DAMAGE Is DONE
BY HEAVY STORM
Wires Torn Down and Barns
UnroOted in This City and All
Over McCracken County By
Saturday Nights Wind.
EVERYTHING is REPAIRED.
Garter in Minneapolis Tribune.

A wind storm accompanied by a
heavy rain lasting fully half an hour,
visited Paducah and the lower end
|of the county Sunday morning be-
tween and 8 o'clock, and did con-
siderable damage to telephone and
telegraph wires, unroofed several
barns in the county, and blew down
"a number of trees. Binding flashes
of lightning lighted up the darkened
skies every few seconds, and so
heavy were the peals of thunder that
a report of an earthquake visitation
gained currency.
Every local and long distance tele-
phone line between Paducah and
Cairo went down, and all day Sunday
trouble men were out repairing
the damage. Telegraph poles were
razed, and wires grounded by trees
blown against the track. The Illinois
Central wires went down also from
trees being blown against them. Sew
Ieral barns were unroofed and at
Sixth and Terrell streets big barn
on property owned by Mr.. w. A
Gardner was blown down. By {
o'clock Sunday night telephone lines
were in good working order The
Illinois Central wires were cut in
again within few hours after the
storm.
Sunday night at o'clock another
short wind and rain storm blew owe
the city. Many pleasure seekers a
Wallace park started in on a Ions
fine of trailers to seek shelter a
home before the storm broke A ma
iority of them got soaked to the skin
The storm last night lasted but IF
teen minutes.

The trouble originated about 8
O'Clock between Clark and Conductor
James Keef, of car No. 9293. Clark
wished off at Seventh and Trimble
streets, but for some reason did not
get off when the car stopped. At the
Eighth street crossing, when Keef
went out to signal the car across, he
claims Clark assaulted him and
knocked him down.
Matlock interfered and he and
Clark fought, the latter being knock
ed down by Matlock Then 1t is
claimed by Matlock, that Clark seized
the switch bar. Clark could not be
found to get his side of the story.
