. Adam Stewart, was an eye witness. It seems that week ago Burrell was relieved as town mar ehal and Chamblee elected to his place. Some words were passed between the Mayor and Burrell. It seems that yes- terday Burrell was under the influence of liquor and was curstng around the town and was ordered by the new mar shal to be quiet. The new marshal or dered him again to be quiet and said he would have to arrest him if he didn't The Mayor was with the mar shal and there were others.
 Chamblee came across Burreu in front of Jones and Davis's saloon. Burrell said that he would not be quiet and that Chambfee could not arrest him as he had no authority and was not the man to do so and further, that he. Burrell. intended fixing" him. Chamblee says that Burrell went for his gun but Chamblee was the quicker and pulled his pistol and went to firing immediately, four shots being fired in quick succession.
 The anray. according to statements made today, had been looked for for the. past week.
 Coroner Paris went to Cardiff to in- vestigate the affray and statements made show that the shooting was in self-defense.
 The deceased leaves a widow and two children. Chamblee has wife and two children. Both men were mem- bers of the Odd Fellows and had a large circle of acquaintances. Much excitement was caused by the shooting but no further trouble followed.

McfARLAND'S $500
FOR BATTLE Is UP
Sum Posted to Secure Match with Bat
thing Nelson for a Limited Num-
Der of Rounds.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Harry Gilmore,
Jr., today posted the $500 forfeit re-
Gently taken down by Joe Cans to
bind the proposed match between
Packey Mcfarland and Battling Mel
son.
Cans took down the forfeit because
he thought the weight proposition inn
posed by Nelson was unfavorable-131
pounds at 6 o'clock. Harry Gilmore
said last night that he considered the
131 pounds at 6 o'clock to be as ia
vorable as the lightweight limit at the
ringside. Moreover, he is ready to
agree to it because it was the condi-
ton suggested by Nelson himself, and
McFarlands manager thinks Battling
is sure to agree to it and make the
match.
Gilmore and Mcfarland will bet ST.
000 on the side and will insist on two
things-that Nelson gets no bonus to
make the match and that the contest
be limited battle, not over 20 rounds.
In the meantime Mcfarland probably
will get a match with Tommy Murphy
Of Boston, probably the best man of
his weight in the country, except Mel
son and Cans, whom Mcfarland has
not defeated.
