The factory in which the fire occurred this
forenoon is within stones throw of the
Western engine house, but the men there
were sent on a wild-goose chase by misunder-
standing of directions at the telephone ex-
change. The operator there gave the word
that the FIRE was in the STANDARD Mauufac-
turing Company's" shop on West Columbia
street. Ut is on Center between Columbia
and North streets) That was new one to
the boys, who didn't know it by that name,
and asked for more definite directions; if the
conHagration premises were west of Factory
street. The reply was, "les! yesl yes!' and
westward they went, right away from the
fire, and might have been running yet but for
a well-informed postal-carrier. Momen's are
precious at such times and often decide the
fate of valuable premises. Therefore people
giving directions in such cases should keep
cool aud be sure they are right.

Going tn &c. His Man

Mr. John T. Norris has now in his posses
sion the necessary papers by which a requisi-
ton will be made on the governor OF ken-
lucky for the delivery of one of is citzcns to
answer 10 the State of Ohio Tor the murder of
one of her citizens. S9me six years sgo this
wanted gentleman from The blue g:ass regions
committed a horrible mn-der in enc OF the
Northwest counties Of Ohio, but escaped a. the
time, going in'o Texas and New NJ. xico. The
deed was done to wreak vengeance on
the murdered man for betraying sew
eral of the well-nnown Under
wood gang Of Kentucky outlaws, in which
two of the notorious gang were killed and
others captured. The murderer swore ven-
geance, snd executed it by seeking out his
victim, going to bis door and deliberately
fired bo;h barrels of a heavily loaded shotgun
into the mans head, literally tearing it TO
pieces.
Years have passed away, and the murderer
has returned to 'bloody Brethitt' in Ken
tucky, and while several attempts have been
made to arrest him, he has defied the officials,
and often, with the cold argument of his pis-
tol, dared them 10 take him. He is now
skulking among the hills 10 one of the back
counties of Kentucky, and John T. Norris
will start tomorrow morning to bring him in.
He has special contract with the commits
sioners OF the county in which the murder
was committed, and is TO receive 81 900 if he
gets his man, or, in case Of failure, expenses
are TO be paid for thirty days.
