JAMB0REE AT THE JAIL.
Robert Lau0hIin Makes an Attack
on a FeIIOc Prisoner.

Robert Laughlin, the Bracken county
murderer, made vicious attack on
George Thatcher in the latter's cell at the
County Jail about II O. clock last night
Thatcher is confined on a charge of
burglary.
Neither of the men were locked in
their cells, and while Thatcher was
asleep Laughlin went into his apartment
and bounced on him like a hyena.
Before the officials could separate the
men, Thatcher had been choked and bit
ten by his assailsnt, but his injuries are
not serious.
1t required six persons to subdue
Laughlin, when he was securely locked
in cell by him e'f.
Tailor johnson says if he persists in
doing the crazy act he must hereafter
play "lone hand"
Since the occurrence Laughlin has not
spoken to any one.

VERY NEATLY DONE.
Chief Ort and Special Officer Pur.
nell Recover Stolen Property.

Thursday about II O'Clock ladies'
wrap was stolen from the veranda of a
West End residence.
II was not missed until after 9 p. m.
Then it was remembered that about the
former hour thirteen year-old girl, clad
in bare feet, rags and sun.bonnet, had
applied for aims.
These facts, together with description
of the lost wrap, were lodged with Chief
Ort about o'clock, and at $50 Special
Officer Frank Purnell and Officer Will
liam Rosser called at the West End resi-
dence and notified the loser that the lost
had been located.
Friday morning Chief Ort and Special
Officer Purnell, armed with the proper
papers, took a ride out ON Lawrence
Creek.
They left their vehicle at heighbor's
while they stroled over to house occu-
pied by the Maybriar family, consisting
of an old maa who is sick, his wife who
hadn't on enough clothes to wad gun,
and three children, the oldest 10 and the
others good deal younger and dressed
in primitive costume.
On approach of the Officers the thir,
teen year-old, whose name is Creasey
Maybriar, split hole in the atmosphere
by the back door route.
Special officer Purnell was good sec.
ond, and he finally found her crouched
down in thicket.
"What did you do with that cloakY'
was the first inquiry.
ooh, found that" was the reply that
gave her dead away.
Meantime Chief Ort had entered the
house and engaged the 'old folks" in
conversation to prevent them making
away WIN the wrap
What are they running after Creasey
for?" was the old woman inquisitive in
quiry;
And the Chief, with an innocent smile
that would have psralyzed Wun Lung.
professed ignorance of the chase after
Creasey-but supposed the old lady
would find out later.
When Special Officer Purnell entered
the house with his capture 1t didn't take
long for Mrs. Maybriar TO reach up to q
ceiling timber and hand down a bundle
containing the identical self.same stolen
wrap.
Just one hour and thirty minutes from
the time the officers left the city the owner
was In possession of the lost garment.
Considering the time intervening be.

notification to the Police. together with
the imperfect description of the supposed
taker, twas q clever piece Of work. for
which the officers named deserve especial
credit.

The drouth is so severe in Central Ken
lucky that one dealer at Pine Grove, who
usually handles about 5000 bushels of
bluegrass seed, says that this season he
will not handle more than so bushels.
The drouth is almost unprecedented at
this season of the year all through that
part of the state.

The Color Of Mary's Hair.
From Macmillan's Magazine.


The exact tint of the Scottish Queen.
hair has been always a vexed subject of
discussion. Some give IT al unmit!gated
red. Michelet, for instance, who SO far for
gets himself and history as to call the
poor lady great red camel; others siding
with chivalrous Sir Walter boldly endow
their martyred queen and mistress with
rich dark brown tresses. 1t should not no
forgotten, however, that red hair, even
modest auburn, suffered a severe eclipse
during the early years of our century
whereas, under the Valois no one with anv
professions to elegance could be seeen
wearing 1t black. In this particular at
least Mary Stuart must have had the adj
vantage Of Queen Margot, who Inherited
her fathers dark coloring. and was reduced
10. dissenble natures shortcomings by the
perruquier's art.
We are told of three gigantic blonde
lackeys kept in her service, and brought to
the shears as regularly sheep. Bran
tome, indeed, protests that mis- incompara-
BILE princess Could carry with grace "even
her natural black hair, twisted and plated
imitation of her sister. the Queen of SPAIN"
when he comes to praise the curled golden
tresses of the Scottish queen. Alas" he
cries. what proclamation was that at the
dreadful moment OF her death when the
barbarous eXecutioner snatchej her bonnet,
and there lay revealed those same fair
locks, now whtened, thin and wintry, which
her friends of France had so often seen to
admire, curled and adorned as befitted their
beauty and the queen they graced.'

Yesterday morning Browne and Coxey

standing about, and the two men realized
that il was expected of them that they say
something to each other. Coxey's face
flushed. and 50 did Brownies.
The big, picturesque Browne was the first

Coxey and put out his hand.
How do you do, Mr.. Coxey?" he said
HOW do You do. Mr.. Browne?" returned
CoNey with evident reluctance, as he took
the hand OF the longhaired enthusiast who
