MEETS BROTHERS HE
HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE

Glasgow, KY, April 22.-An af-
seetseHate meeting between aged
brothers who had never met before
took place here yesterday. d. w.
Ward, aged iftY-six- years of Knox
Vile, Iowa, had two brothers, B. c.
Ward,of Elbow Springs, this county,
and w. l. Ward, of Randolph, Met
calfe county, whom he had never
seen. A few days since he wrote his
brothers he was coming to visit
them, and when he stepped from the
train, each recognized the other. d.
w. Ward was born in Iowa and
when quite a small boy secured a
good position in Knoxville, Iowa,
About this time his parents decided
to come to Kentucky to seek their
fortune, but the boy remained at his
work, where he was steadily promot-
ed and soon had business interests
of his own. The other brothers were
born and reared here, and though
having correspondent with theil
brothers, they had never met before

SHORTAGE is UNPAID
SHERILL NOT ARRESTED

Word comes from Utica, KY, that
the shortage of. w. A. Sheriff., the
former cashier of the Utica Deposit
bank at Utica, still remains unpaid,
and the officials of that bank know
nothing as to when 1t will be settled.
AS soon as Sherrill's shortage was
discovered, which is said to be over
$4,000, the bonding company, surety
for Sheriff., was notified, and a rep
resentative was sent to check up the
books of the bank, and it is under
stood the examination disclosed
about the same amount as that found
by T. A. Pedley, who discovered the
shortage.
Sheriff. left greensboro and was
later located in Webster county, but
when the representative of the bond
ing company went in search of Sher-
rill, he failed to find him, and he has
not been heard from since. The bond
ing company has made no effort tc
have him arrested, nor has 1t paid
the shortage.
Mrs. Sheriff. and children are still
at Utica.

INDICTED FOR ATTEMPT
TO BLOW UP NEIGHBOR

Glasgow, Ky, April 22.-The ex-
aiming trial Of J. 2. McFeeley
resulted in his being held to await
the action of the grand jury under a
5000 bond, which he executed.
McFeeley is charged with having
constructed an internal machine by
stufing a wagon thimble with dyna-
mite and attempting to blow up
Deputy Sheriff Trigg Ennis two
years ago.
It is alleged that McFeeley placed
the Internal machine near Ennis
barn and lured Ennis near it by
hanging a lot of paper on bushes.
When Ennis went to investigate the
paper he heard q sharp report and
saw man running through the
woods, whom he recognized as Nc
Feeley.
McFeeley denies the charge, and
claims that he will be able to estah-
fish an alibi. Trouble % severa
wears standing existed between the
two mon.

PROTEST AGAINST SENTENCE
&t,5 GIVEN MELVIN GRANT

SBarretts Ferry, Ky.,Apr. Bed
itors Herald:-A large number OF
the citizens, and especially the par
ents, have requested me to write,
giving their disapproval of the mild
sentence given Melvin Grant for the
criminal assault on little Olivia
Harrison. They think the parents
of the child should have been allow
ed In the grand Jury room and that
the jury should have made full
investigation of the case before re-
turning the indictment. He was al
lowed to plead guilty to an entirely
different charge from that commit
/ ted, without notifying the child's
father.
Now, the fact Is, he ran the child
nearly a mile before he caught her,
and then, after choking her nearly
to death, committed his fiendish act
and fed to the woods. The citizens
or posse spared his life, believing
that justice would be given him and
the horrible deed avenged.
Here is a sweet little girl whose
pathway was all sunshine and flow
ers, which is now blighted, and the
fond parents filled with grief which
time alone can eradicate.
A. CITIZEN.
Editorial Note-The Statutes of
Kentucky regulate the sentence CIV
en- offenses like that recounted
above. The only charge which
could be proven against Grant was
attempted rape, which was as far
we understand, as the girl testified
he went, and the jury gave him the
full limit of the law in this case
two to seven years. No doubt he
deserved more, but the exigency Of
the case nor the limit of the law
would not permit it. 1t was one Of
those peculiarly aggravated cases
which hinge upon the actual con
summation of fact, and in which
the law seems to be greatly or some
what at fault. The insufficiency o
the law in a case like this was the
only trouble. Only one witness at ;
time is allowed to testify before thu
grand jury. The court officials wer,
: not blamable.

driven by Thomas d. Carpenter Of rs

NO CLJE TO .NAIL ROBBERS.
Theories as TO How Paris-Iyons Train
was Robbed state Responsible.

Special cable Despatch 10 The SuN.
PARIS, Nov. TO- The police still have
no clue to the robbers Of the Lyons mail.
The train. which was exclusively posts
train. left Paris at s:2O Friday evening
and made six stops before reaching Lyons
at 1855 Saturday morning. The first stop
was at La Roche at 1919. II is believed
that the robbers operated before the
train reached La Roche, "a the train
slowed down outside tho town, circum-
stance which would have given them n
good opportunity to jump from the train.
The mail train consisted of six railroad
post office cars in which there were forty
seven mail sorters and six other cars with
lookout boxes on top. such as are some
times used as the caboose of freight
train. These cars were used because OF
the shortage Of regular mail coaches.
The robbers probably mounted the cars
on the of side a Paris. climbed the ladders
at the end of the cars. broke the glass and
entered the outlook boxes.
Tho Stat" is responsible for the losses
as the railroad only contracted to supply
transportation

Mr. Gaynor has been chief clerk of the
department since 1901 The Mayor. il
is said. will respect Mr.. Fowler's wishes
and appoint Clerk Gaynor to the position
of institutions registrar.
The Department, Of Institutions Regis
tration was founded by Mayor Quincy

succeeded, was the first registrar.
