Chicken Thieves.

On Monday night last Mr. Joe Wagers.
who lives near Waco, had close call
and at the same time caused some chick
en- thieves a similar experience About
IL o. clock he was awakened by hearing
two pistol shots Hastily arising, he
started TO ascertain the cause of the
shooting. He met his wife on the stair
way and she thought the sho ting had
been done by her husband Four more
shots quickly followed and, upon inves.
tIgation next morning it was discovered
that the thieves had taken the trunk of
tree standing near the poultry yard for
Mr.. Wagers. as several bullets were dis
covered imbedded in it. AS ill-luck
would have 1t, the pistol which Mr.
Wagers seized bad not been used for so
long that it would not fire and the auto
matte shot gun was also out of order.
The thieves made their escape and the
next morning Mr.. Wagers found the
tracks of two wagons in the road. 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Wagers' pistol
and gun have been put in order and nice
ly polished. II is also useless TO say
that the 300 or more chickens which
Mrs. Wagers possesses need feel no
alaSn, for as sure as the thieves again
visit that locality they will be met with
warm welcome.

Commercial Club Suit

For some months past the Richmond
Com mercial Club has been making in
vestigations as to the excessive freigh I
rates paid by Richmond and Madison
county merchants as compared with the
rates paid by other towns and cities in
Central and Eastern Kentucky. 1t soon
became evident on investigation that
Richmond rates were considerably high
err than other points about the same
distance from shipping points. Records
have been looked into and facts gather
ed and the matter brought before the
Interstate Commission, 60 railroads and
steamship companies being made de-
PENDANTS, and the Richmond CONNER
cial Club, composed of merchants and
business men of this city, being CON-
plainanis. Similar action was taken
some months ago by the Commercial
Club of Lebanon and by other clubs in
the State, resulting in lowering of rates.
Those in position TO know say there is
little or no question but what the suit
by our Commercial Club will result in
lowering of rates and the saving of ma
nv thousands of dollars to the merchants
of our city and county. Messrs. Green
leaf and Harrington are the attorneys
for the local Commercial Club.
