Man Who So Skillfully Es'
capped From Sheriff
KeOWn.
Arrested in Bowling Green
With a Circus
Show.

E.O. Allen, has been arrested at
Bowling Green, and will be held pend
Ing the arrival OF requisition which
will take him to Illinois, where he is
wanted for TIE alleged theft OF some
jewelry.
Allen formerly lived In Owensboro
and worked for the Owensboro Pants
Manufacturing company, he lett soon
after the tire.
In a short time II was learned that
he was wanted In Illinois for the rob-
berry OF jewelry store. He had
come to Ohio county among his rela'
tives, and Sheriff Keown learning OF
the fact, went after him. Allen was
captured after a hard chase and placed
on the train en- route to Greensboro
Suddenly the prisoner threw himself
ont the window and was gone. The
sheriff pulled the bell rope to stop the
train, but 1t went some distance be-
fore 1t could be brought to a stand.
Sheriff Keown then chased his man
for several miles, at first on foot
and then on horseback, but he got
away.
Sheriff Keown never gives up when
he gets after a criminal, aud he felt
sure that he would get him In the
end. His former home was watched
and his friends were kept under sur
VIGILANCE. At last 1t was learned that
Allen was with a circuis, and was
thought to be working bunco game
on farmers. There are many circuses,
and Sheriff Keown got list OF those
with dates In this State. He notified
the officers at Bowling Green that
Allen would probably be there with a
circus that appeared there Saturday
and as soon as the show arrived they
commenced looking for him. He
was not found until the close OF the
night performance, when he was
arrested. The officers say that Allen
Is an all-round crook and they expect

Livermore, KY, June 4.-The po-
lice of this place are searching for
man by the name of Richard Roberts,
who Is accused of stealing $40 from a
family boat owned by Sam Price,
says the Greensboro Messenger. Last
Wednesday while Price was eating
his dinner Roberts came In and asked
II he could lay down on the bed, say
Ing he was sick, and Price consented.
A pair of Prices pants were on the
bed with the money In the pockets.

questioned she at first denied 1t, but
afterwards acknowledged tt at Roberts
had given her the $40 and that she
spent 1t. Price Immediately swore
out a writ against Roberts and placed
1t In the hands OF Marshal Buckley.
AS soon as Roberts found out that
there was a writ against him he left
the town and went over In Ohio coun-

A Game of DominOes.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
While sniff is vastly becoming a favorite
game of amusement, it would be difficult
to compare its popularity to pit. as the
games are so entirely different. However,
sniff is played with a regular set of
dominoes. When two persons play each
has seven dominoes; when more play each
one has five. Tie dominoes are placed be-
fore the players with the backs toward
the other players. The one who gets the
lowest number leads. The object is to make
fives and multiples of five. Sniff is the first
doubles played by any one, and this may
be built on from the sides as well as from
the ends When a player is unable to play
he draws from the dominoes left on the
table, ana if he cannot play after drawing
two he passes. When a domino is put down
and the number, added to those at the
other ends of the figure on the table, makes
a multiple of five, the player may add this
amount to his score. The first one out of
dominoes adds to his score the combined
numbers of all the dOminoes left on the
table-those belonging to all the players
and those remaining in the pool; but only
fives and multiples of five are counted, so
seven, for instance, he adds thirty; if
twenty-one, he adds twenty. The game is
$50 When four play two may be partners,
and it is great fun to play progressively.
When player fails TO see sum he might
have scored the first one who sees it adds
il to his score. There is a great deal of
skill in playing the dominoes to make the
most of ones hand, reserving the right
ones TO the nd and blocking the other play

exceptions to the report of Mrs. Mary
Young, widow and administrative for the es-
tate of the deceased.
The exceptions charge Mrs. Young with
appropriatinS IS, 400 of the estate TO her own
use and are asking that this amount be
accounted for. Mr.. and Mrs. Young had
entered into an ante-nuptial agreement
whereby a certain sum deposited by
each that was to be used in the purchase of
a home.
If the home were not purchased this sum
was TO be the mutual property of the con-
tracing parties. 1t was shown that the de-
ceased had deposited $1,000 and the wife
$1,000 and that $1,000 OF this amount was
placed with the Marion Trust Company and
$1,000 with other banks.
The heirs yesterday were trying to show
that Mrs Young as administrative had
drawn $3,i00 of this amount on a forged
check. Experts in handwriting were brought

SUPREME COURT RULES
IN FAVOR OF THE PRIEST
Father Murphy Upheld in Suit
Brought Against Him by Bishop
Backed by the Pope.

LINCOLN, Neb, March 17.-Bishop Bon
acum. the Catholic see of Lincoln, was de
feated in the long-pending controversy with
Father William Murphy. one of the priests
of his diocese, by ain opinion rendered to-
night by the Supreme Court. The court
affirms in every particular the decision Of
the District Court of Seward county, and
enjoins the bishop from disturbing Father
Murphy in the possession of the church
property at the town of Seward. The court
announces its opinion that its rulings will
be in accord with those of the ecclesiastical
court when there is no infraction of the
civil law, but that il is unable TO concur
in the bishops contention that the court
of Rome has ruled i'm his favor and against
the priest. Bishop Bonacums appeal is
dismissed.
Many months ago the bishop removed the
priest as pastor at Seward and later ex-
communicated him, but Father Murphy,
with the aid of the trustees, who were on
his side. retained possession of the church
property and continued TO hold services.
