 Brutal Staying Of Mills
Companion of Dead Man, Who Rode Trolley Hateful Night Tells Russum of Gun Battle in Which He Hurled Gun From Face in
 Young Riot Thursday

Witnesses at the inquest held yes- terday by Coroner J. D. Russum gave graphic accounts of the gun battle on the Pratt City -Ensley car Thursday night in which L. s. Mills, ear re- pairer, of the Frisco railroad was killed and three other persons wounded. But as to the identity of the three alleged strikers who pre- cipitated the trouble they could shed no light that would enable off cers to, make arrests.
 The main witnesses to testify were A. B. Weathers, 1900 Magnolia street and J. L. Cantrel1, 2112 Twenty first avenue, north, both companions of Mills at the time he was shot. Weath- CTS is car inspector who remained on duty during the strike and Can- trell is a guard for the Frisco rail- road. They furnished partial de- scriptions of their three assailants but they could Sot say which way or how they escaped.
 An account of the intimidation to which a strikebreaker is subjected was told by Weathers, who declared that he had been approached the previous Saturday night by one of the three strikers and cursed. An other time when he rode the Aclpco car to work he declared that after he got off he was followed by strikers in an automobile who acted in threatening manner.
 Taking up the thread of the story concerning the shooting, he said that he, Mills, and Cantrell got on the car at Weaver station and that he mo- ticed three men standing in the rear of the car Near Mcclure station some one grabbed him by the arm and shouted to him and his compan- ions, Get off, your time has come" He said he slapped a gun out of his face and the shooting then began. About one dozen shots were fired and the car was filled with smoke, he said, but he did not know who shot Mills.
 Cantrell testified that one of the three men also threw a gun in his face, but that when the mans at- tention was attracted by a shot. he pulled his own gun and fired five times at the alleged striker. Can trell says that he struck the man and he fell grooming. The evidence here tended to show that this in- jured man was aided to an automo- bile and escaped with the two others, who started the trouble.
 After the shooting Cantrell left the car and walked across to the South Ensley car line and came to town.
 Earl Littleton of the Hanna Motor company was passenger in the car with T. H. Childs, who was pain fully injured. They were sitting up in the car and saw nothing until the trouble began. He said Childs had gun, but did not fire 1t.
 Motorman J. H. Corn and Conduc- tor L. L. Floyd said that they had seen neither of the men before. The three alleged strikers they thought got on at Pratt City. Mills, Can

Mills, who was so seriously hurt that he died later, ran several yards to a residence, where an ambulance was called for him and he was sent to St. Vincents hospital.
 The shooting began so suddenly that none of the passengers were able to give a description of the three alleged strikers who started the fight. A silence was being main tained yesterday by the police, but every clue Is being followed in the hope of locating the men, one of whom Is wounded, if the testimony of Guard Cantrell Is correct.

Excitement Adds to Weight Strain.

To insure a margin of safety, a
grandstand designed to accommodate
$4,000 people weighing approximately
$50 tons, must be strong enough to
support a weight of at least LOO tons.
The reason for this is that when peo-
pie are excited and jump about they
weigh twice as much as when sitting
still. A man crouching adds about
60 per cent to his weight in suddenly

The intuition of the moral sentiment

themselves. They are out of time, out
of space, and not subject to circum-
stance. Thus, in tho soul of man there
is a justice whose retributions are in
slant and entire. He who does a good
deed is instantly ennobled. He who
does a mean deed is by the action it.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD

Mr.. William A Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

Often the builder is confronted with
the demand that he is expected to
build a home of ample accommodate
lions for medium sized family, that
it shall be attractive and pleasing in
appearance and yet its cost shall be
moderate.
Now that may seem like quite
large order to fill. But there are such
homes and we are pleased to suggest
one of them. 1t is pleasingly attrac-
tive, there is enough room for the
average family to dwell within with
every comfort, and the cost will be
within the range of the owner whose
building budget is of modest size.
The large open porch with over
hanging roof supported by special fit
ted columns and a touch of the per-
COLA effect are strong factors in making
the house hOme-like TO look at. The
French windows at one side and the
large windows on the other side of the
front exterior, nicely set off with an
awning and flower box, make a front

The living room has the ever popular

from the past, but which is an es-
sential element in every modern home.
And there is bed closet in this ROOM
so the three bedrooms have the added
accommodations of an extra bed when

While the living room is only Il by
