the canoes, when Angie and Chip
emerged that morning; and now while
breakfast is under way. moment
may be seized to explain VINO the peo-
pie were and their mission In this
wilderness.
Many years before. In a distant vii
lage called Greenvale, two brothers,
David and AMI Curtis, had quarreled
over an unfortunate division of In
herited land. The outcome was that
AMI, somewhat misaD thropic over
the death of his wife, and Of peculiar
makeup, deserted his home and little
daughter Angelina, and vanished. For
many years no one knew of his where
abouts, and he was given up as dead.
In the meantime his child, cared for
by kindly woman known as Aunt
Comfort had grown to womanhood.
About this time boyhood sweetheart
Of Angeline's, named Martin Frisbie,
who had been gathering wealth in a
distant city, invited former school
mate, now the village doctor in Green
vale, to join him on an outing trip into
the wilderness.
Here something Of the history Of a
notorious outlaw named MCGUIRE be-
came known to Martin, and more i'm
portant than that, queer old hermit
was discovered, dwelling In solitude
on the shore of small lake. Who he
was, and why this strange manner of
life, Martin could not learn, and not
until later, when he returned to Green
vale to WOO his former sweetheart
once more, did he even guess. Here,
however, from description furnished
by a village nonedscript,-a sort of
Natty Bumpo and philosopher COM
bined, known as Old Cy Walker, who
had been Martins youthful companion,
he was led to believe that the queer
hermit and the long-missing AMI were
one and the same.
Another trip into this wilderness
with Old Cy, taken to identify the her.
NIT, resulted In proving the correct
ness of the surmise. Then Martin set
about making this misanthropic re-
cluse more comfortable in all ways
possible; and then, leaving Old Cy to
keep him company, he returned to
Greenvale and Angie.
A marriage was the outcome of his
return to his native village, and then
with his nephew, Ray, and long-tried
guide, Levi, as helpers on this unique
wedding trip, the hermit was visited.
1t was hoped that meeting his child

June-sown grain would mature and
ripen in any country. The May sown
ripened, and this is the feature that
has proved western Canada's superb

demonstrates that the length of sun
shine is so great that the growing and
ripening season, although shorter in
number of days than in parts farther
south, in hours is as great or greater.

The reports from far and near show that
the aggregate yield for the whole grain

ON TOP OF BOX CAR
Foreman Lehnhard Clings to
Running Board
Third Man to BE Injured in This Way
but All Escape by Miracle
From Death.
WIRE IS REMOVED AT ONCE.

Struck in the face by a heavy in
|sulated electric feed wire, John
Lehnhard, foreman Of switch engine
No. 1896, was thrown to the roof OF
a fast moving box car yesterday az
ternoon on the Illinois Central be-
tween Madison and Harrison streets,
and saved himself from serious If not
fatal injuries, by desperately cling
ing to the running board of the car.
The engine was stopped by the en-
gineer; Gibbons, who missed him,
and the injured man was rescued.
Lehnhard was standing on top Of
the car, one of string of fifteen be-
ing pushed to the shop yards from
the river. Lehnhapd did not notice
that the wire hung too low. He fail
ed to stoop and the wire caught him
across the nose and on the right
cheek, just below the eye. Perceiv-
ing that no foreman was in sight
Gibbons stopped his engine. Lehn-
hard was found hanging to the run
ming board and as soon as the last
creak of the hard set brakes ceased,
he descended to the ground badly
shaken up and with an ugly cash on
he cheek.

ALDERMEN
MEET TONIGHT AND ORGANIZE
By ELECTING PRESIDENT.
Possible Deadlock May Prevent May
or Yeiser Delivering His
Annual Message.

With four Republican holdovers
and four new Democratic members
the board of aldermen affords an ex-
eellent opportunity for a deadlock, a
condition that promises to exist more
or less throughout the year. The old
members are Aldermen Earl Palmer,
.C. H. Chambln Samuel Hubbard
and Harry r. Hank The aldermen
elect are e. d. Hannah, John Little,
e. w. Baker and DR.. P. H. Stewart.
Alderman C. H. Chamblln proba-
bly, win be the Republican candidate
and e. d. Hannah the Democratic
candidate for the presidency.
If the organization Is effected to-
night Mayor Yeiser will submit his
annual message, but he may have to
hold It until he calls the lower board
in special session.
In the meantime a lot of saloon
keepers are anxiously awaiting the
decision of the board Of aldermen on
the license question. It is intimated
that the aldermen will decline to
concur in the action of the lower
board in granting licenses to saloons
against which protests are made.

PASSES
ARE SHY AMONG PATRONS OF
WEST KENTUCKY RAILROADS.
People Are Paying Fares, to Whom
the Sensation Is Unusual
Some Instances.

Pass, pass, VINO has got the
pass?" is the new game interesting
railroad men in general, and 25 Pa
ducahans are playing a star part in
the game. SO far the pass has not
been disclosed. nor will it, and the
amount of hard cash 'coughed up
by Paducahans who had heretofore
been favored with passes over the
Illinois Central and dumped into the
roads Golfers, is astonishing.
Even Superintendent A. H. Egan
who holds the guiding reins Of the
Louisville division can not issue
passes to persons not employed by
the road ard holders OF annual pass
es in Paducah have had to buy tick
cts this year for the first time il ma
ny years.
Recently a Paducah banker who
is intimately connected in a business
and social way with a high official
Of the Illinois Central, received a
telegram to meet the Official at Full
ton. He had to pay his own way
there and back Big contractors who
do thousands Of dollars worth of
work for the road monthly. can not
secure transportation gratis. and it
Is hard for them to get into the hab-
1t of paying for their passage.
When tho law passed by congress
went into effect the first of the year,
those holding passes winked at It,
but they soon realized 1t was meant
for business and no better demon
stration of the railroads uphoding Il
could be had than the experiences Of
annual pass holders since the New
Year came in.

Judge Reed Will Ex-
press His Opinion
in the Marke:maS=
ter Controversy in
the Morning
SEES ORDINANCE

Another "a hours will settle the
contention between the board of pub
lie works and the general council as
to the right to appoint marketmaster,
sewer inspector and wharfmaster, as
far as the circuit court can go. Both
sides have said they viii prosecute
the case to the court of appeals, in
which event the litigation will be
long drawn out, but this decision
viii decide the injunction, and put
one man in charge of the market
house and the sewers until the case
is finally adjudicated
Circuit Judge William Reed said
today that he has made up his mind
in the matter and will announce his
decision tomorrow morning. In this
case e. c. Bell was elected market
master and A. Bundesman sewer in
spector by the general council in
accordance with an ordinance pro-
viding for their election, and in &C
cordance with custom. Afterward
the board Of public works appointed
j. 2. Potter marketmaster and A.
FRANKIE sewer inspector. These two
nominally enjoined the councilman
tic appointees from acting.
No intimation is given as to
Judge Reeds decision. but a signih-
cant fact was his calling for a copy
Of the ordinance. under which the
general council acted. The board Of
public works contends That thu ordi-
nance is Of no avail and that the
marketmaster. wharfmaster and sew
err inspector are simply employees Of
the board of public works, not city
officials.
The ordinance was not quoted in
the petition and Judge Reed called
for it. The fact was a point appar-
emily in favor of the defendants.

alarm was struck by street car, Sc

HAS PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

In conformity with an intention
Expressed several months ago to his
intimate friends. and known to The
Sun, Prof e.. c. Iieb will resign the
superintendency of the Paducah pub
lie schools, effective at the end of the
present school year. Professor Lieb
will hand in his resignation to the

successor and not be compelled to
tale chances.
Professor Lieb's health has not
been of the best since coming here,
but he stayed a year longer than he
had at first intended not desiring to
leave the schools in the lurch. To his
friends he stated that he had intend
ed returning to the university and
taking higher degree after one
year Of work, but he changed his
plans. He has several plans In view,
one OF them being to accept pro
fessorship in college and study Cor
the degree; but he has not yet de-
cided on his course.
Professor Lieb is a scholarly gem
tleman. and one thoroughly honest
and enthusiastic in school work. He
has done much for the improvement
of the Paducah public schools, and
has been instrumental in securing a
general increase in salaries for the
teachers.
