NIGHT RIDERS IN FICTION.

IL Ballard and Carlisle counties
have no night riders, they may claim
the distinction of being the scene of
some of the most picturesque fiction
that has ever been written on the
subject. Yesterday The Sun received
a dispatch by United Press concern
ing an alleged outrage with trim
mings heretofore overlooked by effete
organization east of the river. These
La Center night riders captured a
loving young couple that were out
riding rather late and took them
along. More attention was paid to
the details of "blue jeans" gallant
replacing the fallen cape of the
young lady, than to such ordinary
matters as the time and location and
cause and loss. The night riders
opened the proceedings with praye
and after doing their work sang a
hymn. That is the second fake that
has emanated from La Center and it
was so palpably a fabrication that
The Sun hardly considered it worth
the while to prove its falsity, which
was done, however. Ballard and Car
Isle counties neither have had a
night rider outrage. Association men
in Ballard have gone TO law about
their complaints and they naturally
resent such fakes. which reflect gross
injustice on lawabiding community

be given at the Woman's club on
Kentucky avenue from to 6 O'Clock.
The home has no endowment. II is

the board of lady managers and the
goodness OF citizens, especially store

there is constant wear and destruc-

can give them. 1t is not their fault

RUSSELL TRIAL

Part of the evidence in the case
against Dan Russell. the painter,
charged with obtaining money by
false pretenses was heard this morn
ing. e. w. Britain took the con-
tract to paint the tower of the First
Christian church. and after the work
was finished he went to Mr.. o. l..
Gregory, chairman of the building
of the church, and made
a statement that Britain had left the
city and owed him money. Russell
said his child was i'll and his wife
wanted TO return home. More upon
the strength of Russell's need Mr..
Gregory let him have $3.50 and
never charged the account to the
church. After hearing the evidence
for the prosecution the trial was con-
tinued until this afternoon at 2
O'Clock.
Troubles are coming In battalions
for Dan Russell, the young painter,
arrested on two charges yesterday in
Mayfield for obtaining money by false
pretenses. This morning a warrant
was issued in the court of Magistrate
Charles w. Emery against Russell,
charging him with defrauding a
boarding house. Mrs. ]. Burton swore
out the warrant, and she alleges that
Russell left without paying his
GRUB" bill.

Sanitary measures are occupying
the attention of local. state and, ma
tional authorities considerably these
times: but talk is cheap and unless
an efficient officer is hard at work ex-
ecuting such authority as he has, no
immediate good is accomplished. Pa
ducah is fortunate in this respect in
having DR.. Z. p. Farley for meat and
milk inspector. He has been faithful
and exact in his work, and probably
has incurred some enmity by his in
sistence; but the city is debtor to
him for his efficiency.
