Arrest in Augustus Case Expect
ed at Any Time Now.
Police DO Not Believe That Charge
Of Murder Can he Made,
However.
AUGUSTUS MAY HAVE DROWNED

The police know who killed Will
liam Augustus. the bricklayer. but
have been unable to apprehend him.
He is a white man, and according to
their theory, it was not a case of
murder, but possibly one of man
slaughter of involuntary manslaugh-
ter.
Detective 7. j. Moore has been
working almost necessarily since last
Friday on various cases, and has not
even had time to go home to his
meals. Yesterday he walked all tlA
way to.Boaz working on the Angus
tus case. searching the woods along
the way, and today started out again
on the trail.
81 don't believe the man knows
that he killed Augustus" said the
detective last night.
The body was found fully 800 feet
from where the fight occurred. indi-
eating that IL was not thrown there.
The theory of the police is that Au-
gustus and the men. or one of the
men. had fight. and Augustus was
worsted. He started down the track
and when he reached the culvert, in
attempting to get out of the way of a
train or engine, or owing to his weak
condition, perhaps. he fell. When
his body was found. it was almost
submerged in water. only the top of
the head and an arm being visible.
1t is possible that instead of dying
from the seven wounds on his head,
which may or may not have been
sufficient to have caused death. he
may have drowned in the shallow
water, from which he was too weak
TO crawl when he fell in.
The officers do not believe that
Augustus could have well been car
ried from where the night took place
to the spot where his body was
found, for it would have been too
risky. not yet being dark.

SANDER by Innuendo.

(From Washington Gnd.) Herald)
A man who is described by The

made a speech in the Evansville
council the other night in which he
cast aspersions on the newspapers
of that city by innuendo. Speaking
of the speech, The Courier declares
that it "has no apologies to offer
for its attitude, past and present, ="
and
Neither will it have any in flu

THEIR OLD TRICKS.

The members of Paducah's legisla-
tive boards should not allow the wool
to be pulled over their eyes by the in
consistent opponents of measures
which have only the public good in
view. For years a certain clique has
proved on the taxpayers of Paducah.
1t got in Office and for long time
stayed there. Some of it is still
there. When a council of good bust
ness men was elected by the Republic
cans several years ago, every STUN
bling block possible was placed in its
path. When provision was made for
sanitary sewerage, for extending the
water mains to Mechanicsburg by a
slight change in the franchise ordi-
nance, and when, the street roller was
purchased, a mighty howl was raised.
The council proceeded without fear
or favor, and since, the same men
whose voices we're loudest in I'M
equivocal denunciation, have directly
or indirectly Endorsed the same
things that they so heartily con-
demned. Later the crowd fought
the issuance of bonds for street i'm
provements, and new market house
and city hospital. and was turned
down by the people.
The same crowd is now at its old
tricks. Ii is attempting to harass
the present legislative boards at
every turn. II does not want it to
do anything creditable. 1t wants to
force 1t to do as little as possible for
the public good, wants it to spend as
much money as possible, and does
not want II TO reduce taxes or estab-
lish a precedent or record for econo-
my. Every move that is made TO
reduce city expenses is met With a
checkmate of some sort. These men
are enemies to the people, and sworn
foes to the men in Office who are
seeking only to benefit the people,
who placed them in office. This
crowd of grumblers, part of which
has been kicked from Office and some
never able to get there, wants only
TO be able to say at election time,
"Look what these other fellows have
done" And they are trying to run
a bluff that will cause the members
of the present boards to play into
their hands. If the people wanted
them and their brilliant ideas, they
would have elected them.
The fact that the crowd is against
every good move that is attempted,
should be sufficient justification for
the members of the boards to go
ahead and ignore opposition. espe-
cially when they know they are
doing what is best for the city.
When a man or set of men is able
to point back to his or its record and
show that money has been saved the
city, and at the same time additional
benefits secured, no one can hurt
him by criticism. The members of
the present boards should beware of
the crowd that is now trying to hood
wink and blum them. Its record on
public matters is not one to inspire

may be as bad as its has been. When
public men plainly show where they
