might be no possible collision among
any Of tha bidders for the timber or
any tampering with the bids after they

Of opening this morning.

night and kept a close tab on the safe

HENRY ENIGnT ASSIGNS.
FULTON HOTEL MAN GOES
TO THE WALL.

Henry Knight and his mother,
Mrs. Jennie Knight proprietors
of Knights Hotel in Fulton, filed
assignment papers to X. M.
Chowning, cashier of the First
National Bank for the benefit
of their creditors.
The Liabilities and various
creditors are not fully known.
but are supposed to aggregate
something near $50. 900 while the
assets are composed of the Knight
Hotel property, restaurants and
stock, and the old Grand Central
hotel property, in Fulton.
This property originally cost
more than $50, 900, but perhaps
could not be sold to-day for quite
so much.
The First National Bank of
that city is one of the principal
creditors, but is we'll secured by
mortgages on the property and
will lose nothing.
The real cause of Mr.. Knights
failure was his heavy speculation
in cotton three years ago. AT
one time he was something like
thirty-five thousand dollars
ahead of the game, but he got
on the wrong side of the market
and in the wind up lost over forty
seven thousand dollars. This
failure of Mr.. Knight is an echo
of the Price Mccormick failure.
This firm was one of the biggest
spectators in the market and
Mr.. Knight followed them, using
their advice which proved disas-
, trous.
Mrs. Jennie Knight being on
her sons paper was forced 10
assign.
Knights Hotel was built in
1897 at a cost of $40, 900, and has
from the start been a big money
maker. If Mr.. Knight had con-
tented himself with the business
he could have easily paid out of
debt and made an independent
fortune.

Tom Ogden, residing at Sassa-
fras Ridge, was adjudged insane
by County Judge Kearby last
Saturday, and was taken to the
Western Kentucky hospital for
the insane at Hopkinsville, by
Sheriff Carpenter. The cause of
Mr.. Ogden's demented state is
the shooting into his home by
parties recently arrested on the
charge. 1t is thought that his
reason will return after short
duration at Hopkinsville.
