revolver which knocked against his

the last moment, however, just as he
was about to plant his feet upon solid
earth. he was halted by two men who
rose from bench where they had been

The Black Hawk was with the
Eagle Packet company's fleet at the
mouth of the Tennessee. in what has
always been regarded as a perfectly
safe place. Never in the history of
steamboating have boats been in ser

point. When Captain Walter A. Blair

trouble at Paducah. he called up that
city and conversed with his agent
there, finding that the worst reports
Were true. He already had word OF
the sinking of the big southern eXcur-
sion steamers, the Spread Eagle and
the Alton. What the fate of the other
boats will be is not known. The hope
for some of them lies in the fact that
if they had steam up, they would soon
have elbow room in the broader wat
ers of the Ohio and might not only
save themselves but help in saving

OF PICKPOCKETS AT

Many of the registrants called for
physical examination today under the
seiective draft law. wondered why a
patrolman walked slowly up and down
The hall of the local exemption offices
this morning. keeping an eagle eye
peeled at all times.
Upon inquiry it was learned that
pickpockets were busy on Monday
among the registrants called on that
date. and that various sums of money
and other valuables were reported
stolen. No one is allowed in the board
examination rooms except those
called, so the guilt has been fixed upon
some of the draft men.
Patrolman Mccarthy was placed on
duty at the board offices today to pre-
vent repetition of such acts.

The Milan auxiliary chapter Of the

George Buck, an auctioneer of Mo-
line, has made the chapter an offer of
his services. He also offered hog
which he bought at recent sale, for
the benefit of the village chapter. Mr..
Bucks plan is to conduct sale in the
village, the proceeds of which will go
to the Milan organization. The sale
will be of all kinds of farm produce
and any other articles which are sala-
Bile. Mr.. Buck has been associated
with several money raising schemes
about this territory, but he stated
that he had not noticed Milan doing
very much toward the aid of the Red
Cross Although some of the village
people have been doing their best,
. there are many more who have not
been This should not be if the town
is to keep its reputation as the best
workers. At the headquarters in Rock

Milan has turned in the best work on
pajamas and bandages of any OF the
