TO THE JAMES
TOWN EXPOSITION
RumOs That Kentucky Will Send Some
Of Her Crack Companies There.

The jamestown Exposition has
sent communications TO many
foreign govern nents, as we'll as
to the Governors of all the
states of the Union, inviting
them 70 send the pick of their
military forces to that exposi.
ton, where will undoubtedly be
gathered together the finest
bodies of troops the world has
ever seen.
1t is believed that quite a
number of the States will re,
spond to this invitation by
selecting the best companies in
their respective "Guards," and,
forming provisional regiments,
send them to the exposition.
1t is thought that Kentucky
will join this movement and
there is no doubt but that the
members of our very efficient
local military organization will
enjoy the distinction of being
"among those present" How
ever, the final selection will not
be made until next year and, in
order to be among those chosen
for the trip, the high efficiency
of the organization must not
only be maintained bnt excelled,
if possible. Consequently it is
imperative that every member
of Go. sc" be ready and prompt
to perform any duty, which may
fall to their lot and seek to be-
come more proficient in all
things military. Only men with
training of a year or two can ex-
pect to make the trip to James

SWIFT JUSTICE
Self. Confessed Murderer Hanged
Fifty Minutes After Jury
Sworn.
MILITIA AT MAYFIELD
PREVENTED SERIOUS CLASH.

The rmcst summary justice
that has ever been meted out by
judge and jury in Kentucky or
anywhere else was handed to
Allen Mathis at Mayfield Tues
day evening. Mathis was the
self-confessed scoundrel who as
saulted Miss Ethel Mccain, the
telephone operator at Mayffeld.
After being arrested he was
taken to Paducah by the officers
to escape mob, some seventy
five of whom followed the
prisoner to Paducah, where they
were rounded up and arrested
by five policemen. The mob
threw away their arms when ar
rested and could not be held.
The prisoner Allen Mathis
was hurried from Paducah to
Louisville to protect him from a
mob at that place. He was or
dered brought back to Mayfield
Tuesday night and Co.'s. K, of
jacksonville, ID, of Hopkins
vile, and |, of Mayfield, were or
dered to protect the prisoner.
Co. K met the Illinois Central
train at Nortonville and escorted
the prisoner to Mayfeld, where
he was given a speedy trial and
legally hanged at s o'clock Tues
day night.
1t was just fifty minutes from
the time the jury was sworn in
to the time the drop fell and
broke the prisoners neck.
There were ten thousand peo-
pie in Mayfeld and the crowd
tore down most of the high board
enclosure around the scaffold be-
fore time for the execution and
the hanging was to all intent
and purposes public.
The people were in an ugly
humor and nothing but the very
hasty execution prevented an
outbreak. There were threats of
clash between the troops
guarding Mathis from the train
to the court house and the mass
of people who thronged the
streets and the military with diff
ficultp prevented serious trouble.

FIERCE FLAMES
Consumes Four Buildings in
Forty Minutes.
GOOD WORK IS DONE.

Fire broke out in the clothes
pressing room of Henry Martin
Wednesday morning a few min
utes after eight O'Clock, and in
forty minutes the establishment
of Farnsworth & Rootz, the
warehouse of w. @ Mcleod, the
building occupied by Henry
Martin, the office of DIR. N. G..
Mothershead and the shoe shop
of Miles Nourse were destroyed.
The fire was caused by the over
turning of gasoline stove.
John McCarty, who works for
Henry Martin, attempted to
light the gasoline stove; some
how the gasoline caught fire and
he threw bucket of water on it
and called Fire. Roy Foard,
who works next door, ran in to
assist In putting the fire out. In
the meantime McCarty grabbed
a blanket from the bed and at
tempted to smother the fire with
it. Unfortunately he over
turned the stove and it exploded
with great force. The flames
Immediately leaped as high as
the roof and the boys, seeing it
would likely be serious, gave the
alarm.
In ten minutes time half the
town was on the scene of action
and water was being played on
the raging fire from three large
hose. 1t was soon discovered
impossible to save the houses on
fire and great effort was made
to save the livery. stable of L. Ii.
Stone which was accomplished
only after heroic work. The
round house men deserve special
mention for prompt and effec-
tual work as do large number
of others intact every one wanted
to help all they could to extin-
guish the flames. When the fire
was at its worst some level head
ed man suggested attaching the
large l.. & N. hose to the fire
plug on the corner of the st. Ber-
nard store ana running it across
the railroad crossing. AS soon
as this was accomplished the fire
was practically under control
and there was nothing but a
heap of wet and smoldering
ruins. There was no insurance
on these buildings and a large
percentage of the various stocks
were lost.
