THEN THEY WALK BACK HoMn

Houses, hay wagons, and some
times street cars burn up, but the
latest pyrotechnical stunt was per-
formed near Sharpe, Marshall coun-
ty, few miles south of Paducah last
night, and as a result fine machine
is ruined and prominent young man
of Paducah and young woman, had
to foot it" most of the way back to
Paducah.
: To be brief. Mr.. Henry Arenas
fine $500 Ford, double-seated. au-
tomobile burned up. The confiagra-
ton was complete and nothing re-
mains of the machine except the met
al parts.
Mr.. Arena noticed the machine
running hard and stopped, thinking
the engines were hot After waiting
some time he attempted to start but
the machine refused to respond. He
thought possibly the gasoline reser-
voir was empty and getting down un-
der the machine turned on the res
ervoir cock. No gasoline came, and
a match was brought into service.
Mr.. Arena did not take the necessa-
ry precaution to use the other end.
but stuck the sulphur end of the !u-
offer into the cock. He was probing
to see If 1t was stopped up.
In pulling the match out 1t scratch
ed and lighted. There was a fash Of
flame and the machine was envelop-
ed in flame.
There was no water or means of
any kind to extinguish the blaze and
the two experienced the painful or
deal of seeing a fine automobile
burn up. !
This morning expert machinists
from the Foreman shop were sent
out to view the remains of the ma
chine. II is said that nothing but the
iron parts remain. The body of the
machine was burned OF. the wooden
wheel spokes and even the rubber
tires.

FROM ALDERMAN HANK.
Fellow Left Fire Pot In Hardware
Store and Then IL Quickly
Disappeared.

Alderman Harry Hank did not
know to what extent a tramp went
in trying TO swindle him until last
night when he met Magistrates
Charles Emery and John ]. Blelch.
A tramp with a fire pot for mend
ing tinware. stepped into Alderman
Hanks hardware store. He desired
to leave his fire pot for a short time
and set 1t near the door. No one paid
any particular attention to the mat
ter and in about an hour the stran-
ger rcappeared and demanded his
property.
Some one had in the meantime
come in and taken 1t away. The
stranger threatened all sorts of pros
ecution and did go to both magis-
trates but was refused a warrant.
He wanted to prosecute the hard
ware man for not properly caring for
his fire pot. and seeing this fail
tried to strike a compromise. He
asked for a bar of solder. but the
alderman gave him notice OF
speedy departure and was not trou.
bled with him again.
