Der Of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side of the French. and several Of
them were taken prisoners by the Eng
fish. Among them was Sir Archibald
Douglas, half brother Of Lord Will
liam Douglas. Being dressed In suit
Of splendid armor, the victors thought
they had captured-as indeed they
had-some great nobeman. Several
Of the English were about to strip OF
his armor when Sir William Ramsay

gave him meaning look. Pretending
to be very angry. he cried out: You
rascal how Is 1t that you are wearing
your masters armor? Come here and
pull of my boots Douglas, seeming
ly thoroughly cowed. went humbly for
ward and drew off a boot. with which
Sir William began to beat him. The
English onlookers at once interfered
on Douglas behalf. saying that he was
q person of great rank and a lord.
What" shouted Ramsay. shaking
with laughter. "He a lord? Why. be
is base knave and, l suppose, has
slain his master. Go, you villain, and
search the field for the body of my
cousin, your master. and when you
have found It let me know, that l may
give 1t decent burial" All this was
acted so naturally that the English
allowed Ramsay to ransom the pre-
tended manservant for 40 shillings.
The money having been paid. Sir Will
liam gave Douglas another thrashinS
and then babe him begone. Sir Archi-
bald lost no time in effecting his es-
cape, which he owed solely to the In
genuity of his friend.

Thresher of L. L. Ramsey,
An Association Man,
Blown Up.
, REASON NOT KNOWN.
Had Been Treshing Wheat
Crop of John
Wilson.

The destruction Of L. L. Ralnsey's
thresher, three miles below Edgoten,
is thus reported by the Leaf-Chron-
icle;
Monday night the thresher of
Luther Ramsey was blown to pieces
on the farm of Capt. R. A. Wilson,
near Ringgold. Mr.. Ramsey pull
ed his machine into this farm last
Friday and threshed about eighty
bushels of wheat, but the rain Sat
urday prevented further work He
expected to finish today. Last night
about midnight an explosion was
heard, followed by the yelling of
men and firing Of pistols.
The boiler seemed to have had the
dynamite placed in the front end and
so strong was the force that the OPP
posite end was blown out and one or
two holes in the sides. Of course
there is no clue as to who perpetra
ted the deed or why it was done.
Mr.. John Wilson controls the farm
and crop and about ten days ago
Mr.. Ramsey went to him and asked
him to sign the pledge, which he did,
putting the entire crop on the farm
in the Association. So why it was
done he cannot tell as MIR. Ramsey
is member and only Monday had
agreed to thresh the crop of E. E.
Wimpey.
Mr.. Wilson is no loser finan cially
himself, but greatly deplores that
Mr.. Ramsey should lose his machine
while at his home. Mr.. Ramsey as
assistant Chairman of that district
felt sure that Mr.. Wilson would be
a true member and regrets such an
occurrence"
Mr.. Ramsey finished threshing DR..
j. A. B. Words crop after John
Fields thresher was dynamited. DR..
Word having joined the association.
About twenty neil were in the
destroying party.

Pathetic Story Told, by the
Neighbors Who First
Reached Ashbrook.
DUMMIES TRIAL HELD.
Decision Will be Announced
by Judge Breathitt To-
day.

The trial of Jas. l. Dunning for
killing D. E, Alsbrook, near Crofton,
July 81, was held yesterday.
Dunning and his two boys told in
effect that Alsbrook got over the
fence and attacked Dunning with a
briar-hook after having threatened
him that morning when he went by.
The boys claimed that their faith
err was riding one mule and they the
other and that Dunning shot Ais
brook without getting off his mule.
They claimed the gun was carried
along to shoot squirrels. They said
they rode on home, a short distance,
not waiting to see the effect of the
gunshot wound.
j. r. Fuller and j. B. O'Neal, who
were working in field, near by, cut
off from view by a corn field said
they heard the shot and saw the boys
running their mules, one on each
mule, from the scene and Dunning
himself running across a field to-
wards his house, gun in hand. They
heard screams and ran to where Ais
brook lay dead. His wife and daugh-
ter were with the corpse and his bull
dog, fierce animal, kept them at
bay when they approached the body,
The hook was or 10 steps from
the body and Alsbrook's bucket was
hanging on the fence in the road.
He had been cutting briars out
side of his fence, and not in the field
as stated by the Cummings. The
widow also testified that she was at
the house in full view when the men
met. The boys were riding and
Dunning walking and that she saw
her husband make no attack on him.
Dunning stopped, raised his gun
and fired. AS her husband fell she
started to run towards him and
the Cummings all ran, the boys on
the mules and the father on foot.
Her husband was dead when she
reached him.
The court held him over to the
grand jury, continuing the bond of
$500.

Bonds That Brought 10Y
Few Weeks Ago Drop
to 1O3.
LOCAL PARTIES BID.
Fiscal Court Finally Gets a
Purchaser for the Turn
pike Bonds.

The Fiscal Court met Tuesday and
made private sale of the issue of
500, 1000 turnpike bonds, fve-thirties,
to w. F. Garnett & Co. Their bid
was 103, the bonds to be issued in
blocks as the work progresses, or
102 for $4,000 and an option on the
other $50, 900 at the same price. The
first bid was accepted.
Oscar Morehead, representing
Seasongood & Meyer, Cincinnati,
offered straight premium of 1881
for the entire issue delivered at once,
or 1921 for $50, 900 and an option on
the rest. The court in executive
session decided the Garrett & Co.,
bid, by reason of the terms of issue,
was the better and closed the trade.
The first sale was nearly 108, the
second 1O7, bidders finally failing to
comply. Thoughtful men are hunt
ing for the reason why the bonds
were finally almost a drug on the
market at so low price.

Wall Street Frightened Over Rumors
of Impending Bank Failure
Bad Report From West.

New York Aug 1.-THE course of to-
days stock market was marked by ex-
IRENE irregularity with operations on a
slightly reduced scale and limited in the
main to the active issues The lowest
prices of the day were touched in the
final hour, when persistent rumors OF
threatened failure in banking circles We're
current Aside from the encouragement
which Wall street saw fit TO derive from
the forthcoming public speeches of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. the
days developments were for the most
part adverse. Early in the session reports
coupled the name of q very large west
ern manufacturing concern with impend-
ing insolvency. Another very disturbing
element was the maximum decline of a
points in the shares of the old Metropoli-
tan railway. whose, per cent dividend is
guaranteed by the sO-called holding
companies which control the local trac-
ton roads. From Pittsburg and Cleve-
land came confirmatOry advices of re-

WITH OR WITHOUT WIRES
Inventor of New Telegraph Machine
in Nevada-Great Things Are
Now Expected.

Carson, New. Aug 16.-W. II. Valen-
tine the inventor of a machine to send
telegraph messages without the use of
an expert operator, left the city this even
ing. He came down from Lake Tahoe
several days ago, and while there met
a man named Foss at the Arlington hotel,
who came here from Chicago The two
were closeted together several days and
II is known that Foss, when he left here,
had authority to deal with of the big
telegraph companies for the exclusive
rights of the machine.
There was no exhibition of the machine
here but it is known that Valentine rep
resents the same machine which was ex-
hibited in Los Angeles a few weeks ago
1t sends messages actuated by type
writer and receives them by printing them
automatically on sheet of paper so that
the message looks like ordinary typewrtt-
ing. No other operator is required at the
receiving end and the message sent IS
DUPLICATED on the sending machine.
Mr.. Valentine admitted that the COM
pany was about to establish stations in
Nevada as the service could be made with
or without wires He declined to discuss
the rumored deal with the telegraph COM
pany. but It is understood here that ne
gotiations have been going on with the
telegraph people to put the machine in
operation for the company and thus do
aWay entirely with skilled labor that flu
turs strikes may be avoided

Numbered IN THE
WORK OF REFORM
Wealthy Foreigners Trying to
Prevent China From Stamp
ing Out Opium Shops.

Washington. Aug. 16.-An unexpected
result of the anti-opium crusade in China
has been the friction engeIdered between
the Chinese authorities and the humani-
tarians who have been working with them
TO stamp out the hateful practice of opium
smoking on the one hand. and the resi-
dents and business interests in the
wealthy and foreign concessions in the
open port cities of China on the other. 1t
appears that a considerable amount OF
money is realized from the tax on the
opium traffic and applied TO the mainte-
nance of the settlements In the case of
Shanghai. by treaty the receipts from the
opium tax are set apart for the use of the
Shanghai conservancy, the board charged
with maintenance of the channel i'm the
river Hungpu. The foreign element is in
disposed to surrender this source of
revenue until another is provided and IL
is held that this can be accomplished only
by another treaty. Meanwhile the anti
opium crusaders are loud in their demands
that the opium shops ir the foreign guar
ter shall be closed, as were those in the
Chinese part OF the city.

Body Dragged into Town.

The body of the dead robber was treated
with scant courtesy. 1t is reported that
a rope was fastened around the feet and
the body dragged into Cobre over the
rough mountainous roads. Members of
the posse stated that had he been captured
alive the rope would have been fast
ened around his neck and he would have
been dragged into town that way. As it
was the body was terribly mutilated, but
so general was the sympathy for the
murdered bartender that no one offered TO
prepare the body for burial As the man
is unknown at Cobre, the body will be
buried by Sheriff Clark in a grave IN
marked by a headstOne and without any
ceremony or casket.
