LIONS WERE WOLVES

Gadsden February 14.-(Special l)-Ernest Burt, formerly chief of police of Attalla, was this morning killed at Crudup, a small mining town some six miles above Attalla, on the Alabama Great Southern railroad. He was shot from ambush by Bob Pierce
 The two men had some difficulty early in the morning, but no blows were struck and no one thought of any further trou- bIe. At 10 o'clock while Burt was walking along the street Pierce, who was in a barber shop, shot him in the head with q revolver. The wounded man died at l o'clock this afternoon
 Pierce is under arrest and will De brought to this city tonight. The dead man was very popular at Attalla and has a large circle of friends in the coun- ty. He was in the employ of the South ern Iron and Steel company at crudup.
 Timber Wolves Killed
 One of the animals that has been mak- ing life miserable for the people in the vicinity of Laney, a small place in the edge of Calhoun county, was shot and killed last night and proved to be a large grey timber wolf. It is as large as big collie dog and weighs about 100 pounds. The body was brought to this city today and has been on exhibition and hundreds have paid to see the car of the animals and the farmers supposed them to be mountain lions.
 Consider Industrial Fund
 At the mass meeting called last night to further consider the raising of fund of $150,000 by popular subscription for the locating of new industries in the city, q good start was made, although the at tendance was not as large as was antici- pated. But the men who were present made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers and it Is pretty certain that the big fund will be raised when the soliciting committees get busy.
 This work will be begun at once and the indications are that within a few weeks Gadsden will be fully prepared to talk business to any enterprise os merit that will consider this as a location.
 Consider Revenue Bill
 A special meeting has been called for tonight by the Gadsden Business Mems club to consider the proposed new reve- nue bill. It Is likely that resolutions will be passed condemning the proposed measure.
 At the meeting of the Business Mems club last night it was decided to send a committee to Montgomery in March to appear before the railroad commission and protest against the proposed raise in the freight rates in this district. It is likely that an attorney will be em- ployed to appear and present the peoples side of the question.
