Steele were at Gap Springs the larger
part of last night, they failed to find
Dave Williams, who is wanted on a
charge of murder for shooting Bruce
Williams The men are both miners, and
the shooting occurred at Gap Springs
Monday night.
Tuesday Dave Williams, who did the
shooting, came to the sheriff's office and
gave himself up. He claimed that he was
walking along the road when he was ac-
costed by Bruce Williams and told to
hold up his hands. He supposed that he
was going to be robbed, he claimed, and
drew. a gun and shot Bruce Williams.
He appeared to tell a straight story, and
as the sheriff had heard of the shooting
from nowhere else, he allowed the man to
go. Williams told the sheriff that if a
warrant was sworn out for him mat he
could be found at home at any time.
Bruce Williams was taken to the hos
pital and died there yesterday and a
warrant for murder was Immediately
sworn out for the other Williams. He
now can not be found, and the sheriff's
officers are trying every way possible to
locate him.
The friends and relatives of the dead
Williams claim that he was shot while
lying in his house. and that the case is
a cold murder crime. They claim that
Dave Williams told the sheriff the high
way robbery story so as to get time to
get away.

BEssEMER FILES PROTEST
Wants Better Freight and Passenge
Facilities and Union Depot

The Board of Trade of Bessemer has
entered complaint before the railroad
commission naming every railroad en-
tering that city defendants in a case
in which they claim inadequate freight
and passenger facilities and the abso-
lutte need of a union depot.
The case will be heard by the COM
mission at a meeting to be held Sep
TENDER in Montgomery. The rail-
roads have been cited to appear and
upon that date will file their answer to
the petition.
Sentiment among the local railroad
officers seems to be against the con-
struction of a union depot. In fact, ii
can be stated that the railroads will
not agree to construct depot for pas
senger trains used by all companies.
The commission will be notified to this
effect. The companies, however. are
disposed to remedy existing conditions
and the people of Bessemer may ex-
pect improvements in the facilities of
the Alabama Great Southern. the Louis
Vile and Nashville and the Frisco. The
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic has
made no plans yet.

"PUSS" NORRIS FISH STORY

| tear the line by backing off and run
ming into it with his whole weight, we
| tightly corked a three gallon jug and
fastened 1t to the trout line about the
middle of the stream. The jug foated on
top the water holding up the line and
would act as a break against any sud-
den pull made on the line by a fish. We
watched the line for awhile, but nothing
happened, SO we trudged back to camp
and went to bed.
Before daylight the next morning we
were up and dressed and reached the line
Just as 1t was getting light enough to
see. AS we caught sight of the trot line
the jug was jumping up and down in the
water like playful wild duck. We broke
into a run Fom the great commotion
going on in the water and the splashing
and Laundering of the jug we knew we
had landed a big one and commenced
operations with view toward getting
him to dry land. We both caught hold
OF the trot line and pulled. We could
have been pulling yet for it seemed that
the other end of the line had been tied
fast to a stump. We knew we were not
fast to a stump because %hatever 1t was
was alive so we went to camp and got
a boat.
"All four of US climbed into the boat
and started toward the middle of the
stream where the commotion was going
on in the water. Catching held of the
line on which the fish was fast we pulled
Still there was no give to the line and
our minds were exhausted for a scheme
to get him out. We talked of going for
more help but as we had pair of scales
in the boat we concocted scheme to
weight the fish. We tied the scales to
ona end Of tho boat and then fastened
the other end of the scales to the line on
which the fish was fast Then l stayed
in that and while the other three walked
to the other end of the boat and thereby
tipped my end away out of the water
That placed the fish on the scales and
they registered n pounds.
I'VE held conference of war and de-
cided we four fellows would either land
a 71-pound fish or let him get loose in
the attempt. So we loosened the trot
line altogether and commenced to heave
to- For over half hour that fish pulled
the boat all over the stream. up and down
the creek and from one bank to the other.
The contest was exciting in the extreme
and as the sun was commencing to get
high it was getting to be rather hot
work Gradually we could feel the fish
getting weaker and each sign OF weak
ening filled us with new energy. When
the struggles of the fish had become so
faint that they had almost ceased we ran
the boat onto a shoal and jumping out
we dragged an enormous yellow catfish
out on the sand.
I'VE then tied the scales to a tree and
weighed him again and this time the
fish weighed exactly So pounds. We de-
cided that we had worried those 10
pounds of flesh off the fish in attempting
to land tt

NO ACTION TAKEN
In HOWELL CASE

Coroner Brasher said last night that,
after a conference with Solicitor Hef1in,
he had decided nothing could be done
further regarding the death of Roger
Howell at Owenton a few days ago. The
Howell child was believed by the coroner
to have been allowed to die without
proper medical attention, as his parents
are Christian Scientists, and the child
was treated according to the Christian
Science doctrine.
Mr.. Brasher said that Solicitor Hefiin
told him there was no chance of convict
ing the Howells of any misdemeanor or
crime. There was no law to cover the
matter, and that although they might
be arrested and held for few months,
that in the end nothing could come of 1t.
Mr. Hefin is claimed to have said that,
although the child might have been neg
lected medically, yet there was no law
to cover that particular phase of the
matter.

| Firemen are natural born fishermen.
Some time ago it will be remembered
that thrilling fishing trip was accom-
plished by Fireman Bill Shropshire of
station No. l. At the time that Shrops'
fish story was causing SO much excite
ment it was noticed that Mr.. Norris (his
names "Puss," but he says he don't want
that published) was inclined to keep him
self apart from the crowds who would
assemble to discuss Shrop's adventures.
"Puss" could be seen sitting on an old
bale of hay in deep meditation, while at
frequent intervals his face would assume
firm expression, he would look intently
ahead of him like a fisherman watch
ing his cork, then jump to his feet and
swing his arms in an imaginary pull on a
bambo fishing pole. "Puss" didn't say
anything but the boys knew that before
long he was going to do something. He
did it.
The first part of last week his vacation
time came, and he left for his old home
near Wetumpka, on the Coosa river.
"Puss" got home last night and I'M
burdened himself Immediately of the fol-
lowing fish story which goes to show that
his meditations in the alley were really
plans for great things, and that he now
lays his honorable contemporary Mr.
Shropshire. In the shade, SO to speak:
There were four of us in the party
and we arrived at the designated camp
ing place on the banks of the old Coosa
just at dusk. 1t was a beautiful evening
There was not a stir of air and the water
lay without a ripple rejecting the deep
shadows of the gathering twilight. We
put up our tents and placed the camp in
order that night and next morning scat
tered for the days sport
when we rounded about the campfire
that night for supper each expected to
hear of some marvellous catch on the part
of some one else, but no one had had any
luck to speak of. We ate our supper in
silence, and after the meal was finished
each told of how he had caught the sew
eral small fish he had brought into camp
that evening. Along about midnight that
night two of US secured rigged-up trot
line and proceeded up the river.
1.-The night was cool, with a big moon,
and a fellow could not help but being
mighty glad he was alive. Every once in
awhile the smooth silvery surface Of the
water was broken by hundred widening
ripples and splash as big fellow Owed
into the air for an air bath. Finding
a suitable place we tied the trout line
across the creek, letting it sag down into
the water Then, SO that in case large
fish should hook himself he could not
