TOO MANY FIRES AND NO
ADEQUATE PROTECTION

Beaver Dam Is about the latest
Kentucky town to receive a baptism
of fire. Five business houses and
livery stable went up in smoke
there the other night, and the loss
is estimated at about $4,000,
partially covered by insurance.
But fire loss is loss pure and
simple, and the people pay the cost
of 1t. There have been many fires
in Kentucky in the past year or so,
and 1t is high time that the small
towns as well as the big towns were
taking some steps for better con-
struction. There are fire traps in
the business center OF almost every
town in the State. So long as these
are allowed to be built there will be
frequent fires of the kind which

BOY DROWNED IN CREEK
WHILE SEEMING THEREIN

The sixteen-year-old son of Har-
vey Brown, who resides near Beech
Grove, was drowned at Rangers
Landing, in a small stream that
empties into Green river, shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock Friday morning.
Young Brown, accompanied by a
number of boy friends, was SEEMING
in the stream, when he inadvert-
emily stepped into deep water and
before his companions could go to
his aid, he sank from view. An
alarm was given and the stream
was dragged about the scene of the
drowning. The body was recovered
shortly before noon. The stream
in which the boy was drowned is
about six miles distant from Beech
Grove, in Henderson county.

WILL CERTAINLY BUILD
LOOSE LEAF WAREHOUSE
At Owensboro, Says Mr.. Nave,
Despite Protests of To-
baCCO Growers.

The greensboro Messenger of Fri
day says:
John H. Nave informed the
boards of control of the Green River
Tobacco Growers Association and
the Equity Home Warehouse Com
pany that he will not rescind from
his intention to erect a loose leaf
tobacco warehouse on West Ninth
street. Mr.. Nave appeared before
the meeting of the boards of con-
troll on Thursday. He stated that
he did not believe that the opening
of loose leaf tobacco house in Ow-
ensboro would interfere in the
slightest with the plans of the two
associations.
After Mr.. Nave left the meeting,
the members OF the joint commit
tee discussed the matter in execu-
tive session. In the next day or
two the plan of action will be de-
termined.
At the mass meeting of growers
held at the court house on last Sat
urday it was announced that if Mr..
Nave insisted on erecting the ware
house, that a house-to-house can
vass would be made among the to-
bacco growers in the Green River
district, urging them to sign
statement, pledging themselves not
TO deliver tobacco to the warehouse.
A resolution was also adopted to
the effect that no bid would be re-
ceived from any buyer who patron
lied the loose leaf warehouse.
1t Is Mr.. Nave's intention to be-
gin the erection of the building on
the site of the stockyards on West
Ninth street at an early date, and
have it in readiness to receive to-
bacco by the time of the fall deliv-
cries.

Frightened After Wound
ing Constable,
AMCCRACKEh COUNTY COUPLE
Attempt To Die Together
Tragedy Is Result Of
Family Quarrel.
HUSBAND FAILED TO KILL SELF

Paducah, KY, Aug. 17.-One
dead, one fatally wounded, and a
third seriously hurt, is the result
of family quarrel to-day at Oaks
Station, eleven miles from Paducah.
When Joe Splitter, II years old,
son of Magistrate Splitter, was ar
rested to-day on the charge of whip
ping his mother-in-law, he seriously
wounded Constable +. G.. Anderson
with shotgun. Disarming the
Constable of his pistol, he drove his
brother-iu-law away. Splitter and
his girl-wife, Inez Splitter, 10, then
left Oaks Station.
Frightened over the shooting of
the Constable, they stopped at a
house and wrote a note asking that
their bodies be buried together.
From the house they walked a
short distance and on the banks
of Clark's river, attempted to die
together.
Spreading a coat on the ground
the two lay down. The girl put a
handkerchief over her face and as
sisted her husband in holding up
the big pistol taken away from the
Constable. One shot entered her
head between the eyes, producing
instant death.
Splitter then put the pistol to his
head and a bullet plowed through
his skull However. he aimed the
shot too high and he did not die,
but physicians say that he can not
live.
Gus English, brother of the dead
girl, when he reached the scene,
wanted to kill the dying boy, but
Magistrate Splitter held him at bay
until the officers disarmed both.
Constable Anderson received a
load of shot in his right side and is
weak from the loss of blood. After
a thorough examination at the Riv-
erside Hospital, physicians say he
has a good chance for recovery. An
derson had his pistol in his hand
when the shot was fired.
The couple married four months
ago and have resided at the home
of the girls mother. 4 family
quarrel took place several days ago,
and savaral hlOws are Saiu IN have
