A new TRIAL
Hardee BeasIey Will be Tried Next
Time at Jackson.
He Will be Released on Bail at Tip
tonville, Tenn.

Hardee Beasley of Fulton, accord.
ing to reports which reached the city
this morning from Fulton, has been
granted new trial for killing Dick
Dsrnell at Tiptonville, Tenn, some
time ago, and has also secured a
change Of venue to jackson, Tenn.
and is out on bond. He was tried
last week at Tiptonville and given
five years. The verdict was q great
surprise, as the young man from
Fulton had been made to leave Tip
tonville by Darnell on account of a
misund over telephone
conversation with his wife, and had
returned to rent some property when
they met in drug store and Oar
nell was killed. He had threatened
to kill Beasley. and the killing was
generally regarded as justifiable.
It is claimed that the verdict result
ed from feeling in favor of Darnell,
who had killed several men, if rumors
are correct, and had the whole COM
munity bluffed. If Darnell didn't
want man to live in Tiptonville the
man had to move, or his friends would
do it on each side of him later on,
was a popular belief, and everybody
was afraid OF him.
1t is thought that BeAsley will now
secure q prompt acquittal, having se-
cured a change of venue to place
outside of the Darnell stronghold.

MYSTERIOUS CASE.
FULTON PEOPLE EXCITED OVER
THE FINDING OF BLOOD.

Fulton has been aroused to a great
state of excitement over the finding Of
blood that cannot be accounted for.
This morning early wstchman
Frank Walker. whose beat is on the
street occupied by the new Meadow
hotel, found several large pools of blood
on the Off oe floor and after hasty
examination found the blood to have
been spattered all about and trailed up
stairs on the steps. The building is
new and is not occupied. To the cer-
tain knowledge of Watchman Walker
there has been no one about the build
ing and last night everything was in
the best of condition. The people can
N OF account for the blood and think
that some one has been murdered
there. The blood was fresh and APP
parently had not been spilled long.

sas sending in an order for car Of
stuff this week said, ut was very
hard for us to determine who should
have this order but we finally decid-
ed to give it to you believing that
you would give us the best value
for the price and also the quickest
delivery" This certainly speaks
well for the quality of Psducah goods
and Paducah promptness in ship
ment
Retail trade has opened up fine,
all merchants reporting good business
the past week. The millinery open
ings and the Rhodes -Burford opening
attracted big crowds of shoppers.
The opening of the free rural de-
livery routes this week should prove
= good thing for the local retailers,
and the hustling merchants should
build up a good mail order business.

And the Other Case Will Also Prob
bly, be Dismissed.
Paducah Auditors Agent Seems to
be Up Against It in His
Big Suits.
UNION DEPOT SUIT DISMISSED

The state board Of valuation and
assessment at Frankfort has Just
heard three motions iiled by Revenue
Agent Frank A. Lucas Of Paducah
against the Illinois Central Railroad
company, and dismissed two of them
and took the other under considera-
tion. The two which were dismissed
were for the assessment, for fran
chise tax purposes, of the Cairo Bridge
company and Of the Paducah Union
Depot company. The board decided
that these companies had been includ-
ed in the franchise assessment Of the
Illinois Central company.
The third and most important mo-
tion was to compel the Chicago, st.
Louis and New Orleans Railroad
company, which owns all of the lines
in Kentucky which are operated by
the Illinois Central company, to pay
a franchise tax as lessor to the nli-
nois Central company for nine years
back, amounting to many thousand
dollars. Mr.. Lucas position in the
matter is that the c., st. L. and N.
o. company exercises the right of
property holder in the state the same
as does the operator of its lines of
road. The matter will be heard by
the board after notice to the com
psny.
The O., st. L. and n. o. company is
but part of the Illinois Central COM
pany. Under its charter granted by
the state of Illinois the Illinois Central
company cannot own any lines outside
of that state, and il operates in Ken
tucky through the O., st. L. and N.
o. company, which is owned by the
same stockholders. II is not thought
that the state board will sustain Mr..
Lucas motion.
Mr.. Lucas is losing most of his suits
it seems, and only recently lost one
in the county court here against the
Ayer-Lord Tie company in which an
effort was made to force it to pay taxes
here on boats already assessed in Chi
cago.

the work.
Most of the hawks passed on over
and were going south. Mr.. Davis de-
clares that he never saw hawks flying
that way before, and that he DIDN'T
know there were that many OF them
in the whole world.
The most wonderful part of the sto-
ry, however, is that Immediately af-
ter the hawks had passed millions of
butterflies came by in their wake, fill
ing the air until the sky was darken-
cd, thousands of them falling on the
farm.
Mr.. Davis is well known aud
truthful man, and was in the city
today exhibiting bis shoulder and arm,
blackened by his excessive shooting at
the hawks.

Gets a Violent Shock.
He Held to the Stay Wire and Com
pleted the Circuit, Being Rescued
by Oolored Helper.
HIS INJURIES NOT SERIOUS

James Lowe OF Campbell street, =
lineman in the employ of the Paduoah
street railway company, narrowly es-
capped a horrible death by electricity
about 11:40 this morning.
Lowe had climbed upon a street car
at Eleventh and Caldwell streets to
repair a broken brace wire and had
overlooked taking the proper precau-
tion Of letting go the stay wire while
he caught hold OF the trolley wire. He
had the stay wire, which was trailing
on the ground, in one hand and caught
the trolley wire with the other hand
He was instantly doubled up and cried
out in pain. "Bonwire" Williams, a
colored helper, jerked him away and
he fell 10 the ground below, sustaining
severe bruises. lie was slightly burn
ed on the right hand but the injuries
are not serious. But for the timely
action Of the colored helper Lowe
would PROBABLY have been shocked to
death.
DIR. Frank Boyd, the company ply
sioian, was called and after an exam.
instion of loves injuries found them
not serious. Ho was taken TO the
Gilbert snd Ripley drug store and lat
or to his home on Campbell street.

LEROY WAS RECOGNIZED

Pat Moore, colored, who had been
in Jail for the past week or two for
false swearing, this morning was
brought into police court and told
Judge Sanders that he had done wrong
and was sorry for it, and VIZ nted to
correct his statements. Pat was a wit

tween two negroes at a North Side sa-
loon, and it developed that the trou.
BILE was over crap game. Pat swore
he didn't remember who was there
playing so he was put in Jail to ripen.
He ripened this morning, and told the
whole thing. In fact he fairly bubbled
over with information, and the names
he gave of gamesters will either de-
populate the oolored quarters or glad
ly swell the chain gang. The false
swearing warrant was dismissed and
Pat was released and about q bushel
of warrants was issued for crap shoot
ers.
o. f. Mcdonald is the name Of an
intelligent Englishmen with sorrel
whiskers who was arrested last night
by Officer Tclbert in a box car. He
appears to be quite young man, and
is very intelligent. He said his only
permanent residence in America was
at Buffalo, where he is longshore-
man, or one who helps load and un.
load vessels. The principal difference
between ongshoreman and q rousta-
bout is that one goes with the vessel
and other remains on shore. McDon-
aid had to get into tine car out of the
rain, and the court dismissed the case.
He seems to have a pretty good idea
Of the law and said that If the court
had not dismissed the case he should
have demanded the presence Of the
nearest English consul, which every
Englishman has a right to do. He
said that Americans away from home
do not appear to know their rights,
but that every Englishman does and
that he will demand the consul in
nine times out of ten when arrested,
and has right to his appearance in
court. He said under the constitution
no one can be arrested except on war
rant, unless the officer sees the COM
of the offense. He was too
slick, so he was allowed to leave town
after declining to tell why he was so
far from the coast.
The case against George Leroy, the
young pal or hanger charged with
stealing a diamond ring from Mr.. Pc
ter Burnett's, was called and Leroy
was held to answer. While the evil
ience against MIN is sufficient to hold,
1t was deemed too weak to justify his
being required to give bond so he was
released on his own recognizsnce.
The case against Hattie Moore, the
coke fiend, was not disposed of, as the
officers do not know what to do with
her unless it is to turn her loose and
lot her dissipste herself to death. She

Blanks are being prepared for monthly

butter made, the average tests of but
ter fat, andssthe average yield of but
ter. Prices paid for milk and cream
will be given, with amounts sold and

MOORE ARRAIGNED
Hearing Postponed Until Grand
Jury Convenes.
The Case Will Not be Dropped, Even
if Moore Settles With the
Bank.

John |. Moore was arranged before
Judge Shissler this afternoon on the
charge of forgery in the first degree.
He had No attorney, but asked that he
be permitted to waive an examination.
County Attorney Wilson objected to
this, son the ground that grave
offense.. was charged and the state was
entitled to have a preliminary hear
ing.
The hearing was set for Feb. 9th at
10 a. m. 1t is out of the jurisdiction
of the municipal court to fix bail
The date fixed for the hearing is two
days after the grand jury convenes,
&c it is altogether probable that "a
hearing will be unnecessary. Should no
indictment be returned the case will
be dismissed, and should one be re-
turned ssthere will be mo need of a
hearing.
County Attorney Wilson secured re-
QUESTION papers from Gov. Van SAINT
and Deputy Atchison took them to
Springfield, Ill, and got them honored
by the governor of that state before
making the arrest. In order to Sc
cure the PAGERS, Mr.. Wilson was re-
quired to take oath that the prosecu-
tion was not for the purpose OF enforc-
ing the collection of an obligation.
For this reason, if for no other, he
will not consent that the prosecution
be dropped in the event that Moore
effects a settlement with the bank.
He will also require the witnesses to
tell what they know, SO that the mat
ter cannot be allowed to drop through
the silence of witnesses.
President Hoerr of the National Citi-
zens' bank does not place much con-
fdence in Moore's account of the mat
ter. His visit to st. Paul yesterday
was not on matters connected with
this case.

THE MCKINLEY MEMORIAL FUND.

The Free Press desires to again call
the attention of the people to the Nc
Kinley memorial fund for the purpose
of erecting OF national mon ument to-
the late William Mckinley. The state
committee for Minnesota las sent out
a large number Of letters to people
through the state, and we presume
that many in Mankato and Blue Earth
county have received copies of them,
and the committee would be pleased
to have a prompt response to the
same, in order that the quota for our
state may be raised and the matter
closed up. Surely we ought not to for
get our dead president SO quickly and
the great work he did in behalf of the
nation. He devoted the best years of
his life to his country's interests and
dropped martyr to its cause at the
hands of an assassin. A monument to
his memory is most graceful act by
his countrymen and the work of Sc
curing funds therefor surely ought to
be allowed to lag. Next We'd
nesday, JAN. goth is the anniversary
of his birth. Let there be a deter
mined effort on the part of all that on
that day, so far as Minnesota is con-
cerned, the fund shall be raised and
closed. Money for this purpose will
be received the Free Press, or you can
forward whatever you desire to give
to Chas S. Cairns, Minneapolis, treas
urer of the Minnesota committee.
