Of The Knox County Fair
Saturday Afternoon
With Three Of The Best
Races Of The Fair
How The "Steppers' Went
And The Time Made

The Knox county fair closed with
flourish on Saturday, evening, a large
crowd of people being present consid-
ering the short notice given the gen.
program, and those who were not for
tunate enough to have been informed of
the decision of the board missed a
treat.
During the afternoon, when the race
program was on, exhibit owners began
to remove their displays, but this was
after everyone had had ample oppor-
tunity to witness everything. The day
was excellent in every way being fair
and neither too warm or too cold All
present enjoyed themselves and went
home satisfied
The track was in exceedingly good
condition considering the recent heavy
rainfall and all of the races, especially
the 2:20 pace, were of the most excit-
ing and interesting nature.

Murder Suspects Run In.

Pittsburg, Sept. 18.-Scores of sus-
poets have been taken in the police
dragnet since the murder of Paymas-
ter David Steen of the Pittsburg Coal
company, at Woodville. but so far
nothing of a definite nature has been
fastened on any of the prisoners.
Members of the state constabulary
are rounding up suspects everywhere,
but it is still believed that pursuit
became too hot for the murderers
and they are in hiding in some old
abandoned coal mine. AT first it was
supposed that the satchel containing
$4,000 had been taken by the .obbers
The money was found under the
younger Stems body.

TERRIBLY
Burned While Playing With

Was Master Sutton CritChfieId
Saturday Night

Sutton, the small son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. V. Critchfield, was terribly
burned about the face and hands while
playing with a coal oil torch in the
cellar of the Critohfield home on East
High street Saturday evening. He was
holding the blazing torch when it ex-
ploded, throwing burning Oil over his
face and both hands causing deep,
painful burns. Imediately after the
accident the boy, while in great pain,
displayed great amount of self-pos-
session and presence of mind He no.
ticed that the blazing oil had been
thrown on a number of infiammable ar
ticles which were beginning to burn
briskly He gathered these up in his
hands end threw them into the alley,
thus preventing bad fire and prob
ably the destruction of the house. Sut-
ton then ran TO the home of Sheriff
p. j. Parker on Chestnut street and
was taken by Mrs. Parker to the office
of DR.. F. l.. Singrey where the burns
were dressed 1t was at first thought
that the sight of the boys eyes would
be impaired, but it was later found that
the optics were not impaired to any
great extent.

Here lived the gentle peasant prince,
the loving cotter king,
Compared with whom the greatest
lord is but titled thing.
Within this hallowed hut l feel like
one who clasps shrine,
When the glad lips have touched
the something deemed divine
And here the world as long as day
returns,
The tribute of it's love and tears will
pay to Robert Burns"

a number of ladies who were not men,
bers of the club but who desired to hear
