Robert Huddleson's Barn Burned.

The farm barn of Robert W. Huddle-
son, situated near the mouth of Little
Hickory creek, in Hickory township, was
completely DESTROYED by fire which
broke out rather mysteriously between
eight and nine o'clock last Saturday night.
A two-year-old and yearing heifer were
burned to death in the barn, and Mr..
Huddleson also lost all of his corn, hay,
straw, feed and cutting box. A COW
escaped from the burning barn through
her own efforts. Mr.. Huddleson places
his loss at $500, on which there was no
insurance, and the loss is heavy one to
him. He cannot account for the fire and
thinks it may have been SET by tramps.
AS was his usual custom he had done his
chores before dark and there had been no
light or fire of any kind about The build
ing. When discovered about nine o'clock
the fire had gained such headwsy that
nothing could be saved

1910, under the leadership of DR.. w. w.
Serrill and DR.. II. l.. Davis as captains.
The hunt was closely contested, as DR..
Serrill's side had 1855 points while DR..
Davis side had 354 points, the leading
side winning by the narrow margin of
one point. The largest count was made
by Joe Wolfe, he having l25 points to his
mention must be made to the king of
blue Jay exterminators, A. l.. Weller.
He bagged nine blue jays and rabbit
This is the third year for the hunt and ii
is looked forward to as most exciting
day. The losers entertained the winners
in fine supper, which was served at the
Kingsley House.
Last Saturday morning Nelson Buys,
a Franklin lad, aged l5 years met with a
irightful cunning accident. He had
gone out early in the morning to hunt
rabbits, accompanied by his dog. He
was walking along on the Gurney farm
when he stumbled over his dog. In
some manner the gun was discharged as
he fell and the entire charge entered his
right arm near the shoulder, making a
terrible wound. Realizing that he was in
danger of b leeding 10 death the nervy lad
walked to his home, half mile away,
and fell fanting from loss of blood into
the arms of his relatives. Physicians
were summoned and the boy was taken
to the hospital, where the arm was ampu-
taled at the shoulder. Notwithstanding
the serious nature of his wounds the lad
is in fair way to recover.

Reunion in Southern City
Intensifies the Mystery Of
Pool Road Murder in This
City April 10.

Luther (Red) Thompson. sup
posed victim of the Pool road muir
der here April 10. is alive.
His mother recognized him wher
he arrived at her home, 127h
South Twentieth street, Birming
ham. Ala, at IL o'clock last night
and admits she made a mistake In
the identity of the body she saw in
Paducah.
The mystery Is deepened by this
revelation, and the circumstantial
evidence woven around Bert Guire
and Albert Hale. the youths con-
fined in the McCracken county jail,
assumes the texture of cobwebs.
They were unfortunately in the city
at the time and Guire was an ac-
quaintance of Luther (Red) Thomp-
son.
The identity of the unfortunate
youth, who is buried at New De-
catur, Ala. may never be known,
and the manner of his death may
go down in the annals of unsJlved
crimes.
A Birmingham special to The
Evening Sun today said that the
boy, accompanied by Cures brother,
arrived at Birmingham last night at
10 o'clock and went directly to the
home of Mrs. Thompson. The woman,
who was absolutely convinced that
she had buried her son, admitted
that her caller resembled him, but
she hesitated, fearful to give mental
consent to what her eyes told her,
until the boy recounted incidents in
his early life, named the members
of the family and told little familiar
bits of family history that no one
but they two knew.
The mother was too overcome to
make much of demonstration, said
Mr.. Wiley. who witnessed the, meet
ing. They are together today.

what Mrs. Thompson's mistake
caused in Paducah. but not knowing
how to go about IT,
Attorney David Browning. coun-
sci for Bert CURE and Albert Hale,
Immediately upon being informed by
The Evening Sun that the boy was
identified as Luther Thompson,
wired Mr.. Wiley to instruct Mrs.
Thompson to inform Common
wealth's Attorney John G. Lovett by
wire of the fact.
