been forwarded to the adjutant gen.
eral at Frankfort. The application
contains SO names. Only As are nee
essary. All those, whose names APP

First-class material is represented,

ing on the roll, and they will assist
greatly in drilling awkward squads. -
The state authorities have been par
ticularly anxious to get a company in
the Purchase, since the Mayfield COM
pany disbanded and the trouble broke
out in Galloway. There is not a COM
pany nearer than Hopkinsville, and

out, possibly to the eastern part of
the state. 1t is not practicable to
keep one company in the field many
weeks. as the state officials do not
wish the boys to lose their positions.

in fall yesterday afternoon from the
scaffolding in the Broadway MethO-
dist church, is resting well today at
Riverside hospital where he was sent
by DR.. b. b. Griffith. who at

NOTHING KNOWN
OF HARRY YANE'S
EARLY HISTORY

Nothing new has been learned by
Coroner Frank Eaker or Fred Roth
about the life OF Harry Vane, who
was found dead Sunday evening near
Thompson's mill with. a knife stab in
his neck, although many hundred
papers and books have been gone
through without finding one letter or
anything of his past life. Vane was
with the Cosmopolitan shows for IA
months. yet employees of the show
say they never knew anything of
Vane's past life. A telegram was
sent to pop" Baldwin, manager Of
an animal show in Chicago, and he
answered that he knew Vane well,
but knew nothing of his birthplace
or relatives. The news of his death
has been sent to theatrical journals,
and IL Is believed that when some
relatives see the announcement they
will write.
II is thought that the funeral and
burial will be held tomorrow after
noon. with the burial in Oak Grove
cemetery. Vane had $50 fraternal
insurance in both the Red Men and
the Eagles. The Eagles and Red
Men will lave charge of the cere-
mony. His body is still at Mattil,
& Roth's.
