CELEBRATES SECOND ANNIVER.

SHAPE.
BIG CROWDS ENJOY FINE RACES
AND OTHER FEATURES OF

versary of its founding. The forenoon
exercises were held in the public hall
and were as follows:
Music-New Salem band.
Invocation-Rev. Clark.
Welcome-Hon. Hiram S. Golf.
Piano Solo-Miss Wolf.
Vocal Solo-Rev. Clark.
Music-New Salem band.
After the exercises in the hall the
people were entertained by foot races
and other amusements on the street
until $3.50 p. M, when the program
for the afternoon was carried out at
the race track and ball park. +
The first event was broncho bust
ing, in which George Albers of Han
over did the proper stunt in a credit
able manner.
The ball game between Almont and
Valley View was interesting from
start to finish, and one in which an
attempt was made to even up matters
and settle heart burnings from preyi-
GUS encounters, and resulted in a
score of 9 to 5 in favor Of Valley
View.
After the bali games more wild
west acts were given, the chief of
which was when Charles Ellington Of
Carson undertook to subdue a buck
skin broncho outlaw.
The performance was pulled off in
true frontier style, with all the trim
mings, and to the satisfaction of all
the interested parties, save possibly
the broncho, but he got his revenge
later, for as Erlingson was dismount-
ing, he was tripped by his spurs and
received an ugly fall. The broncho
realizing the situation, was soon
scampering off over the prairies with
saddle and bride and half a dozen
cowboys in pursuit. ~..-s
After a race Of over a mile the
animal was caught and the routine of
the days program was carried out.
~, Good Racing. -
The horse races were good, and
were participated in by local owners
and animals, making the sport good
natured and wholesome in it's rivalry.
There were two running races In
the first, Ben Birds Long Life and
Jens Nelson's Atlanta. Long Life
came in victorious. g- 49,
The second race was between Ru-
doIph B. Olson's mare Sail and Sig
mund O1son's Doc. This, too, was a
pretty race, and was won by Sally.
Ladies' Race.
This was the one in which the great
est interest appeared to center.
There were two entries. The riders
were Miss Polite Olson and Miss 10
hanna Hoovestol, Miss Olson being
the victor.
The relay race was run by horses
owned by Ben Bird and Rudolph Oh
son, in which olson's horses came in
first Olson rode his own horses and
Birds horses were ridden by l.. C.
| Carter.
There was rain in the early morning
and the weather was threatening all
the forenoon, and at noon there was
a heavy downpour for about half an
hour. The afternoon was clear, but
windy, and quite cool.
The attendance was good consider
ing the weather and the fact that the

Mr.. Roberts upon which Hams counsel will
rely to a large measure in the defense OF
the story writer.
The witness told a clear story OF the
shooting. supplying many Of the details Of
the killing not testified to by previous wit
nesses. Roberts said that Thornton Hams
had pointed his revolver at him while the
shooting was in progress and threatened
his life. The reYolvers Of the Hams broth
ers were placed in evidence today.
That Thornton Hams was armed in the
manner Of a plainsman was shown today,
when a leather holster, which is strapped
around the waist and enables the owner to
make a quick play, was identified by Rob-
erts as one taken from Hams after the
shooting.

either withdraw from that office or cast
aside those of Castro's ministers who still
were trying to force the Castro rule upon
the people. Apparently he chose the latter
course. He first declared the country In a

states Largest Bank
FailuRe.l

HAwESvILLE, KY. Dec. 21.-After hav-
ing been out since last Friday. the jury
in the case against James II. Parrish, an
owensboro Oy) banker, charged with re-
ceiving a deposit when his bank. the
Greensboro Savings bank and Trust COM
pany, was insolvent, today reported that
1t could not agree and was discharged.
An alleged liability of about S1,OcO,Oo was
involved in the receivership of the bank
the disaster to which last April affected
Kentucky. southern Indiana and Cincin-
natl correspondents and depositors. It was
the largest failure in the history of Ken
lucky.
The specific charge was that of II. T.
Martin, who asserted that Parrish, who,
with two brothers, was In charge Of the
greensboro Savings bank affairs. had re-
ceived a deposit Of $50 a few days before
the bank went under.
The state during the trial. which lasted
over a week. offered proof that the Par.
rish bank was involved for over a mil.
lion when It failed and introduced evidence
purporting to show that loans had been
exacted Of friendly brokers in time to pad
quarterly statements and to ward off in
vestigation. A few days after the Owens.
boro Savings bank failed, the Daviess
County Bank and Trust company, of which
T. s. Anderson was president. also failed
Anderson was a close friend of Parrish
in religious and social circles. and he
with the other two Parrish brothers, is
now under indictment.
The alleged mismanagement of the
owensboro Savings bank developed last
April after a general investigation by the
bankers Of that city. The secretary Of
state had a receiver appointed, who de-
clared the banks condition deplorable. and
who Is now engaged in paying off deposi.
tors. Public indignation was at such a
pitch that a special Judge was appointed
to try the case in Hancock county, away
from the scene Of the alleged swindling.
Parrish is a devout churchman. and on
the Sunday which interviewed during the
trial here he sang in a local choir.
