SWEETHEART WAS
EAGER FOR WATCH
SUIToR KEPT 1T TOO LONG
AND 1T WAS STOLEN FROM
HIM AND GOT HIS IN LOTS OF
TROUBLE.

HAZARD Wilson was arrested last night
by Officers McAllister and Ball and placed
in the city Jail on the charge of grand
larceny of a $s5 gold watch from his
former sweetheart.
1t is claimed by Wilson's friends that
the whole thing is mistake and Wilson
is entirely innocent of any attempt to
violate the law. The story that is told is
that Wilson was paying attention to a
girl friend who gave him her watch with
the understanding that he wanted to take
it uptown and get his picture placed in 1t.
While Mr.. Wilson was getting the picture
placed in the watch sutton No. 2 appeared,
won the favor Of the young lady and
when Mr.. Wilson heard of 1t he quit. He
neglected taking the watch back from
time to time until one day he discovered
that the watch had been stolen from him.
The owner of the watch demanded that
it be returned to her and young Wilson
asked that he be given time to try and
find where the watch had disappeared.
After few days another demand was
made that Mr.. Wilson should produce the
watch. He still had not recovered it and
told the girl that he would give her a
check for the value of the watch, but
that she should not cash 1t before next
Monday, as he might find the watch in
that time. Instead of waiting as she
had promised, 1t is alleged, the girl tried
to cash the check right away and find
ing that Mr.. Wilson did not have that
much money In the bank she caused his
arrest. It is alleged that Mr.. Wilson in
tended to put the money in the bank be-
fore Monday If he failed in the attempt
to locate the watch and If the girl had
not gone for the money until Monday,
as she had agreed, everything would have
been all right.
The friends of Mr.. Wilson gave bond
of 800 for him and he was released.

BRYAN WILL NOT
COME TO ALABAMA
CHAIRMAN LEE LONG WIRED IN
VITATlON AND RECEIVED RE-
PLY FROM Mr.. BRYAN'S BROTH
ER-LoNG MAKES STATEMENT.

william J. Bryan, the great common
er, will not take part in the Alabama
fight for and against the amendment.
Yesterday the following telegram was
received by ]. Lee Long. chairman of
the anti-amendment committee:
wv, J. Bryan's speaking engage
ments in Arizona. New Mexico and Tex
as will occupy his entire time until
after December l. C. w. BRYAN"
There will be considerable regret
when 1t becomes known that Mr.. Bryan
will not come to Alabama. He has
been here several times before, and has
never failed to attract large audiences
to his speakings. Mr.. Bryan has many
warm friends in Birmingham and he
would have been h card with the great
est interest.
IT exceedingly regret" said Chair
man Long last night, that Mr.. Bryan
will not come to Alabama. Immediately
on seeing in certain newspapers that
there was a possibility of the peerless
one coming to alabama, I Immediately
wired him, asking If the reports were
true, and conveying to him an invita-
ton from the defenders of the con-
stitution.
"The honest discussion of the ques-
ton confronting the people OF Ala
bama at this time by men of recognized
ability, is most welcomed by those who
| seek to defend the constitution, and to
stand between the fee grabber and the
homes"

HORRIBLE ASSAULT
AVENGED BY MOB
farmers Wife Outraged BY
Negro Near EdwardsyiIIe
VICTIM MAY NOT LIVE
Posse of Men, Enraged By Atroclty
Of Crime, Riddles Body of AS
sallant and Then Burns the
Corpse.
VICTIM MAY NOT LIVE

Heflin, November 24.-(Special.)---
After having committed repeated Grim
inal assaults on Mrs. W. C. Cheatwood,
wife of a farmer living near Edwards
vile, northeast of here, Ray Rolston,
a negro, was hunted down by posse
of enraged citizens and after being
captured was completely riddle with
shot and the body was burned. AS the
result of her horrifying experience
Mrs. Cheatwood is In a very critical
condition and may not survive.
The Negroes crime was committed
about IL o'clock Tuesday night. From
the best reports received here Rolston,
the negro assailant, was in drunken
condition and was probably never con-
scious of any violent treatment at the
hands Of the posse which avenged the
crime which he had committed.
Information received Is to the effect
/ that the negro went to the cheatwood
! home and after breaking in the door
rushed upon Cheatwood, saying: I'VE
have got you now and we are going TO
kill you"
Cheatwood, it seems, fed through a
window and hurried to nearby houses
to arouse his neigh bors.
While Cheatwood was absent, 1t is
reported, the negro attacked Mrs.
Cheatwood, who fed into the yard in
front of the house. In the meantime, 1t
Is understood, the four children of
Cheatwood were awakened.
Rolston followed Mrs. Cheatwood into
the yard and after terrifying her at
tackled her in the presence OF her child
rem.
Picking up a large rock the negro
struck the woman on the head with 1t
and then caught her by the hair anu
dragged her over two hundred yards
Mrs. Cheatwood again and then lay
down beside her in drunken stupor.
Mrs. Cheatwood recovered sufficient
consciousness and strength to crawl to
her home, where she found her hus-
band and friends who were looking
for her. Mrs. Cheatwood told the posse
where the negro could be found and
the angry men set out after the as
sailant.
The crowd of men soon found the
negro, who was sleeping from the eff
fects of liquor which he had swal-
lowed They put an end to his life by
Kidding his body with bullets and then
burned the corpse.
Mrs. Cheatwood Is badly bruised all
over from the blows received at the
hands of the negro. Finger marks
about her throat bear evidence of
Rolston's efferots to choke her into in
sensibility.

language before an audience of principal
ly ladies and children tonight at Rebie
hall. Mrs. Armour heaped ridicule upon
the opponents of the amendment, max
ing the statement that any honest man
who voted against the amendment was
fool Similar epithets were applied TO
the prominent men who are using their
Influences against the amendment end
she declared that they were either typo
crits or fools. Mrs. Armour said that
all the arguments made by the defend
ers were false with one exception. a state
ment made by Governor Jelks that the
passage of the amendment did not put
the Fuller bill in the constitution. Two
hours were consumed by the speaker
who closed with an appeal to XIII the
tiger"
An informal meeting of the council was
held this afternoon and the representa-
tiyes of W. A. Neal & Son were heard.
Nothing definite was determined upon
but 1t is understood that the matter will
come up at the next meeting of the coun-
ell. The police committee has made no
decision In the Bell case and 1t is very
probable that the matter will be sus-
pended until after the election on Mon
day. 1t seems that some more evidence
is necessary to complete the case and
the committee is waiting for this 20
make final report.
Lulu Hines, an inmate of the restrict
ed district, committed suicide this after
noon at her house on Twenty-hrst street
by taking a large dose of carbolic acid.
She died in a few minutes, at 6:15. She
left no statement. Her relations were noti-
fed and the body is being held at Ken
nedys to await the disposition of her
relatives. Coroner Brasher was in the
city tonight In regard to the affair and
will hold an investigation tomorrow at
10 o'clock.
The Bell Telephone company is adding
10 new trunk lines over the South Bes
sener line connecting Bessener with Bir-
mingham and as there are seven new
ones to be added on the North Besse-
mer line this will materially increase
the efficiency of the service between the
two cities. The 10 trunk lines were cut
into the office this morning and the 9TH
err seven will be in short time. The
new lines bring the total number of lines
between Birmingham and Bessemer up
to 81.
Quite a commotion has arisen in Bes-
semer over the poll lists as number OF
prominent citizens have been omitted
from the list either through error or
failure to pay last years poll tax. The
registrars in Bessemer are very busy
today and there will probably be rush
tomorrow as It is the last day that they
will be in Bessemer. A canvass of those
registering today shows that of the total

man but there was strength in his mad
ness The officer received several we'll
