JAS. WARE HELD
FOR NEXT COURT.


Cumberland Glassworks, was placed
under bail for the Grand Jury, at a
hearing before Justice w. H. Carton
Monday afternoon: charged with as
sault with intent to shoot VIM. H..
Argo last Friday night.
This is the text; but the story is
that Ware has been making himself too
familiar with Mrs. Susie Argo, the
oomely wife of Mr.. Argo.
Mr.. Argo has been working in
Philadelphia and, on coming home a
few days ago, he found note in his
wite's pocket book requesting her to
be on certain street in North Bridge
ton last Friday night.
Mr.. Argo said nothing but calcu.
lated rapidly and concluded that he
would himself be in the vicinity indi-
Gated in the note, and await develop
ments.
He went, and in due time he saw
his wife and a young man coming up
the road, which is rather secluded
one, arm in arm.
Argo was hiding behind bush and
when the couple got within about ten
feet of him he stepped in front of
them and made some remarks.
Ware whipped out revolver and
told Argo to throw up his hands and
come no nearer. Argo did not throw
up his hands but invited the young
man to shoot. Mrs. Argo, however,
cried out. Don't shoot. don't shoot, .
and there was no bloodshed.
Mr.. Argo left them and hastened to
the office OF Justice Carton and had a
warrant issued and placed in tine hands
Of Constable Robt. Bath for the arrest
of Ware, and he was arrested and held
for hearing.
The hearing took place yesterday
afternoon, and the above facts, with
others, developed. The young man
pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Mr.. Argo was sworn and testified as
related above, and added that the re-
volver he had was his revolver.
Mrs. Argo was called to the stand
and corroborated her husband IS testi-
mony, though very reluctantly. She
said the revolver Ware had was her
husbands revolver which she had
given to Ware, because her husband
had threatened her life with it.
The note which was found in her
pocket book she said she had written
herself.
Mr.. Johnson, neighbor to the
Argos, swore that she had seen Ware
visit Mrs. Argos house six or eight
times in the evening. while Mr.. Argo
was working in Philadelphia.
Justice Carton placed Ware under
$4,000 bail for the Grand Jury.
There has been another charge made
against the couple before Justice
Samuel M. Hall, of another character.
Justice Carton, by the way, has the
largest Justices hall in the city. It
is an upstairs room and will seat SC
people comfortably.

MICKY FINN HERE
MANAGER OF NASHVILLE TEAM
LOOKING FOR KITTY
PLAYERS.
Wants Bohannon, McClain and Dug
gan, But Perhaps Only for the
Rest of the Season.

Micky Finn. manager of the Nash
vile Southern league team, is in Pa
ducah looking over the Vlncennes
and Paducah teams with a view OF
securing several players.
Today Johnny Duggan will work
for Vincennes to give the Southern
league manager an opportunity to
see what stuff" is in him Duggan
has been widely advertised by the
Vincennes papers as the best pitcher
in the league, but Perdue seems to
have made a better showing since he
has been with the Hoosier team.
Finn wants to see Mccain and
Bohannan work. Yesterday McClain
batted III, getting three hits ont of
four times up. one a triple and two
singles. Bohannan also made an ex-
cellent showing and il is thought
that the Nashville manager will take
the three, Duggan, Bhoannan and
McClain.
Finn was here during the spring
working out the Toledo. o.. team of
which he was manager, but he left
the American Association and went
to the Southern league later in the
season.
He can either buy the players, or
employ them, If his offer is satisfac-
tory TO them, for the remainder of
the season, wiihou buying them. IL
he does the latter they will revert
to the Paducah club next season. 1t
is not likely that he will buy any
players this late in the season.

flder from the Cairo Pity league
team, has been secured by Ryan TO
take right field. and will tramp that
garden in both games Sunday. II
he makes a proper showing in the
last Of the home series. he will be
taken ON the trip. Longs departure
does not mean a release. but the cir
cumstances are such that he can not
remain longer with the team. He
will be retained on the roll. and may
be held in reserve, although thai is

1t is not divulged how the sport
ing guides at the close of the pres
ent baseball season will record the
Kitty pennant races. Padueah won
the pennant for the greater part of
the season by a wide margin, and
the fans would like to see the fact
recorded. While IL may have been
satisfactory TO the respective man
agements to put up the pennant hon
ors and play for them like stakes in
a crap game, when Paducah was sad
ly crippled, it is not satisfactory 30
the fans, and this is one reason a
mere handful went out to see the
last games on the local diamond.
Yincennes had a good club all the
season, but there was never a time
the Hoosiers could have won any
thing from the Indians with the lat
ters original lineup.
Manager Harry Lloyd does not
think that the sporting guides will
record the pennant for the first part
of the season, when 60 or more
games were won by Paducah, for
any other club. And 1t would not be
fair to Manager Lloyd and the MEM
bers of the Paducah team to have II
so for they worked hard this season,
and deserve the honors they won.

SATURDAYS I3-Inning Game.

The Indians let down in the thir-
teenth inning and gave the game to
vincennes Saturday afternoon by a
score of 2 to o. but the game was
pretty and witnessed by large
crowd of fans.
Brahic was in the box for the In
dams and Perdue for the Hoosiers
and it was a pitchers battle from the
start, and men were retired in one
two, three order inning after in
ming. The ground on the intelG got
dark in the thirteenth inning and
made II difficult for the inhel1 hits
to be fielded which is in measure
responsible for the errors which gave
the Hooslers the game.
In the thirteenth inning Matteson
lined out to Marie and perdue gain
ed first through a tumble of Bo-
hannah. French made first on a
tumble of Marie and Donovan's hit
to right scored one run, Land letting
the throw by securing the second.
After this the Alicemen failed TO
score again.

"On the Bridge at Midnight" a
mclodrama, was presented Satur-
day, matinee and night. to a fairly
large audiences, but had the public
been aware Of the excellence Of the
company and the play, the Kentucky
would probably have been crowded.
There are few companies of this
class that can boast of more ca
pable cast. The performance is clean
and at all times interesting. Miss
Beatrice Shewbrook, as "Reddy,"
ago as Maggie" the girl in Il. j..
Carpenters "A Little Outcast" She
is very young. but has been starring
for the past two seasons in boys
parts. and her clever work in ION
he Bridge at Midnight shows that
she is one of the best in the business
and indicates successful stage ca
roef.
The entire play was pleasant
snrprise to the audience, and the
Chicago bridge scene with the steam
er passing, was very realistic. Every
role was capably played, but those
who won especial notice were Gus
Arthur as Germany" Harold f.
Cornell, as Hastings" Charlis Lee
kins as the Dago, Miss Isabella Barr
as Mrs. Kate" and Miss Shew-
brook, who captured the audience
from the start. ION the Bridge at
