Officer Horace Lane arrested herr
yesterday Marvel Sturgitt, a deeper

Sturgitt stole horse from a Mr.. A
j. Conley, near Prestonsburg, and was
followed into West Va. and arrested
brought back to Prestonburg and
lodged in Jail. In short time he
succeeded in breaking jail and after
his escape, stole another horse from,
Rev. Bill Smith, living in the same
neighborhood in which he secured the
first animal. Two men got on his trai
and undertook to arrest him, he resist
ed and this time so successfully h
made his escape. He cut one of hi
would-be captors inflicting a desper-
ate wound. Yesterday he was in the
crowd attending County Court and
was recognized by man named Pie
raft, who pointed him out to officer
Lane. When the officer approached
him Sturgitt ran and the officer gave
chase, firing couple of shots to
brighten his man but Sturgitt kept up
his flight for mile before Lane over
took him. When brought to bay he
at first refused to surrender, saying he
would rather die than be taken, but
the officer soon succeeded in placing
him in the tolls. 1t seems the man
Sturgitt had some time since eloped
with old man Pieratt's daughter and

Scarrett Bible and Training
School.

Our Scarritt Bible and Training
school for missionaries and other chris
tian workers, undertaken six years
ago by our women, stands to-day in
Kansas City, Mo, a noble manage
ment to woman's energy and devo-
ton. Kentucky is peculiarly inter-
ested in it and well may she be proud
Of this special work for the idea of its
establishment originated in the mind
of a Kentucky woman and nourished
and brought by her to its present state
of success. Miss Bennett has had
many worthy assistants but her sim
gular strength of purpose, combined
with simple faith and quiet courage,
gave heart and hope to them all. She
deserves and will receive the thanks
OF this and future generation for the
inception and completion of this grand
enterprise The reception to be held
at the Methodist parsonage on next
Friday evening is for the benefit of
this school.

and Mrs. Lowell, the latter two being
sisters of the host of the evening. Be
sides these the spacious parlor was filled
with children of the neighborhood.
The tree was large and naturally
beautifully. 1t was decorated and illu-
minated in the most attractive manner.
Many valuable presents hung upon it.
and some lay GA an adjoining taule.
At Z o'clock Mr.. II. p. Walton, Santa
Claus, attired in a rcd and white suit,
with long beard, sleigh bells, and his
arms filled with toys, entered and pro.
ceeded to shake hands with all OF the
little fellows seated around the room.
Some were greatly frightened and be-
gan to cry; but all was right when, soon,
Santa Claus began to distribute presents
and the little folks became better ac-
quainted with the good old man.
MIR. +. w. McChesney took the souve.
Mrs from the tree and Santa Claus de-
livered them to the young people.
Every one of them had received almost
an armful, when the tree had been strip
ped. There were all kinds of presents
and some of then, cost a good deal of
money.
During the evening Miss Rice, the &C.
complished m isical artist now residing
in Honolulu, gave several piano selec-
tions. The music was very enjoyable
and was well received. All was over at
