DEPUTY KILLS
 NEGRO TEACHER
Nathan Jackson, the Dead Man, Had Been Previously Arrested By the
 Officer for Fighting.

Tuscaloosa, October 29.-(Special)-- Yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Burton Hyche shot and instantly killed negro school teacher named Nathan Jackson. The shooting occurred near the bridge that crosses the river between here and Northport.
 There were no eye witnesses to the been given out. There were two shots fired it seems, one of them proving fatal. This one passed through the fleshy part of the left arm and entered the left side very near the heart. The other shot struck the negro's thumb and did not penetrate through his clothing.
 From what can be learned it seems that Hyche arrested the negro last Sat urday for fighting, at which act the negro was considerably incensed. Yes terday afternoon the two were seen talking. A little later as Deputy Hyche was on his way to Northport the negro overlook him immediately after which Hyche shot. After the first shot the negro ran and fell some 50 feet from the place where he was struck.
 Hyche came back to the court house at once and reported the matter to the sheriff. Hyche is also game and fish warden for the county. The negro came here from Greene county and has been engaged in teaching near North port for some time. His body was taken to Gardiner's undertaking estab- lishemnt, where it awaits the orders of his relatives.

NIGHT IF PANIC
 FOLLOWS SHOCK Small Loss of Life At GadSden
 Is a Miracle PROPERTY DAMAGE S15,OOO Only One Man Is kilIed-Arthur Hood Turns Up Slightly InIured-The Streets Are Strewn With
 Shattered Glass.
PROPERTY DAMAGE S15,OOO

Gadsden, October 29.-(Special)- While the loss of life and property from the explosion at Hammond mines last night is not as great as at first believed, there is no describing the panic into which the people of this city were thrown and from which they have not yet fully recovered.
 That more people were not killed and hundreds seriously injured is a miracle. At least two-t thirds of the buildings in the city suffered damage from the shock The loss in plate glass alone will amount to fully $3O00
 Arthur Hood, the young man who was reported missing last night, turned up today. He was slightly injured. He was standing near Henry Keil who was killed, at the time of the explosion It was feared that he was killed last night.
 The injured are reported as doing well today. The body of young keil was prepared for burial and sent to Rome. Ga. today for interment. The deceased was former resident of that city.
 The property loss to the Hammond Mining company by fire and wrecking of buildings amounts to about s6000. The total loss in the city and at the mines will probably reach $15,000.
 The business district of Gadsden this morning presented a scene of wild dis order Shattered glass covered streets and sidewalks and most of the build ings were more or less windowless About 50 windows in the Printup hotel were shattered.
 The scenes on the streets last night following the explosion are indescribable. Men, women and children, panic strick- en, rushed out of their homes believ- ing that an earthquake had wrecked the town. When the cause of the shock became known hundreds of people still sought relatives and friends to know of their safety. It was a sleepless night for hundreds, and one that will never be forgotten by the people of this city and community
