Bessemer Libez yman Shot
 By Blind Tiger Spofter

Bessemer. July 10.-(Special) )-J. R. Full ton, a member of a local livery firm, was shot and seriously wounded by J. M Johnson this morning at 11:3O o'clock on Nineteenth street, near Second avenue. Johnson has been employed by the mayor to secure evidence against the prohibition violators and has been quietly securing evidence against several alleged dealers for the past week.
 The shooting grew out of a fight the two men had at about 10 o'clock in the mayor $ court. MT. Fulton was in the court as a spectator and Johnson as a witness in several prohibition cases. It is said that Johnson in his testimony used MT. Full toms name, and this was repeated to Fulton.
 On Johnson's comip but of the court and into the back of he room Fulton assaulted him. The men were quickly separated and both placed under bond

Securing the money he proceeded to buy A calibre revolver He was walk Ing down Nineteenth street and met MT. Fulton at First avenue. It is alleged that Fulton struck him on the head with a paving stone. Fulton had Johnson by the neck and was preparing to strike him again when Johnson reached into his pocket and getting his revolver placed 1t against Fulton's side and fired.
 Fulton reeled away, crying T am shot," and fell to the sidewalk. Johnson was seized by E. l.. Huey, who prevented his firing again. Fulton was rushed home in Kennedys ambulance and Johnson. who had made no effort to escape, although t could have been done without diffi-

culty, was taken in charge by Sheriff George W. Jones.
 Excitement was intense for some time after the shooting and such violent threats were made against Johnson that Deputy Sheriff Jones thought it necessary to telephone Sheriff Higdon at Birming- ham for extra men, who were at once rushed to the scene.
 There seems to be a feeling over the city that Johnson's testimony in the police court and the fact of his being employed as a spotter had something to do with the quarrel, but it appears this is mis- take, as the matter was entirely a per- sonal one and the prohibition question had nothing whatever to do with it. John son was removed to the county jail and the immense crowd slowly dispersed.

Freddie Hord, the young son of MT J. H. Hord, was thrown heavily to the ground this morning on Second avenue when his bicycle became unmanageable and tossed him over the handle bars. Freddie was badly bruised about the head and face and sprained his ankle. The in- juries are not serious, but painful in the extreme, and 1t will be some time before Freddie will be as good as ever.

BOULDER PROPOSES
TO PROTECT RIGHTS
Especial to The Sentinel ]

Boulder, Colo, Dec. 14.-At the
city election held last spring. bonds
were voted to the extent of $4,000,
the proceeds to be used in the utiliza-
tion of the power developed along
the city pipe line. which leads from
the intake on the Boulder county
ranch to this city. There is diff
ference of elevation between the
points of about 5000 feet. in places
along the line there is a fall of 700
or 500 feet in 5000 or 1000, and
in these places. by substituting pres
sure pipe for the gravity conduit, an
immense amount of power could be
developed along tire line, more it is
estimated, than would be sufficient
to supply all the energy employed in
this city.
In view of the fact that the Central
Colorado Power company has prac-
tically taken all the power rights
available on Middle Boulder creek,
and that Secretary Ballinger has
withdrawn from utilization all pow
er rights on South Boulder, the city's
rights become immensely valuable
and Mayor Greenman and the city
council are having prepared all the
surveys, estimates and data on the
subject. and at an early days will be
prepared to take such steps as are
necessary to preserve the rights of
the city and to have in detail the
plans for plant that will in the
most feasible manner utilize to the
extent all the available power in the
pipe line.
