A COAL FAMINE IN TOWN.
Of Course The Gas Had to Give
Out.

Old Boreas, whoever he is, got very az
fectionate and has been holding this
country in an icy embrace for the past
week
He entwined his frigid arms about
this region last Thursday and despite
everything still holds on.
The old rascal has had it in for the
Oldest inhabitant and he paralyzed that
aged individual and played hob when he
put the temperature on a toboggan slide
and saw it go like creased tightening
down to 16 degrees below zero.
The old boy was not satisfied with this
record however and although Thursday
was the coolest in twenty years he estab.
lished a new record Monday morning
when he made the temperature go down
to umpty-seven in smother fellows
thermometer.
How cold was it?
Bless you, gentle reader, we don't
know!
1t was anywhere from 100 miles below
Cairo to SO below zero Monday morning
according to the thermometer at Sui
zsr's.
Here's some of the records though and
you can pay your money and take your
choice.
At DR.. FrYmire's, Creston 10; Union
Star, %; Lodiburg, So; Bewleyville, % !;
Glendeane, 40; Fordsville, 40; Irvington
20; Clifton Mills, "a; Stephensport, 20;
Hardinsburg, %; at Matthias Miller's
near Kirk, SO.
The reason for the tropical weather at
Hardinsburg is that that town still feels
the effect Of her sizzling hot Methodist
revival.
Here in Clovsrport people are suffer-
ing from froz IN gas pipes which have cut
off the supply of natural gas. A coal
famine has also been ON and the man
who has stock Of fuel on hands is as
much envied as if he wore diamonds.
When Mayor Barry receives a car of
coal he has to meet a mad mob of men
who clamor for fuel and he has to beat
them on the heads with hickory club
to compel them to await their turn. Take
this last statement with a grain of salt
please.
Most all the families are living in one
room and many OF them are following
the example Of the grounding and are
laid up for the winter.
A great many of the cooks have de-
serted their employers and this makes
the burden fall heavily upon the house
wives.
There appears TO be but little suffering
among the poor and where restitution
appears, kind-hearted neighbors relieve
it.
People having an extra supply of coal
appear glad to share il with their less
fortunate neighbors.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS
People Hurt in Various Ways all Over
The County.

Zero wea ther was responsible for an
accident on the L., H., q St. L. railroad
Friday morning.
Passenger train No. 46, from st, Louis,
struck broken rail at the Addison tres
tie and was thrown from the track.
The engine remained on the rails, the
tender overturned, and the baggage car,
day coach and two Pullman sleepers ran
off onto the river bank without breaking
a coupling and only smashing ole win
dow in Pullman sleeper.
The passengers were severely shaken
up, but an occupant of berth in Pull
man car slept undisturbed through it all
andwoke up few hours after the wreck,
hungry and cross over the delay.
About 6 O'Clock in the morning, Sam
Dick, of the firm of Addison & Dick, at
Addison, came to the front door of the
store and looked at the thermometer.
It registered Is below zero.
He heard the noise of the approaching
train and waited to see it pass.
Suddenly he heard crnsh, saw the
telegraph wires yibTate and fall and he
at once realized the train had met with
a mishap. He hurried to the scene and
saw Conductor Halves emerge from the
derailed train and learned from him that
no one was seriously hurt.
Halves ran to the baggage coach to
see if its occupants were all right and
found that Mr.. Munson was in one of the
rear coaches where he had gone to wash
up.
The baggage car had caught fire from
the stove aud he appealed to Mr.. Dick
for assistance. The latter summoned
four Of his employees and with all the
buckets they could find at the store they
worked like Trojans and put out the
flames before any damage could be done.
Mr.. Richard E Cochran, Vice Presi-
dent of United States Life Insurance
Company, was passenger on the wreck
ed Texas train al Addison last Friday, and
was unceremonecusly dumped out Of the
sleeper. He was unhurt and took the
affair good naturally. His company has
avery large business in this county, and
number of policy holders near the scene
of the wreck. Mr.. Cochran said no was
always glad to be "thrown" among his
old policy holders, out preferred to have
more time in which to prepare his toilet.
The accident was one that no amount
of human preCaution could prevent. It
was caused by the contraction of the
rails by the extraordinary cold weather.
That it resulted 30 fortunately was due
to engineer Zlrkle's caution and good
judgement.
The officials of the road did all in their
power to make the passengers comforta-
BILE and all are loud in their praise Of
their courtesy and kindness. The dam
age to the cars was comparatively slight
and can be easily repaired.
Sam Dick and his brother Daniel rem
dered very valuable services and they
cannot be too highly complimented for
their heroic efforts to put out the fire
and relieve distress.

BEwLEYvILLE, Feb. 14-Mr. Anslem
Clarkson who died 80 suddenly last

death he attended our class meeting and
his talk was one of true Christian exper-
fence showing that religion was happy

hands with the other members and
seemed to be- DESTROYS that we all should

In Ills Trunk.

Frank Fraize, Of this city, was not the
only victim OF the sixteen year old boy
forger who visited this city few days
ago.
In the expressive language Of the
small boy, "there are Others"
Walter Morris, the youthful forger
comes OF good family. His parents re-
side about three miles from Patesyille
On Thursday, two weeks ago, he de-
termined that he could make a living
easier by being crack.o jack, "Jim the
Penmau" than he could by being an hon
est farmers boy.
So he packed his grip and hied him
self to Cloverport. 10 his valise, besides
a pair of sox and celluloid collar he
placed two check books, one belonging
to the Hancock Deposit Bank, OF Hawes-
vile, and the other to a Bowling Green
Bank.
He landed all right at Cloverport and
Immediately wrote out ten or twelve
checks, calling for $50 each and signed
Capt. S. j. Bakers name to them.
He succeeded in getting F. Fraize to
cash one and started for Fordsville.
AS the story goes he managed to get a
check for $50 cashed in that good old
town Friday morning and on the after
noon OF the same day he appeared at
Greensboro and got the cashier of the
Eagle Bank there to cash check for $50.
Walter then went to Sturgs, where
he engaged board for the purpose OF 60
ing to school. While at the latter town,
however, his conscience troubled him
and he wrote to bis father that he was
coming home. He started back and got
ss far as Lewisport where he was appre-
hended by the Hancock county officials.
Detective Hicks Willis, of this city,
went to Hawesviile Saturday and tried
to obtain custody Of the boy but the
officials refused to give him up as he is
to be tired there.
1t is said that Walters trunk was
found to contain a quantity OF green
goods literature and it is also alleged
that he swindled a large number Of peo-
pie by writing them letters asking them
TO send 20 cents and see what they would
receive in return. The return letter
never came.
He will have hard road to travel in
the future.
