erected by the people of Kentucky
to the memory Of the martyred VIM.
Goebel, the members Of the commits
sion, including Arthur Goebel broth
of the dead Chief Executive, expect
ed to have the monument dedicated
the last week in May. Arthur Goe-
bel made the request for the date in
order that his brother, Justus Goe-
bel, then in Arizona for the benefit
of his health, might be present for
the exercises.
Since then Arthur Goebel, whose
health had become impaired, joined
his brother in Arizona, and neither
of the brothers is expected to return
to Kentucky for several months. For
this reason the members of the mon.
ument commission have decided that
as the two brothers of Gov. GoebeI
should be present when the shaft is
dedicated, that the event should be
postponed until September, when il
is expected to make it an occasion Of
statewide character.
Senator McCreary received a Letter
from a representative of the Goebe

stated that the Messrs. Goebel vii

Looking to an Adjustment of

BONDISSUEAUTHORI
20 About Half the Value of
the Plant and Committee
Appointed.

The Acme Mills and Elevator Co.,
the finest milling plant in the South,
which cost something like $350,0O0,
has been financially embarrassed re-
Ecently and several meetings of
stockholders have been held to ad-
just its affairs. The dividend de-
clared for July 10 has been recalled
and other steps taken to get its bus
mess matters in better shape.
An important stockholders meet
ing was held at their Office yesterday
morning at 10 O'Clock. There was
represented in person or by proxy
nearly the entire stock of the COM
pany.
Mr.. NJ. c. Forbes, the chairman
of the meeting. placed before a
plan which had been previously
agreed upon by the chief creditors
of the company, including the banks.
This plan, which was adopted by a
Unanimous vote of the stockholders,
consisted of issuing bonds to the ex-
tent of half the value of the plant
and machinery. Nearly one-third of
the bonds to be issued were sub
scribed for on the spot. Following
"a the committee appointed by the
aaeeting to carry out the details OF
The plan and to secure subscriptions:
M. C. Forbes, DIR. I. w. Blakey, M.
f. Crenshaw, R. H. Holland, G. D.
Dalton and Barksdale Hamlet.
Prompt action was urged in view
of the fact that wheat is already be-
ing delivered. and there is a big de.
mand for flour.
1t is believed that if the plan is
carried out it will make the holdings
of investors worth 100 cents on the
dollar.
The subscription list can be seen
at the office of the Forbes Manufac-
turing Co. and in the hands of the
other comitteemen.
In the meanwhile an arrangement
has been made by which. all wheat
purchased under contract is being
received and paid for.

BY a Negro Man Named
Morgan Saturday Over
Card Game.
DEATH SOON RESULTED.
Morgan Made His Escape
and Has Not Yet Been
Apprehended.

James Morris was shot and killed
Saturday afternoon at / o'clock by a
young negro said to be RIB. Morgan.
The shooting occurred in a box
car near the Illinois Central water
tank, where Morris and several 9TH
Those said to be with him
were Ohio Mabry, Alonz1 Ma
bry, Livey Owen and young Cato.
The negro came by the car and
finding the game about to break up,
as one of the men was out of money,
he asked to be allowed to get in the
game and being refused said he
would back Cato, the player who Was
"broke.
To this Morris replied, I'VE don't
want you or your money in the
game. but want you to get out of
here"
They cursed each other and Nor
ris arose from the squatting position
he was in.
Morgan had his coat on his arm
and had gotten 81 in change and was
in the act of leaving the car, when
Morris again told him to get out Of
the car. and the other men except
Cato and Alonzo Mabry ran out, ex.
pecting trouble.
Morris. it is said, put his hand If
his pocket, but before he could draw
Morgan shot. He jumped out OF
the car and Morris said, Boys, he
has killed me, and reckon the thing
for me to do is to kill him." and
walking to the car door shot three
times at Morgan, who was running
away. Morris then took up his mon
ey from the floor and got out of the
car and started to town with Alonzo
Mabry. After walking a short dis
lance, he sent Mabry back to get his
coat and before Mabry returned he
fell. Later he was brought to the
depot on a car and died in about an
hour.
Morris was shot squarely through
the chest near the heart, the bullet
passing out near the left shoulder.
His wound was necessarily fatal
and he died in about an hour.
His children reached the depot
short while before he died. Almost
his last words were 1T is terrible to
die this way"
Morris was about 40 years of age
and leaves wife and several chill
dren. 80
Morgan made his escape and al
though a the rough search was made
and has been kept up since,
he hasnot been appreher ded. He ran
