DEPUTY SHERIFF
 SlAYS ANOTHER
Officer Makes Mistake That
 Costs Deputy His Life.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 26.- James Bonner, deputy sheriff from Birmingham, was shot and killed this morning at 7 o'clock near Cottondale by a Montgom- cry deputy sheriff who mistook the Birmingham deputy for a train robber of the Queen and Crescent holdup during the night. Bonner's Body is being brought here on a Queen and Crescent train, arriving here at 12 o'clock.
 Sheriff McAdory, with six dep- uties, chief of police of Birming- ham, and several deputies, as well as posse of deputies from Montgomery and Tuscaloosa and Bibb counties, are at work on the case in Northern Bibb coun- ty and Tuscaloosa county hunt ing for the men who robbed the Alabama Great Southern train No. 2 last night, shortly before midnight. The robbers are be- lieved to have left the engine and the express and mail cars, after robbing the safes in the lat ter, and then to have let the en- zine run wild down the track. When it passed through Tusca- loosa about 1:3O o'clock, going at a rapid rate, nobody could be seen aboard.
 A special train is carrying blood-hounds from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa, while Birming- ham dogs are already on the scene. A report here is that a registered mail pouch was ob- tained by the robbers, as we'll as smaller amounts of money from mail and express cars.
 According to a dispatch from the Journal special staff corres- pendent at Cottondale, Ala, the bandits who held up the Ala bama Great Southern express train near Bibbtown last night escaped with approximately $5O,OOO. The robbers were two mere boys. After routing the express messenger and mail clerks, the bandits stole the front section of the train, and after a wild run of thirty miles, blew open the safe and made their escape.
 The report says:
 Within twenty minutes after the daring robbery the unique spectacle was presented of two special train loads of deputies in hot pursuit of the runaway engine with baggage and mail car attached which passed through Tuscaloosa at a rate of sixty miles an hour. Sherlft Palmer, who had been notified from Woodstock of the robbery, was stationed at the depot plat
 orm. He opened fire on the ban dits as he sat at the throttle, and a fusilade of bullets was return ed.
 "A general warning has been sent out, and this morning nnds a posse of 100 deputies and far far mers armed to the teeth, SCOUT ing the swsamps on both sides of the road. ,e.
 "At the time of the robbery one negro porter engaged in ] a |hand-to-hand encounter with the bandits, but was overpowered.
 "The train was stopped py means of a danger block system which had been tied so that the red signal faced the train as It was hurling through space. AS soon as Engineer Daniels saw the signal he reversed the pow 1 j q
