NEGRO KILLED IN FIGHT WITH DEPUTIES Fifteen Arrested In Gang on
 Red Mountain SEVERAL SHOTS FIRED | Citizens Had Made Complaint That a Crowd Had Been Gathering On Mountain Every Satur- day Afternoon.
SEVERAL SHOTS FIRED

A small battle between deputies and crowd of negro rowdies of Red mountain yesterday afternoon resulted in the killing of one negro, the arrest of 15, while one negro succeeded in escaping.
 Numerous complaints have been made to the sheriff's office during the past few weeks of negroes congregating in the public roadway near Valley View ore mine every Saturday afternoon. where they proceeded to get drunk. shoot craps and make life dangerous for white persons passing by. The scene of the killing is near the entrance of a cut through which the people residing on the other side of the mountain pass on their way to- ward Birmingham. It is a few hundred yards from where the Twentieth street road crosses the highest ridge, and overlooks Fifteenth street
 Yesterday afternoon a white man. ac- companied by his wife, went to the sh eriff's office and stated that large crowd of negroes had congregated there; that they were armed. were drinking and shooting craps, and that it had been necessary for him and his wife to walk around them
 Deputies Ed H. Wilson and Louis R. Dean were dispatched to the scene. As they neared the place where the negroes were Wilson circled around in one direction and Dean in the other. Both carried shotguns in addition to re- volvers.
 The officers state that they ordered the negroes to consider themselves un- der arrest The negroes acted sullenIy and one advised the officers to shoot and see if he cared. Two of them were armed with single-barrelled shot guns and one fired at Deputy Wilson. Deputy Dean stated that it was nec- essary for him to shoot over the other negro's head before he would throw down his gun. The other negro after shooting at Wilson ran for some dis tance and was fixing to fire again when Wilson opened fire with a re- volver The negro dropped to the ground and died within a few minutes The officers stated that they could have opened fire on the negro with their shotguns when he first shot but if they | had done so the chances were that they would have also killed several of the negroes who were not resisting ar rest.
 Another one of the negroes was quietly slipping behind Deputy Wilson and had just placed his hands on a gun when Dean called to Wilson, who turned and caught the negro in the act, and hit the negro over the head with a revolver. The negro was rem dered unconscious for several minutes. 1 The affair happened shortly before 5 l o'clock and attracted a good deal of attention. On the body of the dead negro were found 26 shotgun shells. { Coroner Brasher was advised of the killing and went to the scene, but has not yet made his report.
 ! In the arrest of this gang of negroes the officers think they have some of the meanest negro characters in the district.

 Victor Hanson, advertising manager of the Advertiser, was on the stand but a few minutes. He told how MT. Fillmore, Montgomery manager for Smiths cam paign. had phoned him about 9 o'clock one Saturday night and that he had gone to Elmore's office, where the affidavit was given him to be inserted as an advertise ment. He stated that he wrote the word Communicated" over the top of the ar ticle and then sent it to the editorial rooms for Editor Harry Berney to write the headlines for it. A charge of s25 was made for the advertisement.
 He further stated that he had no con- nection with the editorial department of the paper. When asked if the Advertiser had taken any stand in favor of either of the candidates he stated that it had not and that the advertising columns of the paper were open to both sides. Judge Wealkley then submitted an editorial ap- bearing in the Advertiser on April 5. 1904 which in substance opposed MT. Corners election. MT Hanson then stated that this was the first time he had ever heard of this editorial, and that it had been his impression that the Advertiser had taken no stand in the matter.

BRYAN ADDRESS THE
 Y. 1T. C. 4. IN BIRDIINGHAM

It is pointed out as not more than he has done hundreds of times. He is an official and a moving spirit in the nation al organization of the Young Mems Chris tian association and has always taken every advantage offered him to help the cause along.
 MT. Bryan will hardly be in Birming ham more than one day, as he is mak- ing a hurried trip to Cuba. The address at the theatre will be for men only, and admission will be free. It is probable that the auditorium will be overcrowded as it has always been on MT. Bryan's previous visits. Many democrats from all over the state will be glad of the opportunity to hear him speak again, although the speech will be entirely along religious lines.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-01-17

William Jennings Bryan will be in Bir- mingham two weeks from today, Sunday, January 31, and will deliver religious address at one of the local theatres under the auspices of the local Young Men Christian association.
 MT. Bryan is on his way to Cuba, and has arranged to spend day with his friend. John w. Tomlinson. It was planned merely as a friendly. visit, but when Secretary Stubbs learned of the in- cident. he made haste to invite MT Bryan to address a mems meeting at the thea tre. and his willingness to act was yes- terday expressed over the wire
 This Is In no way corroboration or the many rumors to the effect that MT. Bryan is going into evangelistie work.

LIBRARY SHOULD
 APPEAL TO ALL
WRITER SAYS MISS GREENE HAS RIGHT IDEA IN TRYING TO IN TEREsT EVERY CITIZEN IN THE PROPOSITION.
To the Editor of The Age-TIerald;

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Your little articles on the subject of
 a free public library have impressed mo very much. I think that you are start
 ing out on the right line, That the pub
 lie must be made to know that they
 need a public library" and that it is an
 erroneous idea that only club women
 and some others of a literary turn read
 books. Without the brain and brawn of the industrial workers, the Birmingham district would be barren waste and who- , ever assists them to a greater proficiency adds materially to the upbuilding of our city and country.
 I am glad to see the educators and the public spirited citizens of our city waking up to the fact that Birmingham is greatly in need of free public libra ry. Every citizen of Birmingham should
 be deeply interested In this subject and
 doubtless will be when the matter is
 presented in it's proper light. In the newspapers several schemes have been presented by which it is possible to build and maintain a free public library all of which are feasible. Other cities have tried them and found them to be suc- cessful especially the Carnegie idea.
 I have a suggestion and proposition to make which if carried out will be the means whereby the books necessary for the library can be obtained without the cost of a single dollar. My sug- gestlon Is that an opportunity be given a sufficient number of public spirited citizens to donate their private libraries. I am sure that library composed of such donations would be the largest and most complete in the entire south, and one of which every patriotic citizen would feel proud on account of 1t being a home institution. believe that a public li- brary inaugurated In this way would
 prove more beneficial than one given wholly by an individual outside of Bir- mingham.
 At the proper time and under certain conditions I am willing to be one of the first to make donation consisting of
 more than 200 volumes. While not of fering any suggestion as to the ways and means looking to the erection of a
 suitable building for the library or for it's maintenance after it's inauguration, I believe that it could be safely left in the hands of the public. Those who will be the greatest beneficiaries in such a public institution will be the industrial worker of this district, who have gen. erousl, ,ted a part of their weekly and monthly 7'ngs for the support of ] sever cna itGtie ,titutions, and I feel confdcnt that the would readily come to lbe support { an institution like tf g.

tracted attention from musicians and
critics of high standing in the music
world.
Caruso, the great tenor, asked to hear
Best sing, and was enthusiastic in his
praise and encouragement. On the re-
cent tour of the tabernacle choir Mr..
Best was the tenor soloist, and his work
was highly praised by the press. His
voice is of unusual sweetness, and his
control of it shows careful training.
Best has not been heard in Salt Lake
for nearly six years. and in that time
he has made almost phenomenal pro-
gress. His voice is much fuller and the
quality. as we'll as the range, have been
wonderfully improved. In more than
one case his voice has been compared
to that if CarusO, and many critics
name him as CarusO's successor.
In his concert here he will be assisted
by Professor J. J. Mcclellan, Organist,
and Willard Weihe, violinist. A pro-
gram Of unusual excellence is being ar
ranged. 1t will include at least two
