JUDGE BUTLER LOSES.

Pikeville, KY, March 24.-The
Court of Appeals last week annull-
ed the election of John F. Butler
as Circuit Judge of the Both Judic-
ial District, in the case of Rober-
son VS.. Butler, charging the defen-
dant with the use of money, ETC.,
in securing his election. Robertson
was the defeated candidate upon
the Democratic ticket for the Of
flee at the election of November
1912; and as the Governor must
Row, appoint a successor to serve
for the remainder of the term,
Judge Robertson may apply to GOV.
McCreary for the appointment. Both
men have served with credit on the
Judicial bench.
Other Democrats prominent in
the political arena are aspiring for
this appointment, among these are
F! w. Showers and Elmer d. Steph-
enson. Friends of Judge Butler have
thought that the Governor would
perhaps reappoint him. Robertson
was appointed to fill out the re-
mainder of the term when the dis
trict under Judge Kirk was divided
to form the new district three
years ago.
The court conceded majority of
13I votes to Butler; but also held
that much money was expended by
both sides in the race, and upon
this ground the election was multi
fled.

in successful and altogether pleas

Saturday evening. The program had

the program embraced both the SER

Among the classic works of the
musical art, the first number by the
instrumental quartet was two selec-
tions from the operate works of
Richard Wagner, the Prayer from

Surgeons of American
Staff in Paris Isolate
Germ Causing Gangrene

PARIS. Nov. "A microbe causing
gangrene to develop in bullet and
shrapnel wounds has been discovered
by Drs. James Scarlet. and Georges
Dasjardins. of the American ambu-
lance service.
Previously. initial cultures all were
impure, leading to the belief of scien-
lists that the disease was caused no.
by a single germ. but by combina-
ton of germs. After much research
and experimentation on horses and
guinea pigs, a single bacillus has been
discovered and isolated and the serum
is now being prepared by DR.. Henri
Weisberg, of the Pasteur Institute.
The discovery Is expected in medi-
cal circles to have forld-wide import
ance. The serum is being injected
into patients ON the battlefield in the
early stages of infection, obviating
amputations and preventing a great
loss of life.
