CARRY OUT BUGGY
TO PREVENT NOISE
Careful Thieves Do Not Dis
turb Sleeping Owner
Colored Farmer of Maxon Mills Sec
ton Made Victim of Odd
Robbery.
TRACKS LED TOWARD PADUCAH

Carrying heavy country roao
buggy from a stable to the pike, a
distance of more than a square, two
house breakers hitched up Richard
HoweA's bay mare and escaped last
night while Howell slept a few rods
away unconscious OF II all.
Howell is a negro farmer of the
Maxon Mills section, and last night
locked his horse and buggy IN the
stable securely, as is his regular
habit.
The stable door was standing wide
open when Howell went out this
morning and the door leading to the
place where ne kept his buggy was
also open.
The thieves opened both stable
doors, and led the horse to the pike.
The harness was placed on the horse
in the stable, but the acquisition Of
the buggy was the browning piece Of
the whole job.
Tracks leading from the stable
showed where the thieves had lifted
the buggy up to prevent its wheels
from creal1ing, and carried it to the
road, not once setting it down. The
dirt in the road showed where it had
been deposited and where the mare
was led into the shafts.
Tracks towards Paducah were
made and the negro came here early
this morning to report the matter to
the police. Messages nave been sent
to all surrounding towns to arrest
anyone driving the mare.
This morning shortly before noon
the mare was found hitched to a
buggy on jefferson street near Third
street and an investigation showed
that negro drove it there. Levi
Calhoun was arrested and a warrant
Issued, charging him with horse
stealing. He was identified by How
ell, the owner, as a negro seen near
Maxon Mills yesterday. Calhoun de-
MES he is guilty, and says he re-
turned on train this morning.

Engine Is Out.
EVERY TRACK CROWDED FULL,

With every available track filed
local Illinois Central officials are
struggling desperately to master one
of the most serious blockades in
years. So badly blocked are the
yards that trains had to wait on the
main line north of Paducah several
hours last night, and passenger
trains had to be Sawed" into the
Paducah union station this morning
because the passing tracks were FILL

1t is estimated that fully 1000
cars are stored in the Paducah yards,
and every engine is worked hard to
keep the freight moving. The boat
yards contain 900 cars, the north
yards at shops are full and the south
yards can hold no more cars, The
coal tipple track and other tracks not
constantly in use, are used for stor-
age.
