KENTUCKY
FOR BRYAN


Louisville KY June l0-With the
gathering Of the Blue Grass democracy
in Lexington today, in advance Of to-
mororw's convention, it has become
almost a certainty that Kentucky's
representation Of twenty-six delegates
win be solid for Bryan. johnson has
many supporters in the state. but they
are not likely to WELD sufficient in
fluence in the convention to overcome
the lead Of the Nebraskan. Some op-
position has developed to the leader
ship Of the Bryan movement by Con
gressman Ollie M. James. and there
may be fight within The Bryan
ranks.
1t is also understood that efforts are
to be made to inject local issues into
the state convention. This is a move
ment to which it is known Bryan OBJ
jects. He is Of the opinion that all
the states, aprticularly Kantucky,
should go into the campaign on ma
tional issues and fight It out on those
lines. He evidently figures that states
issues might muddy the waters and
keep the voters away from the polls.

CAN PRISONERS
Be MOVED?

Topeka, June TO- Governor Hoch
has gone to Lansing to confer with the
directors Of the state penitentiary and
Warden Haskell regarding the propos-
ed removal of all Oklahoma prisoners
from the Kansas prison. No official
notice has been received as to when
this will take place, but It is expected
that the removal will occur in a short
time.
Under the contract four months no.
tice must be given before the prison
ers are taken away This was done
so that if Kansas had any contract
work to be done the state would be
protected AT present there is only one
big contract on, using 1872 prisoners.
There are about 500 Oklahoma pris-
oners in Lansing ana of these there
125 whose terms expire January l.
There is question as to whether
over half Of the prisoners can be TAX
en- to Oklahoma, as they were sen,
fenced in Oklahoma to serve in the
Kansas prison until their sentences
expired. Some attorneys think that
these cannot be transferred.

Fork, "a years old, of 81 Rankin street,
was placed under arrest by Policeman
Speer, of the Fourth Precinct. and
when arraigned before Judge Herr in
the Fourth Precinct Police Court yes
terday, was held in default of $500 bail
to await the action of the Grand Jury.
The evening prior to his arrest York
was passing along Springfield avenue,
when he found a large packing case in
front Of the cigar stors of Isadore
Siegel, 200 Springfield avenue. He
budged the case and thought it an
easy task to shove it up the avenue
and started to do so. but had pro-
crossed only a little when the proprietor
missed the box. which was full Of
cigarettes, and was valued at $103. He
detected Fork, and called the attention
of Policeman Speer, whereupon the
would-be champion smoker was taken
in custody.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Feb, 2S.-The
extreme cold and deep SHOWS have
caused the more ferocious of the wild
animals in his section to become ex-
ceedingly dangerous. Bears, wildcats
and catamounts, driven down from the
mountains, are devastating the farmers
stock and in several instances have at
tackled pedestrians on the public roads.
Sergeant Russell f. Henry, a Civil
War veteran, who resides about five
miles from this city. left here last
night along the base of Terrace Noun
tain. Within a mile of home he was
savagely attacked by a large Wild
cat, which sprang from an over
hanging rock after logging his foot
steps for more than a mile.
Henry, who is 65 years old, was borne
to the ground by the shock. A fox
hound which accompanied him dis
tracted the catamount until Mr.. Henrs'
could rise and draw his pocket-knife.
A furious struggle between the man
and dog and starving beast followed,
in which the dog was killed and Henry
received serious wounds on face and
hands. A neighbor soon after the en-
counter found Henry unconscious from
loss of blood.
The catamount's body was found
about 200 yards from the scene. It
measured -four feet three inches in
length.
