FORD, OHIO COUNTY, KY. FRIDAY, AUGUST l, 1913

about 9 o'clock Mrs. Foster heard a
noise in the poultry yard, and called
to her husband, who raised on his
pillow, and could distinctively see
the thief at the door of his coop. MIR.
Foster ran out to the yard and
knocked Hines down and jumped on
him, before he could realize what had
happened. Mrs. Foster then ran in
to the house and brought out the
family revolver, and Mr.. Foster held
his victim until Town Marshal Stevens
arrived and took Hines to the couu-
ty JAIL, In the scuffle with Hines, Mr..
Foster was bruised slightly, as he
only had on his night clothes, Hines
made an attempt to get away and wa'
given a gentle silencer by Mr.. Foster
every time he made a move.
Hines will be arranged before the
authorities Immediately and every
effort will be made to put stop to
this business. When Hines was caugt
he had already broken into the coop
which in itself is a penitentiary Of
fense. He had his sack with him to
carry off his booty and carried a
heavy loaded cane, which he tried to
use several times. :

Washington, July 2S.-Farming is
not the most profitable business In
the world. railroad press agents to
the contrary notwithstanding, accord
ing to a bulletin of the department
of agriculture.
For the first time in the history
of farming in the United States the
department has managed to get accu-
rate data on the subject.
II reports that the average income
of the American farmer is $640.4O a
year. 1T is reasonable to infer"
says the department. that at least
half of the farmers in this country
have even smaller incomes.
Individual farmers here and there
have incomes larger than this aver
age, but the facts indicate that on the
whole the incomes of the farmers in
this country, even If we include as
part OF the income those things
consumed on the farm where they
are produced, is certainly not more
than sufficient to pay per cent ON
the investment and ordinary farm
wages for the labor they do, and 1t
is probably considerably less than
this. ~.

Central City, KY, July 29.-One OF
the most important captures Of re-
cent months in Western Kentucky
was made here last Sunday morning
by the local officers on telephone tn
structions from Elizabehwtton. The
man captured was Arthur johnson,
colored, wanted in several placeS for
forging checks of from $500 to $1,000
each. He was turned over to the
Elizabethtown officers by Chief Of
Police Langley.
A message came from Elizabeth
town Sunday morning asking the To-
cal officers to be on the lookout for
Arthur johnson a big mulatto,
handsomely dressed and wearing a,
silk hat. 1t was STATED that he had
forged check for $500 on a bank in
Mississippi and deposited 1t in
bank at Elizabethtown. Using his
bank book as evidence that he had
money. johnson then scattered
checks everywhere. getting goods
and money. He then elft Elizabeth
town for parts unknown.
AS soon as the telephone message
was, received Chief Langley went 0v-
er to the depot to find out about any
freight trains coming from Eliza
bethtOwn, and while he was there
Assistant Chief Glenn walked up
With the negro. Johnson had passed
along in front of police headquarters
and Glenn recognized him by the der
scription sent from Elizabetheown.
The negro admitted that his name
was Arthur johnson. but protested
against being arrested, saying that
he was a Mason. a X. p, an Odd Eel.
low and gentleman. He was tn
formed that black sheep sometimes
slip into the best of lodges, and was
taken to jail.
Investigation showed that the me-
gro had used one Of his checks 10
the. amount of SIS on the Bennett
Clothing company. getting some
clothing Saturday night. He also
tried to pass a SO check at Fergu-
sons saloon. but got a little too gay
and his check was turned down. He
then went to Anthony. Groves and
Johnson's stable and wanted a rig TO
go to South Carrollton. but he had
spent all his money and the proprie-
tors wouldn't let him have the rig.
1t was probably his intention to cross
into Ohio county and dispose of the
rig.
Chief Langley took Arthur" 10
Cecilia Sunday afternoon and was
met there by Elizabethtown officers.
They informed him that the man bad
served term in a southeren peniten-'
tiary under the name of George
Thomas and was wanted in two En-
diana cities for forging $1,000 checks.
1t is believed that there is a large
reward offered for Johnson's capture.
