That He Was Rescued From Certain
Death by the Law.

Running as fast as his little brown
legs could carry him, small negro
boy caught picking coal in the Hi
nois Central yards this morning. does
not know that, instead of escaping
from the law by his wits, the strong
arm of the law really saved him from
death. The youngster was picking
coal at the end of a string OF box
cars when Special Agent Dick Tolbert
saw him. Just then an engine threw
a cut of cars into the other end OF
the switch. The impact sent the
standing cars down the track and the
succession of shocks was running
noisily down the line of cars, when
the agent seized the unconscious
youth by the coat collar and jerked
him out OF harms way. The boy
took one glance at the silver badge Of
his rescuer and made OF across the
hollows.

Nothing Given Out About It's Make
Up or Reconsideration OF
Tax Books.
COMPLETE AND EQUITABLE

Mayor Yeiser will reappolnt a
board of tax book supervisors this

discuss, but he has admitted that
he will name a board to attend the
revision of real estate assessments

Further than this the mayor
would not state. and his purpose Is
not known, but 1t is certain that the
revision will be the most complete
and equitable ever made. and there
will be a considerable change In the
assessed value of property in the
lefty of Paducah. The total value now
is s6,969.597.
City Assessor Stewart Dick did nor
make changes in the real estate as
sessment except where improvements
were added, as the board of tax book
supervisors will go over the books in
January aud make the quadrenniaI
revision.
The board will have a block map
of the city to enable the members to
study the location of lots. They will
then form basis by raising or low

and environments in estimating the
relative value Of all property lying in
these natural divisions.
Having done this, other features
will be considered. Mayor Yelser has
been extremely particular in select
ing his men for this board and when
the late r. G. Caldwell was Ill the
mayor refused to accept his resigna-
ton. and delayed naming a success
sor for several weeks In order that a
good man might be secured. His
choice finally rested on James Glau-
Der. The board is now composed of
James Glauber, Eli G. Boone and
Richard Holland.

Paducah terminals of the Illinois
Central road for 1907, and when the
