Mrs. Goodbrake's heart suddenly
fell with an oppressive sense of
danger. She ran to the door but
none of the children we're in sight.
She bad long dreaded the staguant
pool across the road. She ran to it.
Lying on her back struggling and
gasping, was Grace. Mrs. Goodbrake
rushed into the water three feet
deep, but before she reached the
child she stumbled and fell and went
under the water.
She caught the child and aoundered
to the bank. Grace was unconscious
and blue in the face. The mothers
screams brought Ed Bowen and his
wife from their store near by. They
helped carry Grace to the Office Of
Dr., Williamson. When he worked over
her for 10 minutes she began to gasp

Lost in New York

The thrilling drama entitled "Lost
in New York; was started aus
~piciously Thursday evening at the
New Grand. The members of
the company have been here rehear-
sing for the past week and last
nights performance was the first of
the season. Consequently there was I'M
usual inte locallyin the production.
The manager, l. Newt Bronson, has
been in Lexington a good many
times and is pretty well known here.
He bears an excellent reputation and
is a pleasant gentleman to meet.
Last nights performance augured
well for the success of the company
this season. Naturally there we're a
good many rough placesin both lines
and business; but there is little super.
lous stuff in the piece and conse-
quently the Improvement of the piece
will consist mostly of smoothing and
not of pruning. AS a matter of fact
some additions could be made to adj
vantage. The drama as it stands is
almost wholly without a love motive,
which makes the climax incomplete.
The introduction of a little sentiment
tality would add interest.
Otherwise the structure Of the play
is good In itself and well organized.
The climaxes are perfectly arranged
and, except for the Introduction Of
the inevitable specialties the piece
is unified and coherent.
1t would be unfair to make an indi-
vidual criticism Of the actors at this
early stage. They all seem to be
perfectly capable Of handling their
parts satisfactorily, although as yet
they r not absolutely sure Of their
lines. The singing could have been
improved upon, asst doubtless will be
as soon as the company secures the
service Of a competent musical di-
rector, But the specialties, rough as

Record 23 "A on Half Mile Track at Marshall, Aug. I

Ammonia was bred and is ownedby Capt. Ryland Todhunter who
owns also her full brother, Amatum, 44152, her Dam, Mary Myrick,
and half interest in her sire, Ashbrook. She was foald at Gray
stone Park in June, 1904 She is chestnut, 1514 hands high, with
perfection of form and disposition. Her intelligence is remarkable
Her conformation is decidedly more on the order Of thoroughbred
than either trotter or racer. Her value, as estimated by prominent
horsemen, is in six figures.
William Hackey, of Higginsyile, who broke and developed this
FLY now enjoys the distinction Of being one of the best trainers in
Missouri.
Ammonia is recovering nicely from the injury she received in
the Marshall race and will soon be on the track again.

BANKERS GO TO JAIL
ACCUSED OF wRECKING CHICAGO
 INSTITUTION.
F. E. Creelman, one of the Stockhold- CTS, is Found Not Guilty The Jury Returned Two
 yerdicts.

Chicago, April 19--Former Judge Ab- ner Smith, President of the defunct Bank of America; Gustave F. Forrow. | its Cashier. and John V. Pierce, its Vice. President were found guilty by . | jury tonight of conspiracy to wreck the | millionaire lumber merchant a stock holder in the bank and one of its pro- motors, was found not guilty.
 Pierce, because of testimony given on the stand by him was merely nned. Smith and Borrow. the jury decided. should be sent to the penitentiary and dned. Two verdicts were returned by the jury owing to a mistake. The first verdict fixed the term of Imprisonment and the amount of the lines. Accord ing to law the men must be sentenced under the indeterminate law. So the Jurors were sent back to bring in a proper verdict. Two hours later the second verdict was returned without fixing the term of imprisonment in any of the cases.
 The Bank of America was opened De- cember (. 1905, and a receiver was ap- pointed six weeks later. The promot- ing of the institution was marked by what the State characterized as ''high finance" During the trial witnesses testified that the charter for the bank was secured through fraud, 1t being claimed that the promoters ''kited" cheeks for the alleged purpose of mak- ing 1t appear that they had sufficient funds to secure the charter.
 The closing of the bank followed the failure of lumber company in which Creelman was heavily interested. An Investigation of the banks affairs at the time disclosed much worthless coll lateral. which, it was alleged, had been put up In payment for bank stock.
 Creelman, who was declared inno- cent. has large lumber interests in Louisiana and Alabama.
 President Smith was for many years a Judge in a Cook County Circuit Court. During theNtria1 an effort was made to show that he was a victim Of circumstances and had been imposed upon by other officials of the bank.
