TWO NEGROES HELD
 ON MURDER CHARGE.

City Detective Disheroon and Detective John Wrenn of Ensley have placed under arrest two negro women suspected of having killed Charles Minor. a negro, at his home in Alley D between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets last Monday night.
 The death of Minor was for a time sur rounded with mystery. Last Monday night he entered a drug store on South Twen- tieth street and bought some medicine. Upon leaving the drug store he walked out to the curbstone on the street and falling to the ground died in a very few minutes
 It was supposed that the negro died of heart failure. and until the under takers went to embalm the body it was not discovered that he had a bullet hoie in his back Upon finding the hole the undertal1ers had the place examined and a .3s-eallbre bullet was taken from the wound.
 The case was placed in the hands of Detective Disheroon and after very skillful piece of work he, with the as sistance of Detective Wrenn, succeeded in apprehending suspected parties. Im- mediately after the negro's death his wife and her mother, Irene Minor and Sallie Johnson, respectively, left Birmingham and went to Ensey Trent later nov ing to Palos. Both have been arrested and placed in jail on charges of murder.

Meteor Just Misses a Boy

To be s feet from the spot where
meteor crashed into the earth was the
experience of Willie Mekinnon, IA
year-old son of Angus McKinnon, of
Duncan, Vancouver Island. He was
working in his garden about 11.30 and
heard rushing noise, as if a train
were passing. AS the train was not far
away he took little notice of the sound
until moment after he was half
schocked by the conclusion as the me-
teor struck the earth, throwing the
soil and rock in all directions.
The boy says it felt as if tn re was a
slight earthquake, so great twas the
tremor. When he saw that something
had fallen he went over and found a
substance almost perfectly round ebout
10 inches in diameter The surface of
the meteor was deeply scored with
what resem bled hIeroglyphics.
