Miss Lulu Scott Caught Here by Po-
lice and Returned to Cairo.
She Ran Away From Home, and Her
Chum Was to Follow Today
and Join Her.
RELATIVES TOOK CHARGE

Lieutenant T. j. Moore received o
message from Cairo last night over
the long distance telephone asking
that he intercept Miss Lulu SCOTT,
who would arrive here on the J. B.
Richardson, and hold her until her
brother arrived to take charge of her.
The officer went to the boat as soon
as he received the message, and found
that she had retired. Il seems she had
half expected officers to be waiting
for her, snd..not seeing them when the
boat arrived retired.
She was taken in charge and her
stepfsther, q gentleman named Webb,
and brother, Walter Scott, arrived on
the first train from Cairo thtis morn
ing and TOOK charge of her.
II seems she and q girl friend deoid-
ed to come to.Psducah, the latter to
follow in q day or two. She hired .
rig and drove Miss Scott from Cairo
to Mound City, ILL.,, yesterday and
reached the latter placre just as the
Richardson landed yesterday after.
noon. Miss Scott came on to Paduosh
and the other girl drove the horse back
to Cairo, intending to follow today.
Relatives were close on the trail,
however. and took the first train for
Paducah, after telephoning in advance.
On the boat the young lady gave the
name Of Alice Meathers, and said she
lived In Jasper, Ind, and had rur
away from home. She is very pretty
and attractive, and the Intervention
of officers was doubtless very fortunate
for her
She was taken back to Cairo his
morning on the Richardson. 1t seems
the young ladies simply wanted to
leave home and shift for themselves.
The one caught here does not reside
in Jasper, Ind, but in Csiro.

Engine No. 1872 walked" out of
the round house of the local |. @.
shops this morning and into the turn
table pit
The engine had been prepared for the
days work and steam was raised for
the engineer to take the engine out to
work. When the hostlers left it all
was apparently right with her but sud-
emily she started up and walked"
out Of the round house into the pit.
An examination showed that her
throttle was fouled, something that
has been known to occur but very sell
dom. 1t required some time to get
the machine onto the track again and
there was little damage done.
Chief Clerk Row, of the local mas
ter mechanics office, said this morn
ing that in Nation, Ill, a switch
engine did this three times, Once
when It was in the round house il
started up suddenly and walked"
through the round house wall The
second time and after repairs had
been made, 1t started up and got out
onto the main line. A freight tram
ran into it and ditched it. Once more
the maohinists repaired the engine
and pronounced it sound but it start

Criminal Assault.
Arrested and Locked Up without
Bail Pending Hearing of the
Case Tomorrow.
NOTES FROM THE POLICE COURT

Ethel Weatherington, sometimes
called Ed, an employe at Dreyfus
and Wells was arrested this morn
ing on . charge of criminal assault
preferred by Gladys Mcclure, q 10
year old girl, daughter of Miss Math-
Ida Mcclure, who resides OF 1915
Clay street.
This morning before O'Clock Lieu
tenant Moore received Q telephone
message to come or send an officer
to the above number, the case being
briefly explained. Officers Rogers and
Dugsn were detailed to 20 to the
house and investigate and, If it ap-
peared there was sufficient grounds,
to make the arrest.
They telephoned back aftor seeing
the girl and her mother that there
were, and were instructed to arrest
young Weatherington, who lives at
Twelfth and Madison. When they
reached his home they were informed
that he had gone to work, and start
cd after him. They met him at
Fourth and Broadway. He had ap-
parently been notified by telephone,
and left his place of business with
the intention of making his escape.
The girl and her mother appeared
at the city hall shortly afterwards
and the girl stated that she and the
young man attended the circus last
night, and that when they started
home he took her towards the GENE
terry instead Of in the right direc-
ton.
She soon discovered that she was
lost, and did not know which way to
go. She rejected improper proposals,
she claims, but finally her escort push
ed her into a fence corner and forced
her to submit
Returning home, so the mother stat
ed, the girl wept all night, was very
restless, but nothing could be CLEANED
from her. This morning she ate no
breakfast and finally her mother in
sisted on knowing what caused her
unusual conduct, and the girl broke
down and confessed.
Young Weatherington was locked up
and the case, when called in Judge
Sanders court this morning, was con-
tinued until tomorrow. The case not
being bailable, the young man was
committed to Jail. He will not talk,
and offers no explanation or denial.
He has been employed at Dreyfus
and Wells for two years and stands
very high with his employers, and has
many friends who hope he will estsb-
lish his innocence of the charge.
The girl and her mother appear to
be poor but respectable people.
Other cases in police court this
morning were;
The case against against Tillman
Rowlett and others, colored, for gam
ing was cslled and Rowiett was fined
SEQ and costs, the others being contin-
ued.
W. A. Bennett and James Msttock,
charged with being drunk, were fined
81 and costs.
Elliott Gaines end Oscar Baker, for
being disorderly, were fined $40 and

Knocked Down by street Car,
which Ran Over His Heel.

son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Hohen-
stein, who was knocked down yester
day afternoon at the corner of Park
avenue and Barnard streets. by a troll
ley car, is not as seriously injured as
at first reported. His injuries are
slight, and it is probable that he will
be out again in a short while.
puncture over the left eye, and
the fracture of a bone in the heel of
his right foot are the only injuries
sustained by the boy. Young Hohen-
stein and a playmate were playing
near the car line, throwing sand at
each other. The former was walking
backwards as he threw the sand, and
walked into the car. From the nature
and position of the wound on the fore
head, it is thought that the little fell
low heard the car after it was already
upon him, and was struck as he
turned to look at it.
He was thrown violently to the
ground, the car running over his heel.
The force of the fall caused a number
of smaller injuries. DR.. Graham, who
is attending the boy, said last night
that he was in no danger. The escape
from further or fatal injuries is con-
Sidered marvellous

TRIED TO HORSE-WHIP HIM.
Hickman Ran Into a Bar TO Escape
Womnn's Fury


A sensation was created at the cor
ner of Congress and Whitaker streets
last night at o'clock, when a man
was seen to run hurriedly into George
Schwarz's bar, woman with a horse
whip in hand in hot pursuit The man
was a hackman, and the trouble was
over hack fare.
The woman, who had run the man
some distance up the street, STONED
at the door of the bar when the man
entered. She proceeded then to make
known her desire and intentions in no
uncertain terms, calling the man all
manner of names and daring him on
the outside, saying that she would
thrash the life out of him. A large
crowd congregated, and it was some
little time before the disturbance could
be quelled
It seems that the hackman had. sew
eral days age, driven the woman and
a friend about the city for several
hours, for which service. he said. the
woman rendered him 25 cents. and re-
fused to pay him more. The hackman
went straightaway to a justice, and put
a bill for 80 In his hands for collection.
The bill was paid and it was thought
that the AFFAIR was closed
