HAMlLION, ONO, october 1.-The Spivey
brothers, Louis and Joseph, who We're pri-
marily responsible for last nights dis
turbances at oxford, in which five persons
were shot. and who escaped lynching by
being spirited to this city, were reported
in serious condition today.
Louis, who was shot by citizens who
were assisting the officers, is in such a
condition that physicians cannot probe
any further for the bullet. Joseph Spivey
presents horrible appearance. Both ears
are torn and his neck is raw and swollen
from the effects of the rope, while his face
is also disfgured. His most serious injury
Is a wound which was caused by being hit
in the head by stone.
The Spivey brothers are natives of
Wagonville. Estill county, KY. and con-
fess that they have been in shooting scrapes
heretofore, having served in the penten-
tiary at Frankfort for shooting to kill
Louis has recently been working on a
farm at Bellingsville, Ind, and Joseph in
a tobacco factory at Middletown, Ohio
The latter was on a visit to his brother
when they went with Edward Richardson
to Oxford to attend the street fair and
became intoxicated. They ascribed the
whole trouble to their drinking which not
only caused the disturbances in the saloon
but also resisting the officers on the street
Joseph Spivey when asked today for his
nearest of kin. replied that Deputy Sheriff
Brannon was his best friend. Brannon is
the officer who broke through the crowd
and cut the rope the last time Spivey was
strung up last night. Brannon then rushed
Spivey into the oxford prison, from which
he afterward brought him here in safety.

for his bravery and judgment in preventing

The Petition to the Gar

Naturally the large number OF our
townspeople who last summer sign
ed the petition to the Gar of Russia
relative to the Kisheuoff Massacre
would like to know what became of
the remarkable document after being
declined by Russia.
The petition has been deposited with
Secretary Hay at Washington and will
remain permanently in the state de-
partment.
The text of the petition itself has
already been published and attached
to it when presented were the sign
atures of 80, 600 representative people
of all creeds. The whole was hand
somely bound together and enclosed in
a magnificent mahogany casket about
two by three feet. On the cover is a
silver plate bearing the inscription
Petition to the Emperor OF Russia
by Citizens of the United States Of
America in relation to the massacre
of tho lows at kiShenetf BessaraDia,
1908.
"Deposited for transmission by the
independent Order of B'uai Birth. "
Immediately upon receiving the
casket Secretary Hay caused it to be
forwarded to the White House for the
inspection of President Roosevelt 1t
was then returned to the State Depart
ment and placed in the custody Of
Andrew Allen, Chief of the Bureau of
Rolls and Library.

Goodrich Post, No. %, G. A. r..
will hold Box Social" in G.. a. r.
Hall on Saturday evening, November
2lst. This promises to be a novel and
interesting event and should be well
patronized.

ladies each bring a box containing
cake and other delicaCies, which dur
ing the evening is auctioned off. Aft
er the auction all settle down to par
take of the feast of good things. The
purchaser of a box is required to share
its contents with the lady who fur
nished it. There is no telling there
fore whose partner one is going to be

enters into it that adds so much Zest
and mirth to the entertainment. The
box social is open not only TO the vet
Grams, their wives, sons and daughters,
but to all who desire to attend and Il
cordial invitation is extended to all.

fine big bird, weighing fifteen pound,

Wild turkeys, like tame ones, are
scarce this year. Very few of then

being able to bag a wild turkey when
everything else fails, have reen scour

TnspectiDg Fire PLUGS,

George Hullihcn, an attache Of the
Water Works, is giving the fire plugs
their annual inspection. The object
is to see that no water remains in the
outer casing and to thereby prevent
freezing of the plugs as winter comes
on.
The casing is provided with drip
holes for the purpose of draining out
the water but these holes whore the
plugs have been many years in use
are corroled shut and a good bit of
water is apt to accumulate. 1t is for
the purpose of pumping the water out
that Mr Hullihen is making his
rounds. He finds the majority OF the
plugs in good condition but few re
auire close attention in order that
freezing may not occur. The water
found in the casing may have drained
in from the gutter OF it may indicate
a defective plug.

Getting Rid of the Water.

During the fine weather of the last
few days work on the sewer has made
considerable headway, notwithstand-
ing the hard conditions that the men
have to contend with, aud there would
now seem TO be no doubt but that the
sewer can be pushed as far as the D.
L. & W station before winter sets in.
The water at present presents quite
a problom, as wherever L is discharg
cd it drains back into the stream To
overcome the difficulty several sec
tions of hose are used to carry the
water from the pump, a numbered
yards or so back to the rear of the
men engaged in laying pipe
The trench is now being cut through
bed of hard cindcr in the vicinity of
Church street I'm addition to the
hard digging the work is rendered
more difficult by the long arch at that
point

should be fairly plump. They
ought to put on fat as fast as
they use it up; for fat is fuel,
and the burning Of it makes pow

is frightful. For such as they
there is always what the Bible
calls a "mighty famine" in the
land. Food, though it may be ia
ken plentifully, does not nourish
them. 1t makes no fat; it gives
no strength. To prevent this, to

ASHES OF COLUMBUS.

To the dead nothing matters, but it Is
sincerely to be hoped that the ashes of
Columbus have at least found a perma-
nent resting place. Tuesdays inter
ment in Seville Cathedral was his fifth
burial after four posthumous voyages.
Dying in 1905 in the monastery of St.
Francis at Vailadolid, he was first
buried there. Seven years later he was
dug up and carried to a tomb in the
Carthusian convent of Las Cuevas,
near Seville. In 1886 the dying wish of
Columbus was remembered and his
corpse carried oversee and inferred in
the Cathedral of st. Domingo, his first
landinG place i'm the new world Here
he lay In peace for two and a half
centuries. Then half of the island be-
Ing seded to France 1t was proposed to
transfer his remains to Havana. St.
Domingo objected, SO the bones and
ashes were divided, half remaining
there and the other half being removed
to and buried In the Cathedral of San
tiago. On the American conquest Of
Cuba in 1898 this latter half was
brought to Europe. and Is now inferred
at Seville.
