not seen about their house yesterday morn

filled the stove in the kitchen with coal.
There was a crack in the stove pipe and
in this way the coal gas escaped and went
through the house into the sleeping apart

discovered they would undoubtedly have
been smothered to death. They will all
recover.

5000 people crowded the Audito-

General Hardin made a mastery
address, reviewing the illustrious
and patriotic record of his
party tor the last half century,
and showing up the weak spots in
the u-enviable record of the Re-
publicans, tearing into shreds and
tatters their presumptious claims
to honesty and economy in the
administration of state and ma
tional affairs. Mr.. Bradley also
made a good address, in which he
juggled with the Queens En-
glish and cunningly sought to
clothe the Republican skeleton in
a robe of virtue and purity. But
he can't fool the voters. The de-
bate was free from personalities.

! the mountain counties as q sectioh
where crime stalked in all its hid
eous forms and where lawlessness
was the rule rather than the ex-
ception. While it is true that
somo of the mountain counties
merited the unenviable notoriety
they had acquired by reason of
feudal warfare and disregard
for human life, still there were
conditions existing in The noun

refined, cultured and elevating I'M
fuences which surround those IA

and order, under such conditions,
could scarcely be expected.
But a change has come and a
wave of reform has swept over the
mountain counties of Eastern
Kentucky. School houses dot
its hills and valleys and church
spires pierce its azure skies, while
the newspaper flourishes in every
community and is welcome Wis

majesty of the law is respected
and upheld and evil-does are made
to understand that they will not
be tolerated, and consequently
there are few of this class now to

SO common that it hardly attracts
attention, and convictions are
comparatively few. Since July

deaths at the hands of their fell

these crimes have been committed
in the cultured and highly en-
lightened blue grass country.

Though no records were broken, the i've
mile handicap road race of the Acme Ath-
letic Club. which was run over the San
Leandro- Haywards course yesterday morn
ing, was a very exciting event, ana In
sporting parlance, was run for blood.
As the scratch men were nearing the fin
ish, after hot fight for the lead during
the entire race an accident occurred which
will probably incapacitate F. NJ. Byrne,
winner of the recent Imperial Club race,
for some time to come. He was neck and
mech with Jack Sampson, running close to
the curbstone, with his antagonist on the
outside. and N. F. Rose, his most danger
Gus rival, Just in the rear, when Sampson
began to crowd him toward the sidewalk.
He tried to pass and at the same time avoid
a collision, but space would not permit,
and he struck the curb full force.
Hewas thrown violently upon the con-
crete walk and received deep cut over the
right eve badly wrenched shoulder and
bruises which will make him stiff and sore
for many days. His wheel was wrecked.
Though Sampson strenuously denies that
there was any intention on his part to de-
feat Byrne by unfair means, it is known
that there was a large amount of money
wagered on the outcome between Rose and
Byrne and both the former and Sampson
are known among the cycling fraternity as
wicked riders.
Several other riders fell, but were not
seriously hurt.
Starter Van Court lined up the limit
men-those having 2-minute handi-
cap-at II 20 o'clock, in front of the Estu-
diflo Hotel, San Leandro, and sent them
on their journey. Others having from q
to ~ minutes were sent away in good
shape and then the scratch men, with de-
termination to do or die written on their
faces, ran their wheels up TO the tape and
at the crack of the pistol flew ahead.
The finish was in front of the Haywards
Villa, Haywards, and in spite of the
threatening weather large crowd was
present to see it. The first man to come in
Sight was o. L. Pickard, 40 seconds. He
dashed up the street with an increasing
squirt and won first place in the rather
slow time. of IA :5S.
c. II. Berguns next came in sight and
crossed the tape second in 1918.
The scratch men were not able to catch
the handicap riders, owing to the furious
pace and the fact that the course was not
in good condition. 1t was not until FIVE
men had crossed the line that NJ. F. Rose
