State Guard Ready to go to Scene

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. THE
Kentucky State Guard will be held
in readiness to respond to q. call from
the county officials of Christian coun-
ty If it Is seen that that the Hop
kinsville company Of militia is not
able to cope with the situation in
the county. This was decided upon
this afternoon at conference be-
tween Gov. Beokham and Adjt. Gen.
Henry II. Lawrence.
1t was not until late in the after
noon that Gov. Beckham was able to
learn the exact condition of affairs
IN Hopkinsville and the extent of
the destruction of property there
last night.
Immediately upon arriving at his
Office this morning Gov. Beckham
was informed by the Courier-Journal
correspondent of the work of the
night riders in Hopkinsville last
night, and he at once set about to
learn more details, but because of
the bad condition of the telephon es
it was impossible to get good con
nection, and it was not until after
the arrival of the Louisville after
noon papers at 4:3O o'clock that the
Governor really knew how serious
the situation was.
During the day he was in COM
municatior with County Attorney
John Duffy by telephone and later
in the afternoon telegram was re-
ceiyed from County Judge James
Breathitt, Attorney General-elect,
informing him of the dastardly work
OF the riders and asking him to order
out the militia at the expense of the
State.

exposure to the cold and privation
for many hours more not one Of them
persisted. As the steamship ground
ed a tremendous sea washed over her
decks, smashing the boats and leav-
ing only half of them fit for service,
but no boat could have lived in that
sea anyway.
A brave crew manned one of the
boats and with superhuman efforts
at last succeeded in getting a cable
from the ship to the shore at the
foot of the cliff.
With eager eyes the 600 passen
gers watched the efforts Of the sea
men. Hope mingled with tear, and
when at last the man made the cable
fast on the land there was a cheer
from the ship.
Suspended from the cable was a
basket, with ropes connecting with
the ship and the shore. Captain
Boothly ordered that the women and
children should first so ashore by
the basket.
Hour after hour this work went
on, officers and crew we're at it from
10 o'clock till five in the afternoon,
and when the seven hours had passed
the $50 men, women and children
were on the island.

Marion meeting my old friends, and
a fine people they are too, and when
| came in Tuesday night after a
drive from Marion to Smitbland, |
found one Of the finest Thanksgiving
offerings a pastor ever received from
his people, awaiting me. This hap
ply thanksgiving treat was sent to US
from Blooming Grove saints, and
they can rest assured that they did
not bestow this tribute in vain; but
that the hearts of their pastor and Of
his wife and children were filled with
tender gratitude for this kindly re-
membera nee. There was everything
good in their GIFT, sent down on the

THURSDAY, DEC. II, 1907.

The Evansville Courier of Sunday
makes an unjust and most unkind
stab at Crittenden county in Its re-
port of the Hopkinsville night rider
raid. Our people have never been
guilty of any of those offences. We
have the Stemming District Associ-
alton represented in our county and
it is composed of the law abiding and
respected citizens, and no word Of
suspicion has ever been uttered
against them, and we resent any such
lnsinuation.

record for the Glen Ridge links. 1t required
nineteen holes to settle the Currier-Baldwfn

There were other extra hole contests. but for
sensational features the match between F. A.
Wright, of the home club, and E e Wood. Of
RosevilIe, placed all others In the shade. Early
IN the match Wood stood UP, and despite the
fact that his man stole" two holes later on
by remarkable recoveres, the former Roseville
champion maintained his advantage of 3 up,
going to the fourteenth hole.
The latter is 176 yards. with a green Of punch

woods and, attempting TO play out from bad
lie. fuhbed his second shot completely. the ball
scarcely moving a foot. That nettled the Canoe
Brook veteran, who made few appropriate
remarks as he took his niblick and made a
mighty lunge ar the half buried ball.
While this was going on Wood. who had al
most driven the green. stood off with smile OF
contentment that suddenly changed TO one of
dismay. for Nright's third shot. which scarcely
