Finus Madrey Shot Down at his
Home From Ambush on Last
Friday Night.

AS Finus Madrey in company
with his brother, were returning
from church on last Friday night
was shot down by some unknown
party at his home about a mile
from Lola, in Livingston County.
F.S. Damron has been arrested
charged with the crime and plac-
ed under one thousand dollar
bond which bond he gave.
Damron is young farmer, own
in his own farm. So far we can
get no news as to the supposed
ca use and as to the charge
against Damron being sustained
we can give no idea. Everybody
seems to be careful how they ex-
press themselves and under such
circumstances there is little for
a newspaper man to do but give
the fact that a farmer has been
shot from ambush by another
farmer who is arrested and
placed under bond accused of it.
Madrey is badly shot about the
face and body, but will get well
from reports received today.

The history of this Kentucky
Illinois Fluor Spar district will
never be written with the name
of d. c. Roberts left out. Mr.
Roberts came to this district
early in it's development and
with voice and pen assisted in
the work of fiuor spar mining
and finding out what it was af-
ter 1t was mined and what it
was good for before it was sold.
He knew little about spar when
he first came TO this county.
Now there is not a man in the
United States who knows more
about spar in all its various
phases. mined or unmined. This
district gives him credit more
than any other for the work of
educating fiuor spar users. There
is no fuor spar situation of
which Col. Roberts is not master.
Is it any wonder then that the
Fair View mines pays him a
splendid salery to sell fiuor spar?
Col, Roberts territory is the
u. S. He is all over and every
once"in a while down here in the
middle of Kentucky playing
with his grand children.

In the old days Col. Roberts
did a great deal with his pen.
His writings were nothing if not
original. He wrote heavy edi-
torials. Bits of By Play, a learn
ed treatise on metallurgy and
advertisements. His unique ad-
vertisement writing attracted
the attention of a Crittenden
county man who had lost a
horse. He walked into the
Colonels Office one day and after
giving a description of his lost
animal asked the Colonel to
write an advertisement for the
Press"
Mr.. Robert turned to his desk
for few minutes and here is
what he wrote:
REWARD-A reward of So. 90
will be paid by John Plaster
Paris for the return of a lost
horse described as follows:
One gray horse.
