Rewards of $500 Offered
Telegrams Are Exchanged

Chairman W. C. Agee of the excise commission yesterday sprang distinct surprise by sending the following tele- gram to Governor O'Neal:
 Gov Emmet, O'Neal, Montgomery, Ala
 That the killing of Ellard, LewisburG, yesterday was the direct result of the noted blind tiger there, there can be no doubt If such conditions are allowed to stand the Smith bill must fail; law and order cannot prevail. The people of Jeher- son county will expect you to give protec- tion and remedy W. C. AGEE.
 After the receipt of the telegram Gov ernor O Neal sprang equally as distinct a surprise by inviting Chairman Agee to go into conference with City Commissioner A. o. Lane over the situation at Lewis burg, which is about three miles beyond the city limits This conference was held yesterday afternoon and resulted in Judge Lanes sending the following telegram to Governor O'Neal:
 Affair at Lewisburg deplorable and demands quick action. I suggest reward for first evidence securing arrest and conviction of murderer and employment of detective A. o. LANE"
 Chief Deputy Metcalfe does not hold to the theory that the assassin had lain in wait a long time at the place of the am bush, but on the other hand had been there only few minutes The chief deputy states that in his opinion the as sassin was at Mary Lee mines and saw Elard get out of his buggy and go into the house of Judge Dement,, which can be seen from the coke ovens. He then made his way to his ambuscade and waited a few moments for Ellard to appear in order that he might shoot him.
 The murder of Ellard is the fourth with in a radius of two miles, Luther Broom, Lawrence Evans and Ellards son, Con- stable Will Ellard. being killed only a short distance from where Ellard was Killed All of these cases have attracted widespread interest.

SHERIFF'S FORCES WORKING IN HARMONY WITH MEMBERS
 OF THE DEAD MANS FAMILY
Total Rewards of $500 Offered For Lewsburg Murderers Agee Urges Governor to Give Relief-Lane Wires Governor Recommending Employment
 of Detectives

The harmony which exists between the sheriff's forces and the family of Felix J. Ellard, who was shot and despite the seeming friction of the past two weeks, was the most important feature of the case yesterday, the day after the shooting. Claude Ellard, the only son of the dead man, and Ed Guthrie, the elder Ellard's sonin-law, have placed the matter wholly in the hands of the sheriff and both of them are working with the officers in every way they can 10 bring the guilty ones 10 justice.
 1ncidentaiwith their placing the mat ter in the hands of the sheriff, it was rumored yesterday that they had also given the sheriff the names of five men whom they stated that they had reason to suspect as being the mur- derers of E1lard. However Chief Dep uty Metcalfe last night stated that while the names had not yet been given the sheriff he understood that they would be given him within a day or two. The names will be held inviolate by the sheriff.
 COnfers With Son
 At the scene of the killing Monday night, one of the first acts of Chief Deputy Metcalfe, who was in charge of the expedition, was to confer with Claude Ellard and disabuse his mind of any theory that the sheriffs office did not intend to do it's best work on the case. Ellard, it is said, told Mir Metcalfe that he was willing to work in conjunction with him and would aid him in every possible way. There ap- pears to be no doubt that the most serene harmony exists between the sheriff's forces and the Ellard family despite the unpleasantries of the past few days.
 Sheriff McAdory personally visited the scene of the trouble yesterday in com pany with Chief Deputy Metealfe, Dep uties Hartsfield, McDun and Helton. newspaper men and citizens of the Lewisburg beat. He looked over the situation thoroughly and conducted a search of the hills adjacent for any scrap of evidence which may have been left by the assassin in his flight. How ever, there was nothing found which could be construed to have any con- nection with the killing.
 Second Ambuscade Found
 A second ambuscade was found by the deputies just a few yards up the road from the place where the assassin was hidden. Young pine tops had been broken off and placed there to screen him from observation, but he appar- ently decided that the lower place would be more advantageous, and moved down. He left nothing at the place from where he shot except a chew of tobacco and this was so bad fly masticated that nothing could be made of it.
 The theory which was first formed by the officers that there were two or more men implicated in the killing has

The granting of a 90 year franchise to the Tidewater Power company to oper- ate an electric lighting plant the passage of drastic ordinance seeking to prevent ticket scalping at the theatres of the city, and the awarding of a bid for paving were the features of the meeting of the city commissioners yesterday morning.
 The usual routine business was quickly disposed of and as the Tidewater fran chise and ordinance had been practically agreed on there was no discussion and the measures were passed as read
 A number of matters relating to the disposal of improvement assessments in Ensley, West End and Graymont were taken up. Commissioner Weatherly re- ported that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company would pay for the completion of the pavement on Ave nue E,, Ensley, and that the street car company had abandoned the practice of storing cars on Seventeenth street. near Cecapd avpnue

been displaced by one that only one man knew anything about it. It seems that most of the killings in that vi- cinity lately have been one man af- fairs, and the condition of things found in the daylight has helped to produce this more recent theory.
 Rewards of $500 Offered
 GovernorsO Neal has displayed great deal of interest in the matter of the kill ing and seems to be determined that the guilty man shall be apprehended and punished. He has recommended that a detective be employed to work on the case but stated that the state had no fund for such a contingency and recommended that the citizens make up a purse for this purpose. So far there has been no movement made in this direction.
 Sheriff McAdory asked the governor to offer the maximum state reward of 800 for the arrest and conviction of the mur- derer which the sheriff has supplemented with s2OO from his own funds. This makes a total of S1200 in rewards for killings in that beat a like amount being offered in the Lawrence Evans case.

Reports from Range Country to East Say They

The report is brought in from the range country over toward the New Mexico line that there arc cattle rustlers at work. A number O. sus- picious characters were seen and were questioned as to their business, but no charge could be brought against them. as only the fact that they seemed c. be ranging around without any apparent business could be charged against them.
 Cattle thieves have been operating on the American side, aud stock is missing, but the thieves operate from Mexico and are oyer the border with their seizure before they can be ap prehended. and the existing condition in Mexico makes it almost impossible to get any stock, or in fact ything, after it has c-ussed the line. There Is no doubt but that the cattle are taken c., cJod.
