Paducahans Set on by Crowd
of LOungcrs.
Foul In Running Race Starts Trou-
bic and Mob Goes 10 Stable
With Threats.
PADuCAH HORSES ARE PULLED.

Bonnie Frank. son of Mrs. Mary
Frank. residing at Ninth and Adams
streets, repulsed the advances of a
mob OF drunken farmers and stable
loungers at Mayfield yesterday and
probably saved the life of Clarence
Dickerson. a Paducah race horse
man, Henry Rice. colored. his jockey
and Louis Williams. colored. his
'swipe." With the GOODNESS of a per-
son performing an ordinary function
of every day life young Frank talked
the angry mob into calmness. and at
one time stood chances Of getting
shot.
The affair was a result of fouls In
races. In which both Dickerson and
young Frank had horses entered. II
served to pull the Paducah horses
out of the events today and will be a
big factor In killing horse racing in
Mayfield as far as Paducahans are
concerned.
Mr. Frank returned from Mayfleld
this morning and tells the story.
"Dickerson had Jumper entered In
a half mile race and II had taken two
heats. A Mayfeld horse also took two
heats and when the final heat was
run a foul was permitted at the start.
when the stretch was reached the
Mayfield Jockey reached over. grab
bed Rice's whip and began to beat
Rice over the head with 1t. The
Dlckerson jumper was also struck
and Rice lost the heat because OF tho
foul. When the stable was reached
the news had preceded the jockeys
coming and the crowd of half drunk
en- loungers didnot know the straight
OF Il. They thought that Dickerson's
rider had fouled and started in to
mob him. stepped in and pleaded
with the half-crazed men. finally sue
ceedln~ In averting trouble.
'Dlckerson rode his jumper In the
next race. the negro. rider being
afraid TO go in. The Mayneld negro
repeated the attack on Dlckerson and
Dlckerson was seized when the sta
Bile was reached. jumped in between
DIckerson and the mob and succeed
cd the second time in staying any vi
olence. One had knife and started
to use II.
"while pleading with the mob
word reached us that the "swipe,"
Louis Williams. was In hands of an
other mob of the rowdies. and we
went after him, and succeeded in res
cuing the negro before any violence
had been done. We put Williams in
the stable He found a gun and plac-
ed IL in his shirt. A policeman came
forward and Williams thought he
was rowdy and drew the weapon.
saw the officer mistook the act and
stepped in between to prevent the me-
gro or officer shooting. The "swipe"
was arrested for carrying concealed
weapons
The affair created q great deal of
excitement and the Paducsh men
pulled their horses out Of the race.
Dickerson had a jumper and Frank
a PAGER. Eliza n, which took one
prize for the fastest mile heat. The
PAGER did the mile in 1891. and is a
green horse.
The Mayheld races were begun
yesterday and continue today.

When Charles Foehlinger first be-
came a candidate for coroner the Her
aid advocated his election on the
ground that he would be an efficient
and economical official. Intervening
events have proven the claim and as
all must agree, Mahaska county new
er had more capable man in the po-
sition. Mr.. Foehlinger is an under
taker of years experience and pop
ular business man of the city of Os-
kaloosa. His candidacy for re-elec-
ton meets with general favor among
the people Of the county.
Chas. Foehlinger was born in
Kretuznacht, Germany, January Ia
1850. The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Foehlinger, removed with their fam
lily to America in 1853 and three years
later to Iowa and Oskaloosa, and it
was there that Charles received his
early education. AS soon as he was
old enough to earn wages he went
into a furniture and undertaking es-
adjustment and has since followed
that line of work, excepting very
few years. He entered the store of
Miller & Harbach and served them
three years. He was out of this line
of work about three years while in
the employ of Levi Hambleton in the
grocery business. His excellence as
a workman in the other line of work
was we'll known and he was offered
an opportunity to connect himself
with the J. B. McCurdy furniture and
undertaking business and he remain
ed in the service of this house for a
period of thirteen and one-half years,
He then started in business for him
self and established an art store and
undertaking business in room on
South Market street. He removed
from this place to larger and better
quarters in the ]. B. Doll room on
High avenue, where the new cafe is
soon to be opened. After several
years successful business here he re
moved his stock to its present lcca
ton on First avenue east in the Ev
ans block, where he is engaged in a
general art business, undertaking and
embalming and upholstery.
Mr.. Foehlinger is licensed EN-
balmer and was a member Of the frs
class that passed examinations and
received the certificate of the state
board. He has been member of the
state association of funeral directors
and embalmers since its organization
Mr.. Foehlinger has been connected
with the Christian church Of this city
since 1868 and has been in continuous
service on the board for the past
twenty-nine years. He mas ever beer
an indefatigable worker in church ant
Sunday school and for period Of
three years he was at the head of the
school as it's superintendent. The
gentleman is a member Of the X. o.
P. lodge organization of this city anc
he is also an officer Of the State I'm
dertakers' Association.
He is life-ling republican and has
always given the party his unwaver
ing support. He now seeks support
and votes at the hands Of that party
and IL reelected he will perform his
duties with the same efficiency ant
economy that have marked his tern
of earnest endeavors.

The Pennsylvania Railroad compa'
ny has notified the Central passenger
association that it will place on sale
November l, unrestricted 1000-mile
books for $40. These books which are
transferable, good for any number OF
passengers and valid until used, will
be accepted for transportation on all
lines of that system west of Pitts
burg, except the Vandalia between
Terre Haute and East St.Louis, which
road trayerses Western passenger as
ISOLATION territory. The Issuance OF
such books was the subject of confer
ence between the Pennsylvania com
pany and the Association at the time
and the final official notice came as
something Of a surprise. Other roads
in the same territory will, of course
be compelled to follow the Pennsylva
MAS example. 1t is probably only q
question Of time until the Western as
ISOLATION viii face a like situation in
the matter Of fares.
