SHE WAS A TARTAR.
Officer Has Hard Time Landing His
Prisoner.

Patrol Driver John Austin, who
last night took Liza Boyd, colored.
to Hopkinsville, returned home this
morning and stated he had a hard
time getting his charge landed in the
asylum and that the physicians say
she is hopelessly insane.
At the depot the woman had her
first violent spell after leaving the
Jail. She called the names of every
body she knew or had ever heard OF
for assistance and created much ex-
element.
After she boarded the train she
became calm but half an hour later
became violent again and began
kicking coach windows out. Patrol
Driver Austin finally oyerpowered
her after she had succeeded in kick
ing out three windows but her vio-
lent fits returned about every half
hour until he landed her.

No Interviews Given Out Today
The sheriff's Statement Expcct-
ed Tomorrow Sometime.
TT WAS NOT FINISHED TODAY.

The official investigation of alleg-
ed over-collection of state and coun-
~ taxes in McCracken county has
begun In earnest at the county court
house, and will continue until the
matter is settled. The investigation
Is being made by State Inspector Hen
ry u. Hines. and he began work last
night.
The books of Sheriff Lee ID. Potter
for the years 1902, '03. and '04 have
been secured, along with the audit
.or's and assessment books, and the
first work done was to compare the
original assessment book with the
copy made by County Clerk Charles
Graham from the original after the
supervisors and assessor had finished
II, which is always interlned and not
nj for actual use. AS far as the work
has progressed, these two books tai
lied exactly.
After the assessors and county
clerks books have been compared,
the sheriff's collection books will be
compared with the copy of the asses
sors book made by the county clerk.
One thing that may cut some fig
ure is the claim that although the
sheriff has been allowed to make his
own copy of the assessors book, the
county clerk is required by law to
make 1t. and the sheriff has been
permitted to make 1t in late years
only as a matter of accommodation
The effect of the failure of the prop
err one to make these books in view OF
what is said to be the law on the sub
ject, is uncertain.
Today the officials and accountants
in charge of the investigation have
been very susy about the court house.
County Judge Lightfoot declined to
make any statement further than he
has already made, saying that the in
quiry was now in the hands of the
state.
The receipts alleged to show the
payment of more money than the as
sessment justified, are being gone
over again and the correct amount Of
taxes is being computed and record
ed on the back.
Inspector Hines today said he had
nothing to say about the investiga-
ton.
This afternoon Attorneys Wheeler,
Hughes & Berry, representing Sher-
in Potter, stated that they had not
completed the statement being pre-
pared for Shrelff Potter, and which
they intended to give out today, but
would have it by tomorrow.
The sheriff has been silent since
the investigation started except to
deny that there is anything in 1t, and
says at the proper time he will show
the whole thing up,

JERRY MccARTHy'S HORSES.
True Blue Irish, They Refuse to Pass
"King William" Sign.

Ehitor Barre Times: Jerry Mccarthy
had quite an experience with his horses
yesterday while going under the Will
JAMESTOWN track at Granite street extern
sion Jerry's horses refused to move
one step further though there was no
load on. The horses kept looking at
one particular place, but Jerry could
find nothing there to frighten them.
They appeared to be looking at the
street post lately put by the city. The
baking horses attracted boys who were
going to school and as Jerry did not
have his glasses with him he aked the
ehool boy to read the sign on the city
post. King William said the boys.
"What?" says Jerry, he went over and
patting his Patrick horses. Jerry drove
back to the barn and gave his horses
an extra ration Of oats.
Jerry at once went to see some Of the
old guardsmen and asked them to 90
and make sure, as perhaps the boys
might be joking him. Jean Sullivan was
one of the party, and Jean certifes to
the boys giving the correct name on the
sign post, king William Place" This
evening Jean is to give the Irishmen a
true history of King Williams, some
times known as Billy the Bayne.
