LIVELY RUNAWAY
ALONG BROADWAY
Brings Ruin to Vehicle And
Windfall to Gamips
Woodland Dairy Wagon Horses BE.
come Frightened and Run Until
House Stops Them.
CAUSE CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE

Frightened by flying piece of pa
per about 3 O'Clock this morning, q
team of horses belonging to j. b.
Cooper, and attached to the Woodland
dairy wagon, dashed up Fourth street
and out Broadway, wreoking two bug
gies belonging to Frank Boone and
Paul Legacy, and demolished the
milk cans, splitting nine gallons of
milk and scattering among a crowd
of greedy street gammons ten dollars
in small change. They turned into
Fifth street and brought up against
the Hon. Charles X. Wheeler's resi-
dence at Fifth street and Kentucky
avenue.
Mr.. Cooper left his team standing
in front of W. G. Gray's saloon while
he delivered milk.
Frank Boone and Paul Legacy
were driving towards the river. The
torn up condition of Broadway made
both drivers hug the curb. Degeay
was ahead of Boone. John O'Hara,
colored, was driving Boone's horse.
When the milk wagon turned into
Broadway coming straight for the
two buggies, Degeay tried 10 drive
onto the pavement but was too late
The heavy milk wagon struck his
shafts and broke them, freeing his
horse. Legacy jumped out and held
his horse, preventing It running away.
Boone did not see the runaways
until Legeay Jumped out. He did
likewise but the milk wagon demol-
ished the rear wheel of his buggy and
knocked it into the middle of the
pavement.
The team pulling the milk wagon
went into the excavation made for
the double car tracks. Cans flew out
and with them the cash drawer.
Dimes and nickles scattered in every
direction and street gamins soon were
picking them up in eager haste. The
horses turned, after throwing out the
drivers chair and two cans, into
Fifth street. They failed to make the
turn at Kentucky avenue and ran
across the pavement and into the
yard of Hon. Charles X. Wheeler.
The house stopped them. The wagon
wheel was damaged. the singletree
broken, and one of the horses suffered
a bruised nose which came in con
tact with the wall.

Railroad Schedules Off.

Millions OF dollars win be appro-
pirate figures to estimate the damage
done to railroads In the south by the
deluge of water. The rains of the
past few days, which threw volumes
of water into the lowlands, converted
the small creeks into raging torrents,
sweeping away bridges, tearing up
railroad tracks and doing damage i'm
possible to estimate In river districts
were mere showers compared to that
which came last night. Today Padu-
cab is on an island and the volume of
water pouring through the creeks to
the rivers is undlminished. Trees.
fences and culverts and wooden struc-
lures were washed into the creeks
and some Of them found their way to
the river. Island creek carried every
kind of drift conceivable. and river
property is being watched with re-
newed caution.

Practically without hitch the
street car schedules have been carried
out during this bad spell, though no:
without considerable trouble.
The fill over the new culvert near
the Union passenger station has sunk
several feet from the steady rains,
leaving the tracks and ties suspended.
This fill has not been made long and
the sinking could be expected. on

have sunk delaying traffic somewhat.

PadHcah Suffers Some.

After a careful canvass of Padu-
cab mills and personal interviews
with river men, The Sun can report
that, as yet, little loss IN RATS and
other floating stock, has been ex-
perienced by the unprecedented rise
in the rivers.
However, everybody seen, says
that damage Is bound to follow II the
rise continues, which now seems to
be the outlook.
The market for dog-chains in Pa
ducah and at every river town has
been exhausted. Dog-chains are two
pieces of iron sharp at one end, and
connected by a chain. They are used
to secure logs. One end is driven in
to one log, and the other end into
another log, and so on indefinitely.
Then a raft so formed, is tied by
ropes to the shore.
Dog-chains are used principally on
logs which are lying up on the bank,
and which it is feared will be wash
ed away by the rising rivers. The
Dick Fowler carried $500 from
Mound City to a point down the
river, and the Peter Supply compa-
ny here shipped 500 by express yes
terday.
The steamboat men report that
many thousands of logs are lying on
the river banks, and unless they can
be secured in some way. will be
washed away. The same is true OF
railroad ties. The tie boats are ex,
tremely busy handling ties.
Farmers, work having been stop
ped by the rains, are concentrating
their attention TO saving their timber.
A rising wind is adding to the trou-
BILE of navigation.
Reports of a change of taste in
drinking water are coming in, and
the explanation, is from the large
amount of dirt washed into the
rivers.
The Paducah Traction company has
a barge of ties at the wharf, which
cannot be unloaded on account of
the weather.

Timber Worth a Billion.

One billion dollars is the price tag or
the standing timber in Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, California and Montana.
These timber lands are said to con
stitute the most important forest area
in the world. In extent thay are I'M
approachable, says one writer, in meas
ure of productions they are unequaled,
and they surpass all other forests in the
universal adaptabiity of their products
California has the fir, the western
spruce and the cedar. Eastern Wash
ington has the yellow pine, which is
also abundant in central and eastern
Oregon and northern California, sur
passing in size and equaling in quality
the product of the pine belt Of the
great lakes.
The amount of timber standing in the
five states is placed at an aggregate of
100, 900, 600 feet. While the average is
more than 81 per 1000 feet, there the
the quantity per acre, quality and ac-
feasibility more than double this figure.

MexiCa And Arizona Is Defeated By Vote
Reflects Governor John A. johnson.
Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. Z. With
but few mountain counties to hear
from and these probably decreasing his
lead, Governor Beckham has almost
certainly won his fight against Senator
McCreary for the nomination for the
United States senatorship in yester-
days democratic primaries. The gov
ernor's majority will be about 1900.
Samuel Hager was nominated for gov
ernor in the same primaries by between
10, 600 and 5000 majority. Although
Senator McCreary carried Louisville. by
1897. Governor Beckham ran so well
in the country that he overcame this
lead and tonight has in the neighbor-
hood of 1900 to spare. The republicans
gained two congressman. giving them a
total of four in the lower house.
