The Contested Game.

The Maysville Indepenent says:
president Ussery of the league has
received from Umpire Roman and
President Bacon of the Paris Club
signed statements which constitute the
testimony in the contested game of
Paris vs.. Maysville.
"These statements are now in the
hands of the Maysville Club Officers
and today they will examine and re-
turn to the League President for his
decision.
"Tbe Bourbon News seems confident
that President Usery will decide in
favor of Paris"
The News has never expressed any
confidence in the result of the decision
of President Ussery, but from the
facts presented to US as regards the
play which occasioned the protest, we
fail to see how it could go any other
way than be decided in favor of Paris.
Umpire Roman said while in the city
last week it was very clear to him that
he had made mistake For the bene-
fit of those who are not familiar with
the rules we quote portion OF Rule
SO, which in Gur judgment covers the
erase, and which is as fellows:
lone run shall be scored every time
base runner, after having legally
touched the first three bases, shall
legally touch the home base before
three men are put out provided, how
ever, that if he reach home on or dur
ing a play in which the third man be
forced out or be put out before reach
ing first base, run shall not count. .

Poor Accommodations.

Lexington has been busy with her
hammer knocking Paris whenever an
opportunity presented itself and par
ticularly when the Republican Con-
vention was held in this city a few
weeks ago. The Lexington papers re-
ferred more than once to the poor ac-
commodations to be had in this city
especially so Oil an occasion which
brought into the town large number
of persons.
The conclave which was held in Lex
ington Tuesday and Wednesday clearly
demonstrated that Lexington has no
accommodations of which to boast.
In Lexington Wednesday might it
could be heard discussed on almost
every side this subject. A large
number of Knights from adjoining
towns were unaole to secure rooms
and were compelled to return to their
homes.
That Paris was chosen as the next
meeting place for Grand Commandery
gives evidence that some still remem-
Der the hospitable manner in which
they were entertained here five years
ago and Paris will outdo herself when
the Knights assebmle here next May.

Governor Gray and Meridian to
Meet.

Turf lovers from all over the world
will be interested in the announcement
made late Wednesday afternoon to the
effect that Meridian and Governor
Gray would meet in special race on
Thursday, June i, to decide the supeii-
ority between these two throughbreds.
Meridian, as is we'll known. Win the
recent Kentucky Derby, while Cover
nor Gray ran second, and since then 1t
has been a very serious question with
those concerned as to which is the bet
ter horse.
Both owners are willing to test the
merits of their charges, and when the
matter came up little time was wasted
in arranging the details. In fact,
both men were eager for a meeting.
For various delicate reasons the turf
loving public seems to be at sea as tt

Drowned Men Come 10 Life.

A telephone message from Talbot
Station was received here Monday
night stating two suits of clothes had
been found on the creek bank. and
that as no one could be found in the
neighborhood it was evident the owu-
ers of the clothes had been drowned.
The message was received at Police
Headqual ters and early Tuesday morn
ing Ccrnner Rudolph Davis went to
Talbot in company with Patrolman
Fred Link TO make an investigation.
After dragging Storer Geek for two
miles witlcut finding anything that
looked like a corpse it was decided to
take lcok at the clothing. thinking
perhaps they would disclose something
which would identity owners.
A search for the clothing was made
but they had disappeared. The
drowned men" had evidently come to
life and securing their clothes had
made "skiduo." 1t is sthe belief
that the owners of the clothes had
been seining in the creek and we're
come upon suddenly by the parties
who reported the find of the clothes.
Being watched all night they were
compelled to wait their chance to
make an escape without detection.

up to now, but things were getting so
hot that he was dragged in. He was
asked to call on the widow and talk

The elder took a couple Of days to

peace came back and still hovers over

THAT OLD
SPOTTED COW
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1911, by Associated Lit
erary Press.

The village Of Medina had long been
ut peace. No one could recall when
there had been a lawsuit or any trou-
BILE in the church. No fires had taken
place, and no one had been drowned in
the mill pond.
All this was not changed in the
twtnkling Of an eye, but in about a
week. The Widow Strong moved over
there from Granville, and one Of the
things she brought with her was an
old spotted COW. She had a moral and
legal right to do this. She also had a
moral and legal right to let that old
COW run at large in the streets. That
Is the custom in most all villages.
The COW was sized up, but with no
critical eye. She was Judged to be
good tempered and law abiding. She
betrayed a becoming modesty and had
no quarrels. But the town was de-
ceived in that COW. Deacon Pegram
awoke one morning to find her in his
garden. She had eaten every stalk OF
his green corn. He was a good man,
the deacon, but he felt it his duty to
take a club to that old COW and thump
and pound her and run her out OF his
garden. Within two hours after he
had done so he had a lawsuit on his
hands. The Widow Strong proposed to
stand by her COW at all hazards.
or course the deacon had to bring q
counter suit. That old spotted COW
broke into another garden. There was
no corn there, but she was not a par
tcular cow. She filled up on beets,
radishes and cucumbers and in the
morning was found c~omplacently
chewing her cud in the onion bed.
The garden Of a third citizen was
spoiled, then a fourth and fifth. At
shutdown that COW would be lying In
the dusty street with half closed eyes
and q look of innocence on her face.
Three hours later she would be play
Ing the role Of devastator. Most Of the
fences had stood for twenty years, and
she found little trouble in pushing her
way through them. When her eccen-
tric conduct became known dozens OF
citizens sat up nights to get a whack
at her. She did not always come on a
winner, but with the later bugs to aid
her she did fairly well. Every time
she was found. in a garden she wat
thumped; every time she was thumped'
meant a lawsuit; every time there wat
. new lawsuit the town was divided
again.
Things couldn't go on that way. The
selectmen of the village held q special
meeting and decided to officially appeal
to the Widow Strong to sell out that
old cow to the butcher. i
+. ."Not il l know myself" was her re-
ply. ii have owned that COW for thir-
teen years, and ! don't propose to see
no butcher make beef Of her. 1t isn't
the COW, but the fences. Make 'em fx
up their fences, and the COW will stay
on the outside"
Then the selectmen held q special
meeting and ~resurrected an old ordi-
nance by which a stray cow could bs
impounded and held for any damage
1t might do. A delegation waited On
the widow to notify her. and she laugh
ed in their faces.

Now most Of this land has been home
