A fatal eAzh.
Chas. r. Pollard, Formerly Of this Coun.
W is Killed in Memphis.

A telegram directed to his rela-
tives. who live on Spring creek and
West Fork, was received last night
announcing that Chas. r. Pollard
had fallen from a building in Mem
phis aud had died of his injuries.
His brother-in-law, John Mason,
left this moyiing to lock after his
body and effects.
Yesterdays Scimitar gives the fol-
lowing account of Mr.. Pollard's fall !:
"a FATAL FALL.
"Charies Pollard, white, 40 years of
age and employed as carpenter on
theinew Amateur Athletic Building,
was fatally injured in that structure
this forenoon at 1890 O'Clock. Pol
lard was sitting across rafter of the
fourth floor saving piece Of timber
when the accident occurred. The
timber fell on being cut in two and he
reached forward to catch it. The
movement overbalanced him and he
shot ten feet below head first on a
pile of stones. His head and shout
ders were driven heavily against
one stone and he lost consciousness
at once. When picked up by his
fellow-workmen the injured man
was bleeding from the ears and
mouth. SANKEY'S undertaking es-
Enlistment was called and removed
him to st. Joseph's Hospital. A
hasty examination discovered that
his head was fractured. There is lit
tie if any prospect of his ever re-
gaining consciousness"
Mr.. Pollard was a son of Ross Pol
lard, and was we'll known about over
the county, where he did much OF
his work, being a carpenter and doing
much barn building. He was capt.
tai shot and had many friends among
those who frequented trap shooting
His remains will doubtless be
brought home for burial.

Commenting ON the recent Cow
herd-Dennis marriage, the Cadiz
Telephone says.
Miss Dennis is a neice of the late
Stephen Pettus, and was one of the
most accomplished young ladies of
GAINESVILLE or New Providence. Mr..
Cowherd is a nephew of Mrs. Fannie
RagOn, of Cadiz, his parents and
other relatives residing in Mont
gomery county, Tenn. John has
lived in Trigg county nearly all of
his life, and his interests have be-
come SO thoroughly identified with
his present home that, like histO-
rians speak of the descendants of
the English colony in ireland, he
has become more of a Kentuckian
than many of the Kentuckians
themselves. We have known him
since our early boyhood and all the
years that have passed but serve to
strengthen the friendship and more
distinctly impress upon us the con-
victi0n that he is and has ever been
a gentleman by birth, by instinct
and by cultivation.
We heartily congratulate the bride
in her conquest of an honest, brave
and true heart, and the groom upon
winning for a sharer of his joys and
sorrows sweet, charming, a noble
womanly young lady for a life COM
pani0n. Their union is the cOnsum-
nation of a long engagement, and a
genuine love match the termination
of a mutual attachment formed I'M
der circumstances of a delightfully."- ro-
mantle character.

known to himself.
Mr.. Holleman is now serving his
thirteenth year on the police force.
He has made a good officer-conser
vative. but courageous and just, and
one that could always be depended

BOYD'S BOOKS.
Sensation in Christian County.
Serious Shortage In the Ex-Shefih7s Ae-
contradiction Taken by the
Court.

The Hopkinsville New Era yes.
terday contained the following dam
aging disclosures
An action was begun in the county
court today which is Of moment to
every voter and taxpayer in Chris
tan county.
The auditors agent, B. E. Ran
dolph, in pursuance of his duty be-
gan ON yesterday an investigation OF
the books and records of the sheriffs
Office while under the Boyd regime,
beginning with the year 1888. When
he returned to the Office this morn
ing to resume his investigation he
was denied access to the books by
Omar Brown, Notwithstanding the
fact that the law not only gives him
the right but makes it his imperative
duty to investigate them. The books
were in the circuit clerks office
where they had been for months
past, and o. s. Brown, who has been
their custodian and who was the
chief deputy under MIR. Boyd, gave
his consent to the investigation on
the previous day. Bnt the investi-
cation already made develops a state
of affairs that is in the highest de
gree criminal. 1t shows that large
sums of money have been collected
and never accounted for, and that
the State has been Systematically
robbed. The auditors agent at once
took steps for the recovery of the
money and 10 day filed his suit.
The law is that when the tax col
lectOr has failed to account for taxes
collected it shall be the duty of the
auditors agent to report the same
to the county court, which issues a
rule against him and his securities to
show cause why judgment should
not be entered against them in the
sum so collected and not accounted
for and fifty per cent. damages
thereon. This report was filed and
is the beginning of the suit. 1t sets
out in substance that in numerous
cases the assessor failed to list prop
erty, and the same was listed by the
sheriff and the taxes collected and
never accounted for, that property to
the extent of $312,210 was SO listed
and the States part of such taxes,
amounting to $1,24042 over and
above the amount paid by Mr.. Boyd,
was collected by the sheriff for the
year 1888 and not one cent of the
money was ever paid into the Golfers
of the State, but the same was re-
tanned by the sheriff. The tax for
the county, amounting to about the
same sum, was also collected and re-
tanned by the sheriff, and no part OF
it accounted for in any settlement
that Boyd has ever made.
For the year 1888 Mr.. Boyd made
a report to the auditor, in which he
set out that he only listed property to
the extent of ~ ,445, the taxes on
which amount to $38.O5. The audi
tors certificate is filed with tho pa
pers. This is certainly bad show
ing, and i'm the face of the record
evidence in his own Office indicates a
deliberate design which was success
fully carried out to defraud the State
and rob the tax payers of the coun-
ty.

ascertain if single individual has
been overlooked in the census count.
We believe that the enumerators
have tried to do their whole duty
here, but they may have over
looked some. The enumerators de-
cline to give any information in re-
gard to their reports, but we are sat
isfied the enumeration will fall below
many expectations, still We have a
large increase. The city, including
the newly annexed territory, will
foot up $500 TO 5000, or some 1000
more than che whole district in the

in the district not included.
