The Lexington Company of the
Kentucky National Guard has been
ordered to Maysville, where they
will guard w. 7. Ham, a white
man, under indictment in the Ma
son Circuit Court on the charge of
mistreating two little girls last
July. whose trial was called at
MaysvilIe Monday and Ham was
given sentence of 40 years in the
penitentlary.
Hams crime aroused public in
dignation to such a FITCH that
threats of lynching had been
been heard frequently in Moson
county and it was believed that if
he was brought from the Jail with
out military protection he would
be taken from the officers and
lynched. Ham is 81 years old and
a cripple. He was taken to Gov
ington after his indictment and
held there for safe-keeping.
1t seems that Ham was in the
habit of giving a little outing par
ties to the small girls OF the neigh
borhood at which he excluded all
boys. Nothing was ever thought
of these outings as Ham was con-
sidered Il sober, industrious man,
and apparently devout church
member, attending church and
Sunday School regularly every
Sunday. He was employed on
the farm of Mrs. Z. T. Reese, IA
widow living in the Shannon pre-
cinct.
On Sunday, July 8, 1911, he
took three little girls out for a
walk, and in his wanders he at
tempted to attack one of the little
girls, aged II years. Tie child
came running to her mother and
told her of Hams conduct.
The mother was Mortified be-
yond belief, but was convinced
something was wrong so she con-
fded the child's story to her
brother. A quite investigation
was started to verify the girls
story. and then came 10 light the
crimes of which Ham had been
guilty.
The still hunt developed the
fact that Ham had been guilty of
criminal conduct with one child
aged 10 years for four years, and
another for three years. The lat
ter is now II years old. The
girls themselves made the confes-
sion. Thereupon Ham was con-
fronted with their story, which he
vigorously denied at first, but
finally confessed after being told
that the girls had told their story.

Visitors to the Lexington trOts
next month will see many changes
and improvements at the famous
race track of which, perhaps, the
most noticeable and pleasing to
the eye is the cenrer-held where
the landscape gardner has done
much to beautify the natural con-
ditions. An additional row of
boxes the full length of the grand
stand has been added, concrete
curblng has been put in to all the
driveways approaching the stand.
New cooling paddocks, with in
creased space and numbers are
among the most commendable i'm
provements so far undertaken.
Some new barns have been erected
while every needed repair has had
attention and general cleaning
and fresh paint helps complete the
effect. From the new president,
Mr.. Ed. A. Upton, down the line,
and including all the residents of
that section, arrangements are be-.
ing made for the best meeting in
the history of the association and
the largest attendance is confident

LORD OF THE MANOR
 LIVED AT HIS EASE
Had a Bed and a Wagonful of Plunder in Frame
 Under a Flat Gar
(Indianapolis News.)

With a lair built in the steel frame under a flat car out of sight, but in the heart of the city, a small, dusky young man has led a life that harks back to the primitive, as nearly as possible in the city and the civilized twentieth century. Bicyc1emen Ruck- CT and Dickison this morning found the hiding place of the young man whose actions have been such as to arouse lively curiosity among resi- dents and railroad employees in the vicinity of Delaware and South Sts. They also found a miscellaneous col lection of plunder, articles of clothing tools, soap, tin receptacles, leather belting, carpets, buckets, sponges and a trinket or two, believed to have been stolen.
 They did not find the lord of the manor, however. He had glided away into the railroad yards just prior to their approach.
 According to the statement of rail- road men, for weeks they have seen the stranger shabbily and scantily clad, haunting the Pennsylvania yards in the evening or early morning. He is not a friendly fellow and no one out of curiosity his actions were watched. He seemed interested in nothing in particular, at least not while observed, and he always had a way of disappearing under line of steel flat cars that have stood for some time on spur track just west of Delaware Street and south of South Street. Where he hid no one knew
 An employee of the Osborn Manu- featuring Company missed some tools He had seen the stranger in the vicin- ity and followed him.. As before, the stranger crawled under one of the cars and was seen no more. The owner of the tools watched for him to come out on the opposite side of the car, but he didn't appear. Exas- perated, he crawled under the car, and the mystery was explained.
 The small stranger had built false bottom under the car with pieces of lumber, leaving a small opening to crawl up into the apartment He had a comfortable bed there, and room for so much plunder a wagon was re- quired to take it to the Police Sta tion. The police are looking for the young man. They have a description but have been unable to obtain a name. They destroyed the cave mans home at the request of the rail- road men.

what Happened to Jones. "

One of the funniest farces seen upon
the American stage in years, and at
the same time one that is entirely
free from unpleasant suggestions in
its lines and situations, What Hap
pened to JONES' in three acts, by
George Broadhurst, is underlined for
production by the Columbia Players at
the Columbia Theater next week.
1t had an extended run following it's
original production at the Manhattan
Theater. in New York. in 1897, when
it's cast included such accomplished
farceurs as George C. Boniface, jr.
George ODER, r. F. Cotton, Mrs. Mckee
Rankin, Anna Belmont and Katherine
Osterman.
The play. like the current bill, THE
American Widow is one that re-
quircs handsome costumes and elab-
crate stage settings, all of which are
promised by the management. The
shops and workrooms of the Co.
lumbia have been busily engaged for a
week in preparing scenery, properties
and other accessories for the production

Lorna Doone.'

The Belasco Theater Stock Company
has an especially interesting offering for
next week, in Willard Holcombs drama
romance of EXmoor. Lorna Doone.' 1t
was not Mr.. Holcomb's intention that his
play should be publicly presented until
next season, when ii is to have an ella bor-
ate production. But he was so impressed
with the personnel of the Belasco COM
pany and its particular fitness for a
capable performance, that he consented
20 the early presentation of his new play
by the local company.
Many dramatists. both in England and
America, have attempted dramatiZation
of this famous romance. Only one of the
efforts ever saw the stage. and this at
years ago. when it proved to be lacking
in dramatic worth. Mr.. Belmore. the
stage director of the Belasco company,
heard a reading of the play last Sunday
night, and was so impressed with it's
worth that arrangements were at once
entered into for it's presentation. Lorna
Doone' will require a very heavy pro-
duction, but the Belasco company feels
equal to the task.
Percy Standing will impersonate John
Ridd, Charles Hopkins will be seen as
Tom Fagus, Fuller Mellish as Sir Ensor.
Lionel Belmore as Counsellor. Sheldon
Lewis as Carver Doone. Osborne Searle
as Charlesworth, Willard Robertson as
Earl Brander. William Connolly as Jan
Fry. Charles o. Shaw as Bill Dodds and
Samuel Hines as Jem Slocombe. The role
of Lorna Doone will be taken by Mrs.

HEAVYWEIGHT FISH CAUGHT.
Sturgeon Which Tipped the Scales
at 40 Pounds.

One OF the largest surgeons that has
been caught in the upper Potomac in
several years was captured day or two
ago above Glymont and was on sale at
the 11th street wharf market yesterday.
The big fish was captured by George
Fearie, and was shipped TO George Stuart
to sell. II weighed. without head and
spawn, 40 pounds. and sold at IL cents
a pound. A bucketful of spawn was
taken from the fish, and this netted the
fisherman over $50. so that the capture
of one fish was good weeks work.
Sturgeon. which a few years ago were
very plentiful in the river, have become
so scarce that in the course of a season
hardly twenty five are caught. where
hundreds were formerly taken. Twenty
years ago there was but little demand
for the fish. and at the shores in the
spring they were considered TO be not
worth shipping TO market. but were given
away. Today a full-grown sturgeon will
sell for a hundred dollars or more. and
the fisherman who catches one in the
course of a season considers himself
mighty lucky

Cupid May Interfere

There is always the chance that the
summer romance will make vacancies in
the teaching forces. and on this one
chance the normal school graduate looks
forward to an appointment some time
within three months OF her graduation.
So far only six teachers have resigned
because of marriage. but the experience
of the school officials is that the summer
romance always plays havoc with the
teaching ranks.
