The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-10-28

There are 2o8.o84 people in
kentucky who can neither read
nor write and $1,000 of these are
voters. AS this number is more
than "a balance of power" is it
wonder that we have so many
fool laws and fool lawmakers?

items fairly good stock is car
ried by the paper mills and job
bers, in the majority of cases the
price of paper has been advanced
fully ten per cent. The printers
all purchase this stock from the
mills and jobbers, and .host pay
this increase and they of course
must charge the customer ac-

how much this country depends

not be surprising if the war

if it will be practically impossible

we even import the coloring

STATE SENATOR

Judge Lorenzo r. Thomas is the
candidate for State Senator on the
Republican ticket. His long CON
nection with State affairs and mat.
ters of public welfare coupled with
his long residence and extensive bust
ness interests in this county, espe.
cially fit him for the position to
which he aspires.
Mr.. Thomas is a man of mature
age, good judgment, impressive pre-.
sence and courteous bearing, well
fitted to gain and hold the respect
OF every member of the legislature
and will undoubtedly give a good
account OF himself in the Senate Of
Idaho.

JAIL BREAK
TUESDAY NIGHT

Last Tuesday night two of tbs
three prisoners of the county Jail
made their escape by saving their
way through the iron windows. The
remaining prisoner, defaulting post

trustee and sleeping in the engine
room, never heard the prisoners saw.

Jones was in the court house until
about $3.50 Tuesday night when he
went home, Deputy Sheriff Fackrell

10 o'clock Mr. Jones phoned over to
the office to see If Fackrell, who
sleeps over the office had returned,
and on discovering that he had noe

through one Of the Jail windows heard
the prisoners there and found every-
thing in good shape.
About an hour and a half after hs
returned home Deputy Sheriff Facl-
rell returned to the court house to
retire, but before doing SO made his
usual examination of the Jail ana
found that the two occupants had
made their escape. Sheriff Jones
was at once l4Qtified, and upon in
vestigation it was found that the
prisoners had sprung the inner iros
door and sawed two three-uuarte1
iron bars out Of the rear Jail doc.
They had also attempted to escape
through the north wall where they
had quite hole dug through the
stone and plaster. At the time of

some outside friend who furnished
them with the saw.

THREATEN AN OFFICER

Last Friday morning Sheriff Jones
was the victim of very strenuous
circumstance. Being on tho lookout
for a saddle that had been borrowed
from man at Arco, he went down to
the willows on the Snake river near
Groveland where he was informed by
Mr. Rice that a man and woman with
couple Of horses and saddles were
camping. He Immediately hurried to
the rendezvous of the mysterious cou-
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1914-08-27

pie and found that they had a saddle
which was not the one he was look
Ing for. After examining the saddle
and looking up at the man he found
that he was covered by two six
shooters held on him by the man.
The sheriff tried to reason with him
in vain, when the woman requested
one of the guns which when given to
her, and she also drew bead on
the officer saying: 81 would kill you
as soon as would a rattlesnake"
Not thinking that he would have any
use for a gun when he went in quest
OF the borrowed saddle he was un-
armed and had to submit to the abuse
and threats Of the wayward couple
until they fled to the lavas. Had the
officer gun at the time it would
have been no use to him as he was
unexpectedly covered with two guns
and as there was no charge against
the couple he could not have shot
them in the back after they had
started to get away. The sheriff re,
turned to town for some assistance
and got on the trail Of the psir whom
he tracked to tho lavas when night
overlook him and he returned to town
AS the couple had not the saddle that
Sheriff Jones was after he had no
charge against them, but expects to
soon get them for resisting an officer.
From outside Information this man
and woman have criminal records and
relations and it is the intention of
the sheriff to havc them in custody
in the near future.

sure in injuring or defaming their
fellowmen merely for political or
personal reasons.
When I entered the race for pro
bate Judge, G. w. Stowell was the
only announced candidate. Friends
of mine, among whom were several
lawyers, suggested that l also be-
come candidate. Several days af-
ter announced, G. w. Watts ap-
preached me on the street and in
my place of business and after an
attempt to discourage me, offered to
reimburse me to the extent Of my
filing fee, which l declined to &C.
cept. Next day he announced. Sev-
eral weeks subsequently, on the last
day for filing and only about ten
minutes before tho clerks office
closed, E. A. Doud was brought out
by Roy Palmer and Byrd Trego, ap-
parently for no other motive than
to defeat myself or some of the other
candidates who were not satisfactory
co them.
Had Mr.. Doud announced for tha
office of probate Judge a month be-
fore he did, when he was asked to
do SO by reputable lawyer and citi.
zen, would not have announced,
but now that have done so at the
solicitation Of number Of good citi.

means at my command to be elected
and prove to the people that the
charge made against me by Editor
Trego is as untrue as it is unfair.
