SHOOTS AT NEGRO.
Old Army Rifles Being Used Shoot
 With Terrific Force.

The force with which a Springfield rife throws bullet was exemplified last night when Will Henderson. an Ethiopian, shot at another negro The bullet went close enough to the negros ear to frighten the life nearly out of him, but did not touch him. After passing him it pen etrated the walls of two houses, then buried itself in a thick fence.
 Henderson was arrested few minutes after the shooting, having the gun in his possession at the time. It was one of the old style Springfield army rifles, which are being sold at s1.95 apiece. The gun was loaded with the regulation army bullet.

It does away with all objection on the part of people living in the same neighborhood and from the street no one would know there was a jail in the vinioity. In Chicago we have this arrangement of the jail and it has proven most satisfactory
 Considering the marked tendency to- ward the skyscraper jails I am of the opinion that Jefferson county would make no mistake in erecting such building for it's jail and courthouse. The skycraper is undoubtedly the building of the com ing age and it will probably never be done away with, so a 10 or 15-story court house in Birmingham would perhaps never become out of place."
