FIGHT MADE IN PRECINCT 2
Which Had Less Than The Re-
quired Is Per cent Of
Names.

On the ground that the petitioners
had failed to meet the legal require
ments in the matter, County Judge
Walter Knight Tuesday morning,
without objection on the part of the
prohibitionists. refused 60 issue a
call for an election to be held in
Christian County on October 2 I'M
der the new county unit law. The
anti-prohibitionists had presented
the Withdrawals of u of the 101
names TO the petition as originally
signed in Hopkinsville Precinct No.
Y. Judge w. t. Fowler, represent
ing the prohibitionists, had announ-
ced that these Withdrawals would
be contested on the ground that they
were procured by fraud and misrer-
resentation. Judge Knight at a
night session Monday night required
all persons wishing their names with
drawn to appear in court Tuesday
and testify in the case. Judge Fow-
Ter Tuesday morning stated that the
prohibitionists. realizing that this
method of determining the legality
of signatures would prolong the con-
test probably for weeks, had aban-
doned their announced intention to
challenge the Withdrawals and would
proceed along other lines and at a
later date get the settlement Of the
liquor question before the people of
Christian County. With the with
drawals uncontested. there were
fewer than rs per cent. of the voters
of Precinct 2 signing the petition,
and Judge Knight entered formal
order declining to call an election.
The matter cannot be brought up a.
gain until next December.

Col. Roosevelt said it was with re-

OF a great majority of the negro

party, but upon the race itself.

School Contract Matter Still
To Be, Fought In
Courts.
DIVIDED ACTION OF BOARD.
Miss Jennie West, County Sup
erintendent, Breaks a Tie
On $1,000 Appropriation.


The County Board of Education,
at its monthly meeting Tuesday, by
tie vote, the tie being broken by
the County Superintendent, voted
$1,000 of the funds of the Board to
appeal the recent case in which Judge
Hanbery upheld the validity of a
tcontract with the City School Board
made two or three years ago by the
Board of Education. The Board has
undergone change since the con-
tract was made and the suit to an
null the contract was brought by four
members as individuals and lost in
Circuit Court. 1t appropriated 3d.
600 year for five years for tuition
for county pupils in the City High
School. no limit being placed on the
number. Yost & Laffoon represent
ed the plaintiffs in the lower court,
but it is said another lawyer will be
retained this time, if the alleged ac-
ton Of part of the Board stands.
This is by no means certain, as the
superintendent of Public Instruction
may take cognizance of the apprc-
priatlon for court expenses to inval-
idate contract made by the Board
itself.
The action was vigorously opposed
by FIVE Of the Board. and there is
said to be grave doubt Of the right
of the chairman tx fficio, Miss
West, TO vote IN the County Board
in cases of tie. as the statutes give
her the right TO do in district boards.
Those voting for theappropriation
were Trustees Buie, Lace, Mckenzie
and Peden. Those against it were
Henry. Littlefeld. Renshaw and
Kirg.
(YThe county's legal adviser. County
Attorney John c. Duffy. was not
present, being engaged in the Fiscal
Court. Mr.. Duffy says: II was not
asked for legal advice and in my
opinion the appropriation of public
money to defray the expenses of liti-
cation instituted by individuals is
unauthorized. These individuals are
undertaking to contest the action of
the Board as constituted when the
contract was entered into. They |
came into the suit voluntarily and |
are personally liable for their costs
if they want to appeal the case. The
present Board did not deny liability |
on the contract in the suit in Circuit
Court. the contract being resisted
only by the County Superintendent
and these four members acting as
individuals and who now seek to ap-
propriate public school money to pay
the further expenses of their suit"
The first installment of $1,000,
Sc under the contract. has not been
paid. but the city has financed the
High School to point where it will
be opened next month without coun-
ty aid.

Marvellous Deposit of the Finny
Tribe Caught by Hand on
R. 7. Stowe Farm.
CLAUDE CLARK WAS INT
Twenty-Five Acres of Land Had
Been Under Water Since
Last December.

Claude Clark, as fisherman, WIS
certainly happy last Tuesday. The
news had come to his ears that ont
from town, on the road leading frones
Newstead to Julien, fish were beng
taken from sinkhole by the hun.
dreds. That was enough to put Mr..
CLARK into action and getting several
other men together they got into an
automobile and were soon on the
ground. When they reached the Old
R. 7. Stowe farm they found large
crowd there and all had more fish
than they knew what to do with.
On the Stowe farm there is alarge
sink hole and every winter it fills
with water and spreads out over an
acre of ground and the water usual
ly stays there until the beginning Of
spring. There are generally more
or less fish, which are easily caught
by hand when the water sinks into
the earth.
Last December the water rose as
usual, and kept on rising until 1T
formed lake covering about Is.
acres. The water has been standing
until this week, when it began to re-
cede. Parties knowing well what
was in store for them when the re-
ceding of the water took place. were
ready to supply themselves wztAa
enough Of the finny tribe to satisfy
their families for days.,
But they were altogether surpris.-
ed this year with the large deposit
left ty the receding food. Every
body there got all the fish they want.
ed-even Claude Clark, Frank and
George Yosr. Cap Schmitt, L. B.
Desper and others.
"Fishy" as the story seems, and
as may be the language
used by some of those who were
there and who brought home with
them evidences of something out If
the ordinary, great deal of the
wonderful story must be true and
not altogether overdrawn.
Some of them say that the fist
we're there by the ton; some of them
weighed from Is to IL pounds; every
lind that live in fresh water, ana
me of them insists that they found
heir way into Christian by subter-
anean route from the sea-they
we're ocean fish, for he knows what
cean fish are. Another said the big
ole in the ground was so full of big
nd little fish that there was noa
nough water for them to live IN,
nd they were absolutely packed in
omething like sardines in a box, and
on could actually hear them breath
ng, as if crying for air or more wa
err. Another said that the hole was
all of fresh water fish-blue cat
uffalo, perch. silversides. etc., etc
mother said that they were taken
rom the hole with a scoop and N
az full could be taken in this waE
! a few Minutes. but the best plan
lopted was 20 hold open an empty
offee sack and get it full without
ny of the fish being bruised.
OF course some of them got their
mes crossed" and it is pretty hard for
ne to get them Strengthened out
1T the incredulous may rest assured
lat Claude Clark can give them ain
e real facts in the matter. Just
II on him.-don't come to Us fcnv-
rification.
