SEVEN-YEAR-OLD
BOY A THIEF
youNesTER coNFEssEs TO Sc
RIEs OF Ro55ERIEs.
Employed Little Negro To Carry on
Booty.-Escapes From
Police Chief.

LEXINGTON, KY. Aug. A sharp
faced white boy about seven years old,
who gave mis- name as Tommie Met
calf. was arrested by Detective John
Nercalf tonight on a charge of grand
larceny The infantile criminal con-
fessed when questioned to having
stolen a dozen boxes of fine suspenders
from AIDES store on Mill street, near
Water street and had half a dozen
boxes of the stolen goods in his arms
and was peddling them at 81 a box
when he was arrested. Each of the
boxes contained about a dozen pairs
of fine suspenders worth about 81 a
pair and the young merchant was do
ing brisk business.
The boy was not daunted when ar
rested and seemed to take pride in
the audacity of his crime. He said he
had hired a little negro about his own
age and that they took turns about
sneaking in the back door of the store
and carrying out the boxes of suspend
ers, their diminutive height making
them invisible to the clerks behind
the counters. He said he paid the
little negro a nickel day and said he
had a lot of more boxes hid away. The
boy said that he lived in Pralltown, but
refused to give his parents names.
The criminal prodigy was taken into
the room of Chief of Detectives
Brown and Chief of Police Reagan
came in to look at the curiosity. While
the two chiefs, were talking about
him the little fellow quietly slipped out
the door and scudded up Water street
like a rabbit The chiefs got a
glimpse of the fugitive as he disap-
peared out the door and set out in
pursuit After a hot chase for two
blocks in which the two dignified Of
fcials showed keen speed, Chief
Brown caught the youngster.

and that he, as chairman of that com
mittee, wanted his orders carried out
by the police.
Alderman Collier thought that he
was in a measure responsible for the
passage of the ordinance referred to
by Mr.. fowler; that he thought at the
time he was doing it for the good OF
the city. and that the Mayor con.
Cured in that opinion at the time
and signed the ordinance in good
faith as he thought and without sug-
costing any objections.
Nothing was doing" how ever, but
talk" and on motion the Board adj
journed.
After the meeting was over, a Her
| aid reporter inquired in police circles
concerning the matter, and from what
he could learn it seems that the trou-
Bile first arose last year about some
women in East>End. There had been
an order issued prohibiting any more
Of their sort from coming
here during the fair, and to
forbid those here from coming and
going and taking advantage of Fair
rates. The Mayor, it is said, counter
manded the order and allowed the
demimonde to come and go as they
pleased. That was overlooked and
up until recently there has not been
much trouble. But recently a man by
the name of John Adkins was ar
rested for vagrancy and fined. The
fine, it is said, was paid by one of the
EAST End women. and Adkins was or
dered to leave town, but refusing to
do so he was again arrested. and this
time the Recorder refused to take the
woman as security and Adkins was
placed on the streets, and 1t is stated
by the police that they were instruct i,
ed by the Mayor to "let him get away"
At the same time he was placed on
the street, the City Marshall was in
to serve notice on the woman
that she would either have to clear
out of Columbia or she would be ar
rested. The City Marshall stated that
he carried out this order, and that tie

WINCHESTER, Tenn, Aug. LIN
the municipal election today, which
was the hottest the town has had in
many years, Jesse M. Littleton was
elected Mayor over the incumbent, N.
w. Carter, by IA majority. Mayor
Garter has held the place for three
terms and has been considered invinci-
BILE, having defeated two very popu-
lar men heretofore Mr.. Littleton en-
tered the contest against the advice
of his friends, who did not at first
believe he could win over so popular
a man as Carter.
The town owns water and electric
light plant now worth at least $780,
OOO and the Mayor is the whole thing
in the management of the plant under
the new law. MayOr-elect L.ttleton
promises some vigorous work along
the line OF street improvements and
more efficient water and light service.
He was the recipient of many congrat-
ulations and among other things said:

FELL FROM
THIRD STORY
or RED SEAL BAKERY BUILDING.
DOWN THE ELEVATOR SHAFT,
A DISTANCE or NEARLY
THIRTY-FIvE FEET.

Lee Blair, one Of the bakers at the
Red Seal Bakery. fell from the third
story OF the building down the eleva-
tor shaft. distance of nearly 80 feet,
Sunday morning at eleven o'clock.
Blair was only slightly bruised about
the face, but was rendered uncOn-
scious for some time by the shock of
the fall. The shaft is only four feet
square and the elevator was in the
basement, the beam of which divided
the opening in half, and there is a
possibility of the man falling through
that small space without getting hurt
more than he was. Late Sunday even
ing Blair talked about the accident,
and stated that he was up on the third
floor packing bread, and that as he
started back in the direction of the
elevator his foot hit against some
thing and he started falling and could
not catch himself, but that he remem-
bered something hitting him in the
face as he went down. II
One of the bakers on the second
hod' said that he saw Blair falling
and that he was turning somersaults
as he passed the second floor, and that
his heels hit one side of the floor.
Blair was picked up and carried to
his room in the Brown building, where
he was examined by physicians, who
pronounced him not dangerous, only
shocked by the fall.
Mr.. Blair is the only son of Mr..
Tohn Blair, of this city, is thirty-eight
ears of age, and unmarried. He had
,nly come home in the spring from
where he had been at work,
