Will Be The Attraction For
Next Week Many People
From Here will Attend.
A NOTABLE EVENT
Little City Will Make At
tempt To Eclipse All
Previous Records.

The annual Horse Show at Penn
broke will begin Aug. 10 and con-
tinue three days
The Pembroke show this year has
been rendered more attractive by
the big purses offered and the fine
prospects for well. filed rings.
1t has been truly said that fair
dealing on the part of the manage
ment has done as much as any other
one thing to make this affair one of
considerable magnitude. Never yet
has any exhibitor who had met the
published requirements gone away
from the Horse Show feeling the
least bit sore" on the management.
The Christian County Horse Show
has advertised to the world for
several years as strictly high-class
event, and the horsemen should
know by this time that they must
bring the best if they expect to take
away the money.
The Horse Show has grown in
magnitude and the quality of stock
shown every year, and the present
one will be no exception to the rule.
If the management is not badly mis-
taken, the coming Horse Show will
prove by FAR a away the greatest
ever held. The horses will be much
greater in number and just as high
in quality as last year. They are not
made any better, for the champions
at last years Christian County
Horse Show were the champions
everywhere else. The attendance
this year also promises to be much
larger than ever before. The rail-
roads have at last been convinced of
the magnitude and Importance of
the Horse Show, and also of their
inadequate transportation facilities,
and have promised to remedy this
defect-which, by the way, has pre-
vented thousands of people from at
tending the Horse Show the past
two years. Train service will be all
that one would desire this year,
however, as specials will be run, ac-
cording to the present plans, be-
tween Hopkinsvile and Nashville,
arriving and departing from Penn
broke at convenient hours for the
accommodation of Horse Show visi-
tors,
If you have not arranged your
plans for attending the Horse Show
three days and nights-do 50 now.

COURT OF APPEALS
Like Similar Court in Tenn
Releases Night Riders.

Paducah, KY, Aug. 12.-All of
the night rider cases in the Galloway
circuit court at Murray have been
dismissed owing to a ruling of the
court of appeals in the Jake Ellis
case few months ago. There were
AZ cases on the docket and all were
dismissed. with leave to re-submit.
In the Jake Ellis case the court of
appeals held that evidence of gen.
eral conspiracy could not be intro
duced, and as there was general
conspiracy in each case the common
wealth.was powerless to convict any
of the alleged night riders. All of
whom were on bond.
The citizens of Western Kentucky
remember the great disorder in Cal
loway county at the time of the ac-
tivity of the night riders. Well
known farmers were numerically
beaten, the county authorities evi-
IDENTIFY being unable to handle the
situation, County Judge.A JIG. Wells
requested troops and Governor Will
son promptly sent them. They
were stationed there several months.
Evidence Immediately began to de-
velop as to the identity of the night
riders and with the soldiers and the
sheriff and his deputies made over
so arrests, some of the accused being
among the most prominent farmers
in the county. A number of start
ling confessions were made and sol
diers guarded the men who exposed
the nighI riders. Two of them join.
ed the state guards. For a few
weeks the eyes Of the whole state
were on Galloway county, and it now
seems that all of the hard work is
defeated by a technical ruling of the
court Of appeals.
