The affidavit will be sent to Gov
Deneen, of Illinois, by Browning
When Detective Moore went to Muir
physboro to bring Hunt to this city,
where Tom arren is held for the
murder, the Illinois officials contend
ed that the murder charge against
Hunt in Paducah was a blind and that
there was not just cause for the ac,
cusation against him.
According to special from Eliza
BEETHOVEN, Hunt operated in Hardin
county in 1906. and was sentenced
to 10 years in the penitentiary for
l bold robbery committed in Eliza
BEETHOVEN and was afterwards paroied
During the fair of that year he snatch
ed the pocketbook of travelling man
containing $50, clipped his diamond
stud and tore his way out OF the
crowd with officers at his heels. He
jumped into dairymans buggy anc
at the point of gun forced him To
whip up the horse carrying them, but
was finally oyertaken and brought to
trial.
He was convicted and given the
limit, and was waiting an appea
when he made desperate attempt t.
escape from jail by assulting the
taller. His plan failed while a later
one to bore hole through the wal
was foiled by fellow prisoners.

Cairo People Should Learn to Detect

cur and the victim is often weighed
down by a feeling of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings and
there is danger of dropsy, BrightS

these symptoms is warning enough to
begin treating the kidneys at once
