fifth street between First and Second
avenues as he fled down the street
The wounded negro was Immediately
where City Physician Whelan operated
on him. The hospital authorities state
that the negro is in precarious con-
dition and will probably die
According to the police, Callowa Y

Green. another negro, at Twenty sec :

as they turned the corner of Second

saw the negro. with a knife in his
hand running toward First avenue.
La Rue ordered the negro to hal; and
started in pursuit. The officers who
We're in the Negroes path attempted

commission revoked the original or
der, and besides the people of Bes-
semer were divided on the question
lie feels that the commission has not
treated Bessemer quite fairly
When asked what he thought about
| the matter, George Ross, president of
the city council, said: I'm not sur
| prised, as | felt as if it was all planned
| out and the petition would be denied
| In my opinion there were a large
number of people who We're supposed
to go before the commission repreuent-
| ing the people and to ask that Union
station be erected in Bessemer who.
| when they appeared before that body
/ did not fulfill expectations
George Rutledge. president of the
/ Bessemer Commercial club, stated thai
| he WAS of the opinion that It would
| be better for the town to have severai
| adequate depots within a short dis
tance of the business section of the city
than to have A Union station so far
out as the location decided on by the
! commission.
William II. II Judson. editor Of the
! Bessemer Weekly. stated: "Tnat's lust
| what I expected. There was division
of the people on this question and (
the different roads will construct de-
POTS that will be adequate for the needs
and credit to the town, l will be sat-
sfed.'
DIR. ]. s Winters. alderman from Sec
end ward stated that he thought Bes-
semer had gotten 'the hot end of the
bargain" He also stated that the citi
2enss went into the matter individually
instead of collectively, and that they
could never hope to win unless they
stood together.
e. L. Huey. alderman from Fifth
ward. stated he was well satisfied 18th
the decision If depots were constructed
r | sufficient to accommodate the travellers
of this city and to meet the needs of
, The growing business. He said he
would rather have several depots that
, would be credit to the town than 70
have a Union station so far out of the
city as the site selected.
George Fl. Stevenson. secretary of this
Board OF Trade. said: I'm willing Il
take the best we can get. The action
of the railroad commission in revok
ing the original order was brought
| about by influence over which we had
no control and | would have hated tc
have a Union station at the point they
had selected. and would much rather
have Individual depots If they would
begin work on them at once. | am
very glad they are going to get action
at once. even if they have sidetracked
the Union station.
