No action has been taken by the
general council in regard to the 49,

ginning of the year and estimated
in the budget; but the council board
instructed City Solicitor Campbell to

Painter Considers Beauty Of
More Consequence Than
Leg.
So. His Nose is Attended 10
First.
LIFE is SAVED Bf MIRACLE.

After an unbroken fall OF 100 feet
from the top oft he water company
standpipe TO the ground, G. j. Muir
ray, 39 years old, a painter from Me-
ltropohs, ILL.,, lives TO tell the tale,
and with good prospects for his re-
eovery.
Murray fell from the standpipe of
the Paducah Water company this
morning at IL O'Clock when a rope
Isuspending him in the air, snapped.
His left leg is fractured, his nose
bruised, and he sustained numerous
minor scratches over his body. but he
lis thought not to have suffered
severe internal injuries.
Murray IL unfortunate, as he
started to work this morning, but is
one of the nerviest patients that was
ever admitted to Riverside hospital.
Within few minutes after he struck
the ground he smoked a cigaret, and
"joshed," the spectators who rushed
to the scene, expecting to find the
ranged form of dead painter.
When the fracture of his leg was
reduced Murray continued to puff on
a cigaret and refused to take an an
esthetic.
Wanted a Cigaret.
Murray this morning accepted the
contract for painting the standpipe OF
the water company. and began work.
He started at the top of the pipe and
lall went we'll until within 100 feet of
the ground; then the rope snapped,
and Murray fell. People on the
streets saw Murray fall to the earth,
and rushed to the scene. When MUIR
lay hit the ground he was still con-
scious, and his first request was for
to make him a cigaret,
which he smoked
When DIR. Stewart began to ex-
anime his leg Murray calmly said:
Look here. Doc, leave by leg alone
and work on my nose first, | don't
want my beauty spoiled"
Murray described his descent as
follows: 81 felt myself falling and
said to myself wonder II that
niger has let go of that rope. Then
though | was going up. Then
looked down and that ground was
rushing to me. Gee, but | must have
made a hole in that groundi Bout
that time Big Andy Stewart rushed
up ami said, Are YOU hurt?'
Now that's a foolish question TO
ask me. Here make me a cigaret.
After fall like that a fellows got
a right to smoke"
The explanation of Murray's
miraculous escape from death is that
his descent was checked for an in
slant just before he reached the
ground. When he started to work
this morning he employed a negro to
assist him. A fire was made on the
ground and the rope was permitted to
remain to close to the fire and 1t
was weakened. As he was lowered
to work the rope was drawn up and
when the strain was placed on the
burnt section OF the rope II snapped.
Within a short distance from the
ground the rope ca~ght on the pulley
for an instant and Murray hit little
easier than he would otherwise.
While in bed at the hospital. Muir
ray was smoking a cirgaret and said:
This isn't so bad, II could only
eat Christmas turkey at home"
