Rescue Prisoners-one Lone Cow
Was Killed By Militia.

Jackson, Ky. May 2g.-The frustra.
ton of what the troops believe was a
plot to rescue or kill Curtis Jet and
Tom White Wednesday night in
creased the tension in Jackson. How
many men were involved beside the
one fred on and who returned the
sentry's fire. and what relation the
incident had to the placing OF q
searchlight on the jail grounds from
a nearby mountain side earlier in the
night are questions in which actual
interest is felt
The attempt TO remove the special
hailifi B. ] Little, is a matter OF
much interest The grounds offered
are that his brother married Mrs. E.
Marcum's sister and that relationship
might influence him in the discharge
OF the duties OF a sheriff.
Major Allea, who, in the absence
OF Colonel Williams in Lexington. is
in command of the troops, gave out
the following statement concerning

The First Ward Planning Mill COM
pany is said to be contemplating re-
moval from Morgantawn to Fairmont
on account OF the high rental charged
here.
j. j. Wharton Is building addition
al lumber sheds at his yard in the
First Ward.
The MorgantowA Planning Mil
has about covered all the territory it
has, and is too busy handling building
materials to enlarge its plant Ii IL had
the room. The company has gone out
OF the contracting and house building
business some tims ago, and Is contln-
ing It's operations to the manufacture
and sale OF lumber, and supplies OF all
kinds for house building.
An average OF more than six loads
OF lumber wenk Is handled here.
Building materials are higher than
they were at this time last year
Probably an increase OF 10 per cent
will cover the advance Ia price.
The Graham Mills in Third ward are
running full time but are not 10 the
contracting business. Mr. Graham
contemplates enlarging the plant this
summer. He is now putting in
shaper and a new band saw and other
additional machinery. Mr.. Gidley
has been in charge OF the mills foI the
past week, Mr.. Graham having been
sick. He Is getting better now.
Nine cars OF lumber including
shingles, laths, boards ETC., were de-
livered and unloaded at the Valley
Wood Working Co.'S, plant Friday
morning, which indicates that there
is no holiday in the lumber business
up Decker's creek. This company
carries or contracting and building In
connection with the planning mill bust
ness. They have more than a dozen
houses under construction now In
various parts of the city. The bust
ness OF this new firm has grown till it
will have to exchange some of its ma.
chinery for other of larger capacity.
All the mills report lumber to be
little higher than it was at this time
last year.
