Henry Brow n Kills Dave Patton
at Bevier Fires Three Bull
let's Into His Head.

Wrestling pistol from his antag=
onist's hand Henry Brown shot and
instantly killed Dave Patton at Be
vier, three miles from Central City
at A o'clock last Saturday afternoon.
The shooting occurred at Browns
home.
The difficulty between the men
grew out of a children quarrel. The
children of the two families had
difficulty which was taken up by the
parents. Patton, with a pistol, went
to Browns house. In the scuffie
which ensued Brown twisted the pis-
toll from Patton's hand and, leveling
it on him, shot him through the head.
He then fired two more bullets in his
head. His death was instantaneous.
Brown is about fifty years old.
while his victim was about forty.
Both have families. The coroner
held an inquest over the body of
Patton. The verdict was that Pat
ton came to his death at the hands
of Brown. but did not say that the
shooting was in self defense.

DEPOT BURNED.
Lightning Destroys the Liver
more Railroad Depot.
People Turned Out But Could do
Nothing Except Watch it
Burn

Livermore, KY, June 19.-The
Louisville and Nashville railroad de-
pot at this place was struck and set
on fire by lightning Sunday morning.
About five O'Clock, during the heavy
rainstorm, lightning struck the cor
ner of the office and Immediately the
whole building was in a live bla re,
and continued to burn furiously, re-
CARELESS of the heavy downpour of
rain. 1t had such Roadway at the
very beginning that it was impossible
to extinguish it. A large crowd
gathered, but as they could do moth
ing they stood under store porch
and watched it burn. There were
several barrels of oil, tar, ETC., under
it and when the fire burned through
the floor and reached this it made a
very large and hot blaze, but as there
were no other buildings near and
everything being soaking wet, there
was no danger of it spreading. Moth
ing was saved except what few
papers that were in the safe and it is
not known whether they are all in
tact or not, as the safe cannot be
opened. There was about 1925 or
Sl50:worth of freight and expressage
destroyed, for which the company
is responsible. The building was
valued eat about $1,000 or $4,000.
Officials of the road were notife d

was installed in the temporary Office.
1t is understood that the company
will begin building another depot on
the same spot in a short while, but
it will not be completed under three
months. 1t will be about the same
size as the old one. Until the new
depot is completed the storehouse
will serve as office for the company.

Railroad Outlook.

The outlook for a railroad from
Point Pleasant to Fordsville or
Cloverport is still very good but
there is yet work for every one, who
is in favor of the road, to do. A
good portion of the right of way has
been procured but much is yet to be
obtained.
The proposition submitted by the
company to Ohio county people is
unalterable. They propose to build
the road. standard gauge steam
railroad, if we people in Ohio county
will furnish the road bed and do
nate $4,000. There is no altera.
ton in the proposition, if we fail on
our part the opportunity of life.
time to have railroad through the
interior of Ohio county will be lost,
In other words it is up to Ohio coun-
ty people. If we want a railroad
bad enough to put forth the proper
effort we can get it, otherwise it is
lost. Come, what shall we do? II
built our county will blossom like 9
rose.

SERIOUSLY HURT
BY Lightning Was Claude Myers
Last Tuesday After
noon.

Claude Myers was seriously, if not
fatally injured by bolt of lightning
during the rain and electrical storm
that swept over the county last
Tuesday afternoon. He was plow-
ing corn in field near Mr.. j. W.
Tichenor's barn, near Point Pleas
ant. and when the storm came up he
drove his team into the barn for shell
ter. He climbed into the barn loft
over or near where the team was
standing. About the time the
storm was at its worst bolt of
lightning entered the barn, its main
force centering on him. He was
rendered unconscious for quite a
while and has remained in a semi
conscious, half-asleep state ever
since. Physicians have been in al
most constant attendance upon him
since the Shock and it is reported
that they entertain serious doubts as
to his recovery.
One of the mules which Mr.. Myers
had driven into the barn was killed
instantly while the other beside il
was uninjured.

Dangerous Kidney Diseases

At the appear ance Of the first symp-

JAIL DELIVERY PLANNED
BY Robert Mathley Who is to
Hang July 9TH.
Woman Was to Send Condemned
Man Diamond Saw Con
ceaIed In a Banana.

Bob Mathley the convicted muir
derer, of Owensboro. who is to pay
the death penalty ON the gallows on
the 9Th day of July after every hope
Of executive clemency had faded
from his vision and death on the
scaffold doomed up before him. de-
vised unique, yet desperate
plan to gain his liberty by breaking
the Davies county bastile in which
he is in generated.
Mathley's plans to break Jail were
discovered last Friday morning. the
day following that on which the
Governor fixed the date of his exc
cution. His plan was to have a saw
passed i'm the Jail to him secreted in
a banana, to saw his way out
through the cage on the second floor
and to club Tailor Ashby and his as
astants with window weights if they
discovered him before he made his
final escape through an outside win
dow.
His plans were divulged by G. I.
Swift who had been in the Jail with
Mathley short while and who was
released the latter part of last week
On his person, at the time of his re-
lease he carried letter from Math-
ley to Molie Burns pamour Of
Mathley's. A day or so after his re-
lease he delivered the letter to Jailer
Ashby who turned il over to the
States Attorneys.
The letter begins with request for
tools with which to effect his escape.
In a manner that showed considera-
BILE thought on the subject, he min
utely told the woman how to
secrete a fine diamond saw in "A
banana. This he told her to send
TO him as she had frequently
sent him bundles and baskets of
fruit. He directed her how to get
the saw.
After instructing the woman as
to how to get the saw to him, he told
her of his plan of escape. He in
tended saving the bars of his cell in
two, which would enable him to get
into the corridor. Once in the cor
ridor his way was clear down the
stairway and to window on the low
er floor. When he reached this floor
he would take the weights off the
windows and would use them as
weapons in case of detection by the
Jail authorities before he succeeded
in saving out enough window bars
to allow him to crawl out. Once out
he would trust to his wits to dodge
the officers.
1t is believed that Mathley had a
confederate in the Jail and that, pos
sibly, the plan of escape was not en-
tirely his own. There is suspicion
that this confederate is Ike Rhea,
who was indicted by the last grand
jury for shooting at his wife with
intent to kill and against whom there
appears to be astrong case.
Whether or not the discovery of
the letter, disclosing as it does well
laid plan of escape, will have any eff
feet on the proposed attempt to have
Mathley adjudged insane by jury
and sent to the asylum, remains to
be seen.

quite a crew of men was required. as
the pipe was heavy. and had to be
rolled up an incline. This went on all

had an idea. and as the result of that
idea two pieces Of pipe were laid
along the face of the wharf.
and the timbers to receive the pipe
