Got Out of Way of One, But Was
 Struck By Another.

Frank Millwood white man, was struck by a train on the Southern rail- way two miles east of Irondale yesterday morning and instantly killed. The re- mains were brought to Birmingham and carried to Gaudin & Co.'S establishment and prepared for interment.

MUCH TESTIMONY
 IN LUCILLE CASE Company's Affairs in Bank ruptcy Attract Attention ARGUMENT BEGINS AUG. IS Efforts of Alabama Mineral Land Go. and Campbell Coal and Coke Go.
 to Set Aside the Order
 for Recelvershlp.
ARGUMENT BEGINS AUG. Is

The Lucille Coal company's affairs have been taking up the time of N. W. Trim ble. referee in bankruptcy, in his office in the government building and a large amount of sensational testimony has been adduced.
 The matter has come up directly through the efforts of the Alabama Min eral Land company and the Campbell Coal and Coke company, to set aside the order of receivership heretofore en- tered in the case. and have the court place them in possession of the prop erty, which is situated at Lucille, in Bibb county. The petitioning companies alleg- ing that the Lucille company, which worked the property under lease from them, had forfeited all rights by reason of the non-payment of royalties when the same became due.
 The Lucille company alleged a verbal agreement extending the time in which payments of royalties might be made, and the acquiescence in and ratification of such agreement by the petitioning companies by their acts in receiving them during such extended time. They also allege that the officers of the pe- titioning companies stated to third par ties that such agreement had been made. They also allege a conspiracy to hurt their credit and prevent them from raising money necessary to pay the roy altics as they became due They put on the stand nine or ten witnesses who tes- tifed in support of said allegations.
 In rebuttal the petitioning companies put on number of witnesses who denied that the verbal agreement concerning de- ferred payments of royalties was ever made, or that there was any conspiracy to ruin the credit of the Lucile company.
 Jones c. Moore of the Campbell Coal and Coke company, stated that prior to the date on which the royalties were due his company had made an arrangement with Henry Milner and a number of as- sociates. whereby they were to form a new company to operate the mine. and were to have a two-thirds interest, paying $2o 900 for the same, one-third interest remaining in the Campbell Coal and Coke company.
 Tuesday, August Il, has been set on which to hear arguments. and great in- terest is manifested in the ou,come of the matter by lawyers, as several close legal questions are involved.

KIND MEN GLADLY SUCCOR
 TWELVE YEAR OLD TRAMP

Twelve-year-o Henry oakes. tramp from Louisville was picked up on the streets yesterday by Lieutenant of Po- lice Hagoo. He was ragged, dirty and unkempt, his scant clothing being barely sufficient to cover him.
 Late yesterday afternoon he was different looking specimen, owing to tho goodness of heart of many of those who were present in Judge Feagin's court during the day. A collection was started and dimes, quarters and halves rained into a hat for a while, and the boy was given a bath, hair cut and a suit of new clothes.
 Later he was put to work running err rands around the police headquarters, and a suitable home will probably be found for him today. Judge Feagin has received two offers for a place for the boy one from a merchant who promises ~-1-3-&-%-4&-H&

 Judge Feagin said yesterday afternoon:
 You have no idea the change that the clothing made in the boy. When he was brought into court yesterday morning he was one of the most dejeeted looking speeiments of boyhood l ever saw. He looked as if he really did not care whether he were alive or dead With the new suit, the bath and haircut he was entirely different. His face brightened, he took on the air of one who had some hopes of life, and it was really refresh- ing It paid those who had contributed many times over just to watch the boy !"
