MEN FRGhTENED away
BY WOMAN CALLING OUT
Two Men Seen on Top Of Auto Garage
In Rear Of T. A. Keith Residence
In Third Street.

The forms Of two men were seen on
the roof Of an out-building in the rear
Of the Thomas A. Keith home in Third
street at a late hour last night by
Mrs. Keith. She called out the WIN
dow to the men and they hurriedly
came down from the building and
made their escape down the alley. The
police department was notified but by
the time the officers had arrived the
men had made their getaway and left
no clues upon which the police might
work.
1t is supposed that the men were en-
deavoring to gain an entrance into
the Hechinger or Merz Brothers
building from the rear and were on
the top Of the out-building in an .ef-
fort to get onto one of these build
ings.
Police are fthe opinion that the
men were local men for had they been
professional thieves, the police say,
they would hardly have made their
selves so plainly seen from the ad-
joining buildings by climbing to the
roof Of the clubhouse. Police are 60
ing into the matter very carefully and
hope to unravel something that will
give them a clue to the supposed
thieves.

DETECTIVES START RAID
ON COAL HEAvING HERE
Colored Man Is Held TO Grand Jury
Under $500 Bond for Stealing Coal
From Common Carrier.

For the past two or three days three
members Of the c. & o. railroad de-
tectiye force have been busily engaged
In running down persons who have
been "heaving" coal from passing
freight trains. For time little at
tention had been paid to this matter
until It is learned the stealing has de-
veloped into a serious matter wherein
the railroad company is losing heavily
from most every freight train that
passes through Maysville.
Elmer Scott, colored, better known
as Sleeping Jesus" was arrested last
night by Officers Mitchell, Stewart and
Allen and this morning was taken be-
fore Squire Fred w. Bauer on a
charge of stealing from common
carrier. He was caught In the act by
the officers and admitted his guilt.
Squire Bauer then held Scott for
grand jury investigation and placed
his bail at $500, which he was unable
to give and he was taken to the county
Jail to await the meeting of the next
grand jury.
officers, 1t is learned, have instruc-
tions to tighten down" on coal steal
ing all along the railroad line and it
is expected many arrests will follow
this beginning.

S16.78 IS AVERAGE
ON LOCAL MARKET
FOR FIRST WEEK
Supervisors Report Shows That Near.
ly Two Million Pounds Was Sold
During First Week of
Sales.

Supervisor William Mitchell, of the
Maysville looselsaf market, announced
today that during the first week of the
market ended on Friday, all ware
houses had sold a total of 1,742,4S5
pounds at general average of s16.7S
per hundred pounds.
Mr.. Mitchell said that the market
was in better shape on Friday than it
had been during the season and that
it was steady for the entire day indi-
eating that it had found leval. The
uncertainty of the forepart of the
week was attributed by the Super
visor to the fact that the tobacco on
the floors was dry and did not show
up to an advantage having been on
the floors for several days. He pre-
dicted satisfactory sale for next
week.
