found. The Doseret News has alwaya
been n believer III the doctrine live

vested and the energy exercised in the

where any citizens. or tradesman, or
corporations, join together in an

rightfully calls such action con-
spiracy in restraint OF trade. and 1t Is
made criminal act. By all means let
the Attorney General probe the mat
ter to the bottom and do 1t at once,
so that, before the Legislature ad-
journs. we may know, whether any
further laws arc necessary to bring
the public relief from such a burden
as that under which 1t is now suf-
fering.
Every one remembers the combina-
ton the local coal dealers made some
years ago. An investigation was held
by the grand jury. Some indictments
were found, and the combination dis
solved. 1t was not difficult then to
obtain testimony as to an illegal COM
bination: there were too many In
volved. and some one was bound to
come out with the facts. We believe
the officers of the law will be equally
successful now. IL they show that they
propose to handle the question with

or low are involved.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard Of A cold often
forms a culture bed for germs of in
fictitious diseases. Consumption, pneu-
monia, diphtheria and scarlet fever,
four of the most dangerous and fatal
diseases, are of this class. The cul-
ture bed formed by the cold favors
the development of the germs of tbs
diseases, that would not otherwise
find Judgment. There is little danger,
however, of any Of these diseases be-
ing contracted when a good eXpecto-
rant cough medicine like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used. 1t
cleans out these culture beds that IA

remedy has proved so universally sue
cessful in preventing pneumonia. 1t

but minimizes the risk of contracting

GRAY WOLF KILLED
In Christian COunty-Captured
by Negro Farmer After
Desperate Battle.

HoplSinsville, KY, Feb. 8.-Af1er
desperate fight with ferocious white
wolf, James Hardie, colored cropper
on the farm of Lloyd Wilson, in
South Christian, near the Tennessee
line, succeeded in overcoming the ami
NAL and chopped off it's head with an
ak. This is the second wolf that has
been killed in Christian county with
i'm a month. Newstead farmers recent
ly brought one to bay with fox hounds
and ended its career of devastation
among the sheep flocks Of that neigh
borhood.
The wolf killed by Hardie had from
time 10 time, during the last nine
months been Strengthening sheep and
dogs along the Tennessee line. The
negro heard dis tress yelping among
his fox hounds and ON going to his
BARN found his eight puppies dead.
They had been torn TO pieces by
the fangs of the wolf. Two old hounds
had evidently fought the intruder, IS
they We're covered with blood from
gaping wounds.
Hardie saw the wolf making off
in the darkness. He returned to the
house for a lantern, which he secur-
ed, and, armed only with a tobacco
stick, went back to the barn. His two
young sons, one of whom had an AK,
accompanied him. The wolf had re-
turned TO the barn to finish its in
terTupted meal. Hardie's shepherd dog
bravely attacked the animal, but was
nearly killed In a fight lasting but
few moments The wolf then adj
vanced on Hardie, growing and show
ing its fangs. The negro struck the
animal with the tobacco stick as it
sprang on him. Another blow stun
ned the animal, but 1t continued it's
attack until beaten off the man
by strokes of the ak welded by one
o. the boys. Hardie seized the weap-
on from his sons hands and chop
ped at the beasts head, finally sever
ing it completely from the body.
Hundreds of people have visited the
Wilson farm to see the dead wolf.
1t was a large specimen, it's fur white
except for few black spots, and its
head was black. The night it was
dispatched, in addition to Hardie's
eight puppies, it had killed two large
hounds on Harry Walton's adjoining
farm and two bulldogs earlier in the
evening, three miles across the Ten
nessee line.

NURSING Injuries.

We know of man who has a

that the dog has only three legs; he
has four, but he goes on three.
When this dog was pup someone
accidentally rocked ON his paw. No
bones were broken, nor was the lit
tie chap seriously hurt. Being a
great favorite of the family, he was
spetted and began to favor the injured
foot by hopping around on three legs.
Fye got SO in the habit of carrying
the hurt paw that he does so now.
That he has the use of it is shown
when he is chased by other dogs, for
then he takes to all four with the
swiftness of a hare.
Not few of those who are mem
beas of farmers organizations are like

PARRISH TAKEN
TO PEN|TENT|ARY
Sentenced for a Term of
Five Years.
MRS. PARRISH WILL LIVE NEAR
Her Husband During Impris-
Onment-LaSt Chapter
of Great Case.

Eddyville, KY, Feb. 9.-Tonight
James H. Parrish, at one time the al
legged Napoleon OF Finnace OF West
ern Kentucky, occupies a cell In the
state penitentiary at this place. He
was tired and weary after his long
trip from the Hawesville Jail, where
he had been confined for the past
ten months, and sought his little
iron bed for rest early tonight. He
appeared to be sleeping soundly
when the guard made his first round
Of the penitentiary corridors.
When the heavy iron doors of the
penitentiary were closed on the for
mer president Of the defunct Owens
boro Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, late this afternoon, the final
chapter had been written in one of
the most gigantic cases of bank
wrecking in the history of Kentucky.
He was sentenced for a term of five
years, but will be allowed three
months off each year for good be-
havior.
From the time that the bank
closed in April, 1908, until a few
days ago, Parrish has declared that
a Divine Providence would intervene
and that he would never be snet to
the penitentiary. When the court
of appeals affirmed the verdict of the
Hancock county jury in sentencing
him to five years in the penitentiary
on the charge of receiving deposits
when he knew his bank TO be insolv-
ent, he did not give up hope but had
his attorneys file a motion for re-
hearing. When this motion was
overruled he wanted to take his case
to the federal courts, but his attor-
neys could find no grounds upon
which such action could be taken.
Parrish, accompanied by his wife
and adopted son, Phillip Hale Par
IRISH, and Mrs Parrishs brother,
Henry Norman, of Owensboro, ar
rived at Eddyville at O'Clock this
afternoon. Sheriff Brown allowed
Mr.. Parrish to accompany his wife
to the hotel, where they spent about
AN hour.
The prisoner was brought TO the
penitnetiary about 4 o'clock this aft
ernoon. He said good bye to his
wife and adopted son in the office of
the penitertiary and was then turn
ed over to the guards. Parrish was
taken into the cell house and strip
ped of all his clothes. He was given
a bath and a shave His head was
not shaven, his hair having been cut
rather close before he left Halves
Vile. He was next given a suit of
stripes, which he donned. He was as
signed to a cell by himself.
In the morning Warden Hager"
man will send the former bank to
the shoe factory where he will be as
signed to work. II Is not known
what position he will be given. 1t
has been said he may be made the
shipping clerk.
There are $50 prisoners in the Ed
dyville penitentiary, nearly all of
them being from Western Kentucky.
Mrs. Parrish will take up her resi-
dence in Eddyville SO asa 10 be near
her husband. She will be allowed
to visit him every Sunday and oftener
If it is necessary.
