HARTFORD, KY. WEDNESDAY JANUARY % 1911

covered, during an examination of
the affairs of the Bank of Center
town, that some of its directors had
grossly disregarded the law by Dor
rowing very large amounts in ex-
cess of the amount allowed by law.
The examiner could not tell
whether the bank was impaired or
not, without further examination,
and reported the facts to DR.. Ben l..
Bruner, Secretary of State, who
promptly ordered the bank closed on
Monday, January 90.
On that day a meeting of stock
holders and directors was held at
Centertown, at which Mr.. Alvin
Rowe was unanimously selected to
act for the bank as Aquidating
agent, and he accepted said trust.
1t was further unanimously decided
to prosecute any official who suffer-
ed the bank to lose on account of
such officers irregularity, and each
and all the officers are arranging
deeds to the bank, and the wives Of
such officers are giving up all sepa-
rate property to save the honor Of
the officers and the interests of the
depositors. II is not now believed
that any depositor win lose a cent,
though all of them must suffer some
delay and Inconvenience. The action
of the officers and their families will
secure practically all the indebted
ness owing by the directors, and the
other largest debtor to the bank is
amply good and will secure every
cent by mortgage.
The first reports were in error
and it is hoped to put the bank on
its feet in a short while.
NOTE-In the latter part of the
above statement made bySeGyetary of
State DR.. Ben L. Bruner, in which
he says: 81 cannot be too emphatic
in my statement that my examiner
has found the other banks that he
has examined in this immediate
community in excellent condition. he
referred to the Bank of Hartford,
which was examined the 18th day Of
last month and the Beaver Dam De-
post Bank which was examined the
18th of this month. these being the
only other banks examined so far in
the county.

NOT A PENNY YET PAID OUT

Greensboro, Ky, Jan. 21.-James
H. Parrish, former president Of the
defunct greensboro Savings Bank G.
Trust Company, was indebted to the
bank in the sum of $199,3OO when
the bank closed its doors. A final
order Of distribution was entered
in the bankruptcy proceedings
against Parrish this afternoon. Re-
ceiver Pedley. of the Savings Bank,
will receive the munificent sum of
$498 on the claim against the for
mer bank president. In other words,
the distributions of his assets
amounts to one-fourth of ! per cent.
Parrish claimed his liabilities
amounted to $3O9,65O, and assets to
$252,567. The trustee in bankrupt
cy was able to realize only $4,000,
the greater portion of the Junk"
that Parrish claimed as assets being
worthless stocks in wildcat concerns
that he had organized, and his prop
erty was mortgaged to the fullest
extent.
He listed Insurance policies at
$35, 900 and the trustee says they
are worth just 5000. T. b. Yeager,
one of the petitioners to throw Par
IRISH into bankruptcy, had 2 claim
of SIG. The trustee will make out
a check for 4 cents. payable to Mr..
Yeager as his part of the Parrish es-
tate.
Mr.. Parrish is serving a fve-years'
sentence in the Eddyville penitenti-
airy for his part in wrecking the
bank. There were deposits to the
extent of $1,OOO,OOO, and the receiv-
err has never paid out a penny, al
though the bank closed nearly three
years ago. 1t will never pay over
cents on the dollar.

NOW HERE Is SOME
VERY HEAVY TOBACCO

Leslie Moore, a farmer living
near Morgantown, has a small crop
of tobacco which seems to be unusu-
ally heavy. When he first cut it he
placed it in his barn, which soon fell
down with it. He moved it to an
old log house, which fell down with
1t a few days ago. He has now
moved 1t in one room of his resi-
dence and it has sprung the house
so that none of the doors can be
closed. II Russellville Democrat.

SEEKS A DIVORCE FROM
HER SECRET HUSBAND

Clay, KY, Jan. 21.-Much surI
prise was occasioned when Ledge
Cozart, by her attorneys Baker &
Baker and Harris & Blackwell yes
terday filed a petition in the Web
ster Circuit Court asking for an alb
solute divorce from Herman z.
Clark.
This is the first intimation that
the public has had that the young
people were man and wife. The
facts seem to be as follows: Some
time in the early part of 1910 the
young people arranged for mar
riage, which fact became known to
their parents, who, rather than have
them elope, agreed TO the union. aud
accompanied them to Evansville,
Ind, on March 5, where they were
married, it being agreed, however,
between all the parties that the
bride, because of her tender years,
should remain with her parents for
at least year. and the groom
should continue to live at the home
of his parents. 1t was further
agreed that they would continue to
be seen together as formerly, but
would not make engagements and
go with other young people.
So smoothly was the game played
that their most intimate friends had
no suspicion of the true state Of af-

COAL MINES Of
OLD KENTUCKY
Among the Safest, Says
Bureau of Labor.
The ElRElGN.RORN MORKMEN
Often Imperil Lives BY Their
Reckless Disregard of
Mining Rules.
THE HEAVY TOLL OF A DECADE

Washington, Jan. 23.-Through
misunderstanding of orders or by
reckless disregard of the necessary
rules of operation, foreign-born
workmen, without actual experiences
in mining, who are employed in
large numbers In this work, often
imperil not only their own lives, but
also the lives of trained and expe-
rienced workers, according to a bull
letin on fatal accidents in coal min
ing" made public to-day by the Blu
reau of Labor.
The figures cited in the bulletin
are principally for the decade end
ing for 1908. during which period
the fatal accidents in the coal mines
of North America were 29,293 and
the rate per 1000 employees in the
industry was 81. During the dec
ade ending in 1906, the latest for
which figures for other coal mining
countries were available. the aver
age fatality rate in North America,
says the report, was 3.13 per 900.
This, it is said, was decidedly high
er than the fatality rate in other i'm
portant coal fields of the world. Fig
ures for few other countries for
the same period are given by the
bulletin as follows United King
dom, 1923 per 1000 employees; Aus
tria, 1.35; France, 1.S1, and Prus-
STA, -2.13. o.. --s--
1.-The full extent of the risk in coal
mining in North America" the re-
port continues, us, however, not
clearly shown by these figures for
the coal fields as a whole, but con-
sideration must be given to the rates
for each geographical section.
"These show that in the East Cen
trail section, which comprises West
erp Kentucky. Illinois and Indiana,
the fatality rate for the twenty years
ending with 1908 was only 2.25 per
1000 employees. while in the West
ern section Colorado, New Mexico
and Utah) it was GA 3er 1000, and
in the Pacific oCast section wash
ington and British Columbia), per
1000. 1t would appear that the va
ration in the fatality rates is due
to different mining methods and to
differences in the coal seams"
While the fluctuations in the rate
from year to year have been consid-
cradle. the bulletin continues, since
1898. it has never fallen as low as 8 |
per 1000. An important relation
to the number of fatalities is the |
length of mine experiences, and the
bulletin cites that of the l ,669 per-
sons killed in West Virginia in the
period ending with 1908,
one-fifth had worked less than one
year in the mine and over so per
cent. had been at work less than five
years.
Mining methods in the United
States" says the report in conclus-
on, ARE often crude, and known
safety precautions are either disre-
sarded or not used. Child labot
avs have been, and still are, indif-
erently complied with in many
States, and a humber OF fatalities
'ccur each year among children at
IN age when they should be in
chool. In 1908 ten children of IS
md IA. and thirteen children Of Is
ears were among those whose
eaths in the mines were recorded
n the official reports" I

A GREAT FAIR Is PROMISED

The State Fair at Louisville will
be held on the old dates of Septem-
Der IL to Il. inclusive, the State
Board of Agriculture at meeting
held at Lexington Thursday after
noon deciding to reconsider its re-
cent action of changing the dates
to begin on September 4 and finally
adopting the dates which have here
tofore boon used in all the years
since the fair was established. The
board also announced a handsome
premium list for tobacco exhibits.
the announcement being made now
so that the growers may save their
samples for exhibit from the crop
which is now being put on the
market.
Special premiums to be given at
the State Fair were accepted from
the American Aberdeen Angus AS
ISOLATION, the American Southdown
Association, the American Shorthorn
Association, the American Duroc-
Jersey Swine Breeders Association.
and the American Polled Durham
Association.
The change of the dates for the
State Fair back to September II
practically settles all controversy
over this question, and will prevent
any conflict either with the Indiana
State Fair or the Bourbon County
Fair, which is the oldest fair organ
ization in the State, and which has
always begun it's exhibition on Sep
TENDER A.
When the change was made 10
September 4 it was chiefly for the
purpose of avoiding conflict with the
Indiana State Fair, but almost ST
multaneously, without knowing OF
the action of the Kentucky board.
the Indiana officials changed the
date for their fair to begin Septem-
Der 4. Having learned of this ac-
tion, the Kentucky Board of Agricul-
ture promptly moved the fair back
to the old dates, which is expected
to give satisfaction on all sides.

Terrible Accident in the
Katy Yards
BODY BADLY MUTIlATEO
Head Was Decapitated and l.eli Arm
Was Gut 0Il-Wss Caught
Under the Board
ing Cars

Caught under the wheels of the
boarding cars OF the Katy bridge
gang in the yards here late Thurs
day afternoon Oliver Il. Mahan was
instantly killed and the body ground
almost to pieces. The head was en-
trely severed from the body, the
left arm was cut off, the left lower
limb VAS split open, the right am
and right leg broken and practically
every bone in the body WAS crushed.
The body was dragged about ten Vt
fifteen feet and the decspitated head
der tho cars.
Manan was about twenty-fivs
years old and his home was Gaines
VILE where he had wife residing.
He was cooking for the bridge build
ers and had been with them only
four or five days. The members of
the crew knew practically nothing
about the man except that he lived
at Gainesville. The bridge gang had
been In Waxahachie two days maxi
ing some repairs on the bridges and
culverts near the city and the board
ing cars were standing on siding
near the junction OF the Katy and
Brazos Valley tracks. Thursday af-
ternoon the Brazos Valley was do
ing some switching in the yards and

| the Katy When these cars wer,
| transferred TO the Katy tracks the
| were given kick by engine No. As
| so 1t Is claimed. which sent they

terrific force. Just how Mahan W.
caught under the cars Will probab
never be known, but the suppositiC
is that he was climbing. into one
the cars with an arm full of sto
wood and was knocked under Il
| wheels when the crash occurre,
7 This belief is strengthened by real
on OF the fact that quantity @
| wood was strewn between the rail

| were entered at the end and In or
der to reach the doors 1t was nee
essary to climb a short ladder at the
corner. Mahan is supposed to have
been on this ladder and fell on the
rails when the cars were struck by
the Brazos Valley engine.
Shortly after the accident Justice
of the Peace Tidwell was summoned
to hold an inquest He took the
statements of he Brazos Valley

When the inquest had been finish

charge of the remains and prepare
them for burial. The fragments OF the
body were gathered up and taken
to the underakers' parlors where
they were placed in coffin. Rela
tives at Gainesville were notified OF
