GARY PLAYS GOOD GAME
Lyman and Hunter Are the
Basket Ball Stars
in Match.

AS Gary expected she went down to
defeat before Hammond last night to
the tune of A to 40. But there was
no disgrace in Gary's defeat, for with
an overwhelming score against her in
strong in the second, and played an
even game with her older and more ex-
perienced rivals.
The score at the end Of the first half
was % to in favor OF Hammond, and
the Gary boys were not a bit dis
couraged. Hammond thought that the
game was cinched. as she herself let
slip several cogs, but when she saw
the form that Gary came back in she
braced up again. and then found it all
she could do to hold the steel city
down.
This game with Hammond, although
Gary was beaten, proves that in the
future she must be considered a fac
tor in athletics of the county. Ham
mond is the only city in the county
at the present time that can defeat
Gary, and hereafter she will have to
look to her laurels.
The most baskets for Gary were
made by Hyman, and Hunter of Ham
mond played the star game for the
visitors. One of the features of the
game was the work of Hake, the new
Gary forward, who took the place OF
Captain Hackett, who has left school
Although the new player Is young and
| inexperienced. he showed up well.
The electric lights went out in the
middle of the second half and the in
efficient gas lights, which were used
crippled the playing of both teams.

THE SOUTHERN LIFE.

Well Known Insurance
Company's License to do
Business in this State Re-
voked by Commissioner
McMaster.
The Columbia State.
In vigorous letter TO the
Southern Life Insurance COM
pany of Fayettville, N. c., Com
missioner McMaster informs the
officers of that concern that it's
license to engage in business in
this State is revoked. Mr.. Nc
Master takes this action after
several hearings given by him to
the officers OF the cnmpany. AL
though the time for the renewal
of license is April 1, the COM
missioner does not feel that he
should wait until the application
OF the company was brought up
again, but should take some &C.
ton on his order issued some
time ago to the company to show
cause why it's license should not
be revoked.
The facts in the case are gen.
orally familiar. The CONTROL.
ing interest In the Southern Lite
Insurance company was pur-
chased by the Seminole Securi-
ties company of this city, the
price paid for the stock being in
3 'cess of its par value and al
NSged to be far In excess of it's
market value. The transactions
of the sale were conducted
through General Manager c.
j. Cooper of the insurance COM
pany and B. w. Lacy, the actu-
ary, and G. j. Hebert, one of the
principal stock promoters of the
Seminole Securities company. 1t
was charged that enormous com
missions were paid In the trans
fer.
When these matters came out
in the proceedings brought
against the Seminole Securities
company, Mr. McMasger order
ed the insurance company to
show cause why its license
should not be revoked. Two or
three hearings were held. Mr..
McMaster states in his letter
that he has no desire to alarm
the policy holders, but the evi,
dence shows that enormous COM
missions were paid those direct
ly interested in the deal, the
other officers an6 direc tors OF
the Southern Lite company be-
ing in ignorance OF the details.
The deal ne seys " is permeated
with evieences of stock iobbing
and high finance, 'and both Lacy
and Cooper are condemned as
men unworthy of the manage
ment of such concern

being from five to six thousand, gath
cred at Fairyiew Thursday. Buying the
elements the people began the pilgrimage
at an early hour. Overland travel is the
only means of reaching fairview, and
vehicles of every size, kind and descriP

Not only did il seem that the elements
conspired against the occasion, but at the
last minute telegram was received from
Col. Bennett II. Young, who was to
have delivered the address dedicating the
memorial park site and presenting il to
the public, stating that owing TO impor'

that have been bought cost 1900, but
$4,000 more is needed to beautify the

jackson, Ky.-A. 5. johnson, notorious
on account of his having so inundated
the officials of the Breathitt Circuit Court
two years ago as TO cause the sending
Of State troops to protect the court, is
again ON the warpth. Having quarreled
with Circuit Judge j. p. Adams ON ac-
count of suit decided against him, he
sought Judge Adams at his hotel, and a
difficulty between the two men was only
averted by the interference of friends.
In company with Jake Noble, locally
known as the worst bad man" in
Breathitt county, he started in to shoot
up the town. After nearly a hundred
shots had been fired in and around John
sons pool room, the marshals arrested
Jake Noble, after empowering him and
knocking him in the head with a pistol.
While the officers were struggling with
Noble some of Johnson's friends took
him home with the idea Of trying TO
avoid the publicity of his being taken
through the streets to Jail. The officers,
however, later arrested johnson, and he
