TROUBLES TROUBLE THOMAS
RILEY AND LEAD TO ARRESTS

Troubles come In batt!llions for
Thomas Riley, farmer residing on
the Pool road several miles from the
city. Last week he and his wife
Amanda Riley, had a dlfficulty, and
he was arrested by Constable Shell
ton and his trial set before Magis-
trate Charles Emery for next Thurs
day. His wife filed suit for divorce
and $1,000 alimony alleging cruel
treatment. Yesterday Riley made an
effort to have a reconciliation, and
held a conference with Mrs. Riley
but instead OF calm another storm
was raised. Deputy Sheriff Gus
Rogers was notified by telephone
that man had killed a woman and
after cutting of her arm had thrown
II in the woods. He hurried TO the
scene and found that Riley had used
a knife but made only scratch on
her arm. He was arrested again and
his second trial was set for next Sat

Jas. Stroud K ills EsVeH
Pace With Bat Sunday

Hardin, Ky, Aug. 16. Especially
Struck over the head with base
ball bat, Ewell Pace, 16 years old,
was killed late Saturday afternoon
by James Stroud, following a dispute
during a baseball game between the
Hardin and Flint Springs teams.
Both are sons of prominent people
and the killing caused much excite
ment. After the trouble Stroud es-
capped. Pace died within n short time
after the blow as his skull was
crushed.
Stories vary about the killing, but
the accepted story of the trouble Is
that Stroud was justifable although
friends of the dead boy claim that
the murder was the aggressor. Con
siderable rivalry exists between the
Flint Springs and Hardin baseball
teams, and Saturday afternoon a
game was scheduled between the two
mines. The two players began teas
ing each other, and later grew
angry and abusive. A young woman
who saw the fight, said Stroud struck
Pace while Pace was advancing upon
him with a knife, having already
slashed Stroud on the arm twice

TEMPERS WEATHER
The Thermometer Reaches
the Highest Point OF the
Summer.
Folks Seek Country in All
Kinds OF Vehicles.
1T is VERY HOT AGAIN TODAY

Sweltering humanity was offered
some relief early this morning when
the heavens opened and doused the
earth with a cooling rain. Sunday
afternoon at 1880 O'Clock a rain fell,
but the shower soon ceased, and af-
forwards the heat was felt more by
many people. Ii was the hottest
day, as the official mercury climbed
up the ladder to 80 degrees. Fully
as accurate instruments located in
other parts of the city registered
the century mark. In every nook
and corner ii was hot, and Padueah-
ans hesitated about looking at the
mercury for fear of the suggestion
affect.
! From reports, Paducah was for
tunate in securing the rains as all
parts of the Purchase were not so
blessed. Cairo was dusty today with
not drop of water. Saturday
heavy rain fell about Nortonville.
The highest registered yesterday
was 90, while the lowest was 10.
The rainfall was .2S of an inch.
Early this morning the weather was
pleasant, but after old Sol peeped
over the horizon things warmed up.
The prediction of the weatherman is:
Generally fair tonight and Tues
day."
Few people we're moving yester-
day afternoon as the citizens gener-
ally we're content to remain at
home. In the evening the auto own
ers were busy, and in fact every form
of vehicle was brought into commits
sion in order to get few breaths of
cool air. The traction company
fhanvd many people, and walIacs
ipark was well crowded.

Police Judge d. A. Cross and was
fined IS aud no costs. He paid his
fine and vamoosed.
He was placed under arrest after
an encounter with Police Sergeant
Lige Gross Saturday night at Second
and Kentucky avenue and locked up.
Officer Gross found him in a drunken
condition and asked him to move on.
Later Devinne used profanity and
attacked the sergeant who accident
ally struck him on the head. The
News-Democrat attributed Mr.. Cross
of striking Devinne Intentionally,
saying How many blows were
struck while he was on the ground
is not known" which has incensed
Mr.. Gross and Chief Collins.
In speaking OF the trouble Ser
geant Cross said: 81 found Devinne
asleep on Kentucky avenue near
Second street about IL o'clock. I
picked him up and seeing that he
could walk and take care Of himself
told him to go some place else and
sleep his jag of. He started and /
walked to the corner, and was watch
ing a crowd of negroes when De
vinne walked to the corner and used
some bad language. I told him he
must stop then, but he continued and
started to take him to the police
station, when he GRABBED my coat,
tearing of button and tearing my
shirt. / grabbed my club and in
tended to mock his arm loose, but
accidentally struck him a light blow
above the eye, cutting a small cash.
He made a second lunge, and l hit
him across the head, which subdued
him, and we went to the police sta
ton. Later after placing him in a
cell Devinne apologized TO me. and
said he must have acted ugly"
II is said that when Devinne
sobered up the next morning he i'm
mediately confessed to being guilty
and willingly paid the fine, leaving
town Immediately.
A patrolman stated today that no
one would believe the false state
ments that Sergeant Gross pounded
Devinne over he head Intentionally
with the end of a billiard cue. Chief
Collins in referring to the trouble
said that the morning paper had
placed Mr.. Gross in the wrong light
and its statements were false.
