YOUTH CONFESSES
A BRUTAL crime
Says He Killed Consumptive at
Hickman to Secure His
Money.

Hickman, Ky, Feb. 1S.-Declaring
that with the aid of Jesse Bunton,
OF Dukedom, KY, he killed John
Richie Saturday night mere and
robbed him of $40, which Richie, a
consumptive. had saved for the pur-
pose of paying his way West, c. o.
Shelby, a nineteen-year-old boy, is in
jail here, and the officers are look
ing for Bunton.
According to the story of Shelby,
who is known as "Dick," he and Bun
ton had planned by mail and tele-
phone to kill Richie Saturday night.
Bunton, he said, had not been in the
city for some time until the night of
the murder, when the two succeeded
in tolling Richie up the railroad,
where they crushed his head with a
fourteen-inch bar with a heavy nut
on the end of 1t, and then threw, his
body over a thirty-foot bluff into
the river.
Ritchie's body was found at s
o'clock Sunday morning and as soon
as the discovery was announced a
great crowd was attracted to the
scene of the killing. Among those in
the crowd was Shelby, who gave so
cents to a fund which was raised on
the spot to hunt down the murderer.
Officers learned that Richie was
last seen in company with Shelby,
and search was made of Shelby's
rooms, where bloody clothes were
found. Shelby was at once arrested
and taken to police headquarters. AS
soon as he was confronted with the
evidence he broke down and confess
ed. He at first contended that he was
alone in the murder, but later i'm
plicated Bunton.
Fearing mob violence, the officers
took helby to Paducah for safe keep
ing. According to Shelby's story he
got $50 and a gold watch, while Bun
ton got $50 in gold.
Ritchie's home was in Jackson,
Tenn. He was twenty-seven years
old. Bunton, the alleged accomplice
of Shelby, is eighteen.

In The Oil Field.

West Kentucky Oil Co., is prepar-
ing to shoot" all three Of their
producing wells in the near future.
This will no doubt greatly increase
the output. and is merely following
the customary practice in other
fields.
Considerable attention is now being
attracted to the North side of the
river, near Beda,. as biologists and
oil men believe that the crest of
the anticlinal extends in that direc-
ton. .
Bad luck has again overtaken the
drillers of the Rough River Oil and
Gas Co., on the Weller farm, in the
breaking of a stem, and a fishing
job will delay work indefinitely.
Drilling is progressing rapidly in
the Wood Oil Company's we'll on the
Cox farm, where a thick layer OF
stale has rendered the drilling COM
paratively easy for several days.
Large number of oil men are now
in Hartford and since the advent OF
good weather leasing has taken on a
fresh impetus.

GREAT RUSH Of
EQUITY TOBACCO
When Houses Open In Me-
Lean County.
Enough Registered to KeepHouses
Busy Until March 3-.-Rush
At 0wensboro.

Greensboro, Ky, February 20.-An-
nouncement 70 the Equity society
that deliveries would begin in Nc
Lean and Hancock counties was re-
ceived with a great deal of joy. From
reports received from Calhoun, Liv-
ermore and Sacramento, every pound
of Equity tobacco in Mclean county
must have been loaded on wagons
and ready to start to market. At CAL
houn tobacco was registered that
would keep the receiving stations
fully employed until March 8. The
same state of affairs exists also in
the two other points of the county.
The Hancock growers, too. were
ready and rushed the markets to
their limits, and then registered for
positions.
Much disappointment is expressed
at Reeds. in the edge of Henderson
county, at the announcement that no
tobacco would be received there for
ShS Equity POOl. hC AhCIlCdA COAAA-
pany, which bought the tobacco In
that section. has no house at that
point, and 1t will be necessary to de-
liver the product at greensboro.
greensboro was crowded to the
limit Wednesday with tobacco. Both
of the associations received heavily
and good share of the unpledged
crops was brought in. Some few
loads were sold at auction, and 4
good representation passed over the
loose leaf house, which held its reg
ular sale in the afternoon.
The Equity receiving plants are
congested, and have sufficient loads
registered to keep them occupied un-
til Friday evening. The Green river
deliveries are more fortunate, as
they have more houses at which to
unload.

The remains Of Mrs. Eliza C. Duke,
who died at the home of her son
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. J. e.
Swindlehurst, of Livingston, Mon.
Thursday, February 1S, arrived in
Hartford Monday morning and fun
eral services were conducted at the
Presbyterian church by Rev. Nell.
of Beaver Dam. After funeral SER
vices the remains were laid to rest
in lakewood cemetery.
Mrs. Duke was born March %,
1S41, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jo-
seph Miller, Beaver Dam. She and
Thomas S. Duke were united in mar
riage Sept Z. 1865. To this union
were born five children, three sons,

daughters. Mrs. j. e. Swindlehurst

to these elements, restore order and
establish the workings of justice in
the States.
The formality of political recog-
milton, in all likelihood will fall to
the Administration of President-elect
Wilson. There would hardly be time
for negotiation in the remaining few
days of President Taft's term Of Of
flee.
In the event that Ambassador Will
sons term as representative of the
United States in Mexico's capital
should close with the Administration
which sent him there, it would first
be necessary for the President of the
United States to appoint his sue
cessor.
This diplomat, when properly &C
credited to the Mexican government,
would be in a position to further
the negotiations incidental to the
recognition of the new Mexican
regime, when that government has
demonstrated its ability to enforce
the law.
The news tonight found this gov
eminent still firm in its policy of
nonintervention and unwavering in
its preparation, upon moments
notice, to strike an aggressive blow
for the defense of American citizens
should occasion yet demand it.
Although the change, which, 1t Is
believed, will bring relief from the
intolerable conditions following in the
wake of ten days of bloody fighting,
was welcome to those who carry the
burdens of state. Official Washing
ton had no comment to make on the
outcome.
Dispatches from American Ambas-
sador Henry Lane Wilson. confirmed
the salient features of Madero's fall
and Huertas rise to power. but State
Department officials withheld their
opinion. No one sought, however, to
conceal satisfaction in the assurance
of protection to life and property,
which the establishment of order
in Mexico City would bring to the
thousands of Americans and other
foreigners for whose safety this Gov
eminent is responsible before the
world.
Although the step which would
have sent American soldiery into
Mexico had not been taken, every
branch. of the defensive arm of the
service was organized to its highest
efficiency.
The word Of command was all that
was necessary to send troops across
the border from the Texas frontier,
or to land bluejackets and marines
from the six warships already swing
ing at anchor on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of the disturbed re-
public.
Two thousand marines gathered all
along the Atlantic coast are tonight

as such, forced this Government to
pursue the policy which officials
hope will not be necessary.

Fetchjnu Tea Gowns,

Since the dancing craze has so cap
tured the younger set tea dances will
soon be revived. Stunning gowns for
these late afternoon affairs have been
especially designed, for the cut Of the
skirt has much to do with the POSSIBLE
ity of it being worn In the giddy whirl.
The round or V neck prevails. Long
sleeves. with knuckle frills of a trans
parent material. are usually worn. A
wide ceinture or hip drapery or SIM
pie finish for the waist line are the
three styles usually chosen.
The model shown is developed in
gendarme blue velvet. combined with
charmeuse. emphasizing new note IN
composee effects. ~
The sides Of the corsage and skirt
are Of finely plated charmeuse. sup
ported by an oriental band. with ball
fringe Stimulating pannier treatment.
The cap or kimono sleeves. scalloped
yoke and princess panel are Of velvet
the latter decorated at close intervals
with pendent balls of self material. A
band Of oriental garniture finished the
circular neck line. supplemented by a
transparent band of finely tucked blue
chiffon. The lower sleeves Of plated
chiffon are caught tightly at the wrist
with band of blue velvet, the frills
falling over the hands.

Spare Not the SOAP.

'The use of soap Is more or less O.!
a habit But it is a pleasant one. GER
tainly not one to be discouraged"
writes an Engl.shwoman. British sci
entists may prove to the hilt-or the
top Of the bath-that we use it more
than Is necessary. or even advisable.
but. IL so. it is case Of commendable
error. Once let the idea get abroad
that soap is best used sparingly and
away will swing the pendulum in the
other direction. and we shall become
an unwashed and soapless generation.
Far better to soap too much than new
er to have soaped at all. Our skins.
especially in these days. when perfect
soap Is Obtainable. can surely better
withstand too much sapOnaceOus
treatment than coatings Of dust over
laying choked pores. At all events.
we look the better for It,"
