charged with violation of the game laws
by illegal transportation of trout.
Williams is employed by the contractor
Of the up-river stage route, and OCCASION
ally drives the stage. Game wardens, in
searching the stage for game, which they
suspected was being transported for the
Bar Harbor market, found a trout which
young lady who had been in camp up river
was sending to her home in Ellsworth.
The trout was not properly tagged, OF, ac-
companied by the owner, and IT'S convey
ance was therefore violation OF the game
laws. Judge Hall, in imposing the mini
mum fine Of SO and costs, said that while
this was technical violation Of the law, it
was not in the class of violations which
the game wardens were active to prevent.
The execution Of sentence as to payment
of fine was suspended on payment Of costs.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
dropped dead in New York Monday of
heart disease, just having left the New
York Yact Club, where he had been to
call for his mail Admiral Schley was
seventy two years of age and was re-
tired on a pension. Admiral Schley
was born in Frederick county Md, in
1889, he graduated at Annapolis in 1860
he served with distinction in the u. S.
Navy during the civil war, and has
since served his government in many
important capacities, and at many i'm
pOrtant posts. He commanded the
Greedy relief expedition lin 1884. His
last and most daring feat before his re-
tirement was the destruction of the
Spanish fleet at Santiago during the
Spanish-American war, this occurred
on the 18th day Of May 1898, and the
credit of the action was claimed by Ad-
miral w. T. Sampson, who was Schley's
superior officer and left him in charge
of the fleet and short time thereafter
the engagement occurred which result
ed in the destruction of the Spanish
fleet. However after a rigid inveStiga-
ton, Schley was accorded the full cred

Untiring In His Efforts.

The following letter written by John
NJ. Farra, President of the Garrard
county Development Association, to Mr.
DcsEa Breckenridge, who is one of the
Directors of the Traction Co. and which
was published in last Saturdays Lex
ington Herald, we publish in order to
show that the efforts to get the propos-
ed road through Garrard county are by
no means being allowed to lag, upon
the other hand, every effort is being
made and every argument is being used
to convince the Traction people that We
have the ''only way" Suffice to say
that Mr.. Farra submitted to Mr.. Brock
inridge a complete data of schedule,
with distances and all other necessary
information that would tend to convin-
ce him of the truth of his assertions.
Lancaster, KY, Sept. n, 1911.
Mr.. Desha Breckenridge, Lexington,
KY.
Dear Sir: Inyour editorial in yester-
days Herald regarding the question of
crossing Kentucky river by the Kentuc-
ky Traction and Terminal Company,
and suggesting the purchase from the
Q& COT their old bridge at High Bridge
KY, has caused a good deal of COM
ment from the people in this section,
who are most anxious to see the Trac-
ton Company extend it's lines from
Nicholasville via Camp Nelson to Lam
caster. Danville and Harrodsburg.
From what we know of the physical
conditions to be overcome in securing a
suitable crossing of the Kentucky river
we are convinced that the easiest and
best crossing and grade for a traction
line can be had at Camp Nelson, and a
line built over this route would cost less
per mile for construction, exclusive of
TIE bridge, than any route penetrating
the territory South of the Kentucky
river, which is as you suggest fertile
field for traction development.
l am enclosing you government
map of the route from Nicholasville to
Lancaster, Danville, Stanford, Crab
Orchard and Harrodsburg, together
with some data regarding distances
which l trust you will carefully look in
to and urge that you, as a director of
this Traction Company, present this
matter to the company, and if possible,
to secure survey of the route here
outlined.
We would be glad as representative
of the people in this county in this mat
ter, to take you and any other directors
you may secure on an inspection trip
by automobile over this route at any
time you find it convenient to do so, be-
lieving, as we do, that the many advan-
tages offered will be more apparent af-.
ter careful survey of the territory
between Nicholasville and this point.
Yours very truly,
JOHN M. FARRA.

Killing Below Bryantsyiile.

At White Oak, a negro settlement
below Bryantsville on the road leading
to Buena Vista, last Saturday night
about O'Clock, Harrison Preston, a
white man about twenty five years of
age was shot in the stomach with a
pistol, and died in the Lancaster hos
pital about noon Monday as result of
the wound.
The negroes were having pie sup
per or festival, and much liquor was in
evidence and good many of them
were drinking, young Preston claims
he was standing on the side of the
road when several negroes came up to
him and with out any words or notice
of his intention, he alleges that Allen
Jones one of the number shot him.
Preston also charged before his death
that Ed White another negro drew a
knife on him, and he also stated that
Henry Cooley colored witnessed the
trouble, and that he, Cooley, remarked
to Jones. ''You shot that man and
shot him for nothing" The officers
who went to the scene found Cooley in
beastly state of intoxication and
brought him to town and he is in sail,
being held as witness, Ed White is
also in Jail charged with being an ac-
cessory to the crime. Allen Jones
came to town Saturday night after the
trouble and caught the Sunday morn
ing excursion for Cincinnati. Officers
are on his track and if caught he will
be brought back here for trial for the
crime with which he stands charged.
The dead man bore a good reputation
and worked for Mr.. Charles Coulter in
the vicinity, His remains were buried
at the Mount Olivet cemetery Tuesday
afternoon.

Shooting Near Mt. Hebron.

On Monday morning at the home of
Mrs. Rains in the Mt Hebron neighbor-
hood James McWilliams received a
pistol wound in the back which passed
through his body, inficting what is
thought to be fatal wound. Mrs.
Rains, at whose house the trouble Oc-
Cured. says that McWilliams and
Lotion Ray came t. her house earlier in
the day and both were drinking, that
the Whiskey was brought there with
them, that they were scuffling in and
out of the house several times, and
that finally she heard pistol shot and
went in and found McWilliams shot,
and that Ray was in the room and re-
manned there for some time. finally
leaving and he has not since been seen.
McWilliams in a statement says that
he did not see Ray shoot him. DR..
Burnett, Dr. Rose and Dr. Elliott went
to the scene and did everything posi-
bic for the wounded man, but they en-
terrain very little hope for his recovery.
Sheriff Ballard and County Attorney
Robinson also went to the scene, but
Ray, had left before their arrival. A
warrant was sworn out for Ray charg-
ing him with the shooting. The in
jured man is about As years of age, is

History repeats itself in Pennsylvan-

The Fair.

The fair meeting scheduled for last
Saturday afternoon drew a good at
tendence, but only two out of the
twenty seven gentlemen appointed to
secure stock reported. They had Sc
cured subscribers for LOG shares, and
if the other gentlemen will do any,
thing like as well, the affair will surely
be success.
A meeting will be called for Satur-
day October 18th at the court house at
2 o'clock, at which it is hoped that
every one of the solicitors will be
present, as we'll as all those who have
taken stock and all other citizens who
are interested. At this meeting some
final action will be taken as to whether
or not a Fair Association will be or
ganized along the lines heretofore ex-
planned in the Record.
This scheme to organize fair for
ALL the people of the county is not
calculated to grind any mans axe"
and if it is wanted, come forward and
help us by subscribing for stock, and
by your presence and suggestions at
the meeting. On the other hand if
you wish by your apathy to indicate
that you are not in favor of fair of
this kind, do not want it, why, well
alright, we have honestly endeavored
to secure for the county a fair in
which a general county interest would
be manifested, and if you choose other
wise, we can assure you that Garrard
county will not be without fair next
year, tho probably not along the lines
we would prefer.
Now let us make one last appeal to
you, come in and help US. Let US get
up fair that will be the envy of our
surrounding counties, and one that
will be to the credit of the county,
and to the advantage of all her people.
Once more, won't you come and
help US.
