Last month an effort was made in
a joint convention to reach an agree
ment. 1t was a stormy meeting and
at no time were they near settle
ment.
The operators claim they cannot
grant the increased wages demanded
by the men because of the competition
from nou-union men and dealers in
fuel oil and gas is too keen.
For thirty days railroads and other
large consumers of coal have been
storing fuel and no immediate famine
is feared.

Riverside Park
By The Young Men And Boys
OF The City
The New Bath House Has
Been Completed

The board of control has completed
the bath house at the swimming hole
in the creek at Riverside park and full
arrangements have been made for in
structing the boys in the art of swim
ming and assisting them in their gam.
es and water sports. The board has
arranged to open the house for the
use Of the bathers, for dressing, each
day and has made but the one rule
that trunks be worn by all the men
and boys who use the creek for bath
ing.
This being public grounds they feel
that this is the best plan for all con-
cerned, and is a reasonable rule to
make.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion has agreed to furnish instruction
for those who desire to learn to swim
and who wish to learn some of the fin
er points of the sport. etc. Mr.. Bliss
physical director of the association, or
some one whom he will select, will be
at the creek certain days of the week
for this purpose. The days for this
week are Thursday and Saturday af-
ternoons, from to o'clock Parents
can be assured that their boys will
he looked after during these hours.
Certainly there could hardly be any
thing of physical nature more bene-
fetal or desirable than every person
in the community being able to swim
well.
The people of the community will
greatly appreciate this move on the
part of the city council and the board
of control 1t is one of the best things
that has yet been done in behalf of
the play life of the community. This,
together with the splendid care that
is given the entire Riverside park, and
the new drinking fountains that have
been ordered for the already splendid
monument square park are indica-
tions that the city officials desire to
boost the play grounds movement that
has been talked of so much lately.

Death came with terrible swiftness
Sunday to Edna Smith, the thirteen
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
G. Smith who reside about two miles
south of Lexington, at the home of
her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Mckinley in Lexington. Her broth
er, Jay, twelve years of age, pulled
the trigger of loaded shotgun, the
charge entering her heart and side.
Death was instantaneous.
The affair is one of the most trag-
ic that has ever occurred in Lexing-
ton. 1t was surely one of the most
distressing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and son and
daughter went to Lexington Sunday
to spend the day with the grandpar-
ents of the children who reside on
Frederick street,
In the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs.
Mckinley went to the Earhart home
to attend the funeral of Mrs. w. Efflo
Maxwell late of this city. 1t was while
they were attending the funeral that
they were summoned home by the
news of the dreadful accident at
their own home.
The two children went out to a

KILLED
Instantly By Discharge OF
His Own Gun
Was Scott v. Myers OF
Liberty Township
Fell From A Gate With Gun
In His Hand
And The Shot Passed Through
His Body
Most Distressing Accident
Tuesday Morning

Scott w. Myers, a prominent citizen
of Liberty township, was accidentally
shot and instantly killed by the dis
charge of his own double barreIed shot
gun as he was endeavoring to climb
gate on his farm shortly after a
o'clock Tuesday morning. The load
from the shotgun entered the mans
right side above the hip and came out
the left side. Death no doubt came
instantly.
Mr.. Myers was awakened Tuesday
morning about A o'clock by the chick
ems who we're making a peculiar noise.
He got up and dressed himself and
started to make an investigation. He
discovered that hawk was among
the chickens and was doing consider.
able damage. Mr.. Myers went back
to the house and passing the door of
his wife's room he inquired how she
had rested during the night. Mrs.
Myers inquired as to the cause of the
excitement among the chickens and
hawk had been among the chickens
and he further remarked that he was
going to get his shot gun and try and
kill the hawk.
Mr. Myers then went to another part
of the house and securing the ham
merless double-barreled shotgun, load.
the kitchen door and onto the back
porch. After leaving the house Myers
walked toward the barn and a small
shed between which was a gate. In
order to get better view of the chick
en- yard 1t was necessary for Mr..
Myers to go through the gateway. 1t
is the supposition that being in hur-
ry he did not take time to unfasten the
gate, but decided to climb over. The
weight of his body broke the gate
from its hinges and the gate and man
fell to the ground. AS Mr.. Myers
struck the ground the left barrel of
! the shot gun was discharged and the
entire contents entered his right side
above the hip and passed out the left
side of his body.
The noise produced by the discharge
of the gun brought Mrs. Myers and a
son and daughter to the scene and
when they reached Mr.. Myers death
he'd resulted. A physician was call
ed, but his services We're of no avail
Coroner Neasse was also called and
after making an examination, pro
nounced that death was due to the ac
cdental discharge of the hot gun.
Mr.. Myers was about 50 years OF
age ard had been resident OF Lib
erty township for many years. He is
survived by his wife, one son and
three daughters, one of them being
Mrs. Jesse Sensil of this city.

grandfather to be used to shoot chick
enhawks. He never thought for
minute that the gun would be used
for such terrible purpose.
Jay Smith picked up the shot gun
and was toying with it when it ex-
ploded and the contents of one of the
barrels entered his sisters side and
back. The charge penetrated the
child's heart and she expired immed
