MASQUERADED As A GIRL
UNDER MOTHERS ADVICE

Victor, Col. Jan. 11.-After mas
queradins as a girl for Is years, the
sex of Irene Moynahan was learned
to-day. He was arrested in La Jun
ia by the Sheriff. who. because of
his masculine appearance. decided
he was boy in girls clothing.
Irene was on his way to visit his
father in Bisbee. Ariz. Until the
holidays Irene had been a student
in the Victor High School, and all
his life he had passed Off as a girl.
Mrs. Moynahan. when told that
her son had been arrested, and that
his sex had been discovered, stated
that she had always passed him off
as girl because of her disappoint-
ment in having two sons. Not even
her hush; nd was aware of the boys
sex. she said.
This was borne out by the dis
coverv OF letter in the boys eff
fects b. the Sheriff at La Junta.
The litter was addressed to his
father in Bisbee and declared that
the mother was sending a son to
him as a New Years gift"

SKELETON OF A GIANT
DINOSAUR UNEARTHED

Pittsburg, Penn, Jan. 11.-Di-
rector w. j. Holland, of the Carne-
gle Museums, has announced the
discovery of great dinosaur that
is the biggest prehistoric freak yet
unearthed.
Word of the finding was sent to
Andrew Carnegie, with brief par
ticulars.
The find was made at the very
top of a peak of the Uinta range in
Utah, $500 feet above sea level.
This ancient reptile is being packed
and will be sent along with other
specimens to the Carnegie Museum.
Director Holland says this Uinta
range is veritable treasure ground
for the hunter Of prehistoric skele7
tons. Before summer more than
100 tons of bones will be sent to
to be assembled and plac-
ed with the big collection already
there.
Strangely" said Director Hol-
land, "the remains of these great
reptiles have been scattered or
washed about by. storms. 1t appears
almost as though herd lay down
in one spot and died. This newest
find will eclipse anything in the
dinosaur line ever SEEN"

BY Judge i'm His Instruc-
tons To Jury.
KENTUCKY STANDS AS FOURTH
Among States for Number of
HOmicideS = Lexington
Second for Cities.
HE SPEAKS FROM KNOwLEDGE

Danville, KY, Jan. 9.-When the
January term of the Boyle Circuit
Court convened here. Judge Charles
A. Hardin delivered the most vigor-
Gus charge ever heard in the local
court house.
He departed from the set charge
usually given to grand juries, and
dealt largely in statistics which he
had gathered by wide research. He
declared that official statistics show
that the United States stands first
in the civilized world in the num-
Der of homicides committed accord
ing to population. and that there
has been an increase in the last
decade.
Kentucky stands fourth on a
comparative basis for the number
of homicides committed in the diff
ferent States of America, while a
few years ago Lexington, KY, stood
second among the cities of the
United States in the number of
homicides. Louisville stands fifth.
According to Judge Hardin this
startling state of affairs in the
UnitedStates, and especially in Ken
lucky, is due to a sort of schooling
whereby criminals are educated as
the result of the lack of punishment
for small offenses.
The grand jury was forcibly re-
minded that every offender, how
ever small the offense, should be
brought to justice. and that the vio-
lator who tempts the young should
be more harshly dealt with than
those leading astray the older. He
laid stress upon the violations Of
the cigarette law and the local OPP
tion law.
"The statistics show declared
Judge Hardin, that As per cent. of
all crimes committed in the United
States are by young men under 81
years of age"
According to Judge Hardin one
of the greatest schools of vice and
crime is the blind tiger" which
fiourishes in many parts of Ken
lucky and the jurors were instructed
to devote especial attention to
bringing blind tiger" operators to
justice. He commented upon a re-
cent charge given to the Fayette
county grand jury by Judge Charles
Kerr, wherein the latter referred to
the action of Boyle county jury
in filming woman $500 for killing
her husband. The Judge said that
indicate that the jurors OF
Fayette county have, in the past,
been extremely lenient in the hand
ling of murder cases, thereby es-
Lexington upon the map
as a city with an astounding homi-
cidal record.
The court house was crowded
with spectators. and the sensational
charge is the talk of the town.
