asked in a suit filed in the United
States Court at Paducah by c. W.
Rucker, of Metropolis. ILL.,, against 2lO
alleged night riders. The majority of
the defendants are residents Of Lyon
county, and many of them are promi-

he claims the defendants compelled him
to walk barefooted to the Cumberland

APPELLATE JUDGE f. C. o'REAR in
z. c. WALTON

APPELLATE JUDGE +. c. O'REAR in
a statement calls on Gov. Wilson to
convene the General Assembly in spec
ial session to consider the county unit
bill. He says, IL free from entangle-
ments, he believes the bill would pass,
because majority of the people of
Kentucky want it and the people should
rule. Among other reasons he gives
are that 1t is the greatest public ques-
ton of the day and 1t should be settled
now to save the State expense. At ev-
cry session he says this measure comes
up and much of the time of the Gener-
al Assembly is consumed in considering
it, delaying other legislation of impor-
lance and bringing about a waste of
time and money. He says. too, that
the present republican administration
is committed to pass this measure and
it should lose no reasonable opportunity
in carrying out its platform promises.

If John W. Kern, defeated candidate
for U. S. Senator from Indiana, is the
man we have considered him he will
not give out any further statement
about his political loss. Frauds may
have been committed and pledges bro

matters nor make himself stronger with
the Hoosier democrats by playing the
baby act. He should take his defeat
like a man.

Colt Stole a Ride.

A colt belonging to John Keltner pull-
ed off stunt down by the Hayzlett els.
vator last Monday morning that was at
once the cause Of several bushels OF
laughter on the part OF the disinterested
spectators, a few broken commandments
on the part Of the crew OF the north
bound passenger train, and some little
anxiety to Mr.. Keltner, though John
got as much fun out of the thing ~
anybody else. The colt was standing
quietly near the elevator when the train
started to leave the; station. AS the
noisy choo choo passed the elevator the,
colt from either freight or pure coltish
cussedness, bolted down the right-of-
way along side the train, and passing
the engine sprsnz upon the track inI
front of it, where It was almost instant
ly caught by the COW catcher and casri-
cd several rods before the engineer could
stop the train. When the colt was re.
leased from its perilous position tt was
supposed it had learned its lesson and
would behave, but not for MIR. Colt. As
soon as the train started again he sprang
away with wild snort and 10 less than
no time was in again on the track In
front OF the engine, which was again
brought to stop, this time without
touching the colt. After a moments
vain endeavor to coax him to place OF
safety, and when the engineers temper
was getting pretty badly frayed at the
edges, the colt suddenly changed its
mind about the desirabilty Of a trip on
the COW catcher and bolted madly across
the unfenced ground bordering the
right OF way, finally winding up at the
wagon beside its mother, where it wait.
ed calmly until Mr.. Keltner was ready
to drive back to the farm.
