The first real freeze of the sea-

a blue whistler from the North
caused quite a fall in the tempera-
ture, and ice was plentiful the
following morning.

Jett is a natural “pill roller” that it comes to Paducah and that
and “drink mixer.” This gift
has been handed down to him for
many generations. He can trace
his genealogy of his “on-spring”
and “off-spring” back even be-
fore the days of Adam and old
Mother Eve. As far back as he
goes he finds expert “pill roll-
ers” and “professional drink-
mixers.” He is a regular “he-
man” at anything he undertakes,
and has been known to crawl
through a thousand-volt dynamo
in order to accomplish his pur-
pose. He is mild in his habits.
He never “chaws” anything
stronger that Erice Grenville,
smokes Big Bale tobacco, and can
stand at his place of business on
the west side of the square and
spit over the court house. His
favorite drink is bichloride of
Mercury, well mixed with nitric
eid. In other words, Jett is very
mperate. Politically, he stands
00 per cent for Andy Gump.
Like Andy, he believes in wear-
ing no man's collar, and that's
just the reason the Patrol had
better side-step and give him a
wide berth when he lands in
Amarillo. Jett has personally in-

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—The
fight to oust the Ku Klux Klan in
Kansas will be continued, Govern-
or Henry J. Allen announced
Thursday, despite the defeat of
tlie Republican gubernatorial can-
didate, taken in some circles as a
repudiation of thtf attack on the
‘.‘Invisible Empire.”
Governor Allen said he had or-
dered Att&najM8eneral Hopkins
to learn the identity of klan offi-
cials in the State and to proceed
against them immediately through
injunction and other legal moves.
Refusing to give an opinion of
what effect he believed the klan
issue had on the results of the
election, Governor Allen said he
believed a combination of condi-
tions and circumstances caused
the Nation-wide back swing.
Inquisitiveness never gets the
better of a person. It is always
the worst.

WAS SHOT TWICE WITH 380
AUTOMATIC CAUSING
QUICK DEATH
Last Friday afternoon at about
3:00 o’clock, Wood Barton was
killed by C. B. Berry on the
sidewalk at the First National
Bank. Berry fired two shots, one
taking effect in the heart while
the other struck at the pit of the
stomach. Barton only took a few
steps before he fell, and it was
only some thirty minutes after-
ward when he died. Berry im-
mediately surrendered to Sheriff
Patterson and was placed under
bond for appearance at the ex-
amining trial, which will likely
come up today.
The circumstances of the imme-
diate trouble seems to be un-
known. Howevervtt is is known
that Barton and Berry had been
having some difficulty over a set-
tlement that seems to have grown
out of some cotton pickers that
Barton let Berry have! It is re-
ported by other parties that they
had had some words on other oc-
casions, one of which times was
in the Campbell barber shop
about a week before the tragedy.
IN RECEIVERS’ HANDS
Houston, Texas, Nov. 9.—Gen
try Bros.’ shows, now in winter
headquarters in Houston, went in
to the hands of a receiver Wed-
nesday with the appointment of
J. B. Austin, 324 Preston Avenue,
as receiver, made by Judge W. E.
Monteith in Sixty-First District
Court.
The suit for receivership was
filed by the Kansas City Terminal
Trust Company, which held three
notes of $4,000 each against the
company. Interest and attorneys
fees are said to bring the present
total debt to $20,000.
J. D. Newman, owner of a con-
trolling interest in the shows,
blamed the difficulties on high
railroad rates and the recent
strike. He said the shows were
often compelled to stop at places
during the strike where there was
insufficient patronage, while the
cost of moving the entourage over
the country had greatly increased,
he explained.

The fastest foot ball game that
was ever staged by the Paducah
High School was that or last
Saturday when Lubbock met the
Invineibles on the local field.
The score was 34 to 0 in favor of
Paducah.
Despite the fact that Lubbock
had the best team that has ever
met the boys on the local field,
the game was easily Paducah’s
from the very beginning. Padu-
cah made two touchdowns in the
first quarter, with goal kicks fol-
lowing each touchdown. From
then on the Paducah lads seemed
to, make gains as they wished.
Two of the most spectacular plays
of the game was when Christian
gave Riddle a forward pass and
Riddle succeeded in getting an
open field for goal. The other
was their hidden ball play, when
Lubbock lost the ball, letting Pa-
ducah have another open field for
goal. It was only a few times
that Lubbock was on Paducah’s
territory, and never got closer
than the twenty-five yard line to
their goal.
It would be impossible to men-
tion stars of this game. Padu-
cah’s team was “all stars.” Each
boy knew his place and performed ,
it to perfection. Padncah’s back
field proved entirely too much for
Lubbock, while they were un-
able to break through the front
line at any time.
We might also say that this
was the cleanest game that has
ever been played here by any
team. There was no “wrangl-
ing” at any time with the ex-
ception of twice, and then’ Padu-
cah asked the referee to give
Lubbock what they wanted. Hob-
son of Paducah was the referee
for the first half, while a Lubbock
man refereed the second half.
They are both real referees, and
we can say for Lnbboctts man
that he js the fairest in "cisiona
of any outside man who has ever
been here. In' fact the two refer-
ees never once had a kiek from
either side. It was quite differ-
ent and a lot more enjoyable
than some of the referees of other
