ONE DEAD, TWO DYING
RESULT OF FIGHT
Young Men Have Ugly Shoot
ARRAY at Tacoa
FRIENDS DEEPLY GRIEVED
Participants Well Known In Birmlng-
ham-The Man Who Fired the
Last Shot Runs and q
Escapes.

With the bodies of two fatally shot
white men came the news of a bloody
mixup about twelve miles from Birming-
ham last night. At Taeoa, a mining
town of the Cahaba Coal company, there
was shooting affair in which Jack
Tembley was instantly killed and Art
Seigel and Virgin Swan fatally injured.
Little can be ascertained of the cause
of the fight, except that all three men
were under the influence Of liquor and
had been cursing each other for some
time The difficulty occurred in the main
road in front of the depot on the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad yesterday aft
ernoon at about 4 o'clock. When the
night train came along they were taken
aboard and brought to the city. Shaw &
Sons ambulance was called and carried
the injured men to st. Vincent's hospital
where it Is reported they cannot possibly
live through the night.
Swan Started Trouble.
From the information that can be gath
cred Virgin Swan started the racket
in a saloon and carried 1t on for some
Time When he was crossed by one of
the others, who were equally drunk, 1t
is said that he instantly pulled his gun
and killed Jack Tembley on the spot
Whether Tembley was the aggressor In
any fashion could not be learned.
When the other young man attempted
to disarm him Swan fired again, the bull
let entering the bowels of Art Selgel
from the front. His mother, who came
with him to the hospital, claims that he
was running at the time but the posi-
ton of the shot would point to the fact
that he was facing his assailant.
From what can be learned a crowd i'm
medlately gathered and a shot was fired
by some unknown party, entering the
back of Swans head as he was stand
ing over the two bodies of his victims
with smoking pistol in hand. He fell
across them, and was, himself, fatally
injured.
Fired BY Flagman.
It is believed that this last shot was
fired by railroad flagman. who imme-
ditely took flight. The whole town was
excited over the incident, large crowds
of miners gathering and consulting over
the fight All three young men were well
known and prominently connected.
The wound in Swans head is horrible,
having torn nearly all the way through,
fractured the skull, and the brains were
running out. He had lost SO much blood
that on arrival itstook some time to re-
vive the heart beat. Segel's injuries were
no less serious, from which he will die in
few hours
The boys were all known in Birming-
ham, and the news of their diff '4v came
as a surprise to their friend re-
mains of Tembley were not /, and
the funeral will probably IL ce at
his home tomorrow. other es of
