Hit by a Freight Train in the
Dark Yesterday.
She Was Evidently Hauled Out Of
the Creek Onto the Tracks By
Long Rope.
THINK WRECK WAS ATTEMPTED

Sunday morning about 1915
O'Clock freight train No. 1877, first
section, Engineer Mcclure and Con-
ductor Mike Holehan, struck the
body of COW on Island Creek trestle
and ground It into pieces. The COW. II
Is thought, was placed on the rails
for the purpose of wrecking the fast
passenger, although this Is merely
Il cory.
Engineer Mcclure was coming at
pretty goJ! clip to make PaduSah
ahead of the fast passenger and ge'
into the clear in the yards when he
struck the COW. 1t was impossible to
stop and all he could do was to shut
off steam and apply the air.
On reaching Paducah the matter
was reported to officers Dick Wood
and Scott Ferguson, who in turn re-
ported to Officer Dick Tolbert, the ]
c. policeman, who made an investi-
cation. He found the COW had been
mangled and the original position on
the trestle when struck was about
fifteen feet from the other end, show
ing that she must have been pulled
out of the creek by rope, a fifteen
foot rope being around her neck.
There were no traces found where
the bovine might have walked onto
the trestle, while there were indica-
tions that she was pulled up over the
side of the trestle and placed be-
tween the rails.
The fast Memphis and Louisville
passenger train, No. 104 was due at
1920 and had the freight been de-
layed and the passenger reached
there first It might not have been so
easy for 1t as 1t was for the freight
train.
The matter has been reported to
the road detectives who will investi-
gate. The crew of the freight claim
to have seen several persons Just off
the right of way of the road half
mile before the trestle was reached

state Inspector Henry u. Hines
left last night for Frankfort. KY,
having completed the work of going
over the books of Sheriff Lee Pot
ter. Expert Robertson accompanied
him. and they expected, II they made
connection. to reach Frankfort at 10
o'clock this morning.
The inspector was not ready to
render n report to Gov. Beckham as
soon as he reached Frankfort, how
ever. as there is considerable type
writing necessary before the data
and other findings can be lncorporat-
ed into a complete report. The re-
suit of the inspectors investigation
Is therefore not expected before to-
morrow. so far as a formal report Is
concerned.
The actual result is already known
by a number of people in Paducah,
however. and The sun has It on
good authority that Il will absolve
Sheriff Lee Potter from anything
criminal.
The report will find. II Is said. that
the sheriff has collected considerable
more taxes than he should have col
lected. Much more of an overcollec-
ton even. than his attorneys and
friends claimed would be found. The
exact amount Is not known, but Il
will not be as much as $4,000.
II Is understood that most OF the
overcollection was in one years ac-
counts.
As stated above. the report will
charge the overcollections to mis-
takes in the sheriff's Office The ma
ture of the mistakes Is not exactly
defined. but one report Is that the
inspector found that the sheriff had
collected taxes on some property
owners total assessments without
allowing exemptions. This would
have been impossible had the sheriff
and his deputies collected taxes on
the total assessments In the last col
umn OF the books certified by the
county clerk.
The sheriff and his deputies. II is
said, did not do this because they
found some OF the totals wrong. The
state inspector will claim that they
should have collected by the totals.
right or wrong.
II was stated today by one who
should know that the trouble was
that deputy sheriff found out, or
imagined. that the county assessors

sessments of a persons property was
In some cases incorrect. He decided
he could improve on L.. Instead OF

umn. which the state Inspector II is
alleged will claim should have been
done, he added them himself-or
tried to-and made a mess of Il, in
some Instances after adding the AS
SCISSORS figures. forgetting to sub
tract the s240 exemption. At least.
this Is said to have been one cause of
the mistakes.
The sheriff. Il is understood, does
not admit that he has to go by the
totals In the book certified to him by
the county clerk. lie may add the
separate parts of an assessment some

Warsaw, March 7.-Anarchistic
revolutionists last night startled the
ancient capital of Poland by throw
ing a bomb into the Praga police
station, wounding half a dozen po-
licemen, Staying patrolmen who pur-
sued and casting a second bomb into
the carriage of the chief of police,
Baron Won Nolken, who was severely
wounded thereby as he was Fastening
to the station to investigate the first
attack. A well-dressed man started
the trouble. All furniture as we'll as
one wall was destroyed. The bomb
thrower in trying to escape met a
policeman and shot him twice, wound
ing the officer in the stomach. The
prisoner himself was wounded, and
has been placed in a hospital.
He was caught by the captain of
the station. He was found to be a
Jew. but his identity has not yet been
discovered.
A telephone message was immedi-
ately sent to Baron Won Nolken at
the city hall, informing him of the
outrage. Baron Won Nolken, accom-
panied by police officer, took a car
riage and started Immediately for
Praga. When passing the castle
where the governor-general lives, a
man standing on the pavement threw
a bomb at the carriage. Baron Won
Nolken, who was sitting on the side
nearest the assailant, received the
full charge of the bomb, while his
companion escaped injury. The
coachman was thrown from the box
and the carriage was smashed.
Baron Won Nolken was removed to
the city hall and doctors were sum-
moned. who found he had received in
juries on the head, neck, arm and
leg. II is believed the baron will re-
cover.
The. police officer accompanying
Baron Won Nolken saw the bomb
thrower fleeing and pursued him, but
the criminal proved the stronger and
tore himself away.
Another policeman fired twice af-
ter him without result. Half an
hour later a plain clothes policeman
was found dead in Sowia street. He
had pursued the bomb thrower. The
police think the man shot the detec-
tive to escape arrest.
. A girl was passing the spot when
the bomb was thrown and was
wounded by splinters, and had to be
taken to a hospital.
According to the theory of the po-
lice, the revolutionists calculated on
Baron Won Nolkens going to Praga
IN learning of the explosion of the
bomb at the station there, and knew
