REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
MEETS ON SATURDAY
Warm Fight Expected Here Between
Taft and Roosevelt Forces
Same IN Garrard

Some exceedingly warm politics is
being played in the counties of the
Eighth Congressional District this
week. by the Roosevelt and Taft
forces. The county conventions
will be held next Saturday, when it
will be decided whether the republi-
cans of this district will instruct
for Taft or Roosevelt.
From present indications a hard
fight is promised in Lincoln for the
control of the county convention to
be held here. The Taft forces under
the lead of County Chairman X. l..
Davidson are working might and main
1t is understood that they have most
of the colored members of the party
with them. though number of the
negroes of the county are said TO
be strong for Roosevelt. The Taft
forces are said to have engaged all
available wagonettes, and vehicles
in Crab Orchard and the West End
to bring the colored "brothers" to
town to participate in the convention
Saturday. The Roosevelt forces,
however, are not discouraged and
say that if they can only get their
men to town Saturday. they will
have large majority of those at
the convention.
Over in Garrard county the hot
test kind of a fight is being waged.
The Roosevelt leaders say that the
sentiment is nine or ten to one in
favor of Roosevelt. but that a NIGH
,y effort is being made by the Taft
men to turn the county for him, in
order that Senator Bradley may not
be discredited in his own county. Re-
liable reports have it that the Taft
forces in Garrard are spending big
amount OF money to turn the tide
away from Roosevelt. All the
counties in this district as well as
over the state are being flooded with
literature from Senator Bradley,
which is being sent out by the active
Taft men to the voters fthe par

WALLIN CASE GOES TO IA
TRIAL THIS WEEK
Raymond Noel Is Fined $3.50 Fsv
Causing Death Of George MUIR
phy-0ther Court News.

After overruliug another notion on
the part of the defendants law,
yers for a continuance of the Wallin
cases until the May term Of court,
Judge Charles A. Hardin late last
Thursday set the case for trial, be-
ginning Monday Of this week. An
effort was made to secure a Jury
last week, but the panels were quick
ly exhausted, most Of those sum-
moned stating that they had formed
and expressed opinions about the
case. Only about three had not, and
they were from the West End Of
the county. The Sheriff was direct
ed to summon one hundred men into
court by Monday, and most Of them
were secured in the west and south
ern sections Of the county, where
little discussion of the case seems to
have been had.
The jury which tried Raymond
Noel, Of Harrodsburg, on a man.
slaughter charge, growing out of the
killing of George Murphy at More
land, few months ago, deliberated
but q short time over the case, re-
turning a verdict filming him $3.50 for
the offense. The contention of the
defense was that the killing was
purely an accident.
In the case of the Commonwealth
against Reynolds, from the Waynes-
burg section, q seduction case, the
jury was unable to agree.
Judge Hardin cleared up a large
number of cases on the docket 50
that there is little Of Importance to
come before the court this week
with the exception of the Wallin
case. This promises to be one Of
the hardest fought cases seen in the
Lincoln Circuit Court in some time.
The jury to try the case was SEE
cured without much trouble Monday,
being composed Of the following:
, Messrs. S. l.. Burdette, Joseph New
ell, j. j. Moser. j. W. Peak, VIM.
Long, T. J. Denham, C. T.. Beck,
Thomas Best. VIM. Moser, j. X.
