dav this morning brought in verdict
in favor of the complainant. The Queen

many witnesses were examined. After

Mrs. HIsaon Use. Pistol.

Mrs. Il. Il. f1lguon, WIG Oh tlle onef-
if of Jefferson County. demonstrated
this morning that she knows how to
protect her home when male members
of the family are away.
She fired four times at burglar
who was robbing the coal house. and
the burglar was so disconnected that
he ran away before gathering up his
shoes. Mrs. Higdon is of the opinion
that the man removed his shoes with
O view of trying to get into the house.
1T is not known whether or not any
of the bullets took effect. Owing to
the distance of the coal house from
the second story window. from which
Mrs. Higdon fired, 1t was impossible
for her to see whether the man was
white or black. The darkness also pre-
vented her from getting good aim at
the burglar.
owing to the street car trouble Sher-
if Higdon has been spending most OF
the nights in Birmingham. He was
not at home last night nor was Lee
Higdon. Jr., deputy in the Sherins
office. at home. Both were at the
court house. The only persons In the
Figdon home were Mrs. Higdon, Miss
Ida Coleman, a sister-in-iaw OF the
Sheriff, and Percy Higdon, 16-year-
old son of Colonel Higdon.
For some time past the family has
missed coal from the house and. the
members became convinced that
burglar was getting IN his work. This
morning at 8 o'clock Mrs. Higdon was
awakened by q noise coming from the
direction of the coal house. She jump.
ed out of bed. secured a revolver and
went TO the window. She could hear
the burglar at work. The next mo-
ment she fred and in the darkness
she could see the burglar making
retreat.
:. when an investigation was made this
morning the shoes were found and IL
is believed that the early morning
marauder intended to try to get In the
house. Mrs. Higdon has the reputa-
ton of being a good shot. and dark
ness is about the only thing that
aved the thief.

Judge Weaver. and when court was
resumed this morning he dismissed the
second petition on the ground that 1t
was probably wrongfuily issued. and
held that the issue was between the
mother and the Mercy Home.
An attorney for the Home suggested
that 1t was a matter for the chancery
court to settle. He quoted from Sec
ton 1886 of the Code of Alabama,
and said that the law is very plain. IN
cases OF separation, as to what court
shall have Jurisdiction. 1t was argued
that there would be interminable con-
fusion IL the criminal court took juris-
diction. The attorney said that IL the
writ was granted Mrs. Magpess. the
other side would appeal, ard vice
versa
The attorney for Mr.. White arEned
at length on the ground that The had
perfect right to file application for
writ and asked that the application
of Mrs. Ma gness also be dismissed In
asmuch as his writ had been dismissed.
No action was taken on this motion
and the end came when Judge Weaver
fixed June FL as the day for hearing
testimony. The suit against Messrs.
White, Anderson and Stout is for the
shooting of Mrs. Magness on the day
the men went to her house to get pos
session of the children. 1t Is averred
In the petition that they went to the
