STOCK ADVANCES
Wonderful Development There.

As evidence of the improved and i'm
proving tone of the local real estate and
investment field. the Queenstown Com
pany owners and promoters of the new
industrial suburb of Queenstown, on the
Seaboard Air Line, reports the largest
sales of its property during the past week
of any since it began business In Janu-
airy last. There were sold and delivered
contracts for stock carrying Is lots during
the past week, 81 of which were received
on Friday last. At the offices of the
company yesterday 1t was learned that a
proposition is now practically closed for
so shares of stock to one party, carrying
80 lots, which will close all sales of that
property at present prices, the announce
ment having been previously made when
the property was first placed on the mar
ket that only 900 lots would be sold under
contracts for stock at $780, the remaining
400 to be sold at double that price, or
5000.
The company has made wonderful de-
velopment and completed the sale of the
original 600 lots set apart to be sold at
800. The remainder is now to be placed
ON the market at 500 on same terms.

Liquor Law Rulings.
The supreme court is evidently pref
ty much divided on the prohibition
laws so far as Interpretation of their
provision goes. Before adjourning
this week the members split up on two
important decisions and held on other
minor cases in such way as to init
mate that they are not by any means
agreed with regard to the enforcem ent
of prohibition statutes. This does not
apply evidently to the main prob ibi-
ton bill, which has been declared lie gal
in every respect by the higher court.
The decision Of the court in the Edge
case indicates very plainly that the
legislature will have an awfully hard
job to pass a bill which will make 1t
impossible to run clubs for the distri-
button of liquor to their members. The
court has firmly established that liquor
is property and that man has a right
to keep 1T anywhere he pleases and in

such volume as he pleases. What ap
plies to man can apply to an asso-

be to strengthen the club feature and
add to the difficulties of the officials
in breaking up this means of evading

Hard Worked Judges.
The impression grows all the time
that something will have to be done
to relieve the supreme court judges of
the great amount of work that they
are forced to do under the present laws.
Just how this can be accomplished no
one is now able to say, but 1t is well
known that the question is being dis
cussed among leaders, and that by the
time the next regular session of the
a bill will be presented to relieve the
difficulty.
AS it is now, there is such an enor-
nous amount of work to be done that
the court Is forced to labor unrea-
sonable hours and to allow itself only
niggardly rest during the hot summer
months. Every Judge who Is now off
on his vacat ton has with him records
enough to fill practically every hour of
his time from now until the court re-
assemblies next November.
Two ways are suggested looking to
relief. One is to eliminate from ap-
peal all ca ses of less than 500 in value,
and the other to establish some sort of
an intermediate tribunal which could
dispose of certain classes of litigation.
The latter suggestion is not popular

committed on the night of January H.,
near Peedee, Ky. John T. Watson, a
sewing machine agent, and his wife
had allowed the negro to ride with

large number of tobacco growers to
Greensboro, though neither is a mass

Discussion of acreage and pooling

The trial OF these cases was to be

Upon the advice of Mr.. Krone, 1t
is said that all the State troops were
recently withdrawn from Lyon county,
as he deemed the situation sufficiently
we'll in hand to notify the State Off

no longer necessary. The carrier OF

notified that official that the trouble
would all start over and that the fur

In verification of that statement II
can be noted that two horses, the
property of Henry Bennett, the farm
er who was roughly handled about
one year ago, were shot and killed a
few nights ago.

STEPS TAKEN TO SECURE BAIL
Pending Another Trial-The
Case May Go to Mclean
County.

greensboro, KY, March 27.--The
news of the Court OF Appeals grant
ing T. S. Anderson, former president
of the Daviess County Bank and Trust
Company, a new hearing in the case
on which he was sentnced to serve
three years in the penitentiary, was
received in this city with varying de-
grees of expression. In spite Of the
fact that the Court Of Appeals has ia
ken a two weeks adjournment, steps
will be taken to have Mr.. Anderson
released on bond. When accosted by
a newspaper man he would not make
any statements, stating that he want
ed rcthFGg - u VIII hen. "a ~
not known what moves he will make
after having gained his release from
the county Jail.
The new trial which is ordered by
the Court of Appeals will probably be
held in Mclean county, as Hancock
county is busy with the Parrish cases
and Ohio county is not convenient for
the attorneys and witnesses from this
city.
The case will be called ia the regu-
lar term of the Daviess Circuit Court
next month. A special Judge will
be appointed by the Governor to Sc
lect a place for the next hearing of tia
trial. The attorneys for the defend
ant will Immediately take steps for
his release from custody, if hety have
to visit the State capital to see the
Chief Justice. Many were glad to hear
Of the reversal through sympathy for
the aged bankers family, while 9TH
ers were overjoyed on account of his
brother, w. X. Anderson, who is quite
i'll at his home at Detroit, Mich. The
latter was not able to attend his
brothers trial, but soon recuperated
and visited his brother after the de-
cision of the jury. The visit gave
him a setback in his illness and he
has been confined to his bed since.
1t is thought that the affairs Of T. S.
Anderson were the cause of his break
down, and since the reversal he is eX-
pected to rally rapidly.
Commonwealth Attorney Ben ID.
Ringo declared that the Court of APP
peals is always right and that the
case was reversed on technical errors
that Anderson is as guilty as ever,
and that the prosecution will be just
as vigorous in any other county as 1t
was in Daviess.

ROCkDOrt Hotel Burned.

Rockport, KY, March 2S.-Fire early
Monday morning destroyed the River
hotel OF the river front in this city.
The origin of the conflagation is a
mystery, but it is thought TO have
originated from an old-fashioned fire
place, the Goals from which must have
rolled out on a carpet.
The fire was discovered by the H.
nois Central bridge Waterman, who
gave the alarm. Several Cf the in
mates had narrow escapes, but all
were rescued. Several other build
ings came near being destroyed but
the heroic work of the local firemen
saved them from destruction.

Death Penalty Given Doc By Jury.

Rockport, KY, March Give, the
jury, find the defendant guilty and
fix his punishment at death" AS the
Judge read the verdict. a breathless
silence ensued. Even the drop Of
pin could be heard distinctly and the
ominous silence was fearful. Sud-
denly there broke upon the awful
stiffness of the grim old court house
a ripple of laughter. "Silence!" thur
dered the Judge. Strange to say, the
women present did not faint and
strong men were net moved to tears,
as is usually the case in such a dra-
matte enactment.
The prisoner, upon whose head had
fallen the fateful verdict and who
must suffer the penalty of death for
his atrocious deed, was not in court,
as may seem strange to the reader
but when we explain that the cul-
prit was a large rat terrier dog, be-
longing to Robert Decker, the strang-
ness will be strange no longer. The
accused was charged with biting John
T. Carter, q deacon of the Baptist
church. The dog was tried by jury
OF six men, who, after due delibera-
ton deemed the death penalty would
be about right for his dogship. The
animal will be killed

the family of Frank Long, a cropper
on his place. The other notes were
left at the homes of Frank Long and
another cropper, Garrett Fields. Each
read as follows:

hours to get out and you had better

NOTHING DOING UNTIL MANDATE
ARRIVES.

The greensboro Messenger says:
There were no developments in
the T. S. Anderson case Friday. An
derson is still in Jail and his attor-
neys say that they can do nothing
until the mandate of the Court Of
Appeals arrives and they do not
know when that will be. They be-
lieve that an order for the mandate
to issue was taken as a last day or
der and that it will be issued as soon
as the clerk can reach it in the reg
ular order of business, which would
probably be in the next three or
four days This is not certain, how
ever, and the mandate may not issue
until the beginning of the new term,
two weeks hence.
And when the mandate arrives,
there will doubtless be a question
as to whether or not any one in Ow-
ensboro has the power to make an
order in the matter so that bond
might be executed. Attorneys for
the defendant are of the opinion
that provision for this will he made
in the mandate itself, as Judge
Birkhead is disqualified from maxi
ing any further orders in the case.
The Commonwealth will not ask
for new hearing before the Court
of Appeals, which might be done at
any time within sixty days after
the decision. w. f. Hayes, one Of
the attorneys for Anderson, spent
Friday in Henderson In consultation
with Judge John w. Lockett, also
