TRICT SCENE OF TER
RIBE TRAGEDY.

On last Friday five bandits, who were
afterward found to be Italian miners
who had been discharged, and whose
names were unknown, killed James
Shaler, paymaster of the Glen Alum
Fuel Co. and robbed him of his satchel
and the company pay roll amounting to
$4,000, which he was carrying to the
mines to pay the miners. Pursued by
a possee, the bandits fled to Businesses
of the mountains and running fight
followed until the bandits retreated to
a cave. After exhausting every other
effort the pursuing party began throw
ing dynamite sticks against the moun-
tain side, one stick finally falling into
the cave. The fire of the bandits then
ceased and upon going into the cave,
the terribly mutilated bodies of the
men were found. The pursuing party
lost six of their number during the rum
ming fight with the bandits, and three
more of them were seriously wounded.

The smiling countenance of Postmas-
ter Ephriam P Brown now greets the
patrons of the Lancaster postoffice.
Formal transfer of the office was made
after business hours on last Saturday
night and Mr.. Brown assumed charge
on Sunday morning. Mrs. Clara ID.
Prather, who has served so long and
efficiently under MIR West will remain
with Mr.. Brown for some time and
until he becomes cOnversant with his
new duties. These duties will come
naturally to Mr.. Brown as he served
for number of years as deputy under
Mr.. Hamilton and is we'll acquainted
with the general run of the business,
but the changes which necessarily come
with the lapse of time, will require the
services of someone who is acquainted
with the business as it is now conduct
ed at least for time.
''Eph' Brown as he is favorably
known, is familiar figure to the pat
rons of the Lancaste. pOstoffice. For
fourteen years he has been employed
at the drug store of Mr.. J. Z. Stormes.
and during this time has made the ac-
quaintance of the majority of the peo-
pie of the county. He is of a genial
disposition. clever and accommodating,
always ready to accommodate, and to
Epoyr hi iS n lilo hin, ooI h. will
undoubtedly make a splendid official.
The outgoing postmaster Mr.. w. T..
West has served the public in that ca
pacity for the past sixteen years, and
he retires with the well wishes of the
patrons of the office and the community
in general. MIR. West desires to ex-
press to the patrons of the office his
sincere thanks for the many courtesies
extended him during his tenure of office,
and to bespeak the same kind treatment
for his successor. Mr.. West says that
he is personally acquainted with the
LOG first, second and third class post
masters of the state, has discussed in
the meetings of the postmasters with
them the conditions existing at the
various offices, and from what he has
learned and the expressions he has
heard, he is confirmed in the belief
that no office in the state has a kinde,
or more forbearing set of patrons thar
the office at Lancaster.
The postoffice will remain at the
present site until the construction OF
the new government building is com.
pleted, as the government has a con.
tract for the present location. The
site for the new building is bought anC
paid for, and the appropriation has al
ready been made for its erection, anC
Mr.. Brown states that if it be possible
for any steps TO be taken to hurry along
the building of the structure, he ex.
poets to lose no time in taking those
steps, and that he proposes to investi-
gate the matter without delay.

GARRARD COUNTY
KENTUCKY RED
BERKSHIRE" HOGS
MAKING SPLENDID SHOW AT STANFORD

Stanford is having one of the best
Fairs ever seen IN this part of Ken
lucky and with ideal weather and a
splendid show of stock, good crowds
are attending.
All eyes were conferred Wednesday
on the great hog show, there being %
pens of as fine porkers as were ever
gathered together in Fair enclosure.
The Kentucky Red Berkshire" seemed
to be the predominant strain, and there
was animals of this breed alone, the
majority of them belonging to Garrard
county breeders. Messrs A. K, Woods
and j. Wade Walker, j. G. Burnside,
Luther Gibbs and j. N. aud Will Denny
had exhibits and all of them succeeded
in getting inside the money in one or
more shows.
In the ring for the best boar under
eight months there was Is entries. A.
K. Walkers Gilt Edge" won first and
Woods Walkers ''ked Ranger" second.
Best sow under eight months, twelve
entries, Woods Walkers Red Riding
Hood, 1st, w. B. Turley of Madison,

Best sow over eight months, entries,

Walkers Lady of the Lake" I'd.

Best pen consisting of boar and
sows, Woods Walker Ist, Turley I'd.
Best barrow, ]. G. Burnside LIST, Bob

All the winners were members of the
recently organized Kentucky Red
Berkshire Society, and the amount OF
interest taken and enthusiasm shown
over the exhibits, seems to indicate
that this strain of swine is to take q
prominent, position with the swine
breeders of the country.
The show of stock is unusually good
the rings all filling fairly well and the
"f1oral Hail. is much better than is
usually seen at county fair. The K.
Ps are out in force and doing every.
thing in their power to make the event
q success.

VICTOR A. LEAR LOSES SIX
TEEN HORSES and
MULES FROM
MENINGITIS.

The many friends of Mr.. Victor A.
Lear the clever farmer and stockman,
deeply sympathize him over the recent
severe loss which he has sustained.
Within the last week or two Mr.. Lear
has lost sixteen mules and brood mares,
presumably from meningitis, or at
least two competent veterinaries, Drs.
Casey and Pontius, have so diagnosed
the malady.
The disease was doubtless brought
about or superinduced from something
which the animals ate. They were
being pastured on the farm of Mr.
Clay Sutton. and in an adjoining field
oats were cut with mower and then
drawn into windows and baled; some
of the windows were subjected to a
drenching rain and as result moulded
and could not be baled. After the bal
ing process was finished the oat field
was thrown open to the stock and the
mules and horses were seen eating this
moulded oats, and it is thought prob
able that this might have produced the
meningitis, or whatever malady 1t was,
which caused the death of the stock.
Mr.. Lear raises number of fine
mules every year, and among the
number lost were some very valuable
animals. in fact they were all high
priced stock, one and two year old
mules, and fine brood mares, and Mr..
Lear's loss will doubtless exceed $1,000.
Several other animals were exposed to
the infected animals and partook of
the same forage and are now sick. but
Mr.. Lear entertains hopes of saving
them.

MEETING With MUCH
ENCOURAGEMENT

The people of Danville are meeting
with much encouragement in their eff
forts to raise sufficient money to build
a hotel. This banks are subscribing for
the stock in blocks of $1,000 and it
looks very much as if they had at last
hit upon the proper method to raise
the funds desired, which is $4,000.
When such ar effort was essayed in
Lancaster, the slogan was ''let no one
escape" and even down to the various
fraternal organizations took stock in
the laudable enterprise.
