INJURIES MAY
PROVE FATAL
Jeff WhitwOrth Knocked From
Train And is Dangerously
Hurt.

Jeff Whitworth, of Harmed, this
county, was knocked from a train on
last Saturday night, near Basin Springs
and probably fatally injured.
Whitworth, with a crowd of compan-
ions, was on the excursion train that
left Louisville on Saturday night on the
return trip to points on the branch line
to Fordsville.
While the train was going at high
rate of speed, Whitworth it is alleged,
planted himself on the bottom step of a
coach and while letting his body pro-
trude beyond the coaches he was struck
by a cattle-guard and knocked from the
train. He was badly hurt about the
head and body. The train was stopped
and he was taken aboard and carried
to Irvington, where his injuries are
being attended. The chances for his
recovery are said to be slight.
Young Whitworth is seventeen years
of age and is the son of Mr.. w. r..
Whitworth of Harmed.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
WELL RENDERED
Marks Close of CIOYerpOrt High
SchOOl--LOuiSYiIIe Educator
Delivers Annual Address.

The commencement exercises of the
Cloverport High School were held at
the Methodist church on last Friday
evening. The crowd in attendance
upon the exercises taxed the seating
capacity of the building. The program,
with the exception of one or two num-
bers, was fully carried out, and each
and every participant in the evenings
entertainment executed his or her part
in a highly creditable manner.
The address of DR.. ]. c. Willis, pres
ident of the University of Louisville,
was full of wisdom and humor and
dealt principally upon the important
part the school life of a boy had to do
with his future career and impressed
upon his audience the fact that the
moral and physical training of a youth
in the school room was as necessary to
good citizenship as was his intellectual
training, illustrating his points with
personal experiences as an educator
He believed the teacher should make
himself a confident of the boy and in
every way possible clothe the youth
with the best environments.
The Rev. Father Celestine Brey in a
few brief and appropriate remarks pre-
scented the graduates with the diplomas
The musical program was ar
enjoyable feature. The instrumental
solos rendered by Miss Margaret Burn
and Miss Lula Sewers were warmly APP
plauded, while the encore given the
vocal solo rendered by Mrs. Reid dem
onstrated the audiences appreciation
of thatpart of the program.
The two graduates were Misses J.
Pauline Norman and Edith Burn.
AT the close of the exercises and at
the suggestion Of the Rev. B. NJ. Cur
RE the audience gave the Chatauqua
salute to Prof King as a tribute of its
respect and esteem as a teacher and a
man. The close of this term of school
ends the connection of Prof King as
principal His work as the head of the
school has been fruitful of much good
during the three years he has been il
charge and the results obtained from
his work demonstrate his ability as an
educator Prof. King has accepted the
principalship of the graded school at
Marion, Ky. Prof. Edmund Wroe
succeed DIS him as principal of the Clover
port High School.

Despite the fact that the Court Of APP
peals has decided that Cloverport is
local option territory, the saloon owned
by Weisenberg & Mullen is IN operation.
The license granted them by the city
council does not expire until July 10,
and they will doubtless run it out
unless stringent measures are adopted
by the temperance element to force them
to close. The temperance workers are
untiring in their efforts to close the
saloon and are confident that their la
bors will be rewarded within the next
few days.
Lawyers say that the decision of the
Court Of Appeals multiplying the election
makes the saloonists liable for every
drink sold since they first opened up.

Open Again, Closed Again, Guess

SalOOniS1S Keep People
Addressing.

Yes tbs; no faint presto-change!
The lone saloon in Cloverport which
has been in operation since the Appel
late Courts decision in favor of local
option, has been keeping some Of the
people on anxious row as to its next
move. The proprietors have been put
ting it through some queer maneuvers
within the past few days. The place
has been opened and closed alternately
until the situation has assumed an as
pect bordering on the comical, to many.
The saloonists obviously are in a
quandary. The determination of the
temperance advocates to see that the
law is obeyed has the effect of closing
the doors of the saloon, only to be wide
open again when certain encourage
ment is given. That they are between
"the devil and the blue sea" is appar
ent to the onlooker.

their turn to come to unload their heavy
burden. Mr.. Ellis Davis, of the firm of

come and take his stand. Mr.. Davis
payed 29c pound for the wool and
about $4,000 pounds was disposed of
that day, amounting to $4,000. Mr.. Tom

which was GAL pounds, amounting to

much for bringing such good trade to
town for them.
