LEAVES THE MINE
AND LANDS IN JAIL
WILL ADAMS DEFlED OFFICERS
AT PORTER FOR SEVERAL DAYS
BUT FINALLY cREPT FROM HIS
HIDING PLACE.

VIII Adams, the negro who openly de-
fed the county authorities to come down
into an old mine at Porter, near Adams
Vile, was committed to the county jail
yesterday afternoon on a charge of as
sault with intent to murder.
Adams is charged with having shot and
seriously wounded another negro at
Adamsville several weeks ago. After
shooting the negro he fled and made his
escape, taking refuge in an old mine a
short distance from Adamsville. He car
ried a shotgun into the mines with him
and def1ed the deputy sheriffs seeking him
to come down into the mines, stating
that he would kill anyone who attempted
to capture him.
The mine was carefully guarded for
several days and 1t was finally decided
to go down after the negro. Deputies
Ed Wilson and Beverly Chew went
! through the mines. but failed to locate
the negro. Adams stated last night, how
ever. that at one time the deputies were
within 10 feet of him.
1t seems that the guards were taken
away from the mines and on last Thurs
day night Adams crept out OF the mines
and came to Birmingham.
1t was learned thai the negro had come
here and a close watch was kept for
him. He was finally landed by the au-
thorities and is now being detained in
the county jail.

on Avenue E. As is usual In such cases
jealousy is given as the cause of the
ARRAY.

Bessemer, May Special. THE
deadlock in the city council over the
Second ward aldermapic matter is a
very live subject in Bessemer SO far
no agreement has been reached, many
eontending that Mr.. Gwin is a member
of the council in spite of President Ed
mundson's ruling. The sentiment in the
city appears to be that the council
should submit the matter to a pri-
mary.
Since the council is tied up so that
1t cannot attend to ordinary business
think that they should submit the
matter to the people of the Second
ward" said w. T. Kennedy. IF the
council cannot do what 1t is elected to
do L think that it should set the mat
ter aside and proceed to the business
that needs attention. The citizens of
the Second ward are the ones directly
affected, and they should be the ones
to decide the matter"

Berlin, May 1.-THE Prussian military
authorities have decided TO discontinue
the enlistment OF negroes in the army.
This ruling applies chiefly 10 the military
bands. in several of which there are
African drummers. The explanation or
fered unofficially is that the negroes IN
question have adopted the vices and none
OF the virtues of German civilization; they
have degenerst ted rapidly and are not
