LINCoLN'S SON SEES
STATUE UNVEILED

HODGENVILLE. KY, June Few
men have had to undergo in life time
the experience yesterday Of Robert I.
Lincoln, president of the Pullman Car
Company, during the unwilling cere-
monies of his fathers statue here.
Usually fame does not place ner seulp-
tured laurels on the brow, of the great
until their sons are dead and their
grandchildren only claimants.
In this county, three miles from the
town of Hodgenville, Abraham Lincoln
was born and for the first time yes
terday the descendants of the neigh
bors of "Tom" Lincoln and his wife
gazed upon their grandchild and the
son of the man who gave the name of
Hodgenville a place in the language. Z
Mr. Lincoln is a not unusual appear
ing man Of six and sixty; and as he
sat for several hours in comparison
to the huge bronze statute of his father
that Artist Weineman had prepared in
the town square, it is likely that every
person of the thousands gathered there
compared MS lineaments with those OF
the martyred president. His every
move was watched his every word
hung upon, and old schoolmates and
descendants of those who went to the
Nolynn school with Little Abe" pass
ed about him with kindly words.
When the ceremonies were done, the
sun and the fatigue and the general
strain had been too much for Mr..
Lincoln, who leaning on the arm of
Henry Watterson, made his way to his
carriage and then. to his private car
to recuperate without having been able
to gaze upon the humble cabin three
miles away in which the savious Of
the Republic was born. -.-

Oliver Alleged To Be
An Escaped Convict.

WHIGHAM. Ga. June IA. D. Oliver
the reputed Millionaire who 1t is alleged.
has swindled and defrauded people In
south Georgia of large sums and who has
been a mystery to everybody to know
from whence he came is now known II
is claimed as an escaped convict from
Mississippi. It is said he has been identi-
fed and the authorities viii be notified at
once. q
1t is claimed that oliver gave worthless
drafts to the bank of Whigham for over
twenty thousand dollars which were CASH
ed at the bank but never paid by the
bank upon which the drafts were drawn.
The bank II IS claimed would have been
the loser of the whole amount had II not
been that the officers of the Whigham
bank secured deeds from oliver for some
property that reliable parties had decided
to him for stock in the Southern Manu-
featuring company. The bank OF Whig-
ham is practically safe in regaining their
loss.
Oliver, as he called himself, has been
leading a wide row since his arrival in
January. He passed as a multi-million-
aire and bought all kinds Of property
without even being asked to pay for IL.
There are scores of poor farmers and
merchants who had deposited every dol
lar they had in the Climax bank, feeling
that IL was safe who are now without
their money and only four cents is left in
the vault.
