Stricken DOVE Shortly Before th'
Time for His Release Had Come

EDDYVILLE, KY, Sept. 13.-A1rs.
James L. Rome died al the home Of
one of the deputy wardens of the Eddy
vile lPenitentiary The family
mourned her as IL she were one of
their number, when. in fact, she was
only a servant.
James L. Rome, a young farmer. and
ueighbor named Savory were rivals
for her hand sixteen years ago. 1t
was difficult for her to choose, and
the men became bitter enemies. She
eventually selected Rome, and soon
afterward Savory was found shot
through the heart.
Rome was arrested, tried. and,
though there was no direct evidence
against him, was sentenced to twenty
one years in the penitentiary. An APP
peal was taken to the higher court,
but before the decision was reached
his sweetheart, desiring to give the
world proof of her belief in his inno-
cence was married to him in the
county jail.
Their hopes for a reversal met with
disappointment, and the young bride
:
here TO serve his sentence. The love
of his wife proved stronger than any
barriers and. selling her possessions,
she followed with the determination
Of being near him until time had
proved his innocence Or the demand of
the law was fulfilled.
Her money soon ran out, and it then
became necessary to obtain employ
ment. The DathOse of the case APP
peale;l to one OF the wardens, and she
became a servant in his household.
With the election OF each new Cover
nor appeals for pardon was made by
the devoted wife. By strict obedience
to prison rules and good conduct Rome
had three years taken from his orlgl-
nal sentence and the two were look
ing forward to the day not many
months distant when they should be
gin life together anew.
The years OF hope deferred had not
passed without their effect. and WREN
Mrs Rome was stricken with typhoid
fcve: three weeks ago the disease
made swift inroads and ended the long
CHAPTER of heartache and disappoint-
mcnt.

Sad Siiaht.

Calvin McCloy and Alva Watkins
went down With a one-horse wagon
and two barrels to procure water for
plastefing q new house the other day
Upon arriving and backing the wagon
into the pond. they began filing up the
barrels. when the horse, objecting to
the position in which he was placed,
but without announcing his decision,
made q sudden lunsc TO get out. The
result was q reflex action which sent
Watkins headlong into the pond. Nc
C'loy seeing what had befallen his
comrade, followed at the horse. stop
ping his for the moment; but his mind
being made up, he was not TO be tl-
verified from his purpose. and SO made
another lunge sending McClOy into
the water on top OF Watkins, already
struggling to get out. AS the horse
continued to climb the bank, the par
daily filled barrels next followed each
other in succession and dumped upon
the two men. creating quite mlX-up
Tor the time being. They finally sue
ceeded, however. in disentanGling
themselves. when each for himself
crawled out beaver fashion upon the
bank, soaked With water and plastered
With mud. After q reimbursement OF
their condition. as best could be done
following their high-dive experience.
rhev recaptured the horse, and while
one stood guard the other filed the
barrels. when they came back. feel
ing that they had at least complied
with the solemn requirement of bap-
rism by immersion, and were no"
ready to apply for admission into
some religious society OF their own
choice. we presume either the Baptist
or Christian organization who demand

SEAT OF WAR
HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED FROM
NEW ENGLAND TO FIRST
WARD in THIS CITY.

The seat of war among Italyss sons
has changed from New England to the
First ward. Yesterday Joseph POg-
lese came before Justice Amos and
swOre out warrant for Antonio An
gOtti charging him With obtaining SIS
on false pretenSe. 1t seems that An
tonic went to Joseph and by some use
of the name of the A. j. WeisZ firm,
got the money. The offender was ar
rested and gave bond Of $500 for his
appearance for hearing tomorrow
afternoon.
But revenge is sweeter to Joseph
than any other man in Farm ont.
While dealing with the Angotti family
he thought he would do it right. He
swore out warrant for PasQuale An
gotti. charging him with conducting
house of ill-fame. Some startling
information was given out concern
ing this but it might ruin the story
if printed. Pasquale gave bond for
500 and his case will also be heard
tomorrow afternoon about two
o'clock. Constable Jones Informed the
men that the State had a desire to
know something about their past con-
duct.

Receipts OF crop money at the Treas.

Of the unusual prosperity of the coun-E
