Marshal Grow Not Satisfied With
Arrangements Relative to Chief.
He Thinks He Is Entitled to Manage
the Police Forces, and Will
Seek to Do So.
WAS GIVING SATISFACTION

1t appears that row is imminent
among the city hall officials. Mar
shall James Grow has decided, judg-
ing from what he said this morning,
to enjoin Officer James Collins from
assuming the duties of police chief.
He has consulted attorneys, and
has been advised that he can do it.
That he was elected by the people for
four years, and to be shorn of his
authority In discharging the duties
for which he was elected, is as unlaw-
full as depriving him of his compensa.

a fair and square fight Mayor Lang
informed the council before the cleo
ton that the city would probably go
into the second class soon, and if the
council desired to abolish the Office of
city marshal, it should do so then, be-
fore it was filled for another four
years. after which election il would
be impossible. The council did not see
fit to abolish it, and was elected by
about 1900 votes.

tion a large number of people, and

been any dissatisfaction over the way

one without authority would undoubt.
eddy try to place a mans business in
charge of some one else, and cannot
submit to it,"
Marshal Crow intimated that he
would file an injunction suit before
the date of Chief Collins assuming
charge, next Friday. 1t appears he
is not satisfied to col lect the fees and
have charge of the police court, leav-
ing the police force in charge of Chief
Collins.
Chief Collins has announced that all
he intends to do is to manage the po-
lice, leaving the police court, service
of all papers and orders, and the col
lection of fees, to Marshal Grow. The
hight, when it gets into the courts,
will doubtless be lively one.

Gen. Murray Cannot Get Paducah in
at Present.
Is In Favor of Organizing an Artil-
lery Company After the State
Guard Encampment.
BOYS WILL BE DISAPPOINTED

Paducah will not have company OF
infantry but may have an artillery
company after the state encampment.
A letter from Mr.. Harry Tandy of
Frankfort to Mr.. Joe Sipnott of the
city, who is interested in the organi-
zation of the company, states that Ad-
jutant General Murray does not think
that he can secure for Paducah an in
fantry company at present, but wants
to make it artillery. The letter reads
that it will be impossible to do any
thing in the matter until after the
state encampment is held, which will
be August IS. After that date Gen
eral Murray will visit Paducah and
in person will interview the promoters
Of the project. Paducah will have a
company of some kind, but General
Murray favors artillery.
The local boys were counting very
greatly on attending the state en-
campment, and will be disappointed
to learn that the company will not be
organized until after the encampment
has been held.
A meeting was to have been held
this evening at s O'Clock of the young
men who have enrolled their names
for the formation of Paducsh's mill
tary company, to effect preliminary
organization. The roll had been prop
erly made out, Endorsed by County
Judge Lightfoot and forwarded to
Frankfort.
DIR. J. V. voris, il he can get bat
terry of field guns, will organize the
artillery corps. Considerable interest
is being manifested, and it is expected
to make it one of the best in the state,
if Psducah succeeds in getting it.

Prisoners Had Dug Away Part of the
Lookup Walls When Detected.
Had a Pair of Curling Irons With
Which TO Do Their Work
for Liberty.
WE'RE GIVEN AWAY BY WOMAN

But for the timely warning Of
Lille Bulger, a white prisoner in the
lookup seven or more prisoners would
probably have been out today, while
there would have been nothing to
show for their presence save large
hole in the thick brick walls of the
new vault, pair of curling irons and
a piece of iron.
One Of tho prisoners. who was in
fatuated with the woman, wrote her a
note and threw it into her cell. say
ing, Honey, will. be out tonight
and kiss You good bye"
She gave it to Captain Bailey, and
the investigation followed. II was
found that hole had been cut into
the vault walls, and quite a quantity
Of bricks removed, leaving only one
layer between them and liberty. The
new vault is being built into the lock
up and runs through the "gentlmen' s
quarters. The wall inside the cells,
however, is solid, and the door, which
opens into the corridor, is never lock
ed, and when once inside the vault, il
would have been an easy matter for
the prisoners to gain the corridors and
then leave through the side door or up
the steps through the city hall.
A pair of curling irons and a piece
of iron resembling water works key
were found in the cells, indicating
that the work was done with them. II
seems from all that could be found
out that Will rubbs, the man fined
500 for shooting pistol near Sew
enth and CLARK streets some time ago,
and Tom Crowell, who is being held
for abducting a girl from Tennessee
and stealing a skiff, did most Of the
work.
There are about seven prisoners in
the side where the hole was cut, and
all could easily have escaped after
the aperture was completed, the inten-
tion doubtless being to finish the job
last night and get away. They have
been placed where they cannot dig
out.

Boyce Futhey Run Over This Morning
by a Transfer Wagon and Killed
The Huge Vehicle Passed Entirely
Over His Chest-He Lived
But an Hour.
WAS UNAVOIDABLE

Boyce Futhey, the IL year old son
Of Mrs. Cornelius Myers, who resides
on Court street between Fourth and
Fifth, was run over and fatally injur.
cd this morning shortly after II
O'Clock on Broadway between Third
and Fourth streets, in front OF Soule's
drug store. He lived until 1916.
The little fellow was employed at
Ben Billings printing establishment
on lower Broadway, and was riding
his wheel up the street when he en-
countered an ice wagon standing in
front Of the drug store. He attempt
ed to dodge il, and in so doing the tire
OF his bicycle slipped on the wet street
and threw him directly under the
wheels Of transfer wagon which was
coming from an opposite direction.
He fell between the fore and hind
wheel, and although several Mortified
spectators who saw the accident shout
ed to the driver, the latter did not
know they were shouting to him, and
the ponderous vehicle had passed en-
tirely over the little fellows chest be-
fore he looked back and saw what had
happened.
The victim was taken into Soule's
drug store, and Doctors Hoyer and
Robertson were soon in attendance.
He was conscious, but seemed to suffer
great deal, and the doctors did not
think he had much chance, for he was
badly crushed, and ais internal in
juries seemed such as to render recov.
cry impossible.
lie was taken home by the doctors,
who did all they could for him. His
end was quite pathetic. His last words
were to his weeping mother.
Don't worry mamma" he said,
"fll soon be well again and take care
OF you"
The accident seems, from the state
ments Of eye witnesses, to have been
unavoidable. The transfer wagon,
which belongs 10 the Paducah transfer
company and was driven by John
Jones, colored, better known as "Baby
john" was going very slowly, and
the driver did not see the boy when he
fell beneath the wheels, and conse-
auently did not stop. The wagons are
very heavy, even when empty, but
this one was loaded with empty whis-
key cases, and the wonder is that the
boy was not killed instantly.
Besides his mother, he leaves q
father, A. b. Futhey, now Of Mans.
field. Tenn, and two sisters and one
brother. He was an unusually we'll
liked boy. and his work down town
made him known to quite a number of
parsons, with all Of whom he was pop
ulaY.

He Presided With His Customary
Dignity Today.
He Announces That Boys Will Be
Fined for Bathing in the
River in Daytime.
THE PROCEEDINGS OF TODAY

Judge d. L. Sanders Of the police
court, greeted his many friends with
more than his usual cordiality this
morning because he is just back from
two weeks sojourn at Echo Springs,
Livingston county, where he recuper-
ted among his old friends there.
He was lenient with all his guests,
too. Seven small boys were ranged
before his desk charged with going in
swimming in daytime and with using
very profane language at all times.
He gave them to understand that boys
shall not go in bathing in daytime in
side the city limits, and hereafter all
will be fined. They must, 60 in at
night, II at all, and then somewhere
else than at the wharf One asked IL
they could go in with their clothes on.
and the court said that they could. but
they had better not, because their
clothing were likely to become heavy
and drown them.
Louis White, a colored boy employ
ed to clean out at J.. T. Blackburn's
saloon, at Twelfth and Madison
streets, was charged with stealing 35
cents from the cash drawer. Just be-
fore the money was missed he reported
that he saw man coming from be-
hind the counter half an hour before.
There was no evidence against him
and he was dismissed.
Tom Dennis, half witted man,
charged with breaking into trunk
and stealing dime, was arrested yes
terday and the case against him was
continued. Judge Sanders said that
the prisoner ought to be sent back to
the asylum, where he came from, or
to the reform school. His father is
prosecuting him.
i A case against Henry Henderson, a
tough looking customer who goes
barefooted. was left open. He was
caught with skiff full of junk, and
cannot account for where he got it.
He has given half dozen or more
different names, and when his wife
called to see him yesterday she gave
still another one. 1t is not known
where he is from, but it is thought
he stole the skiff, as well as the junk.
Jim johnson, Jim Black burn and
Charles johnson, tramps. were fined
81 and costs for plain DRINKS.
will Dunn was fined 81 and costs
for being drunk and disorderly.
Emma Beach, colored, was charged
with shooting inside the city limits,
