would-Be Forger Arrested.

Cashier Wallace Mitchell, of the
banking house of George Alexander &
Co., landed a would be forger behind
the bars at the county Jail Friday after
noon. About 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing negro youth named Foster called
at the bank and secured blank check.
He returned at noon and asked to have
the check cashed for S28, it being filed
out. and singed by Thos, Berry, color
ed farmer who had an account at the
bank. Mr. Mitchell suspected some
thing wrong and told the boy he would
see Berry. who was in town. Berry
called at the bank and pronunced the
check forgery. Mr.. Mitchell after
wards caught Foster as he was getting
on a. train bound for Millersburg. While
enroute to jail with his prisoner, Mr..
Mithell observed Foster in the act of
drawing a gun, which he wrenched from
his hand, his purpose evidently being to
throw the weapon away or attempt to
kill his captor and escape. 1t was as
certained afterwards that Fosters real
name was Wallace Brown and that he
is dangerous and desperate negro.

$5OO,OOO VIII Contest.

Hon C. J. Bronston has gone to
Little Rock, Ark, to assist in the con-
test of the will of the late Dr. o. NJ.
Taylor, whose daughter is Mrs. John
McClintock, of Lexington. Dr. Taylor
died in April, 1905, leaving Mrs. Nc
Clintock only S., out of an estate
valued at over half million dollars
The remaining portion of the estate
was divided between his wife, Mrs.
Julia Prewitt Taylor, and her two
children.
DR.. Taylor was first married to Mrs.
Jordan. of New Orleans who was the
mother of Mrs Nc Clintock. Mrs. Jor-
dan was very wealthy at the time of
her marriage with DIR. Taylor and it
was through the money belonging to
Mrs. McClintock's mother that he ac-
cumulated so vast an estate. The con-
test is made on that ground. Mrs. Nc
Clintock' S interests will be looked after
by Mr.. Bronston and Col. John R.
Allen.
TIE parties to the suit are we'll
known here, Mr.. McClintock being for
aerly of Millersburg, and Mrs. Taylor,
formerly Miss Prewitt, of Clark.

Governor Closes Campaign Here.

Gov. Beckham made the closing
speech of his campaign to a crowded
house in this city Saturday afternoon.
The Governor arrived over the Louis
vile q Nashville railroad at II o'clock,
and was met at the depot by recep-
ton committee in carriage and driven
to the Windsor Hotel for dinner. Those
who dined with the Governor were l..
j. Williamson and James Mccoy, of
Pike county; James Buford, Frank
fort; Hon. c. M. Clay James Mcclure
I. j. Judy Charles E. Butler, William
Ardery, Hon. Claude M. Thomas, B.
F. Judy and Hon. ]. T. Hinton.
He was introduced by Hon. C.. M.
Thomas in an eloquent thirty minutes
speech.
The Gov errors speech did not differ
materially from his other speechers
during his campaign, a defense of the
administration. He, like Hager, is
laboring under the delusion that Beck
ham and Hager, compose the Demo
cratic party of Kentucky, and if any
man should raise his voice against
single one of their official acts, they
place him in the Republican ranks. He
soft soaped his audience from the start
to the finish. He practically stated
that he could silence the mouth of any
one against him by calling him up and
! rendering him an office. For shame
that Kentucky should have such man
for candidate for the high office of
United States Senator.
In speaking of the temperance legis-
lation he said that the passage of the
county unit law was due to his efforts.
He didn't however, read Percy Hays
letter to Judge Lassing telling how it
happened.
He dramatically exclaimed: They
say that | am not sincere, yet every
barroom in the state is an active head
quarters of my opponent.
! That very statement stamped Beck
ham as an insincere man and he knew
the statement was not true when he
made it. To hill with such dema-
gogues as leaders of the Democratic
party. Their place, if there should be
place for them, is in the Republican
party.
| Wait until after the election is over,
and mark our word, the records of the
courts in Kentucky will show that the
above statement in regard to the bar
rooms being McCreary's headquarters,
is as false as he is himself. And we
will add, boys. you had better get your
pardons before the election.
