Coon After Chickens
Brought Fusillade of Shots In..City
In Early Morning.

People living in the central part OF
the city were startled about 3 O'Clock
Monday morning by number OF revol.
YER shots which rang out on the still
morning air Visions Of murder. ra-
pine and riot ran through the minds of
half-awakened paterfamilias. but il was
none Of these.
Ben Wearen and George II. Farris
were only repeIling the assaults of a
coon upon the pens Of fine Oppington
chickens, which are the delights Of Mr..
Wearen's eye. No. II was a four-leg-
ged coon. but he was fully sustaining
the traditional desire Of either the hu-
man or quadruped tribe for fat chick
en- meat Several volleys from all the
available revolvers in the house dis
abled his eoonship. but il required sew
eral knocks on the head with a ham

that the coon was playing possum. The
coon was the property Of Spencer Hig-
gins, Jr.. and made his escape some

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
GETTING in SHAPE
For Central Kentucky Tourna-
ment To Be Held at Lexing-
ton Early In May.

The young athletes Of the Stanford
High School are making active prepa-
rations for the Central Kentucky High
School Athletic Tournament and Track
Meet which will be held on the State
University field in Lexington early in
May. II is expected that athletic rep
resentatives from fully 25 high schools
in this part of the State will be pres.
ent to compete for the prizes which will
be offered, as well as to win honor and
glory for their respective schools. Two
years ago the Blue Grass Graded School
Tournament was held at Lexington
with fine results, and revival of this
with.a larger scope this year promises
to be big event in high school circles
in Central Kentucky.
Stanford's crack man in the tourna-
ment will probably be Harris Coleman.
who is developing into a shot putter of
great strength and.skill. He has smash.
ed previous high school records already.
and is now going after the State record.
On trial work at the school campus here
last week. he put the: shot 1884 feet.
Coleman threw the shot the first time
about a month ago, and those who have
seen him at work believe he will soon
be able to break all records. He is a
powerful lad in every respect, and is a
star foot ball player as we'll as an all
round athlete. Coleman has already
made record of los feet at the ham
mer throw.
Wallace Singleton is showing up fine
in his pole waiting and can now get
over eight feet. He has gone over five
feet on the running high jump, with
Ed Rankin close second.
In the l00.yard dashes and 22O and
400 yard runs. the Stanford school will
depend upon Wesley Embry, Mike Pen
ny. Will McCarty, Thomas Bright and
Lester O'Bannon for the principal
work, and all are making good records.
The high school boys are taking great
interest in this coming meet and will
be in fine shape to uphold the honor of
Did Lincoln. IL is expected that they
will gain some valuable pointers this
week when Arthur Long, the crack
Blue Grass Lacquer. who is to coach the
base ball team at the school, takes
charge of them.
