With Judge w. P. Sandidge. of the
Seventh Judicial District, presiding as
special Judge, the March term of the
Bourbon Circuit Court convened yes
terday afternoon. Owing to delays in
making connections in coming from
his home in Russellville Judge San
didge did not arrive from Lexington
until noon and at 80 convened court.
Col. K. B. Franklin is present to look
after the interests of the Common
wealth.
The grand jury. which was drawn
and sworn. is composed of the follow
ing: ]. N. Steele, foreman, James
Liter, j. S. Roberts. Walter Kenney.
Ed Tucker. ID. L. Robbins. A. T.
Moffett. George Rose. w. j. Calvert,
JIM Dodge, Newt Smith and b. F.

Judge Sandidge instructed the grand
| jury at length upon the duties before
them and dwelC at some length upon
/ the felonles and misdemeanors COM
mitted in the community. While he
said he was not familiar with the ex-
listing conditions in this county, there
was no doubt the numoer of homicides
compared favorably with conditions in
| the district in which he presided. IN
which he stated he had tried more
than one hundred charged with such
Offenses during the past five years.
The peace and dignity of the COM
| munity he said depended largely upon
| the investigations and actions taken
! by the grand jury and all matters COM
ing before the body SHOULD be tn reshed
out and thorough investigation con-
Quoted. In many cases where 0ifenses
| of various natures were committed.
the perpetrators made their escape but
where the case warranted an indict-
m ent it was the duty of the grand ju-
ry to make such return.
Another matter which Judge San
didge brought to the notice of the
grand jury and in which The b dy
was urged to conduct a pressing inves-
tigation was That of perjury. Many
witnesses ne said come upon the stand
and swear away the life and liberty of
the accused and go unpublished because
OF the laxity of grand jury investiga-
tions. He instructed them to probe
! into such cases as would come to their
notice and if sufficient evidence to war
rant an indictment could be secured ii
should be returned and the offenders
punished to the full extent of the law.
Judge Sandidge touched upon the il
i'i' !e of liquor in local option terri
tJiy, the sale of liquor on the Sabbath
and the violation of the law by the
saloon keepers in selling or giving in.
toxicarts to minors. The grand jury
then retired to take up the work be-
fore it.
Z The remainder of the afternoon was
taken 10 in reading the ordinary and
equity dock cts. and the assigning Of
cases for trial. The most important
suit to come up at this term will be
the damage suit of James Mcclure

The official investigation into the
traffic in votes in the counties of
Floyd. MaRoffin and Knott. which
was recently inaugurated by Circuit
Judge Garnner and Commemorative
Attorney William Fl. May, promises
to rival the revelations recently made

wealth's Attorney May. in letter to
the editor of Lexington paper. states
that great work is being done in the
bribery investigation in lloyd county,
where the grand jury is still in session
and applying the probe, and that a
large number of indictments have al
ready been returned. He says that
between 500 and 600 indictments in
Floyd county alone are expected before
the grand jury adjourns.
Both Circuit Judge Gardner and
Commemorative Attorney May have
gone after the alleged offenders to
break up the corrupt practices that
have been going on in these mountain
counties for years, aud the indict-
ments against vote-sellers and vote
buyers are expected to run into hun
dreds before the investigation is

Society Was Shocked.

In st Louis society circles were
shocked by the elopement and mar
rage OF a society belle to q chauffeur.
Why such rumpUs should have been
raised over this affair is exceedingly
strange to ordinary folks. a good

eligible TO marry, no matter If the
family of one moves afoot and the

much more desirat lie husband than one
who comes from the higher walks of

the upper 400 would cease their pur-
suit of titled nobility and foreign
dukes and nOblemen and expend more
time in selecting poor but honest
Americans as husbands, married life
would be one of happiness and the
