CRAZY KOONTz.
HE WRITES THE POLICE Tho 7
HE MUST HAVE HIS PISTOL.

Franklin b. Koontz, a mulatto who
has been n the penitentiary time or
two, once sent mp from Paduoah and
always carries with him a quantity Of
blank checks which he fills out for
fabulous amounts to make an impress.
sion on strange negroes, has written
Chief OF Police Collins that he want $
a 32.calibre pistol belonging to him
which the officers have, and that if IL
isn't sent to i'm he will take the case
Immediately to the supreme court at
Frankfort, and also lay the matter be-
fore Governor Beckham. Koontzclaims
to be deputy sheriff, at Memphis a
present, but is evidently only crazy.
He always has lot of cheek but was
never convicted of forgery because the
names he signs to them are all ficti-
tious. He was run out of Paducah a
short time ago and now writes back
for his pistol. The officers will let him
take his case to the supreme court at
Frankfort.

SPECIAL ELECTION
Ordinance to be Drafted by Sole.
itOr WOrten.
A Test Case to be Made if Bonds Are
Issued.

City Solicitor J. NJ. worten hal
agreed to draw up an ordinance pro
viding for a special election to be held
soon m order to settle the question Of
issuing bonds with which to build q
charity hospital.
The McUracken County Medical SO.
ciety recently agreed to recommend
such an ordinance and Solicitor Wor-
ten agreed to prepare the ordinance,
which will probably be finished by
Monday night, when it is intended
that it be placed before the council for
action.
1--WE have decided to make test
case Of this and when the council and
board OF aldermen pass the ordinance
ordering the election, which we have
been assured will be done," a promin.
ent physician said this morning, "the
city will go ahead with the election
aud someone will be secured to enjoin
the city from issuing the bonds, il the
people vote for the charity hospital.
This will take the matter to the court
of appeals. and we feel that we will
probably be sustained in our conten-
tions that we can legally hold spe-
cial election for issuing such bonds.
The constitution remains silent ON the
subject and the case has been decided
in other cities both ways"

a White Man.

There was a serious cutting sorape
at Joppa, ILL.,, yesterday afternoon
about O'CLOCK, the result of a quar-
rel over the opening Of stove door in
a saloon.
There was a crowd Of loungers in
the saloon, among them being Walter
Harvey, colored. Oscar Shirk and Joe
Leech, white. Shirk opened stow
door which the negro had closed. and
the negro arose from his seat and with
defiant expression on his face closed
IL again. Shirk opened the door again
and Harvey threatened to kill the next
man who reopened IL. Shirk in de.
fisnce repeated his act and the negro
struck him in the face. Shirk re-
turned the blow and knocked the ne.
gro down, and o. he arose Joe Leeoh
interfered and stabbed and negro in
tse lungs. The knife penetrated the
lung and made . serious and probably
fatal wound. Leech was taken before
magistrate and released on the plea
of defending Shirk's life. The negro
was in a very serious condition at last
reports and little hope is given out for
his recovery.

Many men who have made q
success of commercial business
seems not to understand that min-
ing is not as simple as it seems,
thinking that it requires neither
scientific technical knowledge, mol
years OF experience to insure sue
cess. 1t is true that there are
numerous instances where bust
ness men have successfully con-
ductsd mining enterprises who
had no previous knowledge or ex-
perience in mining, but in almost
every Ease the mine has been rich
and would have paid with any sort
OF management, and therefore nc
particular credit is due to the sue
cess of the inexperienced manage
ment. There is an aphorism
among miners.
Good mines make good miners"
and this is true in most cases.
Where a poor, low-grade mine is
carefully handled at the lowest
possible expense, by a careful and
experienced man, and still fails to
pay, the unfortun ate super gets
few thanks and small credit for
his effort.

New School Law

There has been considerable dis
cussion of late as to the duties i'm
posed upon School Trustees under
the law enacted by the last Leg
is1atufe, and the NEvADAN hereto
subjoins the lew in full, believing
it very plain oil the subject;

by amended SO as to read as fol-
lows:
Section "a. 1t shall be the duty
of the Trustees, a majority of whom
shall constitute a quorum for tue
transaction of business, to meet as
soon as practicable after taking
the oath of Office, at such place rs

district, and to organize by ap-
pointing one of their number Clerk
of the Board, who shall preside at
the official meetings of the Trust
ees, and record their proceedings
in a book to be provided for the
purpose; and all such proceedings,
when SO recorded, shall be signed
by said Clerk. Said book shall at all
times be subjected to the inspec-
ton of any taxpayer in the district;
and said Clerk shall full

session of the Board to be pub
