Albert Frisee spent several days
down at Kennewick. He says the
country looks beautiful where it is
irrigated, but the late frosts have
killed the fruit. The strawberry crop
was never more promising than this
spring, but since the frost it is doubted
if they will raise enough for their
own use.

Quite a ripple was created late
Saturday afternoon when informations
were filed in the superior court charg-
ing IL prominent citizens of Adams
county with libel, and warrants were
served upon three of them at once.
The cases are probable guilt or inno-
cence of the defendants under the law.
The suits are being brought by G. E.
Lowell, deputy prosecuting attorney
of Adams county, and the complaining
witness is Fred Kembel, a member
of the board of county commissioners.
The lnformations state that the libel
was committed on or about April IL,
at which time the defendants circulated
a certain defamation of the said Fred
Kembel tending to provoke him to
wrath and to expose him to puplic
hatred and contempt, and to deprive
him of the benefit of public confidence
and social intercourse. The names
of the IL men against whom informa-
tions have been filed are: j. j. Thiel,
]. M. Adams, Simon Kison, Albert
Freise, John Hille, Frederick Kison.
Adam Pflugratth, John Baumann, S.
Triebwasser, Gottlieb Presiger, John
Kison and Samuel Pflugrath. Nearly
all of these men are prominent Ger
man farmers having valuable real
estate holdings and who take an active
interest in public affairs. The article
claimed to be libelous attacks on
county officials and particularly county
commissioner Kembel, alleging the
misuse of county funds and that Com
missioner Kembel is able to SO
manipulate affairs as to have his
taxs reduced to the minimum.

President Thompson. Of Matt.
nee Club, and Mr.. George
Goodman Express Satisfac.
tion With Sport and Tip il
Off That Races will be An.
nual Event in Paducah.
CONGRATULATE OFFICIALS

Promoters of fall races here will
lose money instead of making ex-
penses. The loss is attributed to the
slim attendance on Tuesday and
Wednesday. While it is impossible
to know definitely just how the asso-
citation stands, promoters say that
they will not more than make an
even break.
Mr.. A. S. Thompson, president of
the Matinee club, said today, regard
ing the success of the meet:
1--WE had successful meet, a fact
to which all connected with the races
testify. We had slim attendance the
first two days, and but for this might
have made a little money. The races
from a sporting standpoint were ex-
cellent. We lowered two records and
some of the prettiest and fastest
work ever seen in western Kentucky
was witnessed"
Judges, timers, starter. horse own
ers and the public were well salts
fed with the meet. While it is not
definitely decided, it is tipped that
races will be an annual feature in
Paducah. The success of the meet will
bring horses here from many cities
not represented this year.
Mr.. Goodman Pleased.
Mr.. George Goodman stated this
morning that the horse show would
not prove a paying venture. While
nothing definitely can be told until all
bills are met. he believes that figures
will show an even break. Last year
ii was estimated that the association
would make 5000, but it was a loser
for $3.50 on account of the weather.
eve hope to have fall races regu-
larry from now on" stated Mr.. Good
man. 1--WE consider this an excellent
meeting, and were complimented
highly by Mr.. Talbot. Mr.. Palmer and
others who ofiiciated"
Silver for Mr.. Palmer.
This morning before his departure
from the city, a handsome chest of
silver was presented to Mr.. Walter
Palmer, presiding Judge at the fall
races and horse show. Mr. Palmer is
from Ottawa. ILL.,, and is recognized
as one of the best judges of horses
in the country.
