A Constitutional Question
Decided.

Chief Justice Holt, on last Saturday,
decided one Of the most important
constitutional questions to which the
attention of either the bench or the
bar has been called for many years.
1t arose in this way: Some of the
people of Letcher county came to
the conclusion that there would be
better picking for some body if the
financial and other affairs of the
county should be placed in the hands
of board of commissioners, and
thus practically taken out of the
control of the County Judge and
] lstices, so they applied to the last
Legislature, and on the Goth of April,
1920, their act of 19sections was passed
creating the Board of Commissioners
to administer the affairs of the coun-
n, the Legislature going so far as to
name and appoint the first board to

Died in Hartford.

Hon. Henry D. McHenry, delegate
to the Constitutional Convention
from Ohio county, who left this city
on Tuesday morning of last week for
his home in Hartford, and of whose
illness we made mention last week,
died at his home at dawn on We'd
nesday. His death was announced
in the Convention Wednesday morn
ing when suitable resolutions were
passed, a committee appointed to
attend the funeral and an adjourn
ment had for the day. Mr.. McHenry
had represented his county in the
Lower House of the Legislature, his
district in the Senate, and also been
a member of Congress several terms.
He was an uncle of Adjutant Gener-
al Sam E. Hill and of Mr.. D. M. Nc
Henry, of the Auditors office.

Government Buildings
Burned.

The Government buildings at Rock
Shoals, on the Kentucky river, four
miles below Beattyville, consisting of
large boarding house for hands
employed in the quarry, store house
for tools, &C., were destroyed by fire
on Saturday night. The fire was
occasioned by the explosion of a
coal oil lamp in the store Of E. M.
Pryse adjoining, while everybody
about the premises was at supper,
and high wind blowing at the time
gave the flames such Roadway that
they could not be extinguished when
discovered.

Cousins Marry.

Mr.. Allen Vaughn and Miss Lizzie
Thomasson, both of the Cedar Run
neighborhood, this county, were
married at the residence of Mrs.
WEIGH, in Woodford county, Tuesday
afternoon. On Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. James A. Richardson, jr., of this
county, and Miss Ada Thomasson, of
Shelby county, were married at the
home Of the bride, near Christians
burg. The brides are cousins as are
also the grooms. Both the young
gentlemen are hardworking, indus
trious farmers and we congratulate
the young ladies upon having cap
tured such clever fellows for hus-
bands. While we have not the
pleasure of the young ladies' ac-
quaintance, we feel satisfied the boys
are entitled to the warmest congratu-
lations Of their friends upon their
fortune.

Escaped from the Kentucky Peni-
Tertiary on this day, Convict named
WILLIAM HENRY, alias land better
known, as) MOBILE BILL.
Said Convict is an Albino, or White
Negro, and is so extraordinary in his
appearance as will strike the atten-
ton of any one that may see him.
He has the fiat nose, thick lips, and
other peculiarities of the common
Negro, yet his skin is white, and I'M
der his clothes Uery White-a mo-
ment's examination Of his head will
identify him. He has no hair upon
it, except very scanty white down,
resembling lambs wool; eyebrows
and eyelashes perfectly white; his
eyes are red, like the eyes of white
rabbit, and unable to bear a strong
light; he has thick, bull-neck, wrin-
killed. like that of wOrk-Ox, with the
white aOOOl upon it, and has very
large ugly scar on the side of his face
and neck, caused by burn; take him
all in all, he is the ugliest being i'm
aginable. He is 33 years of age, s
feet 81 inches high, and weighs about
1872 pounds; strong, heavy set and ro-
bust, but a great coward-a boy IL
years of Gge may arrest him without
the slightest danger.
Twill give S25 for him, if taken in
this or an adjoining county; $50 if ia
ken elsewhere i'm the State, and de-
livered to me at the Kentucky Peni-
Tertiary, or $25 Harvested and lodged
in any jail in this or an adjoining
State, SO that may get him.

An Old Time Poster.

The following handful, which was
printed forty-two years ago in the old
Commonwealth Office, when that es-
tablishment occupied building
which stood where the Odd Fellows
Temple now stands, on st. Clair street,
upon heavy white paper, manufac-
tured from rags by the late Eben
Stedman at his mill at Stedmantown,
this county, has fallen into our pos
session. The paper is very little dis
colored by age and the printing as
clear as the day it came from the old
hand-press upon which it was
worked:

serve the first year. Armed with
this act of the Legislature the board
appointed by it attempted to organ
ize and take charge Of the affairs of
the county, when they found to their
surprise that they were about to run
against a good sized spag in the
person of Solomon E. Baker, the
County Judge, who refused to sur
render the keys to the new Board of
Commissioners so appointed to ad-
minister upon his official estate.
Thereupon the Commissioners en-
ployed the ablest counsel in that
part Of the State and procured an
injunction to restrain Judge Baker
from acting any longer as County
Judge in opposition to the claims Of
the Board of Commissioners under
this act of the Legislature. The lower
court declared the act Of the Legis-
lature unconstitutional, dissolved
the Injunction and allowed Judge
Baker to proceed with his duties as
County Judge just as though the act
had never been passed. The Board
applied to Chief Justice Holt to re-
instate the injunction, but the Chief
Justice could not see how the Legis-
lature could abolish constitutional
office and refused to re-instate the
injunction. John L. Scott managed
the case for Judge Baker.

Too Many Votes.

There are four candidates for one
Of the Offices to be filled by the new
ly elected Council, and we under
stand that two of the Office seekers
claim they have seven votes each
pledged to them; another six and
the last three - making twenty
three votes in all. AS there are but
nine Councilmen, the candidates have
figured out too many votes or the
city is short about fourteen city dads.

Tint Debate

The debate on the question Of "trusts"
came of as per programme at the NJ. E..
Church last Friday evening. The
question as stated was "Resolved that
trusts are beneficial to the general com
unity The affirmative was ably
handled by Messrs. Eaton, Kellar. and
Dudley; while Messrs. Tracy, Wilson,
and Benedict supported the negative
side Of the proposition. Messrs. |. L..
Hanford, w. d. Vestal, and Miss Wal
ton were chosen judges. The house
was we'll filled, so welt in fact that
many had to stand, and strange as it
may seem the audience was well pleased
though tortured for nearly three long
hours by the efforts of the six gentle
men named. With the exception of
two of the judges who persisted IN vot-
ing for the affirmative the decision Of
the judges was unanimous in favor Of
the negative.

Hay reek C,s.l.

Far some time past the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad
company has been making plans to
give the coal mined at Hay Greek
thor ough trial, and have been engaged
in hauling quantity oft to the end Of
its track at Whitewood. Yesterday,
Master Mechanic Teal, of Omaha, and
Master Mechanic Hamon. Of Chadron,
arrived at Whitewood, and taking
charge OF the south-bcund freight en-
gine, had the tender filled with the
Hay Greek coal. The gentlemen ran
the engine ON its trip to Chadron, burn
ing the Hay Creek coal. Interviewed
upon their ARRIVAL at Rapid City on
their way south, they stated that with
a three-inch fire no tfouble was experi-
enced in keeping nip steam, and that it
burned freely with very little draft.
In fact they stated that it is far supe-
rior to the coal the company is now
using, and the tests 30 far made have
demonstrated that it is equal, if moi
superior to any western mined coal
The test was a most satisfactory one
and it is safe to say that tie coal will
be used altogether as soon as arrange
ments for extending the road to Oh.
mines can be made.--R Rapid journal.

The Hot Springs Improysin' Co:
Organized for the Improvement Of Hot
Springs.

Organized for the Improvement Of Hot
Sprinss.
Mention has heretofore been made OF
the organization OF the above named
company, which organization was
brought about as follows:
For some time it has been felt that
the best good to Hot Springs could be
secured by united effort Of the citi.
zens in one direction. The matter was
carefully weighed and cauvassed. 1t
was found that our people approved Of
the plan and signitied their willingness
to unite for the general good. Accord
ingly the following named persons pre-
pared articles of incorporation and for
warded the same to the Secretary Of
State, and asked for charter: H. 2.
Eaton, w. z. Phillips, w. E. Benedict,
R. w. Sham, E. Petty, j. 3. Dickover,
and Jos. Petty. The purpose of the
company as set forth in the articles Of
incorporation is "to buy, sell. improve,
rent and lease real estate" Techni-
cally this is the object of the company;
but more generally it is to build up
Hot Springs. TIE company now has
as stockholders a large number Of citi-
zens Of Hot Springs, all imbued with
the one desire to secure the permanent
improvement of the town. 4. stock
holders meeting was held last Monday
evening, which was largely attended.
A code of by laws for the control and
management of the corporation was
adopted. The utmost care was exer-
cised in framing these by laws, that all
interests should be carefully guarded.
At that meeting the Board of Directors
for the first year was elected as fol-
lows: w. p. Phillips, H. z. Eaton,
Mm. Martin, E. Petty, j. D. Dickover,
r. w. Sham and w. E. Benedict.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the stockholders, the Board of Di-
rectors organized by the election of the
following officers: President, w. E,
Benedict; Vice President, j. B. Dick.
over; Secretary, John NJ. Hcnton
Treasurer, Maj. Eaton.
The specific design of the company al
the present time is the erection of a
stone building 5Ox130 feet, two storie:
high; the first floor TO be used for banl
and stores, and the second for public
hall and lodge room. The exact loca
tion of this building has not been de
termincd, but ii will he located some
where near the business center. Th,
committee have three or four sites il
view, ard the one that is the mos
available will be selected. The corpor
alton has sufficient strength to walran
the undertaking, and as soon as lots cal
be secured, work will commence. Th,
STAR can confidently assert that ins;d
of four weeks the sod for the excava
tion will be broken, and active opera
tiors bepun.
