CATTLE SHIPPED
FROM BESSEMER
J. E. Milton and Alderman
Edwards Injured in an
Automobile Accident

| Bessemer, September 3--(Special)
While returning from Bessie mines late
yesterday afternoon, Aldermen Jesse
Edwards and j. e. Milton were injured
when Mr.. Edwards automobile struck
a stump. 1t appears that Mr.. Edwards,
who has the contract for number of
houses at Bessie mines, and had been
out there looking after his work and
was returning to Bessemer when they
met an automobile. and as the road
was narrow and there was high grass
on Mr.. Edwards right he decided to
pull out in the grass on the side of
the road and allow the other machine
to pass. In turning into the grass the
machine struck a stump, which neither
Mr.. Edwards or Mr.. Milton saw, and
the latter was thrown against the wind
shield, cutting a big cash on his fore
head. His face was lacerated in sew
era1 places, as well as being bruised
about the body Mr.. Edwards was only
slightly bruised. Mr.. Millions injuries
were dressed as soon as they arrived
in Bessener and they are not thought
to be serious. although they are very
painful.
A large consignment of cattle will be
shipped from Bessemer to New Orleans
by c. Horton just as soon as the nee
essary railroad facilities can be pro-
vided, according to Mr.. Horton. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Horton ship
ped q large consignment of cattle to
the southern market recently, but this
next shipment will be much larger. 1t
Is stated that the number of head of
cattle will be considerably over 100

sometime and the household was up
great deal at night. This is the second
time this house has been robbed within
the past two months and entrance was
gained each time through side win
