WHITE WOMAN IS ATTACKED BY NEGRO NEAR CAT MOUNTAIN Mrs. Teer Fought Desperate ly and Succeeded in Beat
 ing Off Assailant HUSBAND TRIES
 TO KILL NEGRO Deputies Act Quickly and Evade Angry Mob Which Threat
 ems to Lynch the
 Accused

Mrs Elisha Teer, white woman about 45 years of age, was attacked by negro named Percy Fox yesterday morning about Il o'clock near Rock Spring, To- cated about quarter of mile from NO. ' commissary at Pratt City.
 According to the statement of Mrs Teer, she was on her way to the commis- sary alone, and just after she passed the springs the negro ran up behind her and seized her around the neck. The ne- gro choked her severely and left finger prints on her throat. Mrs. Teer fought the negro desperately, scratching his face in a number of places, and succeeded In soaring him off She also bit him or the arm, which was one of the means by which she identified him after he was caught.
 Following his attack on Mrs. Leer he ran in the direction of the drift track in lower Pratt City. He was later captured by Officers w. T. Kent, w. H. Reeves, M. H. Upshaw and Dr. M A. Davis. The negro had gone to his residence at 2l3 Johns street and had changed clothes and was just leaving the place when caught. When arrested he would not talk and was taken back to Mrs. Teer. who positively identified him as the right person. She told the officers to look on
 
 could find a place where she had bitten him. The officers found her teeth prints on the. negros arm as stated.
 LYNCHING FEARED
 The four men got into an automobile and started for Birmingham and on the way back came upon MT. Teer, who with a number of friends were hunting the negro. Just as the crowd came together MT. Teer raised a shotgun and started to shoot into the auto occupied by the four white men and the negro. Deputy Harris grabbed the gun, and after scuf- fling for a few minutes managed to take if away from him. Mir. Teer became very violent and snatched two other guns from some men in the party, but he was again overpowered. The officers disarmed the party and then rushed the negro to the county jail. A large number of armed men gathered about the place yesterday afternoon, and it was feared for a time that they would attempt to lynch the negro
 Mrs. Teer is badly shaken up and much bruised about the face and neck by be- ing choked by the negro, and is in a se- rious condition at her home Her hus- band is much wrought up over the affair and only the quick work of the deputies prevented him from inflicting summary punishment on the negro.
 Fox is in the county jail and declines to make any statement other than abso- luteily denying any knowledge of the crime.

CITY ID ASSIST IN.
 GRAIN RATES FIGHT Quiet Session of City Con- mission and Routine Mat
 ters Acted Upon

There was very little doing in the mat ter of verbal skyrockets during the regu- lar Friday morning seance of the city commission yesterday. The balmy spring zephyrs that f1oated in the office of r-Comniissioner George B. Wafd were not conductive to recalcitrant actions and thus the morning conference lasted only about two hours, which enabled everybody to enjoy a good luncheon.
 The most important action during the morning conference other than the sug gestion of Commissioner Ward which re- duced the interest rate on the proposed school and municipal light plant bond issues, was to contribute the services of City Attorney M M. Ullman and $50 in cash to the fight for lowef rates on grain between Riverton and Birmingham
 Other routine matters passed by the city commission yesterday follows:
 Ordered the following fire hydrants in stalled: Holly street and Burgin avenue Central park; Sycamore street and Burgin avenue, Central park; Thirty-second street and Fourteenth avenue. Ensley.
 Confirmed action of the city attorney in entering into agreement with certain citizens of Pratt City relative to pay ment of sanitary sewer assessments.
 Adopted ordinance No. 370-C to regulate and complete the connection of private or public premises with the sewer sys- tenn of the city of Birmingham. etc.
 Authorized the city attorney to coop crate with the attorney representing the grain dealers of the city in their appli- cation before the public service commis- sion for a reduction in freight rates and authorized the payment of $50 for legal counsel in this matter.
 The following matters were referred:
 To Commissioner Truss with power to act: Application to have the Elyton cem- etery cleaned up.
 Sale of old sprinkling wagon to R. S. Munger.
 Application of F. F. Johnston that the city set curbstones in front of his prop erty on Sixth-fourth street. .
 To President Ward with power to act: Settlement of assessment of Dr. E. T.. Fields for sanitary sewers under ordi- nance No. SIS.
 To Commissioner Barberwith power to act: Petition of F. H. Perry and c. w. Byers for refund of fine.

MANNER OF PROCEDURE

As to the manner. of procedure in making. the reduction of the interest rate Commissioner Ward suggested that City Attorney M. M. Ullman draw up two new ordinances identical with the ones, now on the city books for bond issue of $2.0U0,000 for the con- struction of schools and for $500, ,OOO for the construction of a municipal light plant with the interest rate specified at AZ per cent. The two ordinances that show the interest rate of per cent will then be repealed. by the city com mission and the new ordinances which show the reduction in interest charges will be adopted This action will take place next Tuesday.
 Tt was suggested yesterday morning that the city commission repeal the two present bond issue ordinances at once but Commissioner Weatherly at once entered an objection.
 1T am in hearty sympathy with this reduction in the interest rate,' said .Commi ssioner ,Weatherly, and am will ing to do everything in my power to make this change as quickly as pos- fsible. Howeveri l am unwilling to re- peals the school bond ordinance or the ordinance. for the municipal light plant while waiting for the substitute ordi- |nances that will be prepared by MT. |Ullman But I suggest that we leave the. ordinances as they are and when Mir. Ullman reports the substitutes next Tuesday we can repeal those now on the city books and then enact the substitutes We can do that very quickly"
 Commissioner Weatherly's suggestion was adopted and next Tuesday will see the city commissioners in the act of re- pealing the two ordinances which call for a municipal election on June 5. as to whether the people want to issue s2,O00 coo of city bonds to construct and repair ( tContinued Q.
