AWFUL MURDER
James COOmes Beaten TO a Pulp

traitors of the CHASTITY crime. White
and Chamberlain, who mad been held,
were dismissed after examination.
The body was horrible sight.
A huge splinter, nearly three feet
long, from plank, had been thrust
through the young mans throat and
on into the ground to a depth of sew
eral inches and then Bonded back and
nailed securely to the side of the
board wall with large nsils.
His skull had been crushed, his face
battered into pulp and his broad
chest msngled by heavy shoes until il
was as blue as indigo A portion OF
his brains had oozed from the hole,
three inches long, in his head. His
arms bore the marks Of . struggle and
his hands were covered with gsshes.
He had probably been trying to ward
off the murderous blows until he sank
to the ground in an unconscious con
dition. Ii was then when the tiendl
who murdered him were seized with
the thought of pinioning him to tn,
ground. Nearly anyone of the Blow
on his head would have resulted IN hi
death. The splinter, probably broker
from the plank with which he was hi
over the head, was brought into use
He was found on his stomach, with
his head turned on the side and tn,

jugular vein and windpipe. 1t hs'

Have Not Decided the School
Book Question.
Louisville Abandons Proposed Fight
Against the School Book
Law.
1T ENTAILS MUUH MONEY

Last night no action was taken by
the school board in regard to adopting
new books for the Psducah high
schools, the matter being left to the
committee appointed to take up the
matter Of securing an opinion from
the attorney general relative to
whether the school book law will be
compulsory in oities Of the first and
second class. Superintendent Leib
says of the matter;
at is my honest opinion that the
school book law will affect all cities
in the state, as it was so intended.
have a letter from Senator Cantrill,
the author OF the school book bill,
ssy ing that the bill was intended tc
Affect all cities. The law Is to affect
all common schools aud as we will
this year draw about $4,000 from
the state from the common school
fund. Think there is no question that
we are to be classed in with the com.
mon schools. Some contend that we
are distinct from the common schools
because we have an independent
school government, but this | think
cannot be sustained, inasmuch as We
will take money from the common
school fond"
superintendent Leib also has let
ter from Superintendent Mark of tbs
louisville schools, saying that Louis
willie would fight the school law, bu
the school board did not fight, in
stead it adopted the books prescribed
by the law. The books prescribed by
the law will neoessitate quite lot Of
changes in the books there.
Superintendent Leib thinks the fol
lowing is the exchange price agreed
on by the American Book Co.: First
reader, cents; second reader, II
cents; third reader, 10 cents; fourth
reader, II cents; fifth reader, %
cents; speller cents; arithmetic
reader No. !, cents; No. 2, 6
cents; Stoddard arithmetic, 10 cents
Whites Elementary, 10 cents; Whites
Complete, 20 cents; Butler's Gram
mar, go cents; Smiths History of
Kentucky, 80 cents; and Barnes
United States History, 35 cents.
Superintendent Leib does not know
why the Louisville board did not fight
the matter, and is inclined to think it
the result OF legal advice. Local
board members will know what to do
in few days, but from all indica-
tions the school book law will affect
Paduoah the same as any other city
in the state.
In Louisville the cost will be nearly
81, 900, $4,000 new books having to
be pur chased.
