Joe [. BIandfOrd Gets Two Years and
Six Months.

Joe L. Blandford, who for about
FIFTEEN years was cashier of the West
Louisville Bank, a branch bank of
the Greensboro Banking Company,
and who it will be remembered lit
tie over a year ago embezzeled that
institution of something near $16,-
900. has plead guilty to the charge
at the special term of court held in
greensboro this week to try him for
this offense, and accepted a term of
two years and six months in full
for the charge the Commonwealth
had against him.
This case has created some little
interest in Daviess county, and owing
to the relations Judge Birkhead sus-
tanned to the banking institution, 1t
was necessary that a special judge
sit at the trial of the case. The
case was called three times before
final disposition, twice before Judge
Order, of Bowling Green, and the
last time before Judge Mckenzie
Moss, of Bowling Green.
Blandford made good about $6,-
600 of the money he secured from
the bank, leaving loss of over $780,
900 the institution sustained by his
false entries and populations, which
is said to have covered a period of
about FIFTEEN years.

DECIDE TO PUT
OUT CANDIDATE
For Appellate Judge in
Second District
TO OPPOSE JUDGE ". {. SETTLE
Republicans of District Hold
Wrangling Convention
at Horse Branch.

Despite the fast that they we're
pledged to a non-partisan judiciary,
and that Judge Warner u, Settle
has shown, by his whole course on
the appellate bench, that ne
is non-partisan in his de-
cisions, the Second APP
pellate district Republican committee
decided at it's melting at Horse
Branch, this county. last Saturday, to
hold q convention IN Leitchfteld on
Saturday, Aug. 10, to choose NOM
inee to oppose the incumbent, who is
also the Democratic nominee.
County conventions will he held
OF the preceding day, Friday, Aug
ust 8, to select delegates 10 attend
the district meeting,
The action of the committee was
taken after considerable discussion,
during which ): ". McGuiloeh, OK
Greensboro, made strong plea
against a nomination. He declared
that the Republicans were pledged
t. non-partisan Judio'Nry, and that
Judge Settle had sh0wr. i'll all his
decisions, that he lid not consider
politics in the cases before him.
In their eagerness to find an ex-
cuse for putting out a candidate
against Judge Settle tho delegates
who favored the plan declared that
the party was not bound to- nOn-par-
tisan action until the Democrats
agreed to give the Republicans three
out of the seven judges on the ap-
pellate bench. They also made the
.kexcuse that the nomination Ola can
Ididate for the appellate bench would
aid Nat Howard in his race for Con-
gress, thus showing their willing
ness to use the bench to pull the con-
gresional race out OF the lire.
When the matter was put to a
vote by District Chairman j. Frank
Taylor, of Glasgow, 1t was found that
nine favored the convention, while
five were against IL. Seeing that the
fight was hopeless, those opposed to
the action finally withdrew their OPP
position and the decision of the COM
mittee was made unanimous.
The Second Appellate District Is
composed of sixteen counties aid all
except two were represented at the
meeting, as follows: Allen, Adair,
breckenridge, Butler, Daviess, Ed
monson, Grayson, Hancock, Logan,
Mclean, Monroe, Henderson, OHIO,
Simpson, Todd, Warren and Meade
Judge Settle has represented tho as
trict on the appellate bench for one
term. -,
Judge ]. A. Dean and Hon. Geo.W:
Jolly, of Owensboro, are announced
candidates for the nomination.
There is no hope OF dofeat OF
Judge Settle by Republican.

The above is an exact reproduction
Of the large Standard Mergenthaler
Linotype which has just been Install
ed in The Herald office. A good
portion of this issue of The Herald
(including these lines) is print
ed from type lines cast from this ma
chine.
For several years past we have
been using a type-setting machine
known as a Junior Linotype, made
by the same company and which will
cast the same Kind of line, but it
will not do it so quickly nor so veil
as the new machine. In the future
We will be enabled to give our pa
irons more reading matter. more
news, and are now also prepared to
execute pamphlets, briefs and other
classes of book work, in city style
and at the lowest prices.
The machine itself is a wonderful
piece of mechanism and seems al
most endowed with human intelli-
gence. A complete line OF type is
set at a time and at a single turn of
a lever. This is what earned the
machine the name of "Line-O' type, F"
abbreviated into the single word Lii
notype. Besides the large iron
frame, it is bunch of intricate me-
chanism, composed of slides, cams,
wheels. rods, small belts. &C., all
controlled by the operator with sin
gle elver and keyboard somewhat
similar to that on a typewriter.
The Herald is now perhaps the
best equipped newspaper office in
the State, outside the cities. We
aim to be amply prepared for the
business and shall try to keep pace
with the times.
Mr.. S. P. Damn, an expert Limo
type mechanist of Chicago, superin-
tended the work of installing the
machine. The operator is Mr..
James Nance, who commenced his
Linotype work on the Junior and
who has been with The Herald a
number of years. ...
We invite the public to call and
see the Linotype in operation. Runs

Rain in Kentucky.

While most of the counties in the
State have had too much rain during
June, there are some sections of Ken
lucky where no rain has fallen since
the latter part of May and the crops
are suffering for lack of moisture.

rain than is needed and the crops
have suffered greatly, being back

for this season of the year all crops

approached the safe. AS he did so
he recognized the intruder as a young
negro, Jimmie Holmes. This gave
him fresh courage. He dashed at
his man and struck him a stunning
blow over the head. The negro
quickly recovered and made his es-
cape. Marshal Orb Mason was at
once summoned. He went to Holmes
home and found him still suffering
from the blow he received at the
hands of Mr.. Fritz. The negro was
jailed on the charge of housebreak-
ing and thieving. He had $75 of the
money that was in the safe and was
getting more when Fritz struck him.
He will be held over to the grand
Jury next November.

A BLIND TIGER

kentuCkian Meets Awful

KILLED A SALOON KEEPER
During a Raid-Grief- Strick-
en- Father Identifies
His Dead Son.

Newark, o.. July S.-Carl Ether
ington, aged twenty-five years, en-
ployed Thursday night by the State
Anti-Saloon League as a blind tiger
raider, was lynched here at 1895
tonight, following a day of almost
continuous rioting.
The heavy doors of the Licking
county jail were battered down, and
Etherington dragged from his cell.
He was shot, kicked and bruised be-
fore the street was reached, and his
finish followed quickly.
Etherington early in the evening
confessed he killed William Howard
in a scuffle at 1880 this afternoon.
When the news that Howard had
died came at 8 o'clock, the fury of
the mob took definite form. Large
battering rams were directed upon
the doors of the jail and the doors
fell, after near an hours attack.
Crying piteously, Etherington, a
cdriey-heade6 Hentuchian, was GTas-
ged forth.
81 did not mean to do it" he
walled.
His cries fell upon deaf ears.
Sheriff Linke Immediately asked
Adjutant General Weybrecht for
troops to protect the six other dry"
raiders held in the city prison in an
other section of the town. A hur-
ried guard was thrown out in their
defense.
The mob, after the first taste of
blood, seemed to quite.
Etherington's last moments, while
he heard the mob battering down the
doors, were spent in praying and
writing a note to his parents, farm
ers, residing near Willisburg, Ky.
What will mother say when she
hears of this?" he kent moaning.
