KILLING OFF HARGIS MEN.
Breathitt County, Kentucky, Feud Is
Becoming More Bloody.

Paris, KY, Nov. 2S.-Light on the
feud situation in Breathitt county,
where, according to reliable reports,
followers of the late Judge James
Hargis are being killed off at the rate
of one a month, IS expected to result
from trial which began here today.
The case is that against John Da
wilson, Hacker Coombs and Jason
Deaton, charged with the assassina-
ton of John Abner, Hargis man, in
Jackson last June. The case was
transferred from Breathitt county on
the states plea that it could not get
fair trial there.
Abner, according to the confessions
of alleged companions, helped muir
der DIR. B. D. Cox, James Marcum
and James Cockrill, after being hired
for that purpose by Hargis and Ed
Callahan.
Whether the present trial will re-
suit in an exposition of the situation
in Breathitt county will depend large
ly upon the willingness of the states
witnesses to talk. Several of them
have said threats have already been
made against them.

FIREARMS SEIZED BY
MEXICAN AUTHORITIES
SITUATION IN MEXICO BECOMES
NORMAL AGAIN - SHIPMENTS
STOPPED.

Lare3o, Texas, Nov. $50 far
as the Mexican revolution is connect
ed with focal conditions, every
thing is quiet and there is no fear
of further batch of what is termed
sensational news. According to re-
ports received on both the American
and Mexican sides of the border
everything is placid. The only de-
velopment today and which can not
be considered especially remarkable
at this time, is the seizure by the
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, postal and
customs authorities OF 800 pistols.
These weapons, which came from the
United States by registered mail,
have been accommodating for several
days and were returned to this
country today with the statement
that they constituted prohibited i'm
portations into the republic of Mex
leo.
\ reasonable ground is given for
the receipt of so large number
of firearms. In all probability there
are numerous persons in Mexico
who, having become apprehensive
over the alarming rumors that have
been recently current, felt that as
a protection to themselves and their
homes, they should go armed. Fire
arms being now almost impossible
to secure in Mexico, resort was had
to he various mail order houses in
the United States, which sent the
pistols through by registered mail,
as has been the custom FOR years
past until the outbreak of rouble
during the period in which Bernardo
Reyes was alleged to have been a
candidate for the presidency.
The Mexican authorities have
shown leniency in the matter and
instead of making seizures, as was
permissible under the law, they
have returned the weapons to the
shippers, with the explanation that
it was contrary to the law to i'm.
port anything of such character.
A prominent American official OF
this district today received an anon
ymous letter, written in Spanish,
stating that if he did not desist in
his efforts in behalf of the Mexi-
can government he would meet with
death. The official refused to be quot
ed in the matter and desired that
his name should not be published.
He takes the threat as a joke, not
withstanding that several of his
friends have warned him to exercise
the utmost caution.

FISH NO ANIMAL.
Kansas City PeddIer Charged With
Cruelty.


st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-That no
fish were on the ark with Father
Noah and that therefore the creature
is not an animal was the position
taken by Associate City Attorney
Mortimer Levy today in nolle pross-
ing the case of Louis Kram, a ped
dler accused of cruelty to animals.
The case was dismissed over the
emphatic protest of Judge Williams
Jefferson Pollard who argued the die
tionary defined fish as an animal
and that it was an animal in every
sense of the word.
We'll, there were no fish on the
ark" said Levi, "and I refuse 70 pros

near White Eagle, has been arrested
charged with senling two black
mailing letters to James McGraw
president of the Farmers National
Bank Of this city.
McGinnis, when placed in the coun-
ty jail at Newkirk, admitted send

wanted the money to pay a visit
to his broher. He demanded 1000
in each case.

Graw to throw the money from the
car window of a moving train when
two shots should be fired as a sig
nal. An attempt was made to catch
the sender of that letter, but ow-
ing to the fact that no shots were
fired at the appointed place, the at
tempt was unsuccessful.
The second letter, received recent
ly, demanded that t~r money be
buried near the railroad bridge OF
the Santa Fe. Through the postmas-
ter at Bliss, who remembered selling
two stamped envelopes to McGinnis,
the boy was caught and confessed.
His father is a veteran of the

PROCEEDINGS TO CONFlSCATE
PROPERTY BEGINS DECEMBER /.


PROPERTY BEGINS DECEMBER I.
Ardmore has in progress today a
cleanup crusade that is based upon
common-sense judgment there is
no prejudice in the fight, there is
a spirit of fairness shown, there is
an enthusiasm for better town
behind the movement and there Is
a determination to win. SO far the
city officials have borne all the bur
den OF the fight. Sheriff Akers says
he wants to see the law enforced
but that his deputies cannot get
fees for their work under the new
fee bill and for that reason he has
not taken active part yet. The city
officers ought to have the help of
the county officers. Sheriff Akers
has some good men on his force
that are interested in law enforce
ment, ana we are inclined to the
belief that these men will get
busy in the field, yet.
In the morning session OF the
municipal court yesterday there we're
twenty cases, but only ten of them
were for plain drlnks. The Ard
morete had the wrong information
when it stated twenty plain drunks
were before the judge. There were
ten drunks, six fights, two weap-
ons and two for selling whiskey.
The city officers have made hoz-
ems of raids, they have captured
quite lot of intoxicants from resi-
dences where it was kept for the
purpose of being sold. In the joints
there is often but one piece of a
bottle, as the other IS kept in hid
ing, probably in some residence,
and the matter of law enforcement
under these conditions is diff
cult one.
County Attorney Mathers will get
busy Thursday Merely as matter
of courtesy to property owners and
tax payers he said he would not
begin active work until the first
day of December Many of the joint
lists had paid their rents to that
time and a lawsuit would be re
quired to eject them that could not
be terminated before the first, and
on the first day OF December pro-
ceedings will be brought TO confis-
cate every piece of property that
is being used as a place for whis-
key selling.
Ardmore today has a worse state
of affairs than If it had the legal
lied saloon. But there is no need
for the present state of affairs It
may require a steady fight of six
months. a year or even two years
to rout the jointists, but it can be
done
Letters TO the boari of county
commissioners have been sent them
today requesting that they make ar
rangements to furnish pay TO men
under Sheriff Akers TO hep in the
work. If they can do so under the
law, they will grant the reques,
as the board of county commits
sioners are in hearty sympathy with
the movement to make Ardmore
a better town.
The grand jury will be in session
within a few days and then some
of the boys will be thinking of join
ing the Mexican revolutionists and
leaving Ardmore for a time, until
the storm blows over.

Robert SALESMAN, prominent citi-

other day long enough to relate the
other day long enough to relate the
strange churchgoing experience of
his son, Chester. The boy had been
in the habit of going to church with
his mother, but one Sunday she was
unable to go and he persuaded her
to let him go by himself. Well, when
he returned from the seat Of gos-
pei dispensation, his mother was anx-
ious to ascertain how closely he had
paid attention. She asked him what
had been the text of the sermon.
Don't worry, you'll get the quilt"
replied the boy promptly.
The mother failed to see the con-
nection. Once more she inquired
about the text, and the boy repeated
his remark, Don't worry, you'll get
the guilt
This about convinced the mother
her son was getting bit too fresh
for so small a child, and she made
up her mind to punish him. Just
then she saw a friend going home
from church, and she called after her
to learn what the text had been.
Here's what it was: Have no fear,
The comforter will be with you" -

Interest at today's meeting Of the stock
exchange centeIed about the securities of
the gas company. The gallery" was the
largest for months. while the members
were wei represented. In addition to the
action Of the stockholders of the company
at the meeting yesterday authorizing the
payment Of a dividend on the physical
valuation of the property of the company
ana the issue Of over three millions Of j
per cent bonds to fund and pay off the
outstanding bonds of the company and
allow margin for betterments, 1t was
known that the directors had decided to
declare dividend at the rate of $3.50 per
share year.
While everything that had been uncer-
tain relative to the gas securities had
peen settled yet when the stock was
reached the trading appeared to be I'M
certain. 1t was stated by President Wood
run that while no official announcement
mad been received by the exchange from
the company as to the dividend, yet it
was generally understood that 1t was a
quarterly payment Of $1.20 per share. He
said the stock would be dealt in ex. divi-
dend.
The first bid was 1917. an advance
OF two points on the best recent SELL
Ing price Of the stock The asking
price was 81. Ten shares were taken
at that level. and then a quotation lot
Of twenty-five shares sold for 8OH, and
the next sale Of similar lot was at
80, and fifty shares were offered at
the same price. but there was no buyer,
and the trading closed with 1914 bid
and 80 asked.
The trading was uncertain and spirit
less, and the demand for the stock
was limited. while there did not seem
to be many sellers.
The new dividend basis. namely, the
physical valuation Of the property of
the company, is said to be thirteen and
a half millions of dollars. on which
the company is to earn per cent
The interest charge on the new bond
issue of $3,200.000 is to be deducted.
