A pitiful case came to light yesterday in Judge Feagin's court, when w. M. Cook, a white man living in Pratt City, was on trial for disorderly conduct and carrying concealed weapons.
 It seems that Cook came to Birming- ham Thanksgiving afternoon and became a little disorderly. He was arrested and was a little more dsorderly. pistol was found in his pocket and second case was docketed against him.
 At the county Jail he plead pitifully to be allowed to go, as he had sick wife at home and she needed attention. He had some things he wished to carry her but had gotten arrested in the meantime. He pleaded to get out, but 1t was impos- sible to release him, as no one knew him and there were none to go his bond. He had no collateral

Desk Sergeant Tom Shirley. of the po- lice department, went to Mobile last night to identify negro caught there for Henry King, who shot and killed Police man James II. Mullin about three months ago
 A negro answering Henry Kings de- scriptlon has been arrested there, and af ter a lengthy telegram and talk over the long distance telephone it was thought best to send man to see if 1t was really the negro wanted.

CouahIln a Bankrupt.

In the United States court yesterday Judge T. G. Jones declared John H. Coughlin a bankrupt. A petition was filed in the federal court several months ago by Wilhelm Pferdmenges, Alfred Niepenberg and others asking that MT. Coughin be placed in involuntary bank ruptcy. It was alleged that he owed them large sums of money.
 Demurres to the petition were filed and the court has had the matter under consideration for some time and made decision only yesterday.
 MT. Coughlins case attracted much at- tention at the time the petition was filed because the charges made against him in connection with certain shipments of cotton were somewhat startling.

From authoritative source It Is learned
that the Norfolk and Western Railroad
is contemplating laying u track around
the mountain through which the Crail,n
tunnel extends, and which Is now burn

veins Of coal. which We're struck when
the tunnel was being made, have caught
fire and time alone may determine the
result OF the blaze. Every effort of the
railroad to extinguish the blaze has been
In vain, Over nine hundred men are now
employed at the tunnel, which Is about
1000 feet long, Both OF Its ends have been
stopped up securely and an air shaft run
Into tho top of the mountain In nsan effort
to smother the blaze Water Is being
pumped into the cavity and It WAS
thought that In this manner the blaze
would finally be reached and quenched.
All of these efforts have seemingly
proven In vain, and the fire still RACES,

To lay the track around the moun-
tain, 1t Is said. will involve m cxpendi-
ture OF half million dollars.
