Two Colorcd Men From Tennessee
Relieved of Considerable
Cash in Street.
KNEW CUSTOM OF PATROLMEN.

Detectives and policemen are to-
day making thorough investigation
of a holdup at Eleventh and Cald-
well streets, which took place sun
day morning about 2 O'Clock while
Patrolmen Orr and Sanders were at
the station meeting Illinois Central
trains. Two white men, one armed
with a policeman's club and star
and the other a gun, held up Hens
ley and Will Childers, colored, from
Tennessee, and relieved the former
OF s25 and latter of 60 cents, and
after taking their motley, ordered
them to leave. when the victims
Istarted down the street five shots
were fired to induce them to go fast
err.
Pole Childers, residing at 110S
South Tenth street, is an uncle OF
the two, and reported at once 10 the
police station that "a policeman and
another man" had robbed his neph-
ews. Police Lieutenant Tom Potter
got busy" and dispatched Patrol
men Orr and Sanders to the scene
They found two pocketbooks and a
bull dog pistol, five chambers OF
which had FIVE empty shells in them
lying in the grass. One pocketbook
was identified as belonging to one OF
the victims.
The Childers men stated that the
policeman, who held him up did not
wear a uniform or policeman's hat
All he could remember was a star and
club. Paducah patrolmen do not wear
stars, but badges. and the policemen
suspect, a person, who had access to
old fashioned police outfits, and
knows the custom of patrolmen.

For years past the legislation en-

the creation OF new offices TO he trad

The citizen IS at last realizing. as
never before. that the administration
of public affairs IS business that
comes close home to him: that such
business must be honestly and efh
GENTLY conducted, and that his bal
lot should not be cast as matter of
sentiment, but for that candidate or
party which shows the highest capac-
ity for properly conducting the af-
fairs of the state on strict business

Alabama goes North Carolina one
better in her war on railroads. She
has statutes, which provide, that
when a railroad appeals from the
state court in regard to restrictions
in these particular statutes. the sec
rotary of state may revoke the rail-
roads charter. There can be no
doubt, the United States may not re-
strict states right to grant or re-
woke charters, except as such action
contravenes the law of the land
but, on the other hand, how may a
state limit the right of an individual
or corporation to, appeal its proper
grievances to the federal court?

BAD MAN WAS
EASILY TAKEN
He Dared the Posse to
Take Him and Then
Was Easy

MUSKOGEE, 1. T., July 7-Jack
Baldridge. bad man and eight times
murderer. was arrested by United
States Marshal Bud Ledbetter alone
after he had sent wild note defyfng
the entire force of deputies in the
Territory. Ledbetter, who has grown
old in the service of capturing "gun"
men. found Baldridge in the Canadian
river bottom, near whitefeld. He COW
cred the outlaw so quickly with his
Winchester that Baldridge gave up
without struggle and was brought to
Muskogee in irons.
Ledbetter also captured the out
laws brother, who was heavily armed,
and brought him here, a Federal pris-
oner.
Two brothers named Ellsworth had
a drink stand at Perum, Indian Ter
ritory, the Fourth of July. and Jack
Baldridge was bartender. AS there is
heavy penalty for selling liquor in
the Territory and the United States
marshals- are continually on the look
out for violations of the law, Marshal
Samuel Roberts made an investiga-
ton at the drink stand. Finding a keg
of cider he said he would have to de-
stroy 1t.
Eyewitnesses say that Baldridge
calmly drew revolver and aiming at
Roberts head fired, instantly killing
Roberts. AS Roberts fell Baldridge
turned and fred at Deputy Sapper,
who had accompanied Roberts, the
bullet boring a hole through Sappers
side, but not killing him. Coolly blow
ing the smoke from the barrel of his
revolver, Badly turned and walked
away.
Baldridge sent def to the marshal
at Perum like this:
United States Marshal I. T.:I am
out here by the Midland Valley bridge
sitting in the brush. / am not hiding
and am not going to run away. At
present 1 am playing solitary and
smoking cigarettes to steady my
nerves. You can come and get me-
it's very short distance. But I win
not be responsible for the result or
the outcome. Roberts was the eighth
man I have killed, but probably shall
have to finish few more before am
through with this job.
! (signed) "BALDY, 7-11-'O7."
A posse searched the place. but
could not find Baldridge.

JUDGE lands
WINS FAME
H ~
The Origin Of His Historic
Name---Early Traits
and Career


WASHINGTON, July 17.-Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands Of the
United States court of Chicago, before
whom John D. Rockefeller was exam
ined this week. Is only 40 years old.
His father was wounded in the battle
of Kenesaw Mountain, hence his name.
Lands was born two years after the
Civil war had ended.
Judge Lands is picturesque in ap-
pearance and manner. He was private
secretary to Walter Q. Gresham from
1898 to 1895. Judge Gresham had COM
manded the regiment in which Judge
Lands father served. Young Lands.
prior to that had been a Republican.
but turned Democrat to accompany
Gresham to Washington.
While Lands was in the state de-
partment the Alliance affair" occur
red. The Alliance an American YES
sci, was overhauled by a Spanish gum
boat outside the three mile limit OF
Cuban jurisdiction and searched on
suspicion of being loaded with NUM-
tions of war for the Cuban insur.
gents. There was great hubbub de.
veloped in favor Of demanding ~
apology.
About that time Lands came near
running the state department. Secre-
tary Gresham was i'll and President
Cleveland had gone down the Poto-
mac. Edwin H. Uhl of Michigan was
acting secretary of state. He yielded
to the popular cry and wrote tele-
gram to Hannis Taylor, the United
States minister at Madrid, instructing
Mr.. Taylor to demand an apology OF
the Spanish government. He signed
it, "Uhl. acting"
BY the merest accident Secretary
Lands saw the telegram. He withdrew
it from the departments telegraph
operator and hurried with it to Mr.
Gresham. Under Lands advice Mr.
Gresham scratched out "Uhl, acting"
and signed his own name. Anew days
later the text of his telegram got into
the newspapers, with Mr.. Gresham's
name attached and the dying secre-
tary Of state was praised from one end
of the country to the other.
When President Cleveland returned
home and learned what had occurred
he was furious. He declined to sane
ton the demand for an apology and
redress, and it looked for awhile as Il
he would haul lands over the Goals.
! Later Mr.. Cleveland became attach
ed to the young private secretary and
offered to send him to Venezuela al
minister. But lands had seer
enough of diplomacy and declined. He
preferred law to politics.
