People inquiring about the sol
diers, who were so plentiful on
Broadway yesterday. might take no.
tlce of the unusual number of swell
dressed strange youths, who parade
Broadway with no apparent object
except to kill time. About 10 O'Clock
this morning khaki clad detail
marched down Broadway toward the
Belevdere hotel, bearing haversacks,
canteens and dress suit cases. Soon
thereafter well groomed youths in
summer clothes strutted forth from
the hotel and the number of soldiers
in Paducah dwindled perceptibly
The arrival of the soldiers citizens

Murray. Ky. April 90. Especially
-Rumors on the streets of Murray
this morning that soldiers killed three
men along the Tennessee river last
night were hastily denied this morn
/ ing by county officials before they had
become well circulated. The rumors
found basis In the fact that the mount
ed patrol has been re-establishcd in
the east side of Galloway. where all
the indictments for night riding so
| far have been found. Some uneasi-
mess caused by show of returning
animation on the part of the night
riders, as the time approaches for
choosing a petit jury. made the Off
GERS think IL advisable to make anoth-
er demonstration of force. They do
not intend to afford the night riders
an opportunity TO get together. Just
ears to prompt their action is not
divulged. County officials say only
that 1t is wise to show them that an
armed force is still present.
II is suggested that some secret
c0nclaves have been held. and some
lwarrtngs sent out To intimidate the
lpopulace. The troopers will stop all
riding on the highways at night,
while the patrol along the river bank
will intercept communication with
ITrlgg county and prevent an invasion.
Witnesses are still guarded in their
homes. General Roger Williams and
Major Alhrecht are still at Murray
this morning. The general is ac-
quaintlng himself with the situation
and he absolutely declines to say any
thing that pertains 10 the subject of
soldiers or night riders. but II is be-
lieyed that some of the forty or more
soldiers stationed here viii be with
drawn. and that an armed force will
patrol Trlgg county to arrest rugitiyes
from Galloway and probably put the
finishing touches TO the work of Sc
cret service men.
The Soldiers.
People in Galloway, in a position
TO judge the attitude of the state
administration and measure somewhat
the authority OF General Williams to
exercise his own discretion believe
that protests from citizens OF Trigg
county will have no weight whatever.
They have the facts before them. and
know exactly what they wish to ac-
cpmplish by every move they make,
