In Paducah."
Watts made the above statement
with a view to shielding himself as
much as possible. He himself killed
his father, it was believed. and Mfs.
Brooks so testified.
The Watts trial aroused a great deal
of interest and people flocked from
far and near to see the famous ban
dit. When the trial was called, how.
ever. the sheriff appeared without his
prisoner and informed the Judge that
he had been unable to induce Watts
to leave his cell, and that Watts had
said he would kill any person who at
tempted to take him into court
The jail was an old-fashioned stone
one. and the doors leading into the
cells were only about two and one
half feet wide and four feet high.
therefore a person above four feet In
height was obliged to stoop on enter
ing or leaving. There was an old
fashioned wooden bedstead in eacn
cell and Watts had torn his bedstead
to pieces that morning and had taken
of one of its legs. which was about
three feet long and four inches
square and of heavy hardwood. He
was a powerful man and had declared
his intention Of killing any person
attempting to enter his cell. He
defied the sheriff or any of his officers
to enter.
After the Judge had listened to the
sheriff's report he summoned me to
him.
"Mr. Furlong." he said, you arrest
ed this man in Illinois and brought
him to Brookville. Now I deputize
you to go to the Jail and bring in
Wess Watts. the prisoner. to this bar
as soon as possible"

the center of his cell armed with his
big club. tried in vain to induce him

Finally turned to the sheriff.
How long will it take you to heat
a few gallons of water to a boil?"
| asked In a low tone.
There was a quantity Of boiling wa
ter on hand in the kitchen. A tin
wash-boiler was secured and about
five gallons were put into it. The
boiler of water was carried to the
door of Watts cell. A big. hurley
deputy sheriff named Glover Smith
was armed with an axe handle and
placed at one side of the cell door
while l stood at the other. and, dip
ping up a dipper full Of the boiling
water threw the contents at Watts
striking him on the breast. Two more
dippers full followed. and with yell
Watts sprang for the door. He wal
obliged to stoop to make his exit. and
as he did Smith felled him uncon
scious with the axe handle. In few
minutes he was restored to conscious
ness and remained perfectly tract

Watts showed no further signs o.
obduracy from that moment until hi
was landed safely in the state
prison at Allegheny for q long term.
It may be added that on the morn

tanned the papers when he pretended
to be taken Ill at st. Louis. The ter
rible reputation Of the man rendered
him almost secure except against

pneumonia frequently attacks those

creased virulence of the organism or
to other causes is unexplained. 1t is,
however recognized that avoidance OF
the factors so briefly enumerated will
in large part diminish individual sus-

The recent tropical storm which
ragged through the East and South
resulted in some loss of life and
wrought much damage to crops.
It is estimated that over million
acres of corn from Knoxville to
Paducah have been destroyed by
water, which, in many instances,
surpasses the food of 1900. A
cloud burst occurred in Virginis,
where the most lives were lost and
the damage to crops and property
in that State is estimated at &c.
100000. In Benton County many
thousands of dollars worth of corn
in the rich lowlands of Tennessee
River has been lost. This is in
deed hard blow for many Of our
farmers, for it has required the
hardest OF work and good judgment
to make crop this year and even
then some of the best land on our
creeks has not been planted. The
outlook is gloomy for our farmers,
and we sympathize with them and
hope it is not too late to utilize this
land for stock peas and other le-
gnnes.
