PARTY DRIFTING
IN DEAD LAUNCH
Has No Oars and Waves From
Passing Steamer Wash Boat
Ashore Picked Up Twelve
Miles Below
EXPERIENCE OF PADUCAHANS.

With dead engines and no paddles
with which to reach shore, and sub
iected to the high waves of passing
packets, fourteen young society peo-
pie of Paducah were forced to drift
in a gasoline launch from Brookport
to Metropolis, ILL.,, from 1880 o'clock
until between and O'Clock this
morning.
DR.. W. c. Iverson, one of the pro-
prietors of the Iverson & Wallace
pharmacy, Seventh and Washington
streets, was the host. In the party
were Messrs. w. c. Iverson, Fred
Wade, David Roger, Charles Cox,
Guy Jones, Henry Henneberger and
John Montgomery, the latter of
IThomasville, Ga, a guest of the host
in Paducah. Misses Lilly May and
Corinne Winstead. Mary Boiling,
Anna Ray Conradde, of Williamston:
Garnett Buckner Frances Wallace
and Ethel Brooks. They were chaper
oned by Miss Bolling's sister.
An engineer and pilot were taken
along and the trip to Brookport was
pleasant. Turning around the course
struck was for Smithland, but series
of explosions ended in the engine
stopping and refusing to move. The
boat drifted, turning around and
around.
When Brookport was passed the
headlight of the Dick Fowler, COM
ing up from Cairo. was sighted. The
fast packet passed the small boat at
full speed not recognizing the distress
signals.
The boat was washed ashore by
waves from the steamer but was of
again before any one could make fast
a line.
When the lights of Metropolis were
sighted, a small signal from up the
river brought hope for relief. The
owners of the boat, becoming alarmed
at the absence of the party, due be-
fore IL o'clock, had sent out relief
boat The relief boat towed the
launch and party back to Paducah.

STREET RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.

Bids are being received from con
tractors on the Improvement OF the
trackway on jefferson street from
Nineteenth street to Twenty-fifth
street, according to the agreement
between the traction company and
the residents. The. center of the
street where the car track Is. will be
graded and filled in to make a grass
plot and a concrete curb will be run
down each side. The track can be
crossed only at the street intersec-
lions and West Jefferson street prac-
tically Will be made two streets with
the park strip between.
Contractor G. w. Katterjohn also
started the Improvement of Fountain
avenue this morning, from Broadway
TO Jefferson street. This block will
be finished with concrete sidewalks,
|curbs and cutters and then Broadway
from Fifteenth TO Twenty-hfth street
will be similarly treated.
Nineteenth Street Line.
Among the extensive Improvements
going on or planned for the western
end of the city. all are in an ad-
vaneed state except the extension Of
the traction company's line out
Broadway to Nineteenth street thence
TO Guthrie avenue and the Mayfield
road. Residents in Worten's addi-
iton and that section of the city have
been waiting nearly a year on the
Improvement. which according TO the
ordinance, was to have been COM
p.eted and in operation within a year
after its passage. In the traction
.company's the delay in finishing the
extension is placed with the city. A
I'll on Broadway must be widened
and a culyert built by the city before
Ia line can be completed. Meanwhile
that section of the city remains the
only one not served by the traction
company, excepting that part Of the
city beyond Island creek.
The new line to Gregory Heights
in the west end is being pushed and
viii be in operation by the time that
residence district is thrown open for
active building.

Although McCracken county has
no Juvenile court, as provided for by
the last legislature, Police Judge d
A. Cross inaugurated the probation
method of treating juvenile offenders
when released John Nicholson and Ed
gar Holland on their own recogniz
Iance, enjoining them TO adopt some
honest employment and report to him
every Monday morning, so that he
may know they are conducting them

These two boys were arrested by
Detective T. j. Moore for stealing
brass fixtures, lead and nickel from q
south side residence. They literally
stripped it of saleable metal and
were caught with the goods on
trying to dispose of the metal to a
junk dealer.
The boys, who show promise of
making men of themselves, agreed to
all the stipulations of Judge Cross,
and were glad of the chance to re-
deem themselves, as they seemed to
have been led into mischief by love OF
excitement and the bazaar.

1T WAS REAL PRAIRIE FIRE

| Realistic western methods were
resorted by summer residents in a
fight against a prairie fire at Mr..
George C. Wallace's country place
In the Gregory Heights neighbor-
hood this morning at 1920 o'clock
which for a while threatened the
handsome home. Lighted matches
dropped by small boys, in tall. dry
grass in a field near the house, re-
suited In fire that swept several
acres before it was mastered, and
partly burned down fence.
Resourcefulness of the oldef farm
hands confined the damage ton that

double furrow was plowed \ all
around the burning area and the fire
was thus controlled. Then women
and children, with the few male
hands on the place, augmented by
the other residents in the neighbor-
hood, pulled up the grass near the
double burrows and attacked the
flames with sticks and buckets OF
water.
The dry grass burned fiercely. Ev-
cry little gust OF wind would give an
impulse to the flames and the little
band of fire-fighters more than once
thought the house would be reached.
The burning fence was pulled down
to STOP the file in that direction and
forming wall between the fire and
the house, the women, children and
men beat down the fire with sticks.
No Apparatus Nor Water.
Meagre fire fighting apparatus in
the neighborhood made 1t of the ut
most Importance to control the fire
In the field. Not one of the hand
some country homes around the Wal
lace place is equipped to fight a seri-
GUS blaze, the extent of their facill-
ties being fire extinguishers and
buckets. The city water mains do NOT
extend within three quarters of a
mile of that neighborhood. Wells are
the only source of water supply.

country place, burned. the pines.
Mr.. Friedman's home; 'Lolomai
Lodge, Mr.. George Flournoy's
place; Rustic Hail., Mr.. Gregory's
place; "The Cabbage Patch" and
Mr.. r. B. Phillips place, would have
been endangered. The houses are
separated by some distance, but fly
ing sparks almost certainly would
have set fire to other fields or hous-
es. Easily $4,000 of property would
have been in danger without much
prospect of checking the flames.
Not only western methods were
used in fighting the flames in the
field, the women showed true west
ern pluck in not croaking or calling
on their husbands In the city for
help. Many of the men who own the
homes in the neighborhood did not
learn of the danger until the fire
was out. 1t caused the greatest ex-
element in the neighborhood since
the homes have been built.
