way than the front one, giving what
is known as "set back. The holes
should be two inches in diameter.
Care must be taken to hold the auger
plumb in boring these holes in order
that the stakes shall fit properly. The
hole to receive the forward end of the
chain should be bored at the same
time.
The two slabs should be held 80 in
ches apart by the stakes. Straight
grained timber should be selected for
the stakes, so that each stake shall fit
snugly into the two-inch hole when
the two slabs are in the proper posi-
tion. The stakes should taper gradual
ly toward the ends. There should be
no shoulder at the point where the
stakes enter the slab. The stakes
should be fastened in place by wedges
only.
When the stakes have been placed
in position and tightly wedged,
brace two inches thick and four in
ches wide should be placed diagonally
to them at the ditch end. The brace
sh ould be dropped on the front slab,
so that it's lower edge shall lie within
an inch of the ground, while the
other end should rest in the angle
between the slab and the end stake.

the middle of the road should be flush
with the edge of the slab. The bolts
holding the blade in place should have
fiat heads and the holes to receive
them should be countersunk.
If the face of the log stands plumb
it is we'll to wedge out the lower edge
of the blade with three-cornered
strip of wood to give it a set like the
bit of plane.
A platform of inch boards held to-
gether by three cleats should be placed
on the stakes between the slabs.
These boards should be spaced at least
an inch apart to allow any earth that
may heap up and fall over the front
slab to sift through upon the road
again. The end cleats should be
placed SO that they will not rest upon
the cross stakes, but drop inside
them, while the middle cIeat can be
shifted to either side of the middle
stake. These cleats should extend
about an inch beyond the finished
width of the platform.
An ordinary trace chain is strong
enough to draw the implement, pro-
vlded the clevis is not fastened
through a link. The chain should be
wrapped around the rear stake, then
passed over the front slab. Raising
the chaiu at this end of the slab allows
the earth to drift past the face of the

should be passed through the hole in

exactly alike. This ca uses the two
parts of the drag to work unevenly
and to interfere with each other. 1t
is also impossible for one man to
operate both parts successfully, as
will be shown later on.
Two mistakes are commonly made
in constructing drag. The first lies
in making it too heavy. 1t should be
so light that one man can easily lift
it. Besides, light drag responds
more readily to various methods OF
hitching and 10 the shifting of the
position and weight OF the operator,
both of which are essential consldera-
tions and are discussed more fully
under the head tHow to Use Drag. -
A drag can be made heavier at any
time by proper weighting.
The other mistake is in tie use OF
squared timbers, instead of those
with sharp edges, whereby the cutting
effect of sharp edges is lost and the
drag is permitted to 81 de over in
stead of to equalize the Irregularities
in the surface of the r ad. These
mistakes are due partly to badly
drawn illustrations and plans OF drags
which have occasionally appeared in
newspapers and partly to the erro-
neous idea that it is necessary that
large amount of earth shall be moved
at one time.
A dry red cedar log is the best ma
terial for drag. Red elm and wal
nut when thoroughly dried are ex-
cellent, and box elder, soft maple, or
even willow are preferable to oak,
hickory, or ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long and from 10 to II inches in
diameter, and carefully split down
the middle. The heaviest and best
slab should be selected for the front.

Curt Robinson Captures Sabbath Disturbers

If vigilance upon the part of the

sheriff C. A. Robinson will break ur

On last Sunday he heard of a disturbance
along the pike near C. A. Arnold s
home and upon arriving upon the scene
he found more than he could cope with
single handed, not that the crowd was
obstreperous, but the number exceeded
the capacity of his "Black Maria, and
he was con peeled to telephone Sheriff
Ballard to come to his assistance. The
two officers arrested and brought to
town William, Taylor and James
Grimes, Dave White and Ed Middle

condition, some of them SO far gone
that they had bedded on the roadside.

Burgess Proved Themselves Heroes
During Paint Lick Flood.

While the flood was raging at Paint
Lick Wednesday morning it was
discovered that a woman and eight
small children were marooned in a
house down the railroad back of the
depot, near tide banks of the creek.
The house was two story one and the
water had risen to such height as }
force the occupants to seek safe' on
the second floor. DR.. w. L. Sarmon
secured a rope and swimming down the
stream distance of sixty feet through
the back water which was from ten to
fifteen feet deep fastened the rope to a
tree hear the house. He was followed
in his heroic feat by Mr.. Burgess and
Mr.. George Conn, and these gentlemen
assembled to the second story of the
house and handed the mother and little
ones to DIR. Carmen, who swan the
distance four more times and until he
had landed them all in safety, making
in all ten trips through the icy water.
At one time he became so chilled as to
induce cramp and he wus compelled to
climb to the limbs of the tree until
circulation was restored, when he again
resumed his work of rescue. How about

are surely worthy of one.

Robinson Insurance Case.

The hearing of the insurance case of
Robinson, ct al, against the Equitable
Life Assurance Society on last Satur-
day before Judge Hardin in the Cir
cult Court attracted no little attention.
The argument of Judge Ed C. O'Rear
of Frankfort, on behalf of the plain
tiffs was pronounced by those who
heard him as one Of the most brilliant
legal arguments ever heard in the
Garrard Circuit Court. The argument
of the attorneys consumed most of the
day. The point at issue upon this
hearing was as to the right of the
plaintiffs to cause the Insurance Com
pany to account in this State for the
profits or the share of. the plaintiffs
profit under their insurance policy.
After the hearing the Judge ruled that
under the terms of the policy the Com
pany must account to the plaintiffs for
the profits as it may appear they are
entitled. This is considered a victory
for the plaintiffs, being one of the
main questions to be decided in the big
litigation

Paint Lick Village Sustains Severe Dam
age From The Waters Of Paint Lick
Greek. Nearly Every Storehouse
And Dwelling Inundated.

The residents of Paint Lick were
awakened at o'clock Wednesday
morning to find the lower stories of
their dwellings under from two to -four
feet of water. The severe rain of the
night had caused an unprecedented
rise in the waters of the creek, it had
changed its course at the railroad
bridge and was running through the
village. The track and approaches to
the railroad bridge were washed away
for a distance of 100 yards on each side,
the turnpike bridge was taken from its
piers and landed about 100 feet down
the creek, every business house in the
city with the exception of Anthony
Jets barber shop, which stands on the
highest point in the village was inun-
dated, and in the bottoms back of the
depot every house was flooded, as was
the case with the structures on the
right hand side of the pike leaving the
depot toward the turnpike bridge. The
business house of Fish & Hammack
contained four feet of water, which
entailed severe loss upon these clever
merchants, as nearly all of their fine
clothing which was on racks and hang
ers was damaged. Other merchants
also suffered severe loss to their stock
and fixtures. The lumber yard of Mr..
l. C. Rucker was washed heller SHELTER,
much of it going down the creek the
remainder being deposited in Mr.. Guy
Rice's yard and in the bottoms. Mr..
George Conn's house was under four
feet of water and his loss by damage
to furniture and household goods was
very heavy. Mr.. W. F. Parks had a
horse and COW drowned. We under.
stand that the losers have no insurance
to cover damage by water. Crowds
fiocked to the scene of the disaster
from Lancaster and other points all
day Wednesday. The damage to the
railroad stopped trains for the day.
