BICYCLE THIEF is
OPERATING in CITY

There is a bicycle thief operating
in Paducah, and the police are trying
to catch the fellow guilty of the
thefts. Last night three wheels were
stolen from owners who had left
them for few minutes. Rowlin
Thomas lost his wheel, which had a
coaster brake, and J. B. Snider found
his wheel missing when he went to
return home last night. A. J. Bam-
berg was the third man to report
that his wheel had been stolen.
The police have been given a good
description of the bicycles. and hope
to have the thief in the tolls OF the
law The thief's game is to watch a
rider dismount his wheel and walk
away. The thief then gets on and
rides the wheel off, while no one sus-
poets he is stealing the wheel.

Benton. Ky, June 16. Especial IL
Revealing the secrets of conspiracy
to raid Birmingham. Otis Blick, a
young white man, made a confession
this afternoon in the trial of Burnett
Phelps and told the whole story of
the raid in simple language. To back
up his story he produced mask
which had a hole through It, and a
scar on his shoulder showed where
he had been struck by bullet. For
protection Blick has been in camp
with the soldiers at Murray. The
confession was secured by Common
wealth's Attorney John G. Lovett,
who made a fearless fight in probing
the raid 10 the bottom.
According to his story Blick said
the party was advancing on the home
OF John Scruggs. who was killed by
the raiders. to take out some negroes
and whip them. While advancing
on the negroes shots were fired and
Blick fell with a wound in his shout
der. The alleged riders responded
with a volley and John Scruggs was
killed. He told of the raiders being
divided into three squads, and that
each member was assessed 10 cents
with which to buy black cloth to
make masks.
Before the raid Blck said that a
meeting was held and an oath was

would never be revealed, and the
traitors were TO be killed. According
to his statement Burnett Phelps, DR..
John Champion, of Lyon county, and
Sam Colly were elected captains and
led the raid on the negroes.
The mask has been in the posses
sion of Commonwealth Attorney
Lovett and was secured soon after the
indictments were returned.
