DESCRIPTION AND PEDIGREE.
Harry Montrose Was bred by c Mich
olson, fulton, Mo-, and was fealed April
!, 1885. He was sired by the great and
~unequaled saddle stallion of the world,
MontrOse, who is too we'll known to need
comment. First dam by Rockaway, Sec
ond dam by Old Drennon, third dam a
thoroughbred. Harry Montrose is a
beautiful Arabian chestnut, dine name
and tail, l6 hands high, fine style and
action and has no superior as a saddle
stallion. He was exhibited all over the
STATE last fall by Harrison Bros. and was
beaten only once and then at the great St.
Louis Fair where he was a close compet-
itor in a ring of seventeen of the best
ones the world ever produced. Kentucky
judges pronounced him the grandest
young saddle stallion they ever saw.
Breene rs are respectfully invited to call
and see him.

Contractor Scofield to Begin Work
at Once IN The Flat
Rock Hole.

When contractor A. w. Wolf
QUIT work on the Flat Rock hole
over a year ago, a depth of abont
1880 feet was reached. Since that
time the tools, derrick and other
appliances used in the work have
lain idle and the shaft has been
pushed no deeper. The cause of
tie stoppage in the work is a
familiar story. Mr.. Wolf sudden
" declared that he could bore the
hole no deeper. at once quitting
work and demanding one thousand
dollars of the company, above
what he had already received
while the work progressed. The
company refused to come to his
terms and a war of words at once
ensued, which eliminated in an
attachment of the entire boring APP
paratus. The case came up tor
trial here and a change of venue to
the Pike County Court was taken
The attachment ''stuck" at Bowl
ing Green, and owing to the perish
able character of the tools and
machinery, an order for their sale
was made by Judge Hughes, OF
the Circuit Court. The outfit was
accordingly sold publicly and the
company was the purchaser.
The subject of continuing the
work was at once revived, and al
a meeting ofthe Board of Directors.
J. c. Scotield, an experienced
driller from Ohio, vas engaged al
a salary of $3.50 per day, Il
superintend the boring. The con
tract with Mr.. Scofield stipulates
hat boring may be stopped at any
time at the pleasure of the com
pany and resumed at will. TIE
machinery is now being cleaned
up and by the end of the week the
steel drill will have resumed it,
