SAVED BY RAIN
SLEET WAS VERY HEAVY AND
THICK FOR A TIME.
Rise in Temperature and Heavy Rain
Prevented Much Damage.

Paducah was saved from a repeti
ton of white Week" yesterday only
by rise in temperature and heavy
rain, which melted and washed away
much of the ice which had accumu-
lated on wires and trees all day yes
terday, and menaced every line in the
city.
A number of the smaller wires
broke late in the afternoon and at
night, and if the rain had not come
when it did, a great deal of damage
would no doubt have resulted, as the
wires were being weighted down
more and more every hour when re-
lief came. The damage done was
slight.
The total rainfall was 2.40 inches,
which is a good volumn for the
length of time.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Franklin Il. KOontz Is Under Arrest
At Nashville, Tenn, Now.

The following from the Nashville
Banner will recall to the Paducah po-
lice a character quite unique in the
criminal history of Paducah:
Franklin p. Koontz, colored. wa,
placed under arrest yesterday by
Deputy United States Marshal ]. NJ.
Duggan and Private Detective r. S.
Corbett. For the past three days the
officers had been watching and ev-
cry person entering the postoffice
was given close attention. Koontz
was arrested at the instance of gov
eminent officials at Milwaukee, who
claim that he has been impersonating
IA postoffice Inspector Koontz, who
resembles a white man very closely,
protested against his arrest. but. new
ertheless, he will be taken back to
Milwaukee to stand trial"
The same man came to Paducah
several years ago and impersonated a
government officer He was arrested
and his grip was found to be filled
with blank checks and checks made
out with fictitious names. He served
term or two in prison. it is under
stood, but would always bob up here
Unexpectedly and get in trouble again
He never changed his name. and as
indicated by the Nashville paper. is
still known by the name he had
while in trouble here. II is the gen.
eral belief among local officers that
Koontz is crazy. When first arrested
here he wanted President Mckinley
telegraphed, claiming that he was a
government officer and would be vim
dicated.

Wickliffe seems to feel aggrieved
because the ,Paducah and Mayfield
papers have not paid much attention
to the fact that another railroad is
to touch Wickliffe. Certainly the
Diapers are guilty OF an objectionable
oversight, for the prospective event
is undoubtedly most remarkable, and
worth a top head" And Wickliffe
thus explains the silence of outside
papers:
"These places are striving 10 be-
come important points, and while
business men of means are pushing
each place forward, they seem to
have posted their newspapers to let
other places take care of themselves,
hence, Wickliffe has never been men,
toned by either place, and it can be
readily seen by disinterested parties
that the reason for this is fear, and
well may they have right to fear. ="
We sincerely apologize. Next time
Wickliffe gets a new railroad, which
we hope will be soon, we shall de-
vote a column TO it in order to let the
outside world know that Wickliffe is
still on the map.
