CRAZY MAN
Imagines That President R0ose-
welt Is His En-
envy.

Hawesville. KY, Aug. 14.-Estill
House, one of the most prominent
young men in the county, has been
adjudged to be of unsound mind and
taken to the Hopkinsville lunatic asy-
lum. He is entirely rational on ev-
cry point but one. He says that
President Roosevelt and George
Freeman a fictitious person with
him, are in collision and have an cleo
trio machine with which they are re-
moving his brains and blood. He
says that at night Roosevelt hides in
his nelghbor's barn, and in the day
in his house. On two different oc-
casions he went to the barn late at
plight with pistol and unloaded it
on his immaginary prosecutor.
Neighbors took him home on each &C.
casion. He is not expected to live.

State Malta to Have Good Prac
tiCe.

Lexington, KY, August l4.-Cap-
tain V. X. Dodge. Inspector of the
state guard rifle practice, has gone
to Henderson, to prepare a rifle
range for the use of the state
guard there. Captain Dodge's staff
Captain j. R. Sans and Lieuten-
ants King ard Griffith-have also
gone to Henderson.
The government has appropriated
S25, 1000 to the state rifle practice
each year. Captain Dodge intends
to make the Henderson rifle range
this year one of the best schools of
instruction ever given the Kentucky
soldiers. The First Kentucky goes
into camp first and then the Third
regiment. The second. of which
Senator j. Embry Allen has just
been made Colonel, will go into
camp last.

SURPRISE FOR SHERIFF.
Graves County Official Ignorant
of EXECUTION of Negro
Mathis.

It is quite unusual for a man to be
hanged by law in county without
the knowledge of that county's
sheriff, says the Paducah News
Democrat, but such case is now
before us at Mayfield, as Graves
county's sheriff, Will L. Brand, does
not yet know that Allen Mathis was
hanged in the Jail yard at Mayfeld
on July 81.
The reason that Mr.. Brand has re-
NAMED in ignorance of the fact is
that he has been confined to his
home with very severe illness for
several weeks, and while he has been
somewhat improved for the past ten
days, it was deemed advisable to
keep the affair from him. So one
can imagine how great Mr.. Brand S
surprise will be when he RECEIVERS
and he is told of the execution at the
hands of his deputy, Oscar Elmore.
His home is located on South Sew
enth street about two blocks from
the Jail, and on the night of the SEN
sational hanging great precaution
was necessary to prevent him from
surmising something.
Mr.. Brand is now able to sit up
and it is expected and hoped that he
will be down town within very
few weeks.

Death Fight in Darkness.

A news telegram from Cleveland
Ohio, says:
A story of a desperate struggle
between two brothers and their arch
enemy in a park room, the doors Of
which had been locked, was told at
the coroner's inquest over the body
of Mike Pardovitch to-day.
Pardovitch was a giant and the
terror of the Austrian colony in
Newburg. He bore grudge of
years standing against Stave and
Mike Bergitz. brothers, and entered
their home at night to fix them"
as he said. Ten boarders fled and
the three men locked themselves in a
room for a fight to the death.
Knives whirled and clashed in pitch
darkness. Smothered EXPLANATIONS
of hatred, mingled with half stifled
cries of pain as the three in silence
taught to kill and live.
The fight lasted fifteen minutes,
ending when the giant had been slain.
Mike BERTH is held for murder, his
brother has disappeared.

What They Signify.

How many our readers can tell
US what the stripes on barber pole
signify? You see the pole with its
stripes. and you know there is bar
Der shop back of the pole, but here
the average persons knowledge ceas-
es. In the early days BARRIERS did
the bleeding for the community
and surgeon were not as plentiful as
now. The first thing thought neces-
sary way down to the time of George
Washington's death, was that any
patient should be bled tap him. and
take a few ounces of blood from
him. no matter how weak he might
be. When Washington was at the
gasp, the fools bled him. Well,
the red stripes on a barber pole
mean the red ribbon bandages that
BARRIERS bound over the wounds
caused by bleeding people. That's
all.
When they got through with a
plethoric man, of full habit and had
tapped him like a hard maple tree
in February, he was patched UP and
bandaged till his arms. legs and
trunks looked like a muchgartered
leg.

holding Of the Democratic state pri-
mary to-day. between the friends

on the one side and Hager and Hines
on the other. and the full state com
mittee sustained the Hager-Hines
faction. the result of which is that
"A decision was made 10 allow the
the primary election officers in the
various counties to be appointed by
the county committee and not by the
state committee.
This victory for local self govern
ment fully sustains the contention of
Senator McCreary's advisory COM
mittee. handed by congressman Stan
ley. which recently came to Frank
fort to ask Of chairman McQuown
that this be done.
McQuown continued to-day as he
did then to contend that the state
committee should appoint the cleo
ton officers and when defeated not
only by the subcommittee, but by
majority of the whole state com
mittee he resigned his place on the
subcommittee and declared he
would have nothing whatever to do
with conducting the state primary.
The committee requested him to
withdraw his resignation. but this
he refused to do and tonight, gave
to the press statement to this ef-
feet.
The only man on the sub-commlt-
tee who sided with McQuown was
Rouse. Lassing's man from the
Sixth district. Those on the winning
side were Ayres, Roark, Fitch and
Fogg.
On the matter Of the cost of the
primary the committee sustained
McQuown's estate of S4O,OOO and
will assess the candidates according
ly. The Tyres faction reported IN
favor of the So, 900 with provision
for a subsequent assessment. If nee
essary, upon the successful candi-
dates.
There is great citation tonight
among McCreary's friends, who be-
lieve that giving the naming of cleo
ton officers to the county committee
insures a fairer election. The re-
fusal of the supporters of Hager
and Hines on the committee to do
Beckham's bidding is considered
deeply significant. 1t is reg arded
AS case of rats deserving sinking
ship.
The assessment on the various Of
fees is as follows: United States
Senator. $500: Governor, S6,5OO;

In the fall he sustainedD internal injuries and both legs were broken. his right leg being crushed fearfully.
 He was picked up by those who rushed to where he lay when they heard the fall and was carried to his rooms. There was Q consultation of physicians tonight and 1t was admitted that there was very little chance of his recovery. The doctors stated that it might be twenty-four hours before the outcome would be determined.
 MT. Lester had not been in good health for some time. He was partial ly paralyzed several years ago. He is sS years of age. He has represented the Savannah District since the begin ming of the Fifty-first Congress. serv- ing through most of this time as one of the Democratic members of the Riv- CTS and Harbors Committee.
