The ColsOn bill to make the rob
bling of orchards, gardens and wa
termelon patches felony, punisha-
BILE by confinement in the peniten
tiary, is righteous measure that
ought to become a law. In some
localities it is almost impossible to
raise fruit, the depredations upon
orchards being so bold that the
thieves DO not even wait for dark
ness. The watermelon clause may
make it necessary to build branch
Penitentiary in every county, bu
the Colson bill is a good thing that
should be pushed along.

1t is a bold defiance of public
sentiment for a Governor to DELHI
erately select the personnel of his
administration from the gambling
element and attempt to force out OF
office every good man who enters a
word of protest against official cor.
Fuption. The Kentuckian has en-.
dOrsed the course of the recent
board of commissioners of the Wes-
tern Asylum, because in the first
place they were right; because they
were personally, with scarcely an
exception, men of christian chsrac
ter and moral standing; because
they represented the law and pub
lie decency and were honest, up.
right men. This community is
practically unanimous in its APP
prOyal of all that the commissioners
did. They repeatedly asked the
Governor to investigate the scan.
dals that resulted in the quiet dis
missai of many Of the employees OF
the asylum, male and female. This
was denied, but it did not take DR.
Ray long to find out that a wedding
-OUt was needed. The Governor de-
liberately protected men in Office
after they had confessed to Grim
committed in the asylum and had
been indicted and punished, In
protesting against this encourage
'ment to lawlessness, the commits
ssteners were upheld by the good
people of Christian county almost

the law that has characterized the

The commissioners are not subject
tOTemoval and can only be removed
by impeachment proceedings begun

Senate. This has not been done
The official order in itself con- a

LIVELY SCRAP At
SEVENTH AND BROAD
Pat Wood Arrested Charged
With Assauiticg R. A.
Sitter.

Jn q difficulty at the corner Of Broad
and Seventh Streets last night, Patrick
Weed {. young man employed by the
Standard Spike and Steel Company, OF
Manchester, administered a severe 6rub-
bling to r. A Sitter, an employe of the
si1terd71g Lumber Company, as result
OF which the former now occupies a
cell at the Second Police Station, charged
with feionious assault. He was arrest d
by Detective Sergeant Gibson and Patrol
man Bryant. both OF wnon were only q
short distance from the scene at the
time Of the fight.
Sitter was struck over the left eye,
the blow cutting desp into the flesh and
.eaving an ugly looking wound at the
tation Dr. Flegenheimer who responded
to the call for the ambulance, stated that
the injury looked very much as if it had
been made with a blunt instrument OF
some kind. presumably a pair of knuchs.
and it was on this statement that d
Charge of felony was entered against
Wood However, he denies most posi-
lively that he used any weapon in strik-
ing Sitter. and says that the wound IS
the natural result of his abnormal
strength concentrated in a blow with the
right arm.
There is much conflicting evidence as
ID what prccip;tated the scrap, wv ood
maintaining that Sitter attempted to
hi: him. and pulled his hair without the
least provocation. He says that coming
on; Of the Bijou Theatre. he accidentally
brushed against the man, and at once
offered an apology. which was not &C
cepted Some words followed, and by
this time the two men were nearly
block from the play house.
Here there was a sudden clash, and be-
fcrs any one could realize what had hap
ceDed. Sitter had been knocked from his
feet and lay spraUling in the street, one
or two yards distant from where he had
been struck He was bleeding profusely
from the cash over his eye. Both men
were taken in hand by the two o..icers
and carried to the Second Police Station.
