Ohio COUNTY Wins
OUT IN BAIRD CASE
Great Victory for the County In
Winning Suit-Saved Of Pay
Ing Over Sill, 900 and Cost.

In the United States Circuit Court,
for the Western District of Kentucky
the case of A. b. Baird VS.. Ohio
County, was decided by Judge Evans,
last Friday in favor of Ohio County.
The case was tried the firyt week in
May, at Greensboro, for the second
time, having been sent back from
the Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincin-
natl, about one year ago. The de-
cision is a complete victory for Ohio
County, and the attorneys represent
ing the county in the case. Judge
Evans decided the case against the
county at the first trial aud has
all along been declined for the plain
tiff, but the opinion handed down
by the Court of Appeals left him
at this trial, saying in his opinion
that he had indeavored to be liberal
to the. plaintiff, in as much as he
considered it difficult for him to
make out his case under the opin-
ion of the court. Judge Evans dis
missed the plaintiffs petition with
cost. 1t has been a long. hard. up
hill fight for the defendants and the
equity has really been the party
which has been placed in a diff
cult position to defend its interests
because of the ancient origin of the
case and the death OF nearly all of
the witnesses who could have testi-
fled to material facts for the coun-
ty. However right and Justice
have prevailed and the county Is sa-
we'd an immense amount of cost and
the payment of over $11 100000 as un-
just claim as was ever attempted to
be collected. Had Ohio County lost
this case it would have embarrassed
the Fiscal Court in the management
of her financial affairs for yeans to
come and would have forced the coun-
ty to go without many needed i'm
provements which can now be pro
vided for. The result Is a great vic
tory for Ohio County and her citizens

YOUNG MAN STRUCK
BY TRAIN AT DEANFIELD
Is Taken to Fordsville for Medi-
cal Attention-Man Attempt
ed to Flag the Train.

A. p. Pryor, a young farmer living
near Deanfield, was struck by THE
Illinois Central passenger train a
Few miles from Deanfisld Monday
morning and as result he sustained
two severe fractures of the skull,
which the doctors who attended him
think are necessarily fatal
The young man was sand on the
track and attempted to flag the train,
which was running very slowly, in
order that his wife might oabrd the
train and go to Deanfleld. AS the
train approached, he stayed on the
track and was struck by the engine.
The force of the blow rendered
him unconscious and when he was
picked up and placed in the baggage
car on the rain, he was bleeding at
the nose. and ears, his head was
badly cut and it was at first thought
that he was dead.
He was taken to Fordsville where
the surgeons for the railroad COM
pany did every thing that they could
for the man and where he is still be-
ing cared for. 1t is thought however
that the injuries which he sustained
will prove fatal.
The mans wife was standing near
the tack at the time of the accident
and was witness to the whole af-
fair. /. 1t is stated by several of the
passengers that the railroad company
was not at fault and that the acct
dent could hardly have been averted.

Lexington, KY, June 4.-Consider-
ing that the prevailing prices of Ken
lucky crude oil are the lowest ever

the outcome of the work in fields
which have no tan established pro-
duction Is a matter of speculation,
some progress has been made by the

fields may be added to Kentucky's
source of production.

shown gas in commercial qualities.
Further south, in Logan county, a
number of oil wells have been drill
ed and the field will be further tried
out this summer. Warren county,
, bordering Logan, has also shown oil
and gas in small quantities, and Ken

HELPS AND HINTS.

Dear Friends of the Social Corner: should like to join the circle and give a few helpful hints: The follow ing is an old-fashioned way of cookino apples, which I am sure you will like If you try 1t. Fry three or four slices Of salt pork in an ordinary sized spider, then i'll it up with sour apples quartered and cored, but not pared; add little water, cover closely and cook. till tender. Just before remov- ing from the spider stir in two-thirds of cup of granulated sugar. This is an excellent relish to serve with roast pork.
 If you want to get an ezra shine on the kitchen range, mix your black ing with benxine. The range must be perfectly cold when the blacking is applied. or there is danger of an ex- plosion.
 When rubbing butter and sugar to- xsther for cake or cookies, add a ta. blespoon or milk or water, whichever fs used for wetting, and you will be surprised to find 1t much easier to blend them.
 How many of you are braidinz rugs If five strands are braid ed, the labor is greatly lessensd, both in braiding and sewing.
 Perhaps some of you who live alone and make your own gowns find 1t diff f1cult to gA the correct length of your skirts. if so, try this: Spread the unfinished skirt on the bed, carefully BtrAighton 1t lengthwise, they lay on top of 1t a. skirt that is just the right length and chalk around the bottom. Turn the hem on this line. This will be found to be nearly right

A FEW HINTS AND HELPS.

Dear Sisters of the Corner:-Many things are dropped down the register of a hot-air furnace. To prevent them going beyond recall cut up two old window screens, cutting oblong pieces of netting to fit on top of the pipe below the register. Now I can easily lift out register and get the article dropped. Wish had thought of this when children were small. Many things became lost.
 In making orange shortcake put a part of the orange through a food chopper and slice the rest-the short cake will be delicious.
 In making doughnuts add banana to the sugar and egg and cream all together. It gives a fine flavor and the doughnuts will keep fresh longer.
 If you are not partial to the shade of green the faucets have taken on since Mohegan Lake water was used, use . damp cloth dipped in ammonia; . very little rubbing will remove the green and not remove the coating on tho faucet as the rough celaners are apt to do.
 Put tfhese through food chopper Tor macaroni; easier than grating and you get same result.
 hang a cottolene pail full of water down my register as I have no recep- tacle on the furnace.
 I also keep a cottolene pail full of dusters sprinkled lightly with kero- sene; keep pail covered tight; dust CTS always ready, both for furniture and floor. and they do not leave a streak as when wet.

GOOD RULES OF CONDUCT.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: in gold, and that is loyalty,
 Dear Awilda said February 18th. Friends are to be appreciated" and l agree with her, for a true friend I hold next to my own family. I have friends who have exceeded anything I ever thought of. A friend who brings sunshine. is always asked to come again. "A friend in need is a friend in deed"
 If we refuse to do wrong things we should not think we cannot do the right ones. It Is a duty to make ene's self agreeable and attractive and to be useful to our friends. When invited to friends house do not sit around and expect to be waited on and en- tertained; but do your share of the household work where agreeable or II not, try to be entertainin/ to the children, or some other member of the family.
 It is good rule always not to mo- tife little things that go wrong. Do not be flustrated and above all do not gossip; and do not look stiff as though fed on poles inStead of beans, Guilt vate the nicer qualities and become interesting and jolly; but do not nurse conceit, for the self important thought shows to ones disadvantage and is usually glaring fault and a trial even to the friends who overlook it. self-respecting women avoid sbeing prudes A nice little joke: 'swho knows who Who is?

usually prevent flying out; but they will find some place to crawl under the fence unless it is fastened down.
 Green food must be provided. Neighbors have kindly given lawn grass many times. Weeds, vegetables and fruits are utilized. Last summer sowed corn; when between two and three feet high it was cut into inch pieces with a homemade grass-cutter made from a plain knife. The hens ate it like hot cakes; shall plant more this year. l save charcoal from the kitchen stove during the summer and give it with ground oyster shells at all seasons.
 Kerosene Is sprayed generously. Tobacco stems, air-slacked lime, sul- phur and insect powder are put into the nests.
 We store leaves for the scratching pen, and scatter grain for them to work for, and the automatic feeder keeps, them busy, making them happy and healthy.
 For winter, alfalfa meal is mixed with the warm morning mash, and given dry also. We sift the coal ashes in the henhouSe; the dust will destroy vermin and keep the floor in better condition. The dropping boards are cleaned every day. 4 pen of fif- teen hens will produce more eggs than thirty, in house by 16 feet.
 Success to all the Corner friends.
