BOARD OF WORKS
WILL RUSH THINGS
Expect to Reconstruct Broadway In
Forty Days If Favorable
Weather.
MARKET PLANS READY SEPT. 1

The Board of Public Works, accord
ing to one of the members, expects to
have the street reconstructed on Broad

weather, after il is begun. II is ex-
pected 20 have the storm water sewer
age started about September LIST and
completed as rapidly as possible.
The new market house they expect to
get bids on September LIST. The changes
in plans and other preliminaries neces-
sary before bids can be considered are
expected to take up the intervening
time.
As to the new city hospital, the
board has nothing to say. The general
council has taken the matter out of
the boards bands and the member in
question said they were all glad of it.
There is a question as to whether
this improvement should. under the law,
be made under the direction of the
Board of Works, but as in the Terrell
Street contract, we are willing TO waive
all authority and let the general council
arrange for the hospital improvements
to suit itself"
There is no buster man in Paducah

ton, who has all sorts of surveys, pro
files, plans and such things under way,
to say nothing of the tedious work of
getting ready Contractor Terrell's esti-
mates for the improvements recently
completed.
The Board of Works promises to
hustle things up and get the improve
ments started off as soon as possible.
The market house can be built in
three months, IL is said, and the part
necessary TO do in good weather can be
completed in few weeks, leaving the
other work not to be affected by what
ever inclement weather there may be.

SUSPECT THOUGHT
TO BIZ ROY GREEN

It developed today that the negro ar
rested in the Illinois Central yards here
yesterday as a suspect, is believed to be
Roy Green, the Greensboro murderer
for whom the state had offered $500 re-
ward.
The negro says has name is Porter
Williams, and he lives in Earring
ton, Ky, but he answers the descrip-
tion given of Green TO dot.
These descriptions have been sent
out to the police departments of every
city in this vacinity, and was received
here several days ago, by chief Collins.
The police are not certain they have the
right man, of course, but hope so, and
this evening officers from Owensboro are
expected here to look at the prisoner
and, if possible, identify him.
Green is mulatto, and is accused of
70, and then driven long splinter from
most henious crime. Sunday nearly
two weeks ago, he is alleged to have
murdered white man named Coombs
at the deserted fair grounds at Owensbo-
the plank with which he killed him,
through his neck into the ground, and
nailed the other end to the side of the
stable. The victims breast was bruised
and multilated in such way as TO in
dictate il had been jumped on. The mo-
tive of the crime is unknown, unless
it was robbery.
Green played a piano in low resorts,
and was seen with the dead man be-
fore the killing, and mas not been seen
since. He has been reported caught in
several places, one negro now being in
Jail over at Murphysboro, ILL.,, wounded
while trying to escape from the police,
who is thought TO be Green, and still an

A QUARANTINE is
NOT UNLIKELY HERE
twenty-five Head of Cattle Inspect
ed and Were In Good
Condition.
OFFICERS SILENT.

Milk and Meat Inspector, C. G. Warn
er, thinks the fedaral authorities will
order a quarantine on McCraeken
county, until all arrangements for the
proper handling of southern cattle have
been completed and the danger of a
spread of Texas fever done away with.
1t will be remembered that some ticky
cattle were found by DIR. Warner sever
al weeks ago, DIR. Warner making the
inspection under order of the state
veterinary officer, and the matter was
taken up by the state officer with Judge
Lightfoot, and later referred to the fed
eral authorities, who have so far failed
to act.

morning, that if a quarantine is de-
clared against McCracken county, it will
be fore a few days only, as it will be
raised when the butchers have met with
all requirements of the state veterinary
officer. New stalls separate and apart
from the northern cattle stalls will have
to be built and every arrangement made
for keeping the cattle shipped here from
below the quarantine line apart from
other cattle. Southern cattle is immune
from Texas fever, having what we call
chronic case of Texas fever, but the
northern cattle catch il and die.
Southern cattle are shipped here with
the understanding that they will be

DIR. Warner stated that a division

southern from the northen cattle, and
that no special danger of a spread of
Texas fever exists, but if it did, it would
play havoc with the cattle, and it is
the possible danger that it is resired to
