WANT ONE
Ketchikan Will Ask for
 Deputy Attorney.

The question of the appointment of an assistant district United States at- torney at Ketchikan, is Q matter which Mir. Boyce, the recently appointed dis trict attorney, will no doubt have pre- sented to him, says the Ketchikan Journal. The establishment Of a branch of the district court together with the various matters which con- tinue to conn up in the commissioners court at this place proves the growing need of the presence and assistance of such an officer. The late Robert Freid- rlchs, as district attorney, had the mat ter under consideration and it was stated that he had expressed his inten- tion of referring the matter to the st- torney general at Washington, but his death occurred and prevented further action until succeSssr to Gen. Fried richs could be appointed. Several at- torneys have been mentioned for the place, but nothing definite as to when the question will be decided and an ap- pointment made has been thus far an- uounced.

The Sun is usually too modest to
say much about itself but it has been
booming in circulation and business so
much lately that its enthusiasm over
the growth has overcome it's modesty
to that extent which permits il to tell
its friends just what it is doing. The
Sun is the only local paper that does,
or dares to, make an affidavit, OF it's
circulation and it is recognized as the
most widely circulated of all Paducah
papers.
Not only has The Sun large city
circulation but il goes into the homes,

Mr.. l.. II. Baker, of Louisville, a

this afternoon searching for informa-

a shanty boat man, died at Crowell's
Landing above Smithland and was bu-
ried near that place, A telegram was
sent out searching for relatives and
found its way into the Louisville
Times, the brother saw it and came
at once to Psducah to see il it really
was his brother. The body is buried
ana MIR. Baker stated that he would
probably go TO Smithland and open
the grave to satisfy himself.
The brother was a man AZ years OF
age and other than in age the descrip,
tion of the dead man tallies with that
of the missing brother.

Yesterday afternoon, as far as can
be learned the men became dissatisfied

No conference was secured by the
firm with the strikers today, but 8

The strike has not been caused by
money matters, and the men will b.
given every possible privilege and con
