STRANGE ACTION
OF STRANGE MAN
CAUSES TERROR

Some unknown white man after
trying 10 enter the home of Mrs. Mat
tie McClane, AIS Norton street, last
night, made a lunge at Ella Pitman,
n5 years old. but he failed to seize
her. Two hours later the unknown
man made two other attempts TO
gain entrance to the home, but his
efforts were foiled.
Ella Pitman, of Metropolis, who is
visiting here, and Hattie McClane, IA
years old, were alone last night, as
Mrs. McClane was visiting a neigh
bor. The girls heard peculiar noises
at the kitchen door. but thought some
boys were "ticktacking," and the
girls went to the front porch. Miss
Pitman leaned over and looked along
the side of the house. The man
sprang out of the dark and grabbed
at her but the screams of the two
girls frightened him. Patrolmen
Moore and Morris went 10 the home
but could not find the man.
Two hours later some one tried to
enter the house a second time. and a
thorough search was mad OF the
premises. The wood house was
searched. a man jumped from on the
roof aud escaped by jumping several
fences. The police failed TO get a
shot at him. u

THE STATIONS
Have Been Doing Great Salvation
Work Here.

Since the arriv"l of Captain and
Mrs. Arthur f. Stanton. the officers
in charge of the Salvation Army work
here, they have been busy and ag-
gressive. From September 30 to this
date they have conducted 60 street
services. each being largely attended,
and to accomplish this great work
they have invaded the following
streets: Fourth and Broadway, First
and Broadway. Second and Kentucky
avenue, Norton and Third. Norton
and Fourth. Elizabeth and Sixth,
Third and Broadway, Second and
Broadway, Fourth and Broad street
Tennessee street near railroad, and
Trlmble and Tenth street. Besides
these they have conducted several
jail and tent meetings. These figures
are far below the Stanton family
records in other places. owing to
their suffering from throat trouble
since coming to Paducah. They have
kept continuously before the public,
have preached to thousands of men
and women that go nowhere else 10
hear the gospel. The STATIONS are a
wonder to the citizens. How they
are able to stand the great strain up
on them in their many and lengthy
street services. Besides this they, in
the last two months have given
through self-denial and self-sacrlfice
to do the following relief among the
needy poor and outcast: Garments
supplied, So; meals given, 81; lodg-
ing. 2; car fares given TO needy per
sons, 3.
Amid all this the workers seem TO
be as aggressive as ever. always smil-
ing and ready with kind word for
all they meet. Paducah has received
spiritual blessing in their coming and
this coming winter many families
doubtless will be made glad and
cheerful by the presence of Captain
and Mrs Stanton, as they go forth
in cold and sleet on their great mis-
sion of mercy and love.
