UNUSUAL FATAL DUEL FOUGHT BY NEGROES
Two Shots Fired--Guns Jam, One
 D;eS At Bessie Thursday

One of the most extraordlnary cases of gun-play of its kind, came to Night Thursday when Coroner Russum held an informal investlga tion into the duel of two negro coal miners at 745 o'clock Thursday morning on the streets of Bessie. small coal mining town several miles north of Birmingham. The negroes names were Jack Tinsley and Alec Rrewton and up to the time or the duel they were never known to De at odds with each other.
 A slight dispute arose between them at work Wednesday and early Thursday morning when they met on the streets they opened fire on sight. Two shots were fired and Jack Tins lev was instantly killed. Brewton was not scratched. He was placed under arrest pending the coroner's inquest.
 The queer part of the duel was the fact that both pistols after nav ing been fired once became damned and could not be used.
 The guns were brought to the cor oner's office where it was found that they were of modern make and up-to- date firearms. The hammers of both pistols were cooked but no amount of pressure could release them.
