IS IN 4 DYING CONDITION
 ~
Man Who Was Hurled from
 Train is at lnhrmary
BROUGHT HERE YESTERDAY
Base of Skull Badly Fractured-Van Horn, Who Threw Clarke Off Frisco Train. Is In
 Jasper Jail.

Bud Clarke, the union mine worker who was thrown off the train near Cordova by Jeff Van Horn Wednesday afternoon, is lying at Copeland & Berry's hospital in a critical condition and according to his attendants. he has no chance to live.
 Clarke was brought into Birmingham yesterday morning on the Frisco train in an unconscious condition. and carried to the hospital in Green & Co.'S ambulance. He was found lying beside the road just as he had fallen, all doubled up in knot and unconscious.
 The base of Clarke's skull was fractured by the fall, and he Is terribly bruised and cut about the head and neck.
 Picked Up By Engine. E Clarke was picked up Wednesday aft ernoon by an engine which was sent out i from Cordova for that purpose Jeff Van Horn, who was one of the three men who escaped from the Jefferson county jail with Frank Duncan, the noto- rious safe blower and murderer is in Jail at Jasper awaiting the result of his deed At present the charge against him is as
  minute the wounded man may die ana the charge will be changed on the docket to murder. Will Suits, another miner who Is employed at Horse Creek Is also in jail awaiting the official investigation 1t being thought that he might in some manner be implicated.
 The Fight.
 As is well known Van Horn and Clarke became involved in fight on the train because Van Horn made some remarks about Sheriff Moore, who was on the train The matter of unionism came up and several took part In the fight. Van Horn struck Clarke three times over the head with quart whiskey bottle and the latter ran to the end of the car to seek protection. He went to the front end and was unable to make his escape, as the baggage coach was ahead.
 Van Horn again attacked Clarke and the latter leaned off the step to get out of the way. Van Horn then cut the fin- gers of Clarke with a jagged bottle and forced the man to release his hold. He then struck him on the head and knocked him off the car. which was going forty miles an hour.
 An operation was performed on Clarke s skull yesterday morning at the hospital. but it Is not thought that this will save his life. It is probable that the cases against Van Horn and Stutts will be brought up at the meeting of the Circuit court of Walker county next week.

RECORD OF COURTS.

In the City court yesterday Lizzie Por- ter filed suit against the Standard Life and Accident Insurance company to re- cover 5000, which the plaintiff claims Is due her by the defendant. It is alleged that that is the amount of an accident insurance policy carried by her husband, Allen Porter, at the time of his death and 1t Is further set forth that Allen Por- ter met his death by accident.
 Several further steps were taken yester- day in the matter of the bankruptcy pro- ceedings of the Southern Car and Foun- dry company. Judge Thomas G. Jones issued an order restraining the sheriffs of Jefferson and Istowah counties from levy ing attachments on any of the property of the Southern Car and Foundry com pany, bankrupt and dssolving the at tachments that have already been made.

Ga, have filed separate petitions asking the court to make an order authorizing and directing the Santa Fe Land and Inn provement company to pay the petitioners certain amounts due the Southern Car and Foundry company in payment for cars made and delivered to the Santa Fe railroad.
 The petitioners base their prayer on the averment that the Southern Car and Foundry company borrowed s2OOo0 from each of them, offering as security the funds to be received from the Santa Fe q
 cars. The further averment is made that the cars were finished and delivered be- fore the Southern Car and Foundry com pany became insolvent.
