TOM DUDLEY KILLED.

Last Sunday afternoon about 8
O'Clock, Will Ed Jones shot and killed
Tom Dudley, near Bliss, about a miles
west of Columbia. From what we can
hear the facts are as follows:
Dudley in company with his wife and
daughter, the latter being Jones wife,
were passing the road, when Jones
stepped out and stated, you have my
wife and fired the fatal shot. Some
trouble had occurred between Jones and
his wife few days before, so it is re-
ported, and word sent to her father to
come after her. 1t was on this mission
that Dudley lost his life. Jones was
arrested on Sunday evening and placed
in jail Jim and 10 Henry McEellary
were arrested Monday and put in Jail
accused as being parties to the killing.
Dudley was horse back while the wo-
men were in a buggy. The weapon
used was shot gun which had been
purchased by Jones, in Columbia last
Saturday. The shot took effect in
Dudley's breast and he only lived about
80 minutes afterwards. All the parties
are colored.

most convenient and imposing educa-
tional structures in Southern Kentucky.
Work on the large brick dormitory is
now in progress, and will be pushed on
as rapidly as possible. At present the
committee has not succeeded in secur-
ing sufficient money to complete this
building and leave it free from debt,
but it's members are alive to the situa-
tion, and steadily adding to the fund.
The truth is, that every Baptist in this
Association ought to contribute. 1t is
not merely an enterprise for Camp
bellsville, but for the pressing needs of
the Association and Southern Kentucky
in general While that thrifty little
city will be directly benefited, yet the
people of Campbellsville, regardless of
UNCONVENTIONAL views, are bearing the
bulk of the expense. The closing of
every proposition is the most critical
moment, and since the committee lacks
from $4,000 to $4,000, the Baptists
throughout this country ought to be
glad to help. The school should start
free from debt. 1t will be better for
all parties, but this cannot be done I'M
less the people give. Send in your
subscription to the committee if you
feel like giving.

discovered about 8 o'clock and had
gained considerable Roadway.
The fire department rendered fine SER

burned to the end of the block in either
direction.
The following are the losers and the
amount of insurance carried by each:

The GOOD OLD DAYS RETURNED.

Since the completion of the bridge
over Green river, on the Campbellsville
pike, the same old close and cordial re-
lations between the two towns show up
in the same good old way-the mixing
and mingling of their people. Scarcely
a day passes that fails to show the two
towns have an interest in each other.
On the first day of May our genial friend
Mr.. George Gowdy, was shaking hands
with his friends in this city and it was
a pleasre to meet him as it had been
quite awhile since his last visit. While
the bridge was out we all sorely missed
Mr.. A. H. Marshall, the gentleman
who prepares us for light, but since its
erection his weekly trips are as regular
as of days gone by.
He commands a good trade here and
we are always glad to see him at this
end of the line. There are many others
whose visits and business relations have
returned with the completion of the
bridge, w. R. Lyon however is one, if
not the only exception. Bridge or no
bridge, mud, rain, snow nor no other
obstruction kept him out Columbia and
Adair Conunty. He was as regular as
an eight day clock and never needed
winding. His many friends are glad
to see him.

within the last thirty days to confer

both instances their visits have been
highly appreciated, and their work
complimented. We doub whether
there is another Chapter in Southern

surpass. Every member of Columbia

A GOOD GAME.
Interesting From Start to Finish,
Victory For The Boys.

On last Saturday afternoon one OF
the most interesting games of base bal
ever played on the grounds of the
Lindsay Wilson was pulled off between
the married men and those who have
not yet taken that solemn VOW, but
composed largely of eligibles for the
bond of union. The score stood eleven
to eight in favor of the youngsters, too
small a margin to be considered a
sweeping victory or discouraging to the
slugers of years gone by.
A large crowd was present and all
seemed to enjoy the game, and it was
the more enjoyable on account of the
good will and courtesies that were
manifested throughout the contest.
Fred Hancock umpired and no con-
tentions or discords arose over his de-
cisions. There were several of the
married men who showed that they
were not only has-beens, but are still
able to measure up to their best days
of single blessedness when it comes to
playing ball, but several gave evidence
of being leetle too stiff in the jints,
so to speak, and consequently lost in
scoring. At any rate the first effort
has not discouraged the old timers and
another game will be played in the
near future.

SETTLED BY ARBITRATION.

The suit for division of the farm
upon which Mr.. H. j. Henson resides,
lying on Green river this county, was
settled by arbitration last Friday, the
Board having been in session five days
The contending parties were, Mrs. H.
j. Henson and two of her sons, John
c. and Truman Henson. Eight or nine
years ago Mr.. H. j. Henson became
involved, and was forced to make an
assignment. His farm and personal
property were sold, the farm being pur-
chased by Mr.. James Holiday to re-
cover debt of about $4,000 going to
him and the late Judge James Garrett.
The day the farm was sold, Mr.. Holla-
day rented it for one year to Mr.. H. j.
Henson and his two sons, John G. and
Truman, and they cultivated, as the
proof showed, in partnership. At the
expiration of the lease, Mr.. Holiday
induced the three Hensons named to
purchase the farm, and twelve notes
were given for same, Mrs. Henson,
John c., Truman and H. J. Henson
signing the notes. 1t was in evidence
that the business was conducted as a
firm, and when a division was made,
that Mrs. Henson was to receive one
half, and John c. and Truman, one
fourth each. This partnership was con-
tinued, but at the end of the third year
Truman became dissatisfied, and went
West. Upon his return, he asked for a
division, but John claimed that he had
forfeited his interest, and suit was
brought for a settlement. Soon after
the suit was filed friends took a hand,
and the parties agreed that the trouble
might 60 before Board of Arbitrator,
all signing an instrument of writing
agreeing to abide by the decision. The
arbitrator were, H. R. Turner, Camp
bellsville, R. H, Turner, Hatcher, N.
M. Tut, Columbia, Mr.. Coppack,
Hatcher, and j. A. Diddle, Granville
John c. Henson was represented by
Montgomery & Montgomery, andC. W..
Wright; Mrs. H. ]. Henson by W. W..
Jones and James Garrett, and Truman
Henson by Rollin Hurt. After hearing
all the testimony, there being a large
number of witnesses, the following
decision was reached: Mrs. Henson one
half of the farm and two-thirds of the
personal property; John c. one-fourth of
the farm and one-third of the personal
property, and Truman one-fourth of
the farm. Truman being absent sew
eral years will have to pay about $500
on the portion he gets, which is valued
at about $500. Commissioners were
appointed to divide the land and also a
day for the sale of the personal proper
ty was fixed.

Mr.. R. E. Tandy was in town Satur-
day and stated to news man that up
to date this year he had bought and sold
more hogs, cattle and sheep than any
similar period of time since he began
dealing in stock. The amount paid out
within that time for the above class OF
stock, mostly purchased in this county,
amounts to over $4,000. During that
time the markets have been satisfacto.
ry to him and while stock is bought and
handled on close margin, yet Mr.. Tan
dy has been fairly well rewarded fol-
his work and risks.
