PADUCAH WANTS A
MATCH WITH CAIRO
CHALLENGE PUBLISHED IN THE
BULLETIN MAY BE ACCEPTED
BY JACK MizEE, REPRESENT.
ING PADUcAH.

A few days ago a challenge was
published in The Bulletin from Sid.
ney Swift, lightweight boxer, who
desired to arrange a match with
some local pugilist at 1873 pounds.
Concerning this challenge the Pa.
ducah News-Demoerat says:
Paducah and Cairo will probably
contend for pugilistic "honors" in the
twenty-four foot ring. Paducah won
out in baseball. Cairo made monkeys
out of us in foot balling.
It's true that the girls from the Pa.
1ucah high school had easy sailing in
their game with Cairos high school,
The Paducah-Cairo sporting lads
may get together and match Sidney,
who is better known as Dummy, and
some Paducah boxer.
Jack Mice may represent Paducah.
Mice fights under the name OF ''Mys.
ferrous Kid" lie is a Paducah boy;
having been born and reared in "Jer-
5ey" He IS now working at mine
at Sparta. III. Jack is a husky Lad
and has fought several times in Pa.
ducah. Mice and Swift fought a
draw at Paris. Tenn, in 1893, and as
the challenge of Swift tells of the
ending of their last fight 1t is stin
undecided who is the better man.
Swift is a Southern boy, but has
resided in Egypt long enough TO rep
resent that end of struggle. Mice
is anxious 20 return TO Paducah to
enter the ring. before his fellow
townsmen. He has fought a draw with
Adamson and Jack O'Keefe and won
several fights since he, left Paducah
Jack Bolin of Psducah, has won from
both men, a decision over Mice in
ten rounds. while Swift was knocked
out in seven rounds. Both men have
improved since then.

FAMILY MURDERED AND HOME
BURNED In SOUTH CAROLINA

BE- the Associated Press.
Edgefeld, s. C.. Dec. ga most
henious crime occurred at Trenton
last night, and if the generally ac-
cepted theory be true the victims
were murdered before the house was
fired. Al O'Clock this morning the
residence of B. B. hughes was discov'
cred on fire. Neighbors rushed to the
scene but the fire had progressed so
far that entrance was impossible. AS
soon as the fire died down searchers
found the charred and almost unre-
cegnizable bodies Of the entire family,
consisting of Hughes, his wife, EN
and two young daughters. Emma,
aged 10, and Hattie. aged "a.
Hughes body lay just below where
had been situated the door leading

lea hole through his head. A pistol
with one empty chamber lay nearby
Part of his charred clothing were on
his person. showing he was dressed al
the time he met death. The body of
his wife was on the bed, while those
of the daughters were similarly stu.
ated. The skulls Of these three were
crushed as if hit by an ak or some
blunt instrument. There was moth
ing to indicate a struggle, showing
they had been killed in sleep.
1t was said that three tracks we're
discovered leading from a field to the
rear of the house. Bloodhounds were
put on the trail, but ayailed nothing.
One theory is the house was enter
ed for the purpose of robbery.

suit to contest the right of attorneys
TO collect alleged extortionate fees was be-
gun in Circuit Court yesterday by Mrs
Mary A. Krug. Some time ago Mrs. Krug
secured judgment against the Frank Bird
Transfer Company and the indianapolis

is claimed that her attorneys for her at the
time. John j. Stalker and Wilbur Wilson,
are now trying to collect extortionate fees
to show the time and expense they had gone
&c in securing their training for their pro-
fession and the many sacrifices and priva-
tions they had undergone. Ii was brought
out in the testimony that Stalker at one
time in order to earn funds to carry him
through college had served as a coachman
in New York city. A number of prominent
attorneys in the city were also introduced
by the defense to testify as to the value
of the services rendered by the attorneys
for the plaintiff.
