BASE BALL
OR NOT?
That's the Question. Is
Mt. Sterling to Have
a Team?
II We Are to Have a Team This
Season We Must Get Busy.

The question as to whether Mt.
Sterling will be represented in the
Blue Grass League this season is
one that must be solved and solved
at once. If we are going to have
a team we must get busy. 1t is a
certainty that a losing team will
not pay in Mt. Sterling, but owing
to the fact that we have one of the
best ball towns in the league it is
hoped that we will again be repre-
sented. We already have the fran
chise and if enough players of
ability can be secured base ball
will prove drawing card for Mt.
Sterling.
Mr.. S. s. Pinney, who managed
the team last year, is going to go
among the merchants and fans of
this city at an early date and do all
he can to help secure a team
for the coming season. He
states that he is willing to do
everything he can to help get a
team here and will make a liberal
donation, but owing to other bust
ness matters will not have time to
take any active part in the man
agement.
Base ball is the most popular
pastime in America and if we are
going to be represented in organ
lied company we must get busy at
once. The question is, will we
donate enough money to secure a
first class team. 1t is now up to
the fans and lovers of the sport.

MADfRO
KILLED
Former President and
ViCe-PreSident of
Mexico Killed.
Were Being Taken to Penitentiary
When Fatal Shots We're Fired.

Francisco 1. Madero and Jose
Pine Susrez, deposed President
and Vice-President, respectively,
of the Mexican Republic, we're shot
and killed when an attempt was
made to rescue them from an au-
tomobile that was transferring
them to the penitentiary, accord
ing to official report. The guards
at the penitentiary have been in
creased and even their widows were
refused permission to see the bodies
of the slain men pending the COM
pletion of autopsies. News of the
tragedy was received by President
Taft on his arrival from New York,
and has caused apprehension in
Washington. Ambassador Wilson
and the Diplomatic Corps at Mex
leo City refused an invitation to
luncheon from de la Barra until
Madero's death was Invested of
mystery. 1t is generally believed
that the tragic event has placed an
additional strain upon the already
tense relations between this Gov
eminent and that in the Mexican
Capital. The immediate result
will be to hasten military and ma
val preparations in order to have
soldiers ready to answer call for
instant embarkation if further de-
velopments in Mexico should de-
mand their employment.

PfTTIT'S
SLAY[RS
All Captured But One.
Three of Them Here
Thursday.
One At Clay City Reported to
Have Been Mobbed.

Three of the slayers of Marshall
Petit, of Clay City, were in this
city last Thursday and one of them
was captured by our shrewd po-
liceman, James Upton and lodged
in the county Jail. A great deal
of excitement was created in this
city when it became known that
the negroes were here and still
more excitement prevailed when
Capt. Mullikin and his blood
hounds arrived about dark &C
companied by number of armed
men from Powell county. Another
one of the negroes was arrested in
Winchester and placed in the
Clark county Jail by Winchester
officials.
That Policeman James Upton
captured the right man when he
lodged Tenny Smather, of Clay
City, Powell county, in Jail here
Thursday evening was settled Fri
day morning. After a nights
siege in Jail with officers giving
him gruelling examination,
Smathers confessed that he was
the murderer of Marshall A. T.
Petit, who was killed near Clay
City Wednesday night. The ne.
gro said that Petit had placed him
under arrest, and that he grabbed
a shotgun and shot the officer kill
ing him instantly. He says that
Immediately after he shot the Of
ficer and he fell, three other shots
were fired into his PROSTATE body,
but that he does not know who
fired them, but believes his broth
err, George Smathers and Frank
Williams, did the shooting.
He said that after the shooting
all three left and came together to
Black Greek Hill, about nine
miles from this city, where they
separated, and he came on here
where Mullikin's dogs trailed him.
The negro was badly scared.
seemingly afraid of mob violence,
and asked the officers to protect
him. He says that he is sorry for
killing Petit, but that being
drunk on mean whiskey" was the
cause. George Williams is still at
large, but officers from Powell and
this county are securing the coun-
ty for him. Chief of Police Glib
bons found pistol and some KEYS

tured.
SAID TO HAVE BEEN MoBBED.
Bert Smathers, father of the
negroes who we're arrested in this
city and Winchester, and who was
himself arrested at Clay City, has
mysteriously disappeared from Jail
and it is>reported that he has been
mobbed and thrown in Red River,
however, this is emphatically de-
MED by officials at Clay City, but
owing to the fact that the lock on
the Jail was broken from the out
side it look as though there might
be some truth in the story.
The Murder of Marshall Petit
was one of the filest crimes ever
committed in Powell county. The
officer with two deputies had gone
to arrest some disorderly negroes
and had captured Bert Smathers,
the father of the other three and
while the two deputies were gone
to place him in Jail and get more
ammunition Petit was murdered.
He was shot five times with a
pistol and twice with a shot gun
and his head was beat into a jelly
with a railroad tie. When the
deputies returned the body of the
murdered official was found in the
road and the negroes had made
their escape. The feeling at Clay
City was intense and if any of the
negroes had been found in Powell
county they would have undoubt-
eddy been killed on the spot.
This is the second officer of the
law who has been killed by treach-
erous negroes in this section with
in the last few months and it is
hoped the guilty will pay the
death penalty.
Our time will be devoted exclu-
sively to the tin and plumbing
