Man Found Dead Near Mayfield
May be Known.
Patrol Driver John Austin Thinks
He Was a Painter Named Os-
well, OF Paducah.
THE MAN HAS DISAPPEARED

Patrol Driver John Austin. of Pa
ducah, and Marshal McNutt, of May
field, are working on a clue which
may reveal the identity of the man
found dead with his throat cut in a
hay stack on a farm near Mayfield
several weeks ago.
Marshal McNutt was in Paducah
short time ago comforting with Offit'
Ger Austin but nothing definite re-
suited from the conference. He came,
Il is understood, to investigate
clue he was working on and got just
the information he wanted.
officer Austin knew the man and
his past history and it is said Mar
shall McNutt is working from the
other end to bring the facts togeth-
er.
The theory is that the man found
dead is Oswell, a painter formerly
residing near Fourth and Kentucky
avenue here, and who separated
from his wife aud had since been
a tramp. He has disappeared and no
trace can be found of him. and McA
Mutt thinks the dead man and Osi
well are the same. This belief is
shared by officer Austin, 1t is
said, and also j. c. Harris, a railroad
man in Mayfield, who knew Oswell.
The wife is said to live in Cairo now.
Officer Austin said today that
there had been nothing definite done
in the case, and 1t might be a day or
two before anything could be given
out 1t was reported in Mayfield to-
day that warrants were likely to
be issued for the alleged murder of
the man at any time.

Wanted TO 90 to Chicago and
Testify.
Lottery Alleged TO Have Been Oper-
ated There and Tickets Sold
to Local shop Men,
TRIAL SET FOR JANUARY 30

Great excitement prevailed in the
|. G.. shops here yesterday afternoon
about o'clock when Deputy U. s.
Marshal George Saunders, accom-
panied by young gentleman of very
shrewd appearance who had been
deputized for the purpose of identi-
fcation, strolled through the shops
in quest of NJ. Mcmahon. a machln-
list employed at the shops wanted as
a witness in the case against l.. A.
Gourdin and J. II. Dallon, in Chica-
go, charged with using the mails to
fraudulently conduct a lottery sys-
TEN. The employees of the shops knew
The genial deputy marshal and knew
his visit to the shops meant some
thing and were much puzzled until
Mcmahon was located and service
secured.
1t seems that Mcmahon acted as
agent for the Chicago. men and 1t is
said sold something like 800 tickets
in an alleged lottery here last sum-
mer. Clarence Ellithorpe, a Paducah
machinist, is in Chicago S shshsh
machinist, is said to have assisted
Mcmahon but he is in Chicago work
ing and has been summoned in that
city. The summons commanded Nc
Mahon to appear in Chicago on the
3Oth to appear as a witness, and the
report that he was wanted on an in
dictment is erroneous.
Many shop men bought tickets in
the loan company, which the opera
tors allege is not a lottery, and ma
ny failed to understand the compa-
ny at all and have held their tickets
merely as keepsakes. A reporter Sc
cured one of the tickets which reads.
"The Old Reliable Guaranty Loan
and Trust Company of California"
This is the head of the ticket and UNI
der ii is printed in large letters
over smaller printing giving cohul-
lions, the words Bond and Loan APP
plication."
The certificate has very innocent
appearance but the government
thinks it a lottery and will investi-
gate 1t thoroughly.
Mcmahon was not required TO give
any bond for his appearance, the
SUMMONS merely being read, and
will go in time to attend the trial.
II is authoritatively stated that no
action will he taken against the Pa
ducah men who are alleged to have
acted as agents. They are merely
wanted as witnesses.

DID DOCK" BOYD
TAKE HIS OWN LIFE?
Well Known Horse Trader
Found Dead Today.
His Bride Left Him and Yesterday
Removed Her Clothing From
His Home.
HAD LIVED HERE MANY YEARS

q. c. Boyd, better known as
Dock" Boyd, a we'll known horse
trader, was found dead in bed about
10 O'Clock this morning at his home
523 South Second street by Charles
Inman, who resides with his brother
I'm the other side of the house. 1t is
thought to be a case of suicide.
Boyd arrived home last night
about 1920 o'clock in charge Of
some one, and after being put to
bed, his neighbors heard him groan-
ing as II in great pain. and finally
about 1880 o'clock Mr.. George In
man went in and begged Boyd to let
him call a doctor The man declined,
and Mr.. lnman left him.
This morning he failed to feed his
horse at the usual time. and finally
his body was found cold and stiff. He
had evidently been dead several
hours, and his body was discolored
- If from morphine poisoning.
When Boyd reached home last
night he was vomiting and appeared
to be very i'll. but as he did not seem
to want a doctor, nothing further
was done by the family next door
when they heard him groan at vari-
Gus intervals during the night. The
last time Mr.. Inman remembers
hearing him was about G o'clock this
when he was heard to say.
"The Lord have mercy"
1t was four hours later that Mr..
Charles Inman went in and shouted
to Boyd and upon investigation
found him dead.
1t is the general belief that IL is
a case of suicide Boyd had been
three times, his first two
wives being dead. About two months
ago he married Mrs. A. Cathey, but
they separated four weeks ago.
Yesterday she went to the house
and took away her clothing and 9TH
er property. which seemed to grieve
Boyd very much, and he is alleged
to have afterwards threatened to
commit suicide, because of his do
nestle troubles.
The dead man had been a stock
trader hereabout for the past TWEEN
ty-five years and had lived on South
Second street for nine years. He has
a wealthy brother, T. IL. Boyd, in
Chicago. and two sisters who are
said to live in Nashville. He was
known all over this section of the
country. He was a picturesque look
ing character at times, always wear
ing wide SLOUGH hat, and having
long, dropping moustache. He
would have made a typical cowboy,
After the corpse was found Coro-
ner Crow and Detective T. j. Moore
were notified and made an investi-
cation of the case, deciding to hold
a postmortem and ascertain the
cause OF death.
The records at the court house
show that Boyd was born in Feast
ern Kentucky, and was so years old.
lie was married to Mrs, Alphine
Cathey October 81.
The inquest this afternoon failed
develop any proof of suicide and ii
was decided not to hold postmor-
tenn. County Physician Pendley made
an examination and stated that there
were no external traces of poison.
The evidence showed that Boyd
had been complaining for several
days of being slightly i'll, and he may
have died from natural causes.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that he came to his death from
unknown causes.

There Have Been Both Raises
and Decreases.
Not Enough to Have Much Effect On
the Assessmcnt-City After
the Loan Companies.
LICENSES ARE COMING SLOWLY.

Not much encouragement comes
from the board of city supervisors in
regard to an increased assessment
this year. The board has made many
changes. some being raises and some
decreases, but there have thus far
been none that will make any great
change In the total assessment in Pa
ducah of last year.
A great many people are interested
in the assessment, not only because
it involves many of them personally,
but because IL will decide the tax rate
for the year. II the assessment is
large enough, the tax rate may be as
low as now,-or no higher than
now, $1.65. But from present indi-
cations the tax rate may be as high
as s1.S5, then there is a prospect of
not having enough money for many
things that are worst needed, as it is.
Several city officials seem to be
pleased with the prospect Of doing
something to some of the smaller
loan companies. They claim that it
is necessary to protect poor people
from being "gouged."

You borrow So, and must pay, say
$1.35 week for five weeks. At the
end of five weeks you have been
paying interest at the rate of about
25 per cent, but that isn't the worst.
| understand that some of them stip-
ulate that If borrower misses a
week, he forfeits what he has already
paid, and has to begin over, or lose
what he has put up as collateral,
which is always worth much more
than the amount borrowed.
zone case reported here was OF
someone who borrowed $40 on
piano When 1t was reported here
$37 had already been paid back, and
there was still s31 claimed against

to stop, even If the poor unfortunates
who are victimized need the money

Owing to the high officials who are
now preparing to put their foot
down on it. there is prospect OF
early results. The companies aimed
at do not include the larger, legiti-

The edifice will be of brick and will cost ip the neighborhood of S6000. This building will not meet the require ments of the town for many years, but owing to the fact that the major ity of the members are of moderate Teans, the good father is of the opinion that this is all that he will be able to build during the present year.

On Sunday afternoon last MT. and Mrs. R. J. Young, MT. and Mrs. Chas. Johnson and the Misses BoStiCk and Anderson took their departure for Bush valley on a summer hunting and camping expedition. When the party had ascended the Frisco about eight miles they met with a rather unusual adventure, which will probably long remain in the memory of the young ladies, who are some what new to the country, and not ac- customed to roughing it. MT. Young was in charge of the COmmissary de- partment while MT. Johnson was driving the wagon containing the ladies and three babies. While ford ing the Frisco river a few. miles above the Harper ranch the king pin broke and the horses walked on with the front wheels of the wagon. When this occurred the front end of the wagon box dropped into the river, and in a second the river was full of babies, ladies, suit cases and lunch baskets. MT. Johnson busied himself in gathering up the babies, which left the ladies to their own re- sources, but as the water was ice-cold it is likely that not much time was lost by them in reaching shore. As the entire party was wet to the skin it was found advisable to pitch camp at once when all hands got busy dry ing out their clothing. MT. Johnson had some trouble in recovering a large lunch basket which had fioated some distance down stream. When it was finally secured and brought to shore it was discovered that it was nearly half full of speckled noun tain trout, that were feeding on the lunch, and which furnished the first fish dinner of the trip. The latest reports are to the effect that the party broke camp early the next morning and ''hiked" for the big mountains.
