Detroit Commission Firms to Handle Large Portion of Strawberry Crop This Season-Dr. Bur
 ger Dies of Pneumonia

Cullman, January 27.-(Special) )-Last night. while No. 79, the fast southbound | freight train which reaches Cullnan about 10:15 was in the siding at this place waiting for the northbound passenger train, No. 1, to pass, and while the con ductor of the freight train was setting out a car of stock for this place, some body evidently with intent to kill the man fired at Conductor J. w. Davis with a pistol, one shot taking slight effect in one of his hands. Whoever did the shoot ing must have intended to do him consid- erable harm, as after he had shot the conductor a second shot was fired at him.
 There is theory that the man who did the shooting was evidently mistaken in the man, and that the shot was intended for someone else, as there IS no reason whatever for the shooting or the con ductor.
 No clue as to who the guilty party is has been found, but the officers here are keeping a steady lookout and 1t is be- lleved that whoeved did the shooting will be apprehended in the near future.
