Rev" Grayor Fined in Police
Court by Judge Crice.
Searching Party Went Out, But Could
Not Find Him-Today's
Police Court.
OF INTEREST FROM CITY HALL

Special Judge Tom Crice yesterday
afternoon late assessed a fine of s15
and costs against REV" ". NJ.
Grayor, the colored preacher charged
with using incendiary language on the
streets and melting the ignorant
classes who hear him to commit acts
tending to create trouble. He paid
his fine and costs, amounting to about
s3c, and is still in he city so far Is is
known.
a number Of people who think that
Grayor is hypocite and trouble
breeder went out last night. according
to reports, 10 escort him from the con.
fines Of the city and advise him to re-
main outside hereafter, but he could
not be found. Ii seems there is no
objection to free speech, but some Of
the language used by Grayor is said to
have a tendency to incite race trouble,
and as he has been warned to desist
and hasn't done it, there is q disposi.
tion in some quarters to make him
move on" The police do not be-.
lieve he will take any chances by re-

Marshal Grow thinks a great many
dogs have no legal right TO reside in
Paducah because no license has been
paid on them. He expects shortly to
begin setting warrants against owners
who fail to pay the tax. The COWS
are not giving so much trouble now as
they did short time ago The police
find that certain classes take . great
deal of rope and have to be called
down occasionally. A week or two
ago scores and scores OF cows were
turned out on the streets day and
night, and became so bad that COM
plants fairly flooded the city. The
police began impounding them, and
even when the owner wasn't fined he
had to pay the board bill at the livery
stable, which amounted to enough to
feed the animal for a wees or longer,
ana it became evident that it would be
cheaper to keep the COW up, and a
great many people are doing it now.
A very unusual case OF double
header" theft was reported to Marshal
Grow today, and although no names
could be learned the officers are look
ing into the matter and hope to soon
report developments.
Yesterday afternoon a railroad negro
reported that a fine coat had been
stolen from him He claimed he had

the second hand dealer reported that
the negro had brought the coat TO him,
alleging that il was his property, and
wanted TO sell it. Mr.. Lawrence
lacked 10 cents OF having the correct
change and went out 10 secure it,
leaving part of the money in the
hands of the negro, who took coat,
money and all and made hasty exit.
The officers have good description OF
the negro, but have not found him.
