DIED WITH BOOTS ON
Continued from First page.

Blue, who was brought in this morn
ing, was locked mp aud the bullet ex-
tracted from his leg.
Marshal MoCullom will not be pros
ecuted for killing Bufort, who would
doubtless have killed the officer had
he had a chance.
Officer Henry singery has since he
has been ON the police force arrested
Bufort three times, ono, for breaking
into NJ. O. and St. L. box cars, once
for robbing Curtis Husbands and an
other time for malicious shooting.
lie has often been arrested by other
officers also.
1t is understood by the police here
that Bufort, after being shot at Mon
day by special officers concluded that
it was getting too warm for him here
and caught train for Kuttawa
He blackod his face in order TO dis
guise himself, and went to the saloons
there and played a guitar and French
harp and took mp collection.
What he did with the pistols he
usually carries is mystery, but he
evidently had none.
Blue is being held here. He is
wanted by the police for number of
things, and will be held until he recov-
es.
Bufort's remains will probably reach
the city this Afternoon at $3.50.
Marshal Mooullom rs the man who
assisted in the capture Of Merry and
Smith. the Chicago murderers, a few
years ago at Eddyville, and is known
ss q fearless officer and ono who is
quick at recognizing fugitives.

Il is seen by news item elsewhere
that the city is very much inconven-
fenced by the bad light service. Sew
eral weeks ago the matter OF impr ov-
ing the light system was brought up,
but nothing has yet been done. The
councilmen, the aldermen and others
who owe tho people some explanation
for the needless delay should make it..
II the city can't run the light plant
rig hit why doesn't it let somebody as
sumo control who can?

Chairman Hannah of the street co

Chairman Hannah of the street COM
mittee says in defense of the streets Of
Psducah that they are as good as
those of any other city in the South.
Perhaps they are; if 20, the other
cities arc to be commiserated with.
The streets are not as good as the
people Of Paducah want, however,
and are not as good as they shonld be
considering the amount of money that
has been collected for them and spent
on them, and this is the main point.

Post Office Receipts Will Go Over
the Necessary $4,000.
If the Amount is Even As Large as
Last year, il Will BE Placed
in First Glass.
BUILDING INSPECTOR AT WORK

II is practically assured that the
Paducah postoffice will be placed in
the first class at the end of the pres
emit fiscal year. There are but two
more months of the fiscal year, which
ends April 1.
To place a postoffioe in the first
class it is necessary that the annual
receipts be as much as $40. 900. AL
ready the receipts for the local Office
have amounted to sS4, A74.5l, leaving
s5. 525. 81 yet to be received during
February and March.
Last year the receipts for these two
months were 80, $3.50, which is
greater than needed this year.
As thereceipts every month during
the fiscal year have been larger than
those for the same month last year, it
is safe to presume that there will also
be on increase during this month and
March, although an increase over last
year s receipts for the same months is
not needed. The receipts for January,
the month just closed, were %, 521.61,
an increase over the same month last
year Of ssss. 46.
The advantages Of getting into the
same class as Louisville and all the
other big cities are manifold, as it
gives Al Office many privileges, ens-
bles it to secure increase in force ca
sier, and gives it representation in the
Pcstmssters' association.

NOTHING DOING.
NO CUTOFF BEING SURVEYED.
so FAR AS KNOWN.

II has been reported that the noted
"cut-off" OF the Illinois Central from
Gilbertsville to Mayheld, which
would cut Paducah off the main line
of the Louisville and Memphis divis-
ION, is again being surveyed. Rail
road officials today say that there is
nothing in the report. One official
who would certainly know IL anything
of the kind were contemplated, de.
clares that the road has no surveyors
on the proposed route.

The move TO secure better streets in
Psducah is assuming something like
definite shape. 1t seems the people
are determined to have better thor
oughfayes, one reason being that
enough money is spcnt every year to
offer the public some Permsnens~d-
vantages. As to the method Of secur-
ing the desired results. that is some
thing for the proper authorities to de-
termine. All the people want is bet
er streets, especially where they are
needed most. We hope to see an early
awakening such as there has been in
the matter of streets in every other
public improvement in Paduoah. II
would help the city and benefit the
people. 1t would encourage the off,
oials to take more pride in the city
and stimulate the people themselves
to feel a pleasure in i'm proving the
looks of their residences and yards.

MYSTERIOUS woMAN-A young
woman claiming to be from Maytield,
and carrying a six months old child
apparently in bad health, aroused
some little interest in Metropolis Tues
day. She was making inquiry for a
man named Lehman. aud said he twas
to meet her there. She attempted to
get one lady to keep the child while
she searched for the man, but the lady,
suspeoting that she intended to aban-
don it, refused. She was supposed o
leave for st. Louis, and handkerchief
she forgot had " Florence" on it, which
is the only clue she left to her identi-
ty.

DEFENDING THE BRICK STREET.


Mayor d. A. Yeiser this morning
took the trouble at meeting at the
city hall Of the committee appointed
to consider permanent street improve
ments, to state in regard to the brick
street, that he didn't think there was
any graft" in it. That there may
have been mistakes made but no
graft Captain ]. r. Smith, one of
the heaviest taxpayers in the city, in
answer to the mayor, in our opinion,
expressed the sentiments Of majority
of the taxpayers. He declared that he
did not desire to reflect on anyone, but
that whether there was any graft or
not the brick street was not built in
manner satisfactory to the taxpayers,
and that there was gross incompetent
cy somewhere. He said il Mayor Yei-
ser desired to shoulder the responsible
ity for the brick street. which was not
built under his administration, but
under the Lang administration he had
no objection to it, but that the brick
street was not satisfactory to the peo-
pie.
And Captain Smith is doubtless
right. II is not known who is to
blame for the street, but it is either
the Democratic administration that
had 1t built or the men who built it.
Il may be as Councilman Harmon
said. That it was the first effort of
the council to do anything of the kind,
and il did the best it could. In other
words the taxpayers have had to suffer
from the inoompetency Of their public
officials. Perhaps they should have
expected nothing better, but at any
rate this does not alter the fact that
the people didn't get their moneys
worth.
The Sun has probably had a great
deal to say about the brick street, and
it is refreshing to find Mayor Yeiser
defending an improvement built by
his predecessor, Mayor Lang, and for
which the city refused to pay until
sued and compelled to pay, and which
is such an excellent piece of work that
the city has never received any of the
street, and has never under its contract
been able or disposed to compel the
contractor to make repairs that are
deemed necessary. II this street was
built right, and the people have RE-
ceived their moneys worth and been
protected, why didn't the same men
who let the contract for the work re-
ceive it and pay for it after 1t was fin
ished? And why has it been deemed
necessary for the city to make repairs
and charge them to the contractor
And further than this, why did not the
council, which had five or six expert
enced contractors in it when the con-
tract was made for the street, see that
the public was properly protected, and
would get the workmanship and ma
terial paid for, and that the city would
be able to compel the contractors to
live up to their part of the contract
relative to keeping the work in re-
pair? If they did amply protect the
public. and the taxpayers received
what they were entitled to, why did
MT the council receive and pay for it
Why should Mayor Yeiser presume
to defend the work at all? 1t wasn't
built under him, and he is seeking to
justify job in which the Taxpayers,
