RECOMMEND
Low BID
Brick Street Commits
sion in Session Mon
day Night.
Decided Without Dissenting
Vote.

At meeting of the members of
the Brick Street Commission re-
Gently appointed by the City Coun-
ell, composed of Mayor w. A.
Samuels, Messrs. G. G. Chenault,
q. H. Petry, X. d. Barnes and
Ed. L. William, the five bids
submitted by the contractors for
building the streets were discussed
and the commission decided with
out a dissenting vote to recon-
mend to the Council that the bid
of Hancock & Co., of Louisville,
KY, being the lowest bid received
be accepted by the city. At the
time of our going to press how
ever the Commission has not de-
cided whether to C ept the
PEBBLES brick at $1.90 or the
Portsmouth granite brick at $1.86
per So. yard. While this price is
slightly higher than the work cost
last year the commission calls at
tention to the fact that the con-
tractor who put down the brick
streets last year bid S2.45 this
year.
The commission is composed of
men who are very much interested
as every member of the commits
sion has property that will be
bricked and it is to their advant-
age to get the streets as reasonable
as possible. The council will meet
Monday, February 26, to pass
upon the proposition.

in SERIOUS
TROUBLE
Henry Myers, Father and
Brother, Murder Man
in ". Virginia.
Cause of Trouble UnkaOwn---AlI
Three Men Lodged In Jail.

News has been received by
Sheriff w. F. Crooks to the effect
that Henry Myers, his brother,
Harry, and father, Nelson Myers,
recently murdered a prominent
club man in Summerville, w. Va,
and have been lodged in Jail await
ing trial.
The facts as we get them from a
West Virginia paper are as fol-
lows:
wv. H. Craig, the only living
witness to the tragedy, outside the
accused parties, states that Ham
rick and two of the Myers-Nelson
and Henry-met there in front of
the bank just about twelve o'clock
and had some words and Henry
the younger of the two-said to
his father, You are not going to
let him get awayY" This, Craig
AYERS was repeated time or two,
and as Hamrick turned away, he
Myers-stepped off the bank steps
from where he was standing, and
taking a club from under his over
coat, struck Hamrick over the
head with such force as to knock
him down. Craig says that when
Hamrick fell and rolled off the
sidewalk, young Myers delt him
another blow, and that the old
gentleman, who had been standing
by with an open knife, remarked,
Don't kill him."
Henry Myers resided in this city
city until a short time ago and was
a member of what is known as the
flat gang" The lodge of which
the murdered man was a member,
is going to push the prosecution
vigorously and it looks as if all
three of the men are in a close
place.

FAMOUS
HORSE
Purchased by Mont
gOmery County
Man.
Price Private, But Said to be
Good One.

Mr.. E. R. Little, of this county,
has purchased from Mr.. Brooks
Curry, of Lexington, the famous
stallion, Silent Brook, and now
has the horse at his farm.
Silent Brook is the sire of FIVE in
2:10 list while there are three
more just outside the list, Butter
Brook 2:1O4, Ellen Brown 2:1O4
and Silent Brigade (2) 2:104, be-
sides Margaret Bathgate (4) 2:114,
the fastest four-year-old mare of
her age. Butter. Brook early in
the season trotted in 2:08 with the
first quarter in 81 and the last
quarter in 80 seconds and but for
such strenuous work SO early in
the season would have taken a
RECORD we'll below 2:1O. Ellen
Brown was quite a good race mare
over the twice arounds, took her
record over half mile track and
holds the record for the Lexington
Driving Club of 200 jointly with
The Orator 2:O84. Silent Brigade
is possibly as good a trotter if not
the best trotter he ever sired. He
took a record as yearling his
last effort won the Lexington
Stake from Mainleaf and others
trotting each heat in 2:104.
Mr.. Curry holds the stallion in
very high regard and placed him
ahead of all other stations as sire.
He has owned him two or three
different times and it was for him, |
that Glenn Beachey named the
horse. Mr.. Curry has also owned
or trained some of the very best of |
the Brooks including Billy Burke

NEW GAS
FIELDS
To be Tapped by Central
Ky. Natural Gas Co.
in ". Virginia.
Menefee Wells Failing and the
Supply Nearly Exhausted.

At mass meeting recently held
in Lexington to take action con-
corning the Inadequate supply of
natural gas, it was brought out in
a statement made by Capt. John
Tonkin, general manager of the
gas company, that the gas wells of
Menefee county, from which Lex
ington, Winchester and this city
are supplied, are being rapidly ex-
hausted, although it is fact that
there was more gas pumped into
the three towns during the past
two months than at any other
equal time, but owing to the ex-
treme cold weather the supply was
not sufficient. The company real
izing this has spent $40, 900 drilling
for new wells 10 Morgan and FL
lott counties, but have been sadly
disappointed as it was thought by
the owners of this company that
there was enough gas in these
fields to last for many years.
Capt. Tonkins stated that arrange
ments are rapidly being perfected
whereby the company will connect
with the West Virginia fields,
which are about 80 miles from the
Menefee fields and when this is
done it is said we will have an
abundant supply of gas no matter
how cold the weather gets. 1t is
thought the laying of the pipes to
the West Virginia fields will be
completed by November 1.
1t was brought out in the Lex
ington meeting that the reason for
the limited supply of gas during
the recent cold spell was due to the
inadequate supply and was no
fault of the gas company.
