KILLING OF BONNER
PURELY ACCIDENTAL

The killing of Deputy Bonner was
purely an accident. 1t occurred In ca
boose at the end nearest the engine
Deputy Bonner was sitting with Detective
Moser, Deputies Curl and Steele and Chief
Deputy Walter Metcalfe. on the opposite
seat was Deputy w. j. Cope of Montgom-
cry and in front CT him were his three
bloodhounds. The special was running at
about % miles an hour and it was about
7:40 o'clock
From the rear of the caboose came the
call that all Tuscaloosa deputies prepare
to get off the train and signal was
given to the engineer to stop the engine
As the exhaust of the air brakes was
heard Deputy Bonner partly rose from
his seat and at the same time Deputy
Cope of Montgomery reached for his
Winchester rifle, which was lying on the
seat back of him. Deputy Cope grasped
bis rifle by the muzzle and jerked it out
from beneath another rifle and as he did
SO sharp explosion was heard, closely
followed by the words: my God, boys,
I'm gone" and Jim Bonner, the smiling,
good natured Jim Bonner, who for the
past hour had been cracking jokes, was
lying in the arms of his buddie," Dep

MORE NON-RESIDENTS
Many Letters Are Received Commend
ing the Project, Which Means An
other High Class Downtown
Club for Birmingham
MORE NON-RESIDENTS

The acceptances received for asso-
ciate membership in the Newspaper
club have practically reached the 500
mark.
The floors secured at the top of the
25-story jefferson bank building are
held to be the most ideal location yet
offered in the south for downtown
club and the acclaim with which the
plans of the newspaper men have been
received is a testimonial of the popu
larity of that location for club pur
poses.
In yesterdays mall were received an
unusual number of commendatory let
ters accepting invitations issued Many
came from out of town, indicating that
the thorough work of the nonresident
invitation committee will result in
most unusual number of nonresident
members. Practically every man of note
in the state is expected to accept. The
first letter received yesterday, how
ever, was from John II. Wallace, the
we'll known author, state game and
fish warden and candidate for governor
He sends this garland:
II hdo diipiutu mt Sltdt DitdSuit to-
day, in response to your invitation, to
mail my check in payment of the in
itation fee as a NONRESIDENT member
of the Birmingham Newspaper club. I
am deeply sensible of the high compli-
ment implied by your invitation to be-
come a member of your organization,
and / deem it a high privilege to be
thus associated with'y you and your fell
low members.
Birmingham is the heart center of
the most brilliant newspaper talent of
the SOUTH the writers on the papers
of Birmingham possess clear per-
spective, are enabled to forecast future
events with great degree of certainty
and their literary ability is unsur-
passed"
Locally Robert +. McDavid, former
secretary of state and the well known
financier, also tossed bouquet. He
says:
Il haven't nearly time enough to en-
joy the clubs to which | already be-
long, but cannot resist your invitation
to join the Newspaper club. and en-
close herewith my check for the In
itiation fee.

BIG FLAG TO BE
UNFURLED TODAY

The largest and doubtless the most
sumptuous American flag ever unfurled
in the south will be thrown to the breezes
from the Press club floor of the 25-story
Jefferson County Savings bank building
this afternoon. An announcement to this
effect was made last night by Eugene j.
Enslen. The flag Is to be operated from
the press club floor by copper ropes, an
innovation in this rart of the country
In measurements the flag is 80 feet
long and 16 feet wide. The flag was man
ufactured especially for the Jefferson
County bank and will be unfurled and
permanently hung from the Second ave-
nue. windows of the Press club. There
will be very simple ceremonies in con-
nection with the affair.

SHOCK TOO MUCH
FOR EXCITED NERVES

The smoke of the shot had not cleared
away. Everything was still with the
exception of the noise of the train SLOW
ing up. Chief Bodeker, who had been
walking toward where Bonner was sit
ting had stopped stock still and he, like
all the others present, was pale and trem-
bling. The shock had been too great for
the already excited nerves of the OFFICERS
and Deputy Curl was heard sobbing,
while many another strong hearted man
suddenly discovered that there We're cin-
ders in his eyes and handkerchiefs were
brought out
In another moment the train had
stopped and the tension was over. a
shrill voice cried: "All Tuscaloosa depu-
ties get off with the dogs" and a
scramble for the exits started Deputy
Cope of Montgomery, who had been for
moment blinking at the dead body OF
Deputy Bonner. mechanically turned
about and calling to his dogs to follow
marched out of the train without an
other word. AS he reached the track
Deputy Cope called to his dogs: Hunt
i'm down, hunt i'm down, Queenie,' and
he was off on the man-hunt.
The special then started for Tusca-
loosa but stopped again two miles
away to let Off Chief BodelSer and a
sew special picked men to take up the
chase at that point and the special
again started on its way to Tusca-

train for Birmingham came along at
$3.50 o'clock. At various intervals the
local train stopped and picked up tired
and worn-out officers. 1t was sad

clothes of Moser and was imbedded in
the side Of the caboose.
