M'QUEEN HURT
 IN RUNAWAY
Circuit Solicitor Gets Ugly Cut on Forehead When Thrown from
 Buggy.

A runaway accident early yesterday aft ernoon caused John Mcqueen, circuit so- licitor, to sustain painful injuries. MT. Mcqueen was driving up South Eigh- teenth street to town when his horse be- came frightened and broke into run. The horse dashed over the Eighteenth street crossing and continued straight on until Third avenue was reached
 At this corner the animal swung around suddenly, turning the buggy up on one wheel and precipitating MT. Mcqueen to the ground. The force of the fall stunned him, and he was unable to arise for sev- eral minutes. He was taken into a store where he was treated by a physician. He received an ugly gash on the forehead, while his left arm was badly bruised He recovered sufficiently within a few min utes to walk.
 The horse and buggy belonged to a livery stable, and the animal continued running until it reached the stable on Seventeenth street.
 Several ambulances were summoned, it being thought that MT. Mcqueen was hurt much worse than he really was. The affair created quite an amount of ex- citement and a large crowd gathered.

NEGRO IS STILL
 DEFIANT IN MINE
MORE FOOD WAS STRUGGLED TO HIM YESTERDAY - OFFICERS WILL NOW KEEP EYE ON THE OPENING.

Deputy Sheriffs Wilson and Chew re- turned from Adamsville yesterday, but they did not bring with them the negro they went after The two deputies went to Porter mines, few miles from Adams vile, to try to capture negro who-shot and dangerously wounded another negro last Saturday flight, and who is now bar ricaded in the old Porter mines, armed with a shotgun and still defiant.
 The two deputies spent the whole of Tuesday night walking through the Por- ter mines, but never as much as a sight did they get of the negro for whom they were searching. It is believed however, that the negro is still in the mines but that he is lodging the deputies with hope of escaping.
 It is known that more food was slipped into the mines yesterday to the negro, who is imprisoned there from his own choice, and there is no telling just how long the negro can hold out.
 Hope has been given up of capturing the negro down in the mines inasmuch as it is believed that he knows the lay of the slope and rooms so thoroughly that he can effectively dodge the officers. Sheriff Higdon called in his deputies yes- terday and instructed them to leave one at the outlet of the mine to catch the ne- gro when he attempts to come out It is believed that the only hope of catching the defiant negro who threatens to shoot any officer upon whom he lays eyes is to starve or smoke him out of the mines, and the latter scheme is hardly prac- ticable.

two plans mentioned 1t should utilize the jail property and build a courthouse IS stories high fronting at least ITO feet on Twenty-first street.
 Such a building should be erected for all time to come. 1t should have a foundation which would stand any num- Der of additional stories, because the county cannot afford to put up anything temporary, but should look 40 or 50 years ahead.
 ''In the arrangement of a skyscraper courthouse the plan of having the jail on the top floor or floors is undoubtedly the best and most modern. On the next floor under the jail there should be the sherin's department and a few offices then the criminal court rooms, and the other court rooms under the criminal court. The court room closest to the ground should be at least four or five stories up In order to be out of the way of noise.
 "And whatever the county builds it should devote one entire foorAto use as a public auditorium. Birmingham is con- stantly inviting and entertaining conven- tions and the Hippodrome is the only available place that will accommodate 1200 or 1500 people. There is no assurance that the Hippodrome will be in existence even next year as 1t is a cheap building and may be torn down any time. So an entire floor of a new courthouse should be used as an auditorium to accommo- date something like 1900 or 150O people
 "The county offices could be arranged very conveniently on the lower floors of a skyscraper building and Jefferson coun- tvs courthouse problem would be defi- nitely settled for once and for all"
