CORONER UPSET
 BY HU MAN BONES
FINDS THAT REGULAR TRAFFIC IN THEM IS CONDUCTED AT SOME CITY.

Coroner B. L. Brasher is greatly per- plexed with a discovery which would in- dicate that human skeletons are being sold mingham as old bones If clews can be picked up and followed out to a solution of the mystery 1t is not improbable that q sensation, or several of them, may de- velop.
 A short time ago a man reported to the coroner that there were quite a number of human bones to be found in a great heap of bones in junk yard situated on Tenth avenue and Thirteenth street north. The coroner went to the junk yard yesterday morning to investigate the mat ter and the report was verified when he found the bones of human arms and legs He collected the pieces of the skeleton and has removed them to his office for future reference in the investigation which he proposes to make.
 The coroner states that he was informed yesterday by the keeper of the junk yard that during the past three months he might have collected "a four barrel full of human bones' at the one junk yard and it Is stated by the coroner that they bring the same price per pound as horse and COW bones, or any other kind, for that matter"
 Coroner Brasher was informed yesterday that the bones which he now has in his possession were carried to the boneyard from the city's dumping ground on Ave nue F, down below the Decatur Car Wheel Works, among great lot of other bones. It is understood that the negro who has charge of burying the dead animals at the dumping ground Is granted the privi- lege of digging up the bones six months after burial and that he sells them for whatever price he can get.
 The coroner Is of the opinion that the finding of the bones at the junk yard Is an indication of foul play, believing that mur- dered persons have been thrown in the trenches along beside dead animals and buried unceremoniously. Coroner Brasher stated last night that he would urge the city and health authorities to cooperate with him In an Investigation which he n- tends to make as thorough as possible.

 Maffett Parker, the 11-year-old son of ". II. Parker, and Neil Laphan, the 12-year-old son of Earl Laphan, were killed by a bolt of lightning in the vi- cinity of the Dimmick Pipe Works at North Birmingham yesterday after noon.
 It is understood that sh ortly after the noon hour the two boys left home and went out on Village creek, either to fish or to go in swimming, taking with them a little fox terrier dog, the pet of the little Parker boy. Before the boys had time to return nome a storm came up and the little fellows are supposed to have just reached the wooded territory back of the Dlmmiclx pipe plant when a heavy rain came Up.
 It is thought that the boys took ref uge under large oak tree, under which their bodies were found, and that while they were standing there a bolt of lightning hit the tree and killed them and the little dog. The tragic accident must have occurred early in the afternoon inasmuch as the bodies were found between and 5 o'clock. The boys had not been missed, but workmen passing along the path through the woods after the storm found the bodies.
 The stroke of lightning split the huge oak tree all along down one slde The body of one of the boys was found lying directly beside the tree and the other had been knocked some distance away by the force of the stroke. The body of the dog was found lyIng be- tween the remains of the two boys. The corpses were quite badly burned by the electricity and are therefore greatly disfgured.
 The news of the tragic occurrence spread rapidly over North Birmingham yesterday afternoon and shortly be- fore 5 o'clock Coroner Brasher was mo- tifed of the finding of the bodies. He ordered that they be removed to the undertaking establishment of I. L. Mac key at North Birmingham and 1t Is understood that he will investigate the case this morning.
 Maffett Parker, as stated, is the son of MT. and Mrs. w. H. Parker, who re- side at 2221 Thirty-second avenue, North Birmingham. Neil Laphan was the son of MT. and Mrs. Earl Lap han, who reside at 2212 Thirty-firs avenue. The boys were almost constant playmates. Their parents are highly esteemed at North Birmingham.
 Although definite arrangements have not been made it Is understood that the body of the Parker child wtll be sent to Texas for interment. The re- mains of the Laphan boy will be in- tered here.

JURY IS STILL
 BADLY DIVIDED
JUDGE LANE STATES THAT MIS- TRIAL WILL RESULT IN CLA- BAUGH SUIT UNLESS VERDICT IS RETURNED TODAY.

Indications are that the jury In the clabaugh-VanHoos case is hopelessly divided and 1t Is generally believed about the courthouse that the present hearing of the famous suit for damages will re- suit in a mistrial. MT. Clabaugh, as is generally known. Is suing MT. yanHoose as president of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association for $l30.000 damages, alleging that he was forced out of the wholesale grocery business by the asso- ciation, which the plaintiff alleges Is a trust or combine fixing and maintaining prices in restraint of trade. The state of Alabama has no law under which suit could have been filed against the association hence MT. VanHoose, who was president of the association at the time the suit was instituted, was made the defendant in the case.
 It is understood that the jury still stands 10 to 1 in favor of granting MT Clabaugh damages. The eleventh jury man, 1t is understood, is unwilling to return a verdict against MT. VanHoose personally, 1t being supposed that he has based his decision on MT. Weatherly's argument that the association will not stand good for whatever amount of dam ages MT. clabaugh may recover, which. 1t was argued, would result In MT. Van Hoose suffering personally, leaving the association unaffected.
 It is understood that if the jury does not reach some agreement by tonight a mistriai will be declared in the case It was expected that the jury would ap- ply to Judge Lane yesterday morning for certain instructions However, no such application was made, but on the other hand the eleven men remained penned up throughout the day in the old grand Jury room.
