PADUCAH, KY, March 23.-Awak-
ened by the roar of flames, falling
embers and the dense smoke, the fam
lily of Richard Spann, prominent
non-association planter CT Galloway
county, living near tie Graves county
line, rushed from their residence early
Sunday morning to find their stable
and tobacco barn burning, while the
roof of the house fell in almost as
soon as they reached safety. The
house had been fred at one corner
of the kitchen, so that the blaze could
gain great Roadway before anyone was
disturbed.
Everything the family possessed ex-
cepting the farm was consumed In the
flames, the incendiaries not even spar
ing the horses. The rescue OF the
family of Mr.. Spann was barely eff
fected in time. Mr.. Spann has not
raised tobacco for number OF years,
but had set out plants this spring
No shots were fred by the incen-
diaries, who apparently used every
precaution to escape without arousing
the inmates of the house. The loss

: 40 ninety days leave Of absence al
ri, tn, him, which expires June LIST
Ioresj; eesat Mayor Biddle will offer the
49, Marshalship to former Marshal
John Latta.
Whether the Board will confirm Mr..
Latta's appointment remains to be
seen Rumor has it that the alder
men stand evenly divided on the ap-
pointment. in which case it would re-
quire the vote of Mayor Biddle on the
appointment to confirm 1t. The Ques-
ton has been raised as to whether
or not the Mayor has a right to vote
on his own appointments and this
question has been referred TO the City
Attorney for decision.
Mr.. Latta made one of the best, II
not the best City Marshal the town
has ever had during his term Of office
and it is safe to say his appointment
would be endorsed by the majority OF
the citizens of Columbia. He believes
the laws are made to be enforced and
during his term of Office he was dill
gent, watchful and fearless in the dis
charge of his duty. 1t is not known
for certain wether Mr.. Latta has de-
cided to accept the appointment, as ne
has a good business, which requires
practically all of his time and for bus
mess reasons he might feel he is not
justified in making the sacrifice for
the salary of seventy-five dollars a
month paid the City Marshal.
officer Ed Morgan is at present act
ing City Marshal and will continue to
do SO till the first OF June.

Local stockmen are already buying

Prices are about one dollar hundred

There are more sheep and lambs In
the county this year than ever before,
stockmen say twice as many as last
year. The high prices paid for lambs
during the past few years has en-

TO USE OF BRANDS

WINS LONG CONTEST OVER
NAME OF FLOUR.

has received from the patent office at
Washington exclusive patent rights
for the United States for the sole
users of the Blue Seal and Red
Seal" brands of -four, which brands
have been in use by this mill for
eighteen years respectfully.
Messrs. Dale and Mckinney have
been working on the patent rights OF
these brands of -four for something
over a year, the only opposition they
met with being a man In Corning, N.
Y, who claimed to have used the
brand before it was used here, but In
the legal investigations Mckinney 4
Dale proved that the Columbia Mill &
Elevator Co. was using blue Seal' as
its brand for the highest grade -four
eight years prior to the adoption OF
the name by the Corning, N. Y, man.
The legal proceedings were conducted
through the attorneys for the Fedora
ton of Millers of the United States,
and the case was decided without ever
getting into the civil courts.
Messrs. Mckinney & Dale are feel
ing much gratifed over their success.
This decision prohibits any min from
using either of the names for any
brand of -four in the United States and
the patent holds for an indefinite
period OF years.
