THE TRUSTEE WON
Knight Hotel is i'm Charge of
Federal Court.
Interesting Contest for Possession
Comes to Close.

A interesting case wss decided by
Judge waletr Evans, Of the federal
court. at Louisville Saturday in con-
nection with the knight hotel proper
ty at Fulton. Several months ago Mr.
Henry Knight, Of Fulton, made an
assignment and Mr.. II. NJ. Chowning
was named AS assignee, and took
charge Of the hotel.
Later Mr.. Knight filed a petition in
bankruptcy. and the creditors elected
Mr.. II. s. Oliver trustee, and he at
once took steps to get possession Of
the hotel ana restaurant.
Mr.. Chowning claimed to be entitled
to possession Of the property as assign
90 under the state court, but the de-
cision of Judge Evans is that federal
court and the trustee appointed by
creditors under the bankrupt law are
entitled to possession. 1t is expected
that the hotel will be disposed of in
some way shortly. Robbins & Thorn.

DID GOOD WORK
Energy and Tact of Firemen
Save Valuable Property.
The Total Loss of the Sowell Mill
Will Be About $1,000.

The fire at the Paducah Veneer and
Lumber company mills IN Mechanics
burg, which broke out Saturday after
noon about 1 o'olo ok, was finally ex-
tinguished Sunday morning after hav.
ing burned over eighteen hours.
This was one of the most stubborn
fires the local firemen ever attempted
TO fight and they deserve great credit
for their work. The water pressure
was deficient and the engine had to be
brought into play to force stronger
stream. With the many drawbacks
the work of the firemen and volun-
teer crews was phenomenal. The fire
at several stages threatened the big
mill but heroic work saved it. The
damage As estimated by the company
caused loss Of about s., 900.
The loss on the lumber is not Gov
cred by insurance but the damage to
buildings ia.

X. l. T. League Closes on Sept.
IS, Wednesday Week.
Meeting OF the League Managers Yes
terday-Exhibition Games
With Cairo.
SOME WANTED TO PLAY 1T OFT.

A meeting Of the executive commit
tee of the K. l. T. league was held at
the Palmer house hers yesterday morn
ing and for five hours the members
wrestled with the question when to
end the season.
Some were in favor of ending it to-
morrow, Sept 8, some wanted to run
it to the limit, while others were in
favor of compromise. The local as
ISOLATION was in favor of either clos
ing tomorrow or going to the end of
the season, but neither proposition
suited q majority Of the others, and
after being in session five hours il was
decided to close the season September
10th, Paducah ending the season at
GAINESVILLE.
Those present at the meeting were:
President W. l. Thompson. Henderson;
Ben Weille, Paduoah; Will Creamy.
Cairo; Grant German, jackson; Jacob
Zimbro, Jr., Henderson W. M. Han
cock. Hopkinsville; o. A. Hummer,
Clarksville.
This leaves . little over Q week
more Of playing 1t has been decided,
however, that Paducah and Cairo will
play . series of seven or nine games
for the championship and q loving
cup the champion to take the gate
receipts Of the last day. The future
Of the other clubs is at present un-
known, but they, also, will doubtless
play a number Of exhibition games be-
fore they dis band.
No steps have been taken looking to
wards reorganization Of the league
for next season.
The league has been reasonably sue
cessful for the first year and is about
the first minor league that ever PLAYED
out the season to this extent the first
year. 1t has also brought out some
fast players, two OF whom were fur
nished by the Psducah club, Hedges,
pitcher, and LeCompte, sbortstop, are
now in both in the Milwaukee Ameri-
can Association.
Bolin, who was with Henderson, 10
now with Little Rock, in the Southern
league, Nickens, formerly pitcher
for New Decatur and Clarksville, is
with Nashville in the Southern league
Brockett, Oairo's twirler, has an offer
from the New York American Associ-
alton team. and other PLAYERS will
probably receive offers.
The general opinion is that the
league. taking everything into consid
GRAFTON, has done remarkably well, and
the interest it has aroused in baseball
in the respective cities will be greatly
increased next season.

BITTEN BY A DOG.
At Nine, and Insane at For ty-Gone
to the Asylum Now.

Joshua Peters, a resident of Al
sea and forty years old was taken
to the asylum by Sheriff Burnett
yesterday. The examination was
beforesCounty Judge Walters yes
terday morning.
The patient has resided with his
mother in Alsea for the past 20
years. The mothers statement is
that up tosthe time he was 9 years
of age, he was an unusually bright
boy. At that time he suffered a
severe bite on the arm from a saw
age deg, and thereafter failed to
develop mentally. In time a. turn
toward stupidity began to be mani
fest, until now a stage Of inbecility
has been reached. The mother
believes the attack Of the dog to
have been responsible for present
conditions. A letter from her read
at the examination, said that she
had been told by physicians that
the dog-bite was the cause Of her
sons troubles.
The malady now manifests itself
in nervous tWitchings and move
ments Of the arms and hands, which
cannot be kept still. At times there
is disposition to violence, and COM
mitment to the asylum is resorted
to, to prevent bodily harm to the
patient or others. DR.. G. H. Lee
was the physician at the examina-
tion.

Twenty four years old, intelli-

the county court room and expres-
sed wish to go to the insane asy-
lum. He is the son of l. A. Brush
who arrived a year and half ago

is so full of pathos, that it ought to
make those in possession of all

derstand that they have riches,
such as all the millions of Morgan

Young Brush was adjudged in
sane, and committed to the asylum.
Accompanied by his father, he was

In the beginning of his life,

struck the back of his head against

ticu1ars there is great strength of
mind, but along with it is fight
