From Lawyer.

Eddyvile, KY, Dec. 16. Trouble
in the night rider trial in which Roy
Merrick, Spunk Creekmur, Villas
Mitchell and Fraud Murphy are
charged with the murder of Axiom
Cooper at Lamasco, last July, was
narrowly averted today, when Wal
lice Merrick. brother of Mrs. LOWE
Roberts and Mrs. Lee Curtis, state
witnesses, took offense at questions
asked them by John w. Kelly, coun.
sci for the defendants. Merrick took
the questions as insults and demand
ed an apology from Kelly.
Kelly refused, and a quarrel fol.
lowed, during which Merrick is said
to have threatened Kelly with re-
yolyer By-standers separated the
two. State soldiers on duty here
during the trialhave been instructed
to prevent further trouble.
The prosecution completed its case
today and in the afternoon the de-

fort to prove alibis for the accused
men. 1t is expected the defense viii

Last Sunday morning there were

Sunday school 4S2 persons. At the
Mayfeld Sunday School there were
present at the same hour more than
800 persons. Maytield leads by al
most 200 in the contest in attend
ance. In offerings the two schools
are near together. The offering
here last Sunday was more than
S14 90. Next Sunday is the last day
of the contest. Both schools will do
their utmost. Mayfied has much of
the spirit of a western town in her
wish to put her best foot forward.
She is to be commended for it. If
the Hopkinsville church wishes to be
in sight of the goal when the race
closes she must do things" this
week. And Mr.. Campbell says his
school will do things" So there
will doubtless be record smashing in
both schools next Sunday.

and trainer of wild animals, died at
his home near Hamburg. Germany,
Saturday. He bore many scars re
ceived in conflicts with animals.
The worlds greatest wild animal
trainer and dealer, was born in
Hamburg, June 10, 1874. His father
was a fisherman who later embarked
in business as an animal trainer with
a small collection of seals and polar
bear brought by whaling expedi
tion from the Arctic. The fathers
venture proved a failure, whereup.
on young Carl, at fifteen years Of
age, took over the outfit and started
out for himself.
Thus was commenced the largest
animal business in the world. With
in a few years he had collected a
fair.sized menagerie and he made a
business of training the wild animals
for exhibition. With the increase of
the business he sent expeditions to
the wilds Of Africa, Asia and South
America to collect animals.
In the suburbs of Hamburg he
established a great geological gard
en- where he keeps his stock in trade,
consisting at times of animals to the
value of over $1,000, 600. Nearly
one hundred trainers and attendants
are employed to look after the great
menagerie which supplies circuses
and geological parks all over Europe
and America.

LARKIN ARRESTED
At KANSAS CITY
Texas Had offered Reward for His
Arrest and He Is Turned over to
Officers From That state.

Following the receipt, by mum
Der of the creditors, Of letter from
j. r. Larkin, formerly in the real es-
tate business here, and who departed
between days leaving several Vinitans
holding the sack, came the news this
morning OF the arrest Of Mr.. Larkin,
in Kansas City. The arrest was made
on two complaints, one by some Of
his creditors in Texas and the other
By Vinitans.
AS a reward had Deen offered IN
Texas for his arrest the Kansas City
police this morning turned Larkin
over to the Texas officers who will
take him back to the Lone Star state
as soon as requisition can be secured
from Gov. Hadley.
Larkin came to this city several
months ago and opened a land sales
office, known as the Bankis-i-srkin
Land company He seemed to be a
pretty nice kind Of a fellow and soon
got in good with the business men Of
the city. While he was getting in
good the business men were getting IN
bad, for when Larkin departed II Is
said he left debts amounting to several
hundred dollars One Of the deals in
which he figured was the one with
A. B Berger, IN which he attempted
to secure several hundred dollars for
the release of forged mortgage on
property belonging to Berger, Berger,
Il seems, had borrowed S400 from Lar
Kin and gave a mortgage to secure the
loan. After Larkin left here he wrote
Berger that he would release the
mortgage for $500. and requested that
the amount be sent TO a bank in Kan.
sas City and that upon delivery be
would release the mortgage The
money was sent and the money turned
over 10 Larkin for mortgages, which
later proved to have been only copies
of the original This matter was
straightened out later by the Kansas
City bank and Larkip's father.
Early this Wseh several ylnltans
received letters from Larkin stating
that he would pay up everything he
owed on October T. The letter stated
that he had been practicing the frauds
on the terms Of a wager and that on
October / he would have won the
wager. According to the alleged
wager Larkln was to swindle as many
people as he could and stay out OF the
reach Of the law until October OF this
year. The arrest at Kansas City VIII
cause a reversal Of Mr.. Lar
kin's statements that he had won the
wager.
The officers here DO not believe they
will get a chance at Larkin, as they
believe the charges IN Texas VIII
prove so serious that that state VIII
have claim on him for several
months to come.
