GRAVES CASES
DECIDED by THE COURT OF APP
PEALS TODAY.
Insurance Suit of Great Importance
Decided in Favor of the Water
Company.

Louisville, Ky, Mer. 1.-The APP
pellate court, Judge Num- writing,
today affirmed the judgment of the
Graves circuit court in case of the
Springfield Fire and Marine Insur-
ance Co., against the Graves County

property.
Suit was instituted by Lyon, Al
len & Co., on $4,000 worth of prop
erty for damages on account of a
failure to furnish sufficient water to
extinguish the fire.
The verdict of the jury was for
$4,000. The appellant insurance
Company then instituted similar

Reported Other Candidates Will
Enter the Races.
A New One For the Office Of sheriff
and Another For County Court
Clerk.
INVESTIGATION Is STILL ON.

The latest talk in McCracken coun-
ty democratic circles is of dark horses
for some of the nominations. The
recent Investigations. and rumors
that have never been disproven, have
resulted in quite change in the
complexion of the campaign for the
democratic nominations.
1t is said today that a dark horse
for sheriff will be out in a day or
two. with good chances of winning.
Other prominent democrats think
they see an opportunity for someone
to get the nomination for county
Judge, and a certain man is being
urged by many to announce his can
didacy.
AT first Il was claimed that the in
vestigations entered into smacked
largely of politics, but since the ma
jority of the democrats, especially
those in the county, have ascertained
the magnitude of certain charges,
"all bets are off," and they stand
pledged to no one.
The general impression seems to
be now that 1t makes no difference
whether politics is at the bottom of
the present agitation or not. if it IS,
it is one time that politics has done
the taxpayers and general public
4 good turn. 1t seems to make little
difference to the taxpayers what is at
the bottom of the exposures, so the
facts are as reported.
There are rumors of the various
scandals being flushed up" or
'smoothed over" but if such an eff
fort is made, which is not at all UNI
likely considering the oligarchy that
has its headquarters in Frankfort,
md its qualifications in every county
Of the state, there are lot of good
democrats who will refuse to stand
for it, and will promptly tell all they
know, which is considerable.
At any rate, there is now consld-
cradle talk of dark horses" in some
If the races, and developments are
expected in a few days.
The investigation is progressing
as usual, and nothing is given out,
although the usual number of reports
are in circulation. 1t is not known
whether Inspector Hines will finish
he county clerks books today or not.
