A PECULIAR FREAK.

Mr.. J. p. Purge, a farmer of the
Msxon Mills section, yesterday
brought two headed chicken to the

Mr.. Purge says 1t is the only chick

veloped heads and would not sell the
freak for any amount of money. Both
heads were we'll formed and the eyes,
beaks and every feature was perfectly
formed.

H. W. Rottgering Takes out War
rants Against Contractors.
He Claims They Have Trespassed on
His Dairy Property-Cases Set
For Wednesday.
FURTHER TROUBLE Is FEARED

The trouble between the contractors
ON the Cairo extension of the Illinois
Central and the property owners
through whose property right of way
has been secured by condemnation
proceedings became more complicated
this morning when Mr.. II. W. Rott-
gering, the dairyman Of Rowlsndtown,
swore out warrants before Acting
County Judge Jesse Young against
several of the railroad men for tres
pass.
Saturday the men started to work
on the right of way through Mr. Kott-
gering's property and were ordered
off. Having no time to secure attor-
ney's advice, they left, but this morn
ing, having in the meantime been ad-
vised that they could not be kept off
the land, they went to work cutting
timber and preparing the tracks when
Mr.. Rottgering came to the city and
swore out the warrants.
Sheriff Potter went out and arrest
ed them. Their names are: J. +.
Kenney, X. H. Hartlin, f. Eminsor,
Frank Gibson, Harlo Hays, Joe
York and Charles Foster. They
were taken before Justice Young at
IL 80 O'Clock, and asked for q con-
FINANCE. Attorneys Wheeler and
Hughes, the railroad attorneys,
claimed that the property alleged to
have been encrosohed on is no longer
Mr.. Rottgering's, but belongs to the
railroad company, having been con-
demned, and that tine men. cannot
therefore be guilty of trespass.
County Attorney Graves wanted a
trial of the case today, but the rail
road men asked q continuance,
which was finally granted until
Wednesday morning.
The prisoners were all released, the
attorneys being recognized for their
appearance Wednesday. They will
resume work, and Mr.. RottgerinR
says he will secure warrants every
time they do, and have them rear
rested as often rs they enter the
land.
1t appears that the principal reason
the efforts are being made to stop the
work is to force the railroad company
to pay for the land the excessive prices
awarded by the country juries that
tried the cases. It seems to be the
idea that the company will be forced
to submit to the extortion in order tc
proceed with the work.
II is said that in one instance NAL
was awarded more money for cor
ner of his property crossed by tn,
road than he originally paid for hi
entire farm.
When the suits to condemn tn,
property were fied, as prescribed By
law, the court heard the evidence, th,
property was condemned in due form
and the only appeals taken were OF
the amounts paid, and where to pay
it.
The railroad company commended
that as it intended to appeal from the
amount of damages and the prices PAID
for the property, the money should be
paid into the county court, and not tc
the property owners, from whom il
might be impossible to recover should
the award be reduced by the higher
court.
The property owners ccntended that
they could not be deprived of their
land without compensation, and want
ed the money paid to them instead Of

A Calvert City Man Killed by Jump
ing From Train.
His Companion Is Now Raving
Msniac-They Boarded a Freight
Here Against Orders,
MISS NIoKLEs IS IMPROVING

|
Hughes is a rsying lunstio, the re.
suit of an attempt to jump from an
Illinois Central freight train at Cal
vert City Saturday night near mid
night. while under the influence Of
drink.
Both men are farmers, and lived
near Calvert City. They had been to
Paducsh, and it is claimed had been
drinking through the day. About 8
O'Clock Saturday night they appeared
at the depot and asked for train to
Calvert City. They were informed
that there would be no train through
for many hours, except q freight, and
that they would not be carried
through on that. as no regular stops
were made at stations, and that rules
forbid the carrying Of passengers.
They both had whiskey about their
persons, and continued drinking. 1t is
said that one, Dodge, had jug strung
about his waist. Nothing further
was thought Of the incident until word
reached here shortly after midnight
that they had been fatally hurt.
The train they boarded was the sec
ond section of freight No. ia, in
charge of Engineer Mcclure and Con-
ductor Welsh, and was composed of
only about ten freight and coal cars.
A short stop was made at the pas
senger depot TO enable this engineer
ami conductor TO register out, and the
train left the city about $40 O'Clock.
II il supposed that the men boarded
the coal cars at the depot, and the
crew knew nothing about their pres
ence on the train until after the des-
perate jump had been made. Both
men alizhted on the hard gravel,
and Dodge lived q few hours only
after the jump Hughes has been
crazy ever since, is violent and has TO
be held to pre- vent him Injuring
himself and others. Dodge was a
married man and leaves a family,
while his companion is single
The ]. @. road is very considerate Of
its patrons, and adopts every means
possible to add to their comfort.
A bulletin to the engineers on the
Louisville and Memphis divisions, and
in fact over the entire line, has been
posted in regard to the application Of
brakes in making a stop at stations.
The engineers have been applying air
and stopping the trains without re-
leasing the brakes until the train has
stopped. This throws the trucks back
and sometimes jerks the cars very
hard, throwing passengers who are
ready to get of to the floor Of the
coaches. All enginemen have been
instructed to release the brakes in
order to let the trucks right them
selves before the train comes to .
stop. and thereby save the passengers
shocks and probable bruises from
being thrown against seats.
