 Night-COmments
 on Shooting

Miss Ruby Walthal, the 1S-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. R. E. Walthal, who was shot and seriously wounded Fri day night, was resting well last night. She was shot in front of the Christian church at North Birmingham by Albert Wakefield. a blind man, who afterward turned the weapon on himself and inflict- ed mortal wound. Wakefield died at St. vincent's hospital Friday night at 9:45 o'clock, about an hour after he had shot Miss Walthal.
 It is thought that Miss Walthal will recover from the wound inflicted by
 Wakefield. The bullet took effect in the
 left Ereast just below the sixth rib and came out in the back. When seen by reporter of The Age-Herald she said that she was not responsible for the rash act of Wakefield and had tolerated his
 company on account of her pity for him.
 T did not love him and never had"
 she said. T did think he loved me, and
 the result was 1 have repeatedly tried to

 mad nothing to do with the act of Wake
 field and am sorry 1t all happened. Miss Walthal is a beautiful brunette, with large. brown eyes and d skin like aiabaster She appeared to be very weak from suffering and spoke in a low tone of voice.
 T am victim of love, and yet know nothing of it" she said T never dreamed the man was going to hurt me until he grasped my hand and look of deep hatred eprang upon his countenance. He told me he had taken some alcohol by ac- cident and was going to die. I knew he was not telling me the truth and I told him so. When I did, it made him angry
 and he tried to kill me and succeeded in killing himself'
 She breathed a deep sigh and turned on her side. q knew nothing of his in- tentinns to do me or himself harm I am so sorry"
 Funeral services over the remains of Albert Wakefield will be held from the family residence in Bessemer this after noon at o'clock The Rev. w. K. Thorn 1 ton will officiate. The deceased is sur vived by his parents and several sisters and brothers

Wakefield Funeral Will Be Held This Afternoon-Interestin Recital Given by Mrs. Crowe's
 Pupils

Beasemer. November %.-(Specia1.) Much excitement has been started among railroad men of this city by the finding of sticks of dynamite hidden In cars loaded with iron ore from Red noun tain.
 It was stated that there was no ques- lion that some outside agency was en- gagged in the practice, and if this was permitted to continue, would eventually blow up whatever furnace the ore was dumped in. The companies mining ore have placed watchmen on trains at dumps where the ore is stored and loaded to prevent anyone from dropping the dan gerous explosives in the ore since the discovery of the dynamite in the cars.
 Just why the explosives were placed in the cars loaded with ore Is not known, but it is believed that someone opposing the manufacture of explosives for the warning nations is responsible. It is not thought that dynamite would be placed in the mines, as there would be danger of blowing them up and not accomplish ing what might be intended. It has been stated that contractors in mines will be lhhel OlI anu loToI1en SSleCIeu to QO d1i the shooting, thus preventing any set ting off of dynamite except at regular in tervals and by parties who will protect the interests of the company.
 For sometime rumors have been cur rent in this district that some agencies were at work to destroy property, but the discovery Of one or two sticks of dynamite was nos sufficient to arouse the employees. However when it became so frequent, they deemed it expedient to take some action in the matter. Men who operate trains on Red mountain at night to haul the ore to the furnaces felt that something should be done to protect them
