AMERICAN FILIBUSTER CAUSED BORDER FIGHT IS CLAIM OF MEXICAN
Serrano, Military Commander of Sonora, Says Trouble Entirely Different From Reports
 Sent Out

Douglas, Ariz., January 29.-Amer- icSn filibusterers in an attack on the garrison at Casa De Piedra, precipi- tated the border fighting last Friday and Saturday near Stonehouse, Ariz, according to an official statement is sued today in Guaymas by Gen. Fran cisco R. Serrano, military commander of sonora. The statement as made in Agua Prieta, says:
 As some American newspapers have published the statement that several cowboys were attacked in Stonehouse, Ariz., it having been necessary to ask the aid Of American troops to repulse the attackers, I wish to explain that the incident was entirely different and contrary to reports
 The truth was that some Americans filibusterers attacked our garrison at Casa De Piedra on the Mexican side of the line, and were repulsed by our troops after short exchange of shots.
 Tn that region where the incident took place, there have been very ire quent incursions by cattle rustlers from thes American side of, the line and that is why we have been com pelled to redouble our vigilance on that part of the border" "

LETTERS IN POCKET

Judging from letters found in Honey Icutt's pockets, he had attempted to ef- feet reconciliation with his wife for the past month. He had also sent sew eral telegrams to her, all of which were marked mot at given address" All were sent from Akron, o.
 One letter to him from his wife was particularly noticed. '1 will never gC back with you, John" it said. "I think that you should pay your debts ana help support Charles Edward, however. You treated me mean enough and I am through with you" About dozen or more letters of the same nature, dating from January 9 to Janaury 26, were found in his coat pocket.
 Mrs. Honeycutt following the departure of her husband was employed for some weeks at Loveman, Joseph & Loebs de- partment store.
 Prior to committing the deed, Honey cutt went to the First National bank and withdrew his savings account, which amounted to $25. Pratically all of this money was found on his per son.
 LIVED HERE FOR YEARS
 Honeycutt had lived in Birmingham for number of years, residing in Shades valley with his mother. He left here about three months ago, aft CT the trouble he had here. He went to Akron and secured a job as brake man with the Pennsylvania company, where he has been working until ar irving in Birmingham Sunday night.
 According to Willard J. Wheeler of the Wheeler Business college, Mrs. Honeycutt has attended school for about one week. She was also a student several years ago.
 No one witnessed the shooting in the lobby of the Wheeler Business college Mrs. Honeycutt and Mrs. Lam der had been together but a very few minutes when Honeycutt arrived. The shooting caused large crowds to gather and the police had difficulty in effecting an opening to get the in jured women aid.
 Authorities at the South Highlands infirmary stated last night that all though Mrs. Honeycutt was seriously injured, she would probably recover. pr. Cecil Gaston, who attended Mrs. tions set in. her injuries would not prove fatal.
 The remains of Honeycutt will be shipped either today or tomorrow to Jemison for nterment.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF STATE MAY TAKE
 HAND IN ARGUMENT
Dr. Welch Contends City Defies the State Laws in Refusing to Take
 Harrington

pr. c. W. Welch of Talladega, state health officer is in Birmingham for the purpose of considering action against the city of Birmingham to force the commission to recognize the state health laws.
 1t is his contention that, in refus- ing to accept pr. Harring ton as city health officer because, he was also all- time county health officer, the conn mission questioned the legality of the state laws. He does not propose to enter into any local controversies, but is here merely for the purpose of talk ing action to protect the state laws as regards the state board of health.
 Whether action will be taken im- niediately or later has not been deter mined. but some measures will be in- stituted to force the city to recog- nize the statutes.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-01-30

the successor of w. T. Lawler last year, has refused to relinquish the of flee to MT. Jones on the ground that the constitution expressly provides that he may hold until the next gem eral eelction.
 Judge Robert c. BrickelI of the Mad ison circuit court held that Judge Jones was legally elected and should have the office, and Judge Mcdonnell appealed to the supreme court. This appeal will be considered Thursday and Madison attorneys are here to argue it.
 In deciding the case the supreme court must interpret the meaning of the constitution, which says a judicial officer named by the governor within six months of general election shall serve until ''the next general election Judge Mcdonnell was named within four months of the general election and his attorneys contend that he shall serve until the general election in 1918. Jones attorneys contend that McDon- nells term expired with the last cleo tion.
 TO BRING TEST CASE
 Test cases probably will be brought at once to determine whether or not voters legally adopted the Montgom- cry salary amendment, following an opinion of A. Fl. Arlington, county at torney, Monday that the amendment was legally adopted and is now a part of the constitution. The board of rev. enue asked for the opinion following reports that majority of all persons who participated in the November cleo tion did not support the amendment and that it was not legally adopted. County Attorney Arlington held that only a majority of those who voted on the question was necessary.
 Probate Judge Charles B. Teasley probably will bring the test case. If he is placed on salary all fees of his office will go into the county treas ury. This will be true also of the sher- if, tax collector and tax assessor though the present sheriff will not be affected.

It was naturally suspected that the ma iofity would insist that the original reso- lution, asking pr. Harrington's head be voted upon, but instead the meeting broke up in chaos. Those who had opposed the resolution thought that the others had pulled a '.bone" inasmuch as they had taken no definite action. However, it ap- peared after the meeting that al the oth- CT side wanted was a vote to show the sentiment of the society.
