Running for Office
This is the game;
Handing out cards
With your face and your name,
Making bum speeches,
Spending your pelf,
Wearing your lungs out
Boosting yourself.
Shouting your virtues
To one and to all;
Citing your fitness
For what may befall,
Telling the voters
Lined up at the bar
Just what a splendid
Good fellow you are.
Running for office
And losing your rest.
Saving the air
And beating your breast,
Pounding the table
And yelling like thunder,
Trying to make EN-

HORRIBLE Boiler
EXPLOSION
Another Mine Horror This Time in
This Couniy-Victims Of Dis
aster Blown to Atoms.

Two men are dead and much
property destroyed as the result
OF another terrible mine disaster
to be added to the long list in
Western Kentucky.
The scene Of the latest horror
is the Bell Coke q Coal Mining
Company's mine, which is located
about a mile from Tradewater,
in an issolated spot in the hills of
North Crittenden. The first in
timation neighbors had that any
thing had happened was short
ly before midnight Monday by
the shaking of houses and rat
tling of windows. Many people
walked from sound sleep terror
strickened and waited for further
manifestations, but from the
dull, heavy sound they decided
that there had been an explos-
ion.
The machinery at the Bell
mine was being run at night in
order to pump water out of the
shaft. The men in charge were
j. T. Clifford and Charles Travis.
When last seen by the other
men of the mine they were alive
and well, but when the men
rushed to the mine after the ex-
plosion they found only mangled
pieces of human beings.
The big boiler had exploded
with terrible force, wrecking the
building and hurting tie men
high into the air and mangling
them almost beyond recognition.
Sorrowfully their friends
gathered the torn remains to-
gether. but Travis head was
missing entirely and could not
be found. The men were both
well known and had families.
Clifford came from st. Joseph,
Mo.
Travis head was found later.
He is a brother of E. Jeffrey
Travis our county school super
intendent, who left for the scene
at once.

A New Rabbit Law.

Much misapprehenrion as to
game law passed by the last Leg
islature has arisen in this county.
and probably in many other
counties, especially as to setting
traps and snares for rabbits and
other game. The act that pass
ed was very brief and is as follows:
That it shall be unlawful for
anyone to set a steele trap. dead
fall or snare, or to loose or hunt
with a ferret upon the premises
or property of another without
first securing the written consent
of the owner of the premises or
property. and anyone thus offend
ing shall be guilty of misde-
meanor and upon convictisn shall
be fined not less than $5. nor
more than S25.
Having in possession game
caught as set out in section l,
shall be prima facie evidence of
guilt as herein provided.

James Herrin is a free man.
The verdict which was handed

case has been hard fought ore
from the beginning on account of
the prominence of the parties
both the accused and the victim.
Fred Daughtery who was killed
by Herrin two years ago Christ
mas eve day, was popular and
well connected. He married 2
most estimable young lady, Miss
Lille Franklin. and they had
one child beautiful boy. That
death should come so unexpected
ly and so suddenly between Fred
Daughtery and his loved ones
was q shock from which it will
take them many a day to recov-
er. 1t was no less a shock TO
the man who found it Necessary

the defense. Commonwealth at

crowded the court room and
heard the speeches and taking of

say it was a battle royal and that
every point was contested to the
last ditch.
The case was called Wednes-
day and it took the better part
of two days to get the jbry,
which fromthe first was recog-
nized as a good one and one cap

SOLDIER HAVE TILT
Judge Gordon Promptly Directed
Sheriff to Bring Soldier Be-
for the Court.

An amusing episode in connec.
uon with the term of the Circuit
Court now in session. with Judge
J, F. Gordon on the bench, was
a clash between the civil and
military authorities Saturday
when a soldier who was sum-
moned to appear before the
grand jury refused to accept
the summons.
Judge Gordon promptly direct
ed sheriff Joel A. C. Pickens to
bring the young gentleman be-
fore the grand jury at once and
TO summons sufficient deputies TO
do so. The officer lost no time
in getting the soldier into the
jury room but when once there
the military genius refused to
answer any questions. When this
was reported to the court, Judge
Gordon directed the sheriff to
bring the soldier before the
court. which that officer lost no
time in doing. The Judge who
is always considerate of every
body did not commit him to
jail for contempt as many would
have done but questioned him in
q kindly and fatherly way as to
his reasons for refusing to give
(Hhe court the benefit of any
IGYledge he might have Of the
5ers before the grand jury.
~ soldier replied that he was
: king under orders from his
hperior officer, and must obey
him. Judge Gordon then advised
him to get in communication with
that superior officer at once and
notify him that the Court held
the military to be subservient to
the civil authorities and that if
the superior officer still directed
him not to testify the court
would at once secure the arrest
Of both the soldier and the su-
perior officer and would see if
they would then continue to re-
fuse TO give the court the imfor-
nation desired. After this ad-
monitor the soldier was allowed
TO go and the presumption is he
telephoned or sent a wireless to
his adjutant as he soon appeared
oore the court and expressed a
Willingness TO tell all he knew,
and while his loyalty to his
is to be admired, he
leaned from the court that dis.
creation is the better part of
valor.
