OUT ON BOND
J. O. DE INERT EXTRICATED AND
RETURNED TO PA
DUCAH.

J. O. DE Merit, the South Third
street dye man, gave bond at Metrop-
oils. Ill, yesterday afternoon and
was released from jail, returning to
Paducsh with his attorney, Hon. ].
Wheeler Campbell, who went down
after him yesterday morning. DE Merit
is charged with bigamy, a st. Louis
woman claiming that he was married
to her several years ago. He married
q young lady from Evansville last
April at Metropolis.
DE Merit seems to have waived ex-
animation through ignorance of the
law, being told at Metropolis that he
would get q trial quicker that way.
Instead his action sent him to Jail
without chance to prove his inno-
oence until the grand jury meets.
His friends say that he is innocent,
as If he had been married to the St.
Louis woman he would have been
very foolish to come TO Paduoah under
his right name and marry some one
else.

Regular Players Say They viii
Not Return
They Are willing to Play Under
New Management-New Players
Sent For.
THE FUTURE Is UNCERTAIN

Local baseball fans are very much
disguised and disappointed over the
demoralized condition of baseball
matters in Paducah. President Sam
Jackson, Of the association, with an
obstinacy worthy of a better cause,
seems determined to let things drift,
and 1t is understood persistently re-
fuses to sell out to some one who can
manage the team intelligently and
successfully, and maintain discipline
and at the same time harmony, among
the players.
Yesterday afternoon after President
Jackson came back from the ball park
he collected all suits possible TO OBJ.
tain. The players say that President
Jackson simply asked if he could get
the suits and that they gave them up,
and that the report that he told them
he intended getting men who would
play ball, was erroneous.
President jackson denies that Free
mans story is correct, but McKenna,
one OF the Paducah cstchers, was
novrby at the time, he says, ana
states that Freemsn's story is true in
every detail and that Freeman used no
profane language.
Brady claims that he was fined a
dollar, but the management has never
been able to tell him what for. Land
claims that he, too, b as been fined for
things others were permitted to do
with impunity. The boys are up in
arms and say they will play no more
under the present management.
Yesterday afternoon, instead of
being in town trying to induce their
men to go out and play ball, Presi-
dent jackson and Manag er Ray were
out at the park selling tickets TO q
game that they might have known
from the statements of their players,
was not to take place. They might.
by . little tact and diplomacy have
smoothed things over and had the
club still running, instead Of being
hopelessly disorganized. but they
made no effort to. Nearly erybody
down in the city knew about the
trouble between the management and
the players long before time for any
one to go to the park. No effort was
made to settle it. If the fans who
went out hadn't refused to stand for
the attempt to keep their money and
give them rain checks, they would
probably be still madden than they
are.
1t lie known that there are enterpris-
ing, mo nied men in Paducah willing
to take the franchise and give Pa
ducah q winning club but the owners
will not sell.
Manager John Ray was seen this
morning and asked what the manage
ment intended to do.
He stated: II have telegrsphed for
players and expect to get them here
as soon rs possible. Mr.. jackson has
gwen me authority to employ any
PLAYERS possible to GET
Manager Ray stated that President
jackson received word from Secretary
Farnbaker this morning that Land
had been reinstated and that Long
would be given to Paduoah again. 1t
appears that Psducah is the main
support of the league and efforts are
being made to straighten things out.
Land stated this morning that he
would stick to the bunch" and not
play unless they played.

Was Formerly a Well Known
Resident OF Paducah
Father Of Miss Rosa Falls,
the Lawyer and
Author.
HE WAS ~ YEARS OLD

citizens of Paducah will regret to
learn Of the death Of Judge Isaac W.
Falls, formerly resident of Paducah.
at New Orleans Tuesday from acute
stomach trouble. He was 70 years old
and for years was foreman of the Pa
ducah Evening News. He at one time
was also interested with the late
Colonel John O. Noble in the publ
cation of the Paducah Herald, and in
later years published a Populist paper
here, and subsequently . paper ct
Metropolis, Ill.
Judge Falls once occupied the fed
erAl bench in Louisiana in recon-
struction days, as an appointee of
President Grant.
He was born in Gibson county, and
early ia life removed to vsnderburg,
where he lived until he reached his
majority. He came to Paducah and
then to New Orleans, where he was
married to Miss Rose Scott. With the
exception of few years in Psducah,
Ky, he spent his later life at New
orleans.
In President Grants first admins
tration he was appointed to the fed
eral bench in Louisiana and many of
the problems of reconstruction affect
ing local conditions were settled by
him. His republicanism in the face Of
prevailing sectional sentiment was
the source Of many personal en-
coun tiers, and he was veteran OF the
dueling field, bearing to his grave the
marks Of several engagements.
After ne vacated the federal bench
Judge Falls became justice for one
of the districts in New Orleans, being
elected by large majority. He held
the justiceship fourteen years, and
retired only when recorders courts
were established.
He was appointed deputy internal
revenue collector in 1882, and four
years later he returned TO his FORMER
home in Paducah. At the urgent So
icitation of his children he was in
duced to go back to New orleans in
1892. but he retired from the activ-
ities of life.
On account of his journalistic con.
nections Judge Falls was elected an
honorary member of Typographical
Union No. II, OF New Orleans, which
was tine only organization of which
he. was a member. He is survived by
his widow. his sons, william and
Robert, and two daughters, Mrs.
Rose Falls Bres and Mrs. Emma G.
Faecher. Vim. Falls lives at Evans
Vile, Ind.
His eldest daughter. Mrs. Bres
known in Paducah as Miss Rosa Falls
beais the distinction of being the first
woman Admitted to practice law in
Louisiana. She began the study Of the
law because of her intimate judicial
associations, and passed an examina-
ton with high honor. She has prac-
ticed regularly for about 1 5 years. Re-
Gently she was married.
Brief funeral services for the judge
were held at New Orleans Wednesday
afternoon, and interment WAS at
Washington Cemetery in that city,
pending a removal of the remains to
Evansville.
The second marriage of Judge Falls
took place at Brookport. where he
married Mrs Rosa Smith, Q most esti-
mable lady, and an aunt Of M. John
Adkins, of Paducah. the we'll known
shoe man.

The packers strike has not seriously
affeced Paducsh yet. The local branch
houses are not receiving any ship

Company here is three cars short on

at headquarters will be adjusted soon.
The strike comes at good time for
the agencies in cities the size Of Pa

business in hot weather, when cattle
is plentiful and cheap, and killed in
