PETITION FROM THE
LOCAL MERCHANTS
II Is Rum0red Business Men Will Ask
Wesleyan Board to Change
Railing.

1t is rumored about town that
the merchants will, in the next few
days, petition the Board of Educa-
ton of Kentucky Wesleyan College
to reverse their decision of a few
days ago in regard to the athletics
at the College.
Kentucky Wesleyan is member
of the Inter Collegiate Football As
ISOLATION and according to the SEIZED
ule arranged by the Association
they were to have played a game
with Central University, at Dan
vile, Monday, but the Board of Ed
uCation refused to let them leave
town to play ball.
A result, athletics at the College
are dead. The merchants believe
that without athletics at the Col
lege, the attendance will decrease
and that consequently will keep a
great deal of money away from
here that otherwise would he spent
with the merchants. They believe
that the Board will look at the mat
ter in this light ard reverse their
decision.

TRAINS ARE Being RUSHED TO
MICHIGAN TO RELIEVE HUNDREDS
Governor Issues Proclamation Call
ing On People of State to
Contribute at Once.

Detroit, Mich, Oct 19-Reports
from the forest fire district of north
ern Michigan were fragmentarx but
there were indications of improve
ment in the general situation as far as
imminent danger to life ana property
was concerned. But as to the victims
who survived the destruction of their
homes and villages conditions are pitt
full in the extreme, with the likeli-
hood of greater distress and many
deaths from exposure in the event Of
sudden drop Of temperature falling
upon the half-clothed refugees camp
ed in boxcars and open fields.
Governor Fred NJ. Warner issued an
appeal to the people of Michigan for
contributions, and Mayor William B.
Thompson of Detroit has called a spe-
cial meeting of the common council
for tonight to consider the matter of
contributing relief.
The Detroit board Of commerce
held a meeting at the Detroit club to
arrange the details of shipping a pre-
liminary carload Of provisions and
beding north, and Governor Warner
has directed Adjutant General McGur-
rem Of the state troops to take the in
itiative in similar measures at Grand
Rapids. The Detroit & Mackinac
Railroad company has already sent a
d0znn rln dc nf icfn =
and hay into the burned district from
Bay City.
President ]. D. Hawks of the De-
troit &. Mackinac railroad received
word that forest fires were seriously
threatening the town Of Ossineke,
south of Alpena, on Thunder bay. Mr..
Hawks said that he had received no
reports from Alpena or Rogers City,
and he was confident he would have
heard something If the situation at
these points had not improved
Communication Established.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has uninterrupted communica-
ton with Alpena, and was able to do
business twice with Onaway, on the
far side Of the burned district. The
Western Union was also able to estab-
fish communication with Posen, in
the fire district. Long distance tele-
phone communication is good as far
north as East Tawas.
Quartermaster General w. ]. Rog-
ers Oft the state troops, who was sent
into the burned district to investigate
conditions, telegTaphed Governor
Warner that there was no need of
troops, as the fire situation was
greatly improved, temporarily at
least The immediate need, General
Rogers reported, was for bedding and
food for the refugees and fodder for
horses and cattle. Governor Warner
has already directed the sending of
several hundred blankets into the
burned district. and all the blankets
on hand in the armory of the state
troops at A,oena have bon forwarded

service, there was a large number
in attendance and there was great
deal of interest taken in the matter.
While the churches in Winches-
ter have always given literally for
charitable purposes. there has never
been an organization of any kind
to look after the needs of the poor
and to See that the money given
was put to the'best use. And with
the growing demand from the poor
for assistance from the churches it
was thought that an organization
of this kind here would do more
good than to let each church look
after its own.
A committee composed of the fol-
lowing members of the different
churohe were appointed to take the
matter up and look into the advisa
bliity of establishinging such an or
ganization here. J. W. Gay, j. T.

mittee will meet some time this

cage Church and is Konck-
ed Down by Victim.

chicago, Oct. 10. = An attempt tt
assassinate Rev. ]. NJ Fielding, pas
tor Of the Corpus Christi Roman Cath
olic church, was made by a would-be
assassin vho, after twice shooting at
the priest in the Sunday school hall
way Of the church and knocking down
scores Of children standing in his
way, ran into the street and escaped.
The shooting and the screams Of the
children created wild excitement in
one Of Chicagos most fashionable res
idence districts.
II was in the middle of the after
noon that the culprit attracted atten-
ion. He had been seen lettering in
and about the church, for some time
He was observed writing upon a sheet
of paper which he held against the
building. Folding the paper. he
placed it IN his pocket, and his &C
lions then became suspicious. The
police believe that the writing was an
explanation of his intended act and his
identity, which was to be found upon
his body in the event of his commit
ting suicide after killing the priest.
A letter Of similar purport was found
in the possession of Guise pc Ala,
who killed Father Leo Heinr:cks in
Denver during the church service a
short time ago.
Aroused by the mans actions, Faith
err Fielding approached him, saying,
What are you doing here?"
I'm praying" replied the stranger.
AS the priest turned his back the
stranger stepped into the hallway and
drew a revolver and pressed it against
his intended victim. Father Fielding
Immediately showed fight knocking
the weapon away Just in time to es-
cape bullet, which grazed his head
and clipped a lock of hair from his
temple
At the same time the priest knock
ed the culprit down by a blow on the
face. Hurriedly scrambllng to his
feet, the man continued down the
hallway, pushing and trampling over
the children. At the bottom Of the
stairway he turned and fired another
Intellectual shot at the priest, and
then, still brandishing the revolver,
ran into the street. A dozen children.
accompanied by Father Fielding, ran
in pursuit, and were joined by a
crowd of enraged citizens, but the
man escaped.
The man Is described as being
about 80 years old, roughly dressed,
and was evidently either a Greek or
an Italian. Corpus Christi church in.
cludes in its membership some of the
wealthiest Roman Catholics in the
city.
